Well this title might boggle you a bit, but I've just been in hospital for 2 and half months being fed up. To the nines...

I normally eat to keep my skin clear and go raw vegan when my skin gets bad.

However, for the past 3 years whenever my skin flares up in the slightest, I get malnourished within 3 months of going raw vegan and end up in hospital.

I wouldn't call it anorexia nervosa, because I'm not bent on losing weight and getting thin. I don't have body dysmorphia either. I like being slightly curvy.

My belly could do with getting flatter, but then I'm not obsessed with it...

However, eating salads for lunch and dinner for almost 3 months clears my skin, but then I get low in B12, iron and even lower amounts of Vitamin D.

So this time, when the scabby patch of eczema flared on my foot, I plastered it with French green Argiletz clay, wrapped it in cling film, followed by a sock and left on overnight.

Rinsed off, applied Aloe Vera Gelly and Propolis Creme, then followed by a clean sock.

The scab is getting thinner and I'm looking forward to next month without so much as a scar.

As for the borderline eating disorder, I will be eating red meat once a week to keep from getting spaced out and tired.

So am back with a vengeance.
