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:

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.

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!

      Oh, okay. The lower case "b" in boots in your first post didn't lead me in the direction of a proper name. I thought maybe it was a specialty apothecary for people with pedal diseases or something.

      50 YO Male Recently Diagnosed with Celiac Disease

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      In the Europe the new protocol for making a celiac disease diagnosis in children is if their tTg-IgA (tissue transglutaminase IgA) levels are 10 times or above the positive level for celiac disease. According to the latest research, if the blood test results are at certain high levels that range between 5-10 times the reference range for a positive celiac disease diagnosis, it may not be necessary to confirm the results using an endoscopy/biopsy: Blood Test Alone Can Diagnose Celiac Disease in Most Children and Adults TGA-IgA at or Above Five Times Normal Limit in Kids Indicates Celiac Disease in Nearly All Cases No More Biopsies to Diagnose Celiac Disease in Children! There are other things that may cause elevated tTg-IgA levels, but in general a reaction to gluten is the culprit:

      Hi @trents Just seen this - Boot's is a chain of pharmacies in the UK, originally founded in the 19th Century by a chap with the surname, Boot.  It's a household name here in the UK and if you say you are going to Boot's everyone knows you are off to the pharmacist! Cristiana

      I am looking to find a Celiac Dietician who is affiliated with the Celiac Disease Foundation who I can set up an appointment with.  Can you possibly give some guidance on this?  Thank you!

      Nacina, Knitty Kitty has given you good advice. But I would say/add find a Fat Soluble B-1 like Benfotiamine for best results.  The kind found in most Multivitamins have a very low absorption rate. This article shows how taking a Fat Soluble B-1 can effectively help absorption by 6x to7x times. https://www.naturalmedicinejournal.com/journal/thiamine-deficiency-and-diabetic-polyneuropathy quoting from the article.... "The group ingesting benfotiamine had maximum plasma thiamine levels that were 6.7 times higher than the group ingesting thiamine mononitrate.32" Also, frequency is much more important than amount when it comes to B-Vitamin. These are best taken with meals because they provide the fat for better absorption. You will know your B-Vitamin is working properly when your urine becomes bright yellow all the time. This may take two or three months to achieve this.......maybe even longer depending on how low he/you are. The Yellow color is from excess Riboflavin bypassing the Kidneys....... Don't stop them until when 2x a day with meals they start producing a bright yellow urine with in 2 or 3 hours after the ingesting the B-Complex...... You will be able to see the color of your urine change as the hours go by and bounce back up after you take them in the evening. When this happens quickly......you are now bypassing all the Riboflavin that is in the supplement. The body won't absorb more than it needs! This can be taken as a "proxy" for your other B-Vitamin levels (if taken a B-Complex) ...... at least at a quick and dirty level......this will only be so for the B-1 Thiamine levels if you are taking the Fat Soluble forms with the Magnesium as Knitty Kitty mentioned. Magnesium is a Co-Factor is a Co-factor for both Thiamine and Vitamin D and your sons levels won't improve unless he also takes Magnesium with his Thiamine and B-Complex. You will notice his energy levels really pick up.  His sleeping will improve and his muscle cramps will get better from the Magnesium! Here is nice blog post that can help you Thiamine and it's many benefits. I hope this is helpful but it is not medical advice God speed on your son's continued journey I used to be him. There is hope! 2 Tim 2:7 “Consider what I say; and the Lord give thee understanding in all things” this included. Posterboy by the grace of God,
