Sugar.

That's my problem, I think.

Felt pretty crappy Monday, didn't really get moving. The two changes were recent rain and eating a bunch of cheap chocolate sunday night. Today, for some reason, the water has been flowing out of me, no idea why. Stopped twice at the new Popeye's on Hollenbeck at the El Camino while out walking to use the loo, and the second time bought a drink (guilt). "Hi C Pink Lemonade (0% Fruit Juice)" 20 minutes later I'm itching all over; 10 minutes more I'm so tired I can barely think.

Doubt it's the vitamen C.

Time for the BOAT diet for a bit, perhaps.

this might sound a bit strange, ok, it DOES sound a bit strange, but do you use anti-bacterial soap? you can actually kill off too many of the *good* bacteria that your skin needs to protect itself, causing severe itching and opening yourself up to fungal and yeast infections (more itching and rashes)... which might also tie into sugar sensitivity.
and a diabetes check certainly couldn't hurt.
and trying to cut back on white sugar is really good for you... not that I've stuck with it "ooh look! a donut!"
