N2L and Crawfie this thread is not much traveled, but we're in the minority, right? You're both are on the right track.

I've been giving up foods since summer in an attempt to deal with my dermatitis-which-cannot-be-named. No more cow's milk dairy or eggs. Things are improving and I'm even losing ounces for the first time in a long time. This is what I need to do. Best of all, my "love handles" are getting smaller and I've had them so long I thought they were a permanent feature of my body.

All we can do is make the choice to stay OP, one minute at a time.
