and then you gt to focus on their bad points when you want to stop liking them

So that's where I'm going wrong?

i know its where i have in the past

why who you wantig to hate?

...cos i have plenty of bad points if you mean me!

I try not to hate anyone, I try to be about these things but I'm only a beginner

you know what i meant ..

Oh there's plenty of things I have in mind for you...hating's _not_ one of them

'ahem'

so we moaning about then?

just the draining effect this cold's having on my tummy

So what you think if your focus on your tummys bad points itll stop bothering you?

Have you tired aromatherapy or anything like that?

Aloe Vera juice/yoghurt works well so long as the inflamation's only mild (in me - some people swear by it but I've gone past that stage already)

aromatherapys using oils n stuff.. works wonders it does..

I've been using a mix of lavender and *checks* peppermint to aid with the breathing but prolonged use can dry you out even more - as for homeopathic help with the IBD there's not much to go on, yet though some local Chinese herbalists claim to be able to help, not sure whether to give them a try (Z would do his nut in! )

For a start you'd use eucalyptus to help with a cold (breathing)..peppermint is for nausea!

It's certainly helped!

Had some menthol crystals right at the start too (not had as in taken...)

A friend of mine haad a really bad excema flare up a while ago on her hands..so bad her skin was like sandpaper n she couldnt move her hands in the morning! I persuaded her to let me rub soome lavender oil into them (diluted in a base) n by the timid finisghed itd started going down n didnt flare again for days..

no no no you musnt ingest it!

in the bath or a massage may help though..

Mmmm, a massage
