come on in Patti, silly goose, of course you can come in.....

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

Now give us your beauty tips - besides swimming with dolphins - we don't all have those in our back yards ;)

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)

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.

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!

      Son's legs shaking

      Hi, My 7 year daughter has complained of this in the past, which I thought were part of her glutening symptom, but more recently I have come to figure out it's part of her histamine overload symptom. This one symptom was part of her broader profile, which included irritability, extreme hunger, confusion, post-nasal drip. You might want to look up "histamine...

      Son's legs shaking

      My 5yo was diagnosed with celiac last year by being tested after his sister was diagnosed. We are very strict on the gluten-free diet, but unsure what his reactions are as he was diagnosed without many symptoms other than low ferritin. He had a school party where his teacher made gluten-free gingerbread men. I almost said no because she made it in her...

      Bob red mill gluten free oats

      Not necessarily. The "Gluten Free" label means not more than 20ppm of gluten in the product which is often not enough for super sensitive celiacs. You would need to be looking for "Certified Gluten Free" (GFCO endorsed) which means no more than 10ppm of gluten. Having said that, "Gluten Free" doesn't mean that there will necessarily be more gluten than "Certified...

      Disaccharide deficient, confusing biopsy results, no blood test

      I think it is wise to seek a second opinion from a GI doc and to go on a gluten free diet in the meantime. The GI doc may look at all the evidence, including the biopsy report, and conclude you don't need anything else to reach a dx of celiac disease and so, there would be no need for a gluten challenge. But if the GI doc does want to do more testing, you...

      Hi,  My 7 year daughter has complained of this in the past, which I thought were part of her glutening symptom, but more recently I have come to figure out it's part of her histamine overload symptom. This one symptom was part of her broader profile, which included irritability, extreme hunger, confusion, post-nasal drip. You might want to look up "histamine intolerance". I wish I had known of this at the time of her diagnosis, life would have been much easier.  I hope you are able to figure out.

We are very strict on the gluten-free diet, but unsure what his reactions are as he was diagnosed without many symptoms other than low ferritin.  He had a school party where his teacher made gluten-free gingerbread men. I almost said no because she made it in her kitchen but I thought it would be ok.  Next day and for a few after his behavior is awful. Hitting, rude, disrespectful. Mainly he kept saying his legs were shaking. Is this a gluten exposure symptom that anyone else gets? Also the bad behavior?

The GI doc may look at all the evidence, including the biopsy report, and conclude you don't need anything else to reach a dx of celiac disease and so, there would be no need for a gluten challenge. But if the GI doc does want to do more testing, you can worry about the gluten challenge at that time. But between now and the time of the appointment, if your symptoms improve on a gluten free diet, that is more evidence. Just keep in mind that if a gluten challenge is called for, the bare minimum challenge length is two weeks of the daily consumption of at least 10g of gluten, which is about the amount found in 4-6 slices of wheat bread. But, I would count on giving it four weeks to be sure.
