Hi, I'm somewhat new to the idea that I might have ENS. I had rhinoplasty in 2007, and I will probably give a more detailed story in another post. I have looked around the forums a fair bit, searching through old topics, trying to read as much as I can.
I think I'll have lots of questions, but for some reason I'm going to start with this. I was wondering if anyone with ENS has any or all of the following visible physical symptoms/attributes that I have:
Dry skin on face - to the extent that I get kind of facial dandruff
- similar skin problem with hands, arms.
Facial acne (I'm 29 and it's not a normal kind of acne I got in my teens)
Brittle hair, falls out a bit.
Dandruff in hair.
Very veiny arms, hands.
Dry mouth.
Very low body fat.
Very pale complexion, including darkness under eyes.
I don't sweat on my face, ever.
I don't sweat very much on the rest of my body.
Circulation issues - feet very red after a shower.
Hard nails.
Nose: Very red in cold weather, tends to swell on certain days.
These are of course, all things that I didn't have before my surgery, and before all my nasal dryness/breathing issues started.
If anyone can relate to these symptoms or shares them, please let me know. I would like to see if it's possible ENS causes these, though at the same time I do realise ENS causes anxiety and certain symtpoms can be caused by anxiety.
Thanks for reading,
Joe
