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?

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.

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!

My eye is hurting and sensitive. Pain has been a 10/10+ daily. Taking Motrin and Tylenol around the clock. I AM MISERABLE. The pain is unrelenting. I just want to cry.   But Developing shingles has me a bit concerned about my immune system which also has me wondering about celiac and if there’s a connection to celiac / gluten and shingles; particularly since I haven't been 💯 gluten free because of all the confusing test results and doctors advice etc., is there a connection here? I’ve never had shingles and the gluten/ celiac  roller coaster has been ongoing for a while but I’ve had gluten off and on the last year bc of all the confusion

      My only proof

      You're right, doctors usually only test Vitamin D and B12.  Both are really important, but they're not good indicators of deficiencies in the other B vitamins.  Our bodies are able to store Vitamin B12 and Vitamin D in the liver for up to a year or longer.  The other B vitamins can only be stored for much shorter periods of time.  Pyridoxine B 6 can be stored for several months, but the others only a month or two at the longest.  Thiamine stores can be depleted in as little as three days.  There's no correlation between B12 levels and the other B vitamins' levels.  Blood tests can't measure the amount of vitamins stored inside cells where they are used.  There's disagreement as to what optimal vitamin levels are.  The Recommended Daily Allowance is based on the minimum daily amount needed to prevent disease set back in the forties when people ate a totally different diet and gruesome experiments were done on people.  Folate  requirements had to be updated in the nineties after spina bifida increased and synthetic folic acid was mandated to be added to grain products.  Vitamin D requirements have been updated only in the past few years.   Doctors aren't required to take as many hours of nutritional education as in the past.  They're educated in learning institutions funded by pharmaceutical corporations.  Natural substances like vitamins can't be patented, so there's more money to be made prescribing pharmaceuticals than vitamins.   Also, look into the Autoimmune Protocol Diet, developed by Dr. Sarah Ballantyne, a Celiac herself.  Her book The Paleo Approach has been most helpful to me.  You're very welcome.  I'm glad I can help you around some stumbling blocks while on this journey.    Keep me posted on your progress!  Best wishes!
