I was tormented by my situation a year ago, but after having some personal accomplishments, I found out that life really was worth living, and I was finally free of self-destructive thoughts always bringing me down. I started eating better, getting into an active lifestyle, this kind of thing...I never felt so good in my life ! But the problems were no longer mental, they became PHYSICAL.
Symptoms : After those realisations, my skin kind of "exploded" ; by that I mean that I have awful pimples that covers the entirety of my back. And it scratches a lot...I try to not scratch them for obvious reason, and I can support the itchiness during the day, thanks to my clothes often being 100% cotton, but it becomes unbearable as soon as I expose my skin to the air. So I scratch with a soft towel, and I often find that the towel have blood on it, and when I look back to them, well my clothes have some on them too ! the pimples look like they "explode" during the day, leaving traces of blood in the back of my shirts...
I also got kystic acne on my face and a little bit on my arms, and they leave scars on where they appear
I can't get an appointment to a dermatologist because there are literally none where I live, and I don't want to give money to modern science !
As for my diet : fairly simple I'd say, I almost never eat processed foods, I consume large amounts of milk, dairy, honey, fruits, eggs...I eat red meat at least 2-3 times a week. I started eating lots of chicken and turkey about a year ago, and to this day, I still eat those two animals fairly often
More symptoms : When I talk to people, they often say that my face is really red, and that I have a baby face (as in having big cheeks that one may want to pinch), and if I remember correctly, these two things are caused by a PUFA heavy diet
Ray Peat and his works are very new for me, I discovered him during the weird "conflict" you guys had with the original forum, and seeing the mess that the RPF had become, I came here seeking for your help. I bought carrots today to try the famous carrot salad mixed with coconut oil, and I can't wait to try it.
Thanks for reading, I would be grateful to anyone who could help me !
