> Yikes! Folliculitis -- I know that means "inflammation of the follicles" but other than the literal translation I don't really know what it is. Sounds painful.
It's not painful at all--just looks ugly where I have it--mostly right foot, right knee, thigh, and a few other places. It's "just" a bacterial infection of the hair follicles.Evidently brought on by stress and lowered resistance, as we know. Of course, in this tropical climate, one can so easily pick up all kinds of skin problems.I don't know what happened to your comment on the Xanax, maybe I accidentally erased it, but be assured I AM taking the .5 mg Xanax each day regardless of how tiny it seems.
Assuming I can make it through the next 12 days, it will be nothing less than a miracle from God for me to get through L.A. via mass transit, no one to pick me up at the airport, do all I must do. I can barely hold my head up now, had to cancel out on tonight's private teaching assignment. I'm so mentally and physically exhausted and in dire need of the proper anti-depressant (we know which one it is) that I pray I won't collapse or get into a totally vegetative state before I can even get the prescription. Can you give me some encouragement? I know I'm asking for a a lot. during these blackest hours ever.
