From what you've said, there seems to be enough EFAs in your diet, but sometimes people can have problems converting the plant ones. Maybe that's part of the issue? Might be worth finding an Omega 3 supplement with lots of DHA, there are vegan one...
my skin is dry, my hair is dry, my legs itch and my hair is dry and brittle
From that list, it might be lipid dry rather than water dry. Lipids are fats, in particular Omega 3 essential fatty acids. Are you doing a low fat diet? Or under a lot of ...

gee that was rather a random statement, trying some distraction techniques from some questions?

Hi Yoda! I've noticed that seem to comment often on Ayurveda. Do you have some background and / or expertise? I am asking this as I have some questions regarding my dosha, being vata, and surviving a raw diet in a cold, dry climate.
Well, I never wasted away and actually feel that some of my deficiencies from poor digestion are turning around. But while I am getting the calories and nutrients I need, I sure do need to eat a lot! I often think of animals, like goats or rabbits...
