Tazorac Cream - Anyone Ever Use This?

[Camille'sBigSister]

HA... isn't that the truth!

Funny thing is the gluten free food is icky... So I just buy brown rice flour and make some of my own things. Most of the time I just eat without any bread stuff, just the plain old food.

There's storms brewing around here today, plus a tropical system forming in the Atlantic... I think that's why I'm a bit down today. The weather affects me badly... makes my body hurt... I don't think I'll EVER figure that one out..

Cecile, I've never cared for bread, so I don't miss it. But DH is a bread addict!!! Since he's full-blooded Italian, he was very interested when I told him about the prevalence of celiac disease in Italy. He's trying to go gluten-free now, but the only gluten-free bread he likes is rye. I ordered it from the gluten-free bakery online.

I'm so sorry you're hurting. Haven't checked the weather channel today, but I hope your weather clears up tomorrow. Can't stand it when you're in pain!

[jerseyangel]

Aren't you feeling well today, Celia?

[jerseyangel]

Body just hurts and have been down, but the weather really affects me, it's odd.

How have you been doing with the water? Have you been feeling better?

I'm doing much better with the spring water. It's amazing, really. I've unfortunately had back to back glutenings this past week. I'm so careful, but anytime I try something a bit different, it happens.

Sorry you are not feeling very well. I hope whatever it is passes quickly.

The humidity makes my feel much worse--this weekend, we had low humidity and low 80's. It was so refreshing. Of course, the humidity is back today. I'll feel better come October

[angel-jd1]

HORRORS!!!!! I forgot about those evil things!!! Don't have one. Ain't gonna get one. Now I'll have nightmares!!!

I have one........it creepys me out........however at the same time fascinates me!! You can SEE each and every pore!! Wierdness.

Celia,

Now that's my kind of picture!

[mouse]

I am going to bed now as I am really very tired. Did not sleep during my nap time. And some way or other I have gotten glutened today. Had the severe heartburn twice. I have no idea what from as I have cooked and baked everything myself. Maybe after I get some sleep, I will be able to really think it through. Luckily I don't get real sick, just the bad heartburn and sometimes bad stomach aches. I will glance at the other threads as I finish my nebulizer treatment. Yes, I am still on them. Still am getting stuff up and still wheezing. But, it is getting better by leaps and bounds now. Nite.

I hope you feel better soon Celia. Yes, be sure and tell your kids never to get old - he he. It sure is not all I thought it was cracked up to be.

I'll send you guys some cool winter vibes from Sydney. Have I mentioned enough times that it's a bit chilly here? . Then I'll somehow steal some of your humidity through cyber space and we'll all be feeling much better. Okay that didn't really make sense. What is this thread supposed to be about again?

qUEEN OF HEARTS

WHERE DO YOU LIVE AND WHERE WAS YOUR SONS SHOW?

MY SON IS AN ARTIST AND HAD A SHOW IN A COFFEE SHOP IN HIS COLLEGE DAYS.

My son actually wants to be a pro-- his favorite course in college so far was photojournalism. My son had his first show at a local coffee shop this summer. It was so exciting!

JASON THOUGHT ABOUT PHOTOJURNALISM TOO.

I dunno, I can't keep up!!!!

Coffee: I am so jealous of all of you who can drink it. One cup makes me feel like Superwoman for two whole days (really! I get so much done, it's amazing!), but then the crash comes--a two-ton headache, and I feel like I am underwater, and no matter how much MORE coffee I drink, I never quite make it back to normal (i.e., how I felt BEFORE I drank the coffee in the first place). It takes me 7-10 days to get over one cup of coffee.

Mirrors: very disappointing no matter what. But there are a lot of very cool running bits about mirrors in the Harry Potter books...

Glutening: I finally was sure I'd been glutened (first time noticing a reaction! I finally felt like I knew what you've all been talking about!) when I had stomach pains and diarrhea for a couple of hours after dinner last night. But then my duaghter had the same thing today, and then son #2 told me he's had it yesterday, and son #1 said he'd had it the day before.

So the good news is, I didn't get glutened. The bad news is, I wouldn't know if I've been glutened if it bit me in the tush. Or is that good news?

