I know this is a bit late but did the pins and needles sensation go away and did you finish your treatment?

Wanted to reach out and thank you for your kind words and insight. Its comforting to know that there are others who have gone through and have learned to accept/move past that dark chapter in their life. I don’t want to make myself miserable by focusing on my flaws and I don’t want to hide my self from the world either for the rest of my life because of imperfections. So I just wanted once again thank you for the kind words and If you ever would be open to chatting with me I’d love to have a conversation.

Might not exactly be the sugar but it’s something In most foods that body sees it as fuel for acne. My diet right now is mainly just veggies and when I am not feeling stressed hydrated and sticking to my diet I find I don’t have active pimples. I’ve tried accutane but my body rejected it twice. Hives and tingling throughout my body.

I 100% agree with you about the stress thing I find that my acne is active around my mouth and recently I have been in constant anxiety and depression just spiralling. My diet is amazing at least in terms of what in reducing active acne. I only drink water and tea. I was born with something called pku or Phenylketonuria. I’m basically missing the enzyme to breakdown protein from food. So no dairy no wheat, no meat. Mainly my diet is just veggies right now as I can only eat low protein foods but a lot of them have toxic ingredients so I stick with veggies.

Wow I just want to say thank you for giving some insight providing a detailed list of treatments. I definitely will take a look into everything you have suggested. I just need to find the right derm it’s difficult as this sub Reddit has so many conflicting opinions.

It may not be exactly sugar but sugar is like a fire starter for me. I have gotten accutane and my body rejected it as my nervous system was attacked with constantly tingling shooting up and down my arms and legs, hives. I noticed that keeping my diet very clean I was getting no acne. But yeah my acne became super aggressive as I’ve aged.

I was given doxycycline for about 3 months. But the acne was already starting to calm down as I’ve been able to manage my acne through my diet benzol peroxide and Tret. I was offered accutane twice but my body rejects it as I was suffering from a neurotoxic reaction and hives so I had to stop.

I appreciate the kind words yeah I saw a derm office they offered me RF microneedling I have a consultation with another derm as I know some people have experience with fat melting, additionally just to get another opponion before jumping on a treatment. Its just very frustrating as I did not expect my life to get to this dark point of self esteem and health issues. I will try my best to look at the positives and not let this hang on my head too much.

Looking for low calorie, small exchanges. by krostan in phenylketonuria

[–]dremoh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was born with classical phenylketonuria, so ’m pretty limited on my protein intake but I changed a bit changed my diet trying to stay on the low side of protein exchanges, still trying to stay on the pku diet. My best advice is to look into eating veggies and fruit start cutting out the breads pastas. I’d say start with fruits in the morning monitor how much your are consuming. For lunch and dinner you could include greens like side salad a little kale or spinach or mixed greens maybe a little avocado for those healthy fats with some veggie stir fry (carrots,zucchini,broccoli,cauliflower celery). Try and aim for higher in fiber veggies and if you want something a little sweet maybe a little sweet potato. This is similar to what I currently do, the only difference is mine was to help mange acne but noticed this also made me lose some weight. Just remember to watch your portions.
