help...let's see.....my whole face has peeled off repeatedly and I look 15 years younger than I am! (that's what they said at the pub, anyway - they literally shrieked when I told them my age) :lol: try the tazorac, or a retinol cream - - very painful and unsightly at first, though :huh:

Yup, now you must bear the onus of help all of us 40-somethings.....ha ha ha

I'd be nervous, too :ph34r: But don't be! This will be fun.

Now, about peeling off my old skin in order to be mistaken for 35.....(I added 5 years to Susan because I'm older to begin with--I can live with 35!) :P I need to do something--I've really been considering hyroquinone (I think that's how you spell it :blink: ) to fade the spots from the sun. Has anyone tried that?

I figure, if we can't always feel good, we can sure as heck LOOK good :lol: Like Billy Crystal used to say (in his best Ricardo Mantalbon voice) "It's more important to look maavelous, than to feel maavelous". B)

:lol: can you believe I have such bad anxiety about just starting a thread?

I sure can! Why do you think I almost never start one? I post all the time--on other people's threads! :ph34r:

Patti - - :lol::lol:

Carla - it's Tazorac cream, and my friend gave me the samples - she believes she has something weird going on on her TORSO skin - OMG - she is psychotic about it and keeps going to the derm - she's my best friend and I just shake my head - I told h er, as we age, we just get barnacles and stuff...you can't even SEE the stuff on her skin, it's more like a texture change. Anywho, she gave me the Tazorac (and all the other things that aren't working for her alleged condition) , I think it's prescribed for acne and aging issues....it seems to be behaving like a retinol cream but I still have some breakouts so am using it and sticking with it.

Patti - I have tried that bleaching cream for pigmentation - I actually think this stuff works better. But I probably didn't stick with the bleaching stuff as long as I should ahve.

Okay - rented a movie two days ago (Syriana) and should probably watch it...and it's Sunday, my farvorite day, and it's OVERCAST :rolleyes: (my favorite thing next to rain) and when it's a rainy or overcast Sunday....I am happy as can be.... :) (now that my climbing days are over....and the rocks don't need to be dry ;) )

Hmmm, my face is broken out right now ... the sauna seems to be drawing out the toxins as it's getting worse. Maybe I should go see a dermatologist now so I can get some!!

I'm actually usually mistaken for younger, but not 30! There was a guy at King's Island guessing ages and weights. My 16 year old son wanted a prize, so paid the guy to guess my age! :lol::lol: He was wrong! He was a kid, I was there with my teenager, and he guessed 36. Not bad.

Kids "washed" the cars (kinda) with a little loupha (how do you spell that?) and a finger nail brush. :ph34r: Mitch is not a very happy camper right now. :o I told him that they were just trying to help and to be thankful....I haven't seen the cars yet, but I don't think those would have scratched the paint. :blink: I hope not.

Andrea.....oh dear...... :o

Carla....remember, I don't have any kids - I've ALWAYS gotten more sleep than you have ;):lol: Maybe that's why they guess 30.....

Yea, but I think some of your old boyfriends may have been worse than kids. ;):P:lol: I'm catching up on sleep now, I am allowed to do that still!

Sorry to jump in as I am 24 years OVER 40. But, I believe I am 40 LOL. The stuff you used Susan, was it OTC? And does it get rid of wrinkles. When I got so sick 3 years ago, I went from 3 little wrinkles around each eye, to many. And I now have lots of wrinkles around the mouth. I suppose it is from the huge weight loss. But, I would certainly like then reduced. So Susan, does that stuff work for wrinkles.

You may have spelled fourty but when I read fourty something women, I thought there were forty women who wanted to talk about something. :lol::lol::lol:

haha, ok, I'm not forty, but 25, but this random thread (spelled correctly) was too hysterical to pass up. This is why women are great-random conversations that a man doesn't want to follow, but we think is completely logical.

Ok, so what do 40 year old women talk about? (haha, I'm sorry, I couldn't resist).

And, Floridian, I hope I look as good as you when I hit 40!

      I'm not delaying my recovery- I was well on my way to recovering, IF I do have celiac disease by listening to my body and not eating the foods that made me feel ill. the drug I just stopped taking was making me incredibly ill and it's unfortunate and more than  a little frustrating that the dr

      Click on the image to make it larger.  Maybe doesn't work on phone browser,  That was from 2021. Absolutely, they should be tested, The point is you have symptoms that the doctors don't understand and malabsorption may be the cause.   Not trying to.  But much of your rant includes refeferences that may indicate multiple nutritional deficiencies.     Some countries also have tax incentives and financial aid for Celiacs.   Celiac disease is recognized as a disability under the ADA because it substantially limits major life activities like eating and digestive function. Protections require reasonable accommodations in public accommodations, including schools (504 plans), colleges, and hospitals. These often include providing safe, gluten-free food, though they do not force restaurants to provide it.  As far as your recovery, eat gluten free.  Get healthier now and worry about diagnosis later.  Many here on the forum have gone ten or more years looking for a diagnosis, with many doctors and many misdiagnosis along the way. It really doesn't matter why, but you cannot eat  gluten.  That is what is important.  With gluten out of the way, maybe the doctors can make sense of your remaining symptoms.  If you need the ADA, then a medical diagnosis is the way to go.  Meantime you are delaying your recovery from whichever celiac disease or NCGS and the inevitable step one of Gluten Free Diet. tWe come to share experiences and maybe it will help someone. In reality, I don't care.  By the way I have stopped 6 medications Against Medical Advice because they did not do their job and the side effects were crippling. This is a lifelong fight for your life.  Pick you battles carefully.  Assume the worst, celiac disease, and deal with it.  Denial is not just a river in Egypt. Pleased to meet you, too.