[SarMar1026]

I was given tazorac cream once for mild acne - caused a horrible reaction and my whole face got red and broke out. I don't recommend it, but i also have sensitive skin

[DingoGirl]

This thread was about skin but as gracious as Dingogirl is she let us gab in here about anything. She's been busy lately and I do miss her so much.

gracious....did I have a chance? ha ha ha ha ha you took it from me....and of course I didn't mind one bit, silly. Miss you guys too....just laying low....and too much to do. Sad day....in recovery. family issues - - you know what those do to me. Takes a bit of time to get the wind back in my sails.....so I"ll pop in sometimes but you - - - you just gab here all you want.

Sar Mar, thanks for posting. I have VERY sensitive skin also, and haven't used the stuff in a couple of weeks.....but MAYBE it is just the thing to peel off everything and give me NEW SKIN??? dunno...might wait until winter when there's less sun exposure. I don't think it's good if you can feel your skin burning when the sun hits it......

gotta hit the sack early tonight.

Hi girls.....you know, every night I examine my skin in a magnifier..... I don't think that's doing me any good! but can't.....seem.....to stop.......

this evening I saw a guy I used to date, we chatted briefly....Cecile, you're right.....men do get funny looking as they age.....

[mouse]

There you are Susan. I slept for a couple of hours and up again from coughing. So, had to come on here to see if you had bought the Dingo Dogs with you. Floridian got rid of me and put these beautiful Dolphins in my place. The problem is I am now lost and I need the Dingo Dogs to find me. I may be ugly, but I was so lovable. Couldn't everyone see it in my lovely cross eyes. And my ears are so lovely. Please have your dogs find me.

Hope your family issues settle down soon as we need your lovely humor on here.

Oh, when my friend had the professional job on her face, she said that she HAD to stay out of the sun for months. It was very important that she did. She would not use our pool until the sun was not on it anymore. So, stay out of the sun. A face peel is a face peel, no matter how deep.

Take care and many Hugs.

[DingoGirl]

Hello Dear Armetta....nice to see you.....except we can't SEE you any more and yes, I will alert the dingos to search for a tall, awkward gawky gal with gray pallor, a large beak and was it.....red lipstick? How are you feeling?

Yes, need my humour back. Am SO SO tired....gotta hit the sack. Will check in tomorow.

Got a phone call from you-know-who...it was like talkign to....cardboard - - -dry and stiff and unwieldy - much like I remembered. some things never change..... ha ha ha ha

Love you girls - - -

xoxo

[rinne]

Cissie, I loved what you had to say about mirrors and aging.

If the skin cream works... I've been more or less obsessed about my appearance throughout my life, I tend to be more relaxed when I don't care so much. When I care I focus on all my imperfections....many, many imperfections.

My computer won't let me play on this site, I feel I have worn out my welcome. My posting will be limited until I sort it all out.

[mouse]

I am sorry Rinne that you are having computer problems. I don't know what I would do, but panic. When I was having problems during the stuck in the house pneumonia days, I did panic. My wonderful tech got to me within 24 hours and fixed the problem.

One thing I have learned in my lifetime Susan, is that you usually can't go back. We can try, but it does not turn out well in most instances. Look at it this way - you got to talk with dry, stiff cardboard. Many people who don't know better would love to talk with this particular cardboard. So, you went down memory lane and probably had a good time doing that. As we get older, we throw out the bad and try to only remember the good. Makes life easier when our memories are so selective - he he.

Hope you got a good nights rest. I assume the dingo Dogs are sleeping too. When they wake up, maybe they can try to find me. I am wearing red lipstick. Hugs.

[Canadian Karen]

Hello Darlinks!!!! I tracked you down! With my bloodhound nose, searching relentlessly until I found my faithful friends, GAWD! I'm a Retriever!!!!

Susan, darlink, don't know the story of what's going on, but if this piece of cardboard is a guy from your past, don't get your hopes up. We can never travel through time and re-capture what once was.... If we could, heck, I would jump back in the 80's in a flash and relive that decade long party I had! Ah, to be in your 20's again......

Anyway, glad I found you guys so you can officially wish me luck and send "Villi Standing At Attention" vibes to me for my endo tomorrow. I am actually really quite worried, although I wouldn't admit it to anyone but my celiac friends, who would understand of course......

Hugs.

Karen

Villi vibes are coming your way! Veni, vidi, vinci villi!

What are your worries specifically? That they won't have healed? Sorry I'm not up on your case... you've had an endo before, right?

Leah

[Canadian Karen]

Oh yeah, very well versed in the endo (and colonoscopy) dept!

I have been officially diagnosed refractory, and I am hoping that the little villis standing at attention will prove them wrong.....

[Judyin Philly]

Here's hoping you & your perky villi will prove them wrong, wrong, wrong!! I'll be thinking of you. When's your endo?

Have you thought of giving those villi a few altoids?

Hey Judy Darlink!

Sorry if I have been in my shell lately, just been down and I usually withdraw myself when I get like that.... hide actually lol!

Nothing against you or anyone else, I have just been physically worse than normal and it is incredibly frustrating and instead of leaning on my friends, I tend to withdraw from them so I don't seem like such a downer....... never think it is because of anything you say or do, cuz I luv you guys and I guess have to learn not to be so darned moody....... Almost had the turtle shell out of the closet.....

Hugglies.

Karen

[DingoGirl]

Karen, you found us! Oh so so hoping for a wonderful villi report - - Leah, indeed VENI, VIDI, VILLI - - ha ha ha... Please let us know how that goes and hope you feel so much better soon. Soon!!

Rinne - nice to see you! We are all over the place now, do visit us again.

Yes - cardboard Armetta - - he was never fun, really. I was just a starry-eyed idiot attracted to a man 19 years older, who could OCCASIONALLY be charming. And then, there was the 200-acre property in Big Sur....used to tell my friends I would date the devil to be there and...oh wait....I DID. Silly, foolish youghful decisions but God is really opening my eyes to things, and then I saw that guy last night whom I'd dated just 2 or 3 years ago - - - such an epiphany - truly WHAT WAS I THINKING....he's gone through his divorce now and has become SO bitter.

p.s. Karen I edited the post as to who the singer was - - he may have fans on this board - - will pm you.

well, the family thing - - - my mom actually apologized to me, and this has happened about - four times in my whole life, maybe. So that was quite something and is like a balm to my soul, as I had done nothing wrong.

Love you guys - - gotta get to work - - -

xoxo

[mouse]

So sorry Karen that you are having a rough time. I am praying that tomorrow brings you some smart Villi soldiers standing tall in full dress uniforms. Don't worry about hiding in your shell. There are times that a shell becomes a great comfort. Prayers and so many hugs coming your way.

Susan, that is great that your Mom apologized. What a shocker that must have been for you.

My hubby took me to Whole Foods and Wild Oats this morning. Took a long nap when we got home. Now I am waiting for the appliance repair man to look at my 15 month old refrig. The ice maker is not working and of course it is now out of warranty. This is a side by side, counter depth frig. which cost a fortune. My husband hates when they stick out into the kitchen so far. So I bought this one so that I would not listen to his pet peeve forever. This guy gets $95 just to look at the frig. Then I have to pay for parts and any extra labor. We will probably find that a switch somewhere just reset itself and it will be an easy thing.

Changed my user name as everyone can see. I am the only one on here with the blooming cactus.

[angel-jd1]

I know all you girls (and some boys) are good at being silly. Come on over to my thread about a celiac song and help me out. So far I have me about hurling at wal-mart today. I'm sure somebody can come up with something better than that.

Ms SillyYak Screwed is going to go play in her "famous but un-named" brothers recording studio and sing it! ha It will be a hoot...come over and help.

[Fiddle-Faddle]

Karen--use your shell whenever you need it, it's YOURS!

Am sending prayers that your villi have recovered enough to prove the doctors wrong. Take a nice candle-light bubble bath tonight and RELAX. Villi like it better wihen there's no stress to knock them down with acid. Am also sending good thoughts and relaxing vibes your way. Would send chicken soup if I could! (Hey--they don't call it "Jewish Penicillin" for nuthin'! I firmly believe in chicken soup--when my 17-year-old cat developed kidney failure and stopped eating, I made him chicken soup from scratch--and he perked up for about a week.)

Feel us all sending you good thoughts and prayers, take a deep breath, and get some rest, okay?
