What is she putting you on the Pill for? Docs like it because it makes you "regular" but it doesn't .... it just makes you stop ovulating (most months). I wouldn't do it ... no way.

Susan,

Sorry about the hair :angry:

Carla, plug your ears. OK, tomorrow morning I'm gettting my hair *trimmed*. I was not satisfied with the last cut I got several weeks ago and don't want to continue growing it out until the shape is right. It's somehow fuller on one side, and I swear, longer. it's driving me nuts!

What is it with us and our collective hair???

Celia,

I love Grey's too! I think it's been really good so far. Will be watching tonight...

There's nothing wrong with a trim! You can't grow out unhealthy hair!! My stylist gave me a good trim last time because the layers needed adjusting ... you know how they're just wrong as the get longer? So, she said she cut an inch, but it looks like more to me ... :( But it looks so much healthier.

I'm also going to a different salon--one that I've heard very good things about. I just think it's time for a change. I'm actually kind of excited! I don't know if it's the cut, or it's just growing "funny". Either way, I only want the bare minimum taken off! B)

Susan,

It's always hard to live with haircuts we don't like.....but it will grow out.

I second Carla.....what's with the Pill? How is that supposed to help? Have you been irregular? Soy can make you irregular....don't know if you eat it though.

Vincent,

How bout take a couple inches off......maybe even 6. :o

Is our forty something women turning into a forty something women and men?

Vincent--Since you *asked*...I looked at your picture again, and did a search for the hairstyle that I thought would look good on you. I found this--

I think it would look really good--don't hit me :ph34r:

Vincent, since you like long hair, why not just cut off about 6 inches like Andrea said, then start growing the front a little longer, over the ears, but you can brush it back, then eventually get it cut in a long, non-mullet, something like Steve's but it will look different on you because of the texture of your hair.

Run it by your wife though ...

Susan, I agree, do NOT go on the pill, it will not help, seriously. It will only mess you up more.

Vincent, I think you would look awsome with that suggested style. Go for REALLY different, no half-hearted decisions allowed if you decide to come here!

The Pill is bad news. There are three ways it works as far as for contraception 1. Prevents ovulation 2. Makes cervical mucus too thick for sperm to migrate 3. Prevents implantation of a fertilized egg

So, it messes up your hormones, but you will bleed every 28 days like clockwork. The thing is, that's just a mental thing for you, you actually could just keep taking it and only have a period say, every six months. It does not regulate your normal cycle. The only reason it may help with PMS is because you aren't actually cycling.

Your are better off supplementing to support your cycle. There are things you can do nutritionally to help with PMS. Many times it's a luteal phase deficiency ... but this is too much for a message board ... I did a search on PMS luteal phase, and got this website, I did not look around much, but it looks pretty good. www.cyclediet.com.

I know a female ob/gyn, and she loves having her patients all on the Pill. I never understood that. It helps with one type of cancer, but causes breast cancer ... :blink:

OKya I have a cofession about my hair... Im not happy with it..

See when I lived in Vegas I had an awsome stylist (not cheap! ) and she did a great job on both my and my wifes hair.... then we moved to Nashville and after living here 6 years still cant find anyone that does a decnet job... so my hair in the back is a mess. Its like 15 layers. Some of it is like 6 inchs long, and some goes 1/2 way down my back. I think every hair stylisit I have been to cut a dif part or somthing.

SO I realy dunno what to do about it. I was thinking trimming the back back some and trying to gow the top out till its all one lenght ... then I would have someplace to work from.

Vincent, I see you, you're back just in time for some real girl talk!!! :lol::lol:

Periods, flows, the pill, tampons, what ever... I do not have much personal experence odviously, but they dont embrass/scare me :P

Besides... scroll back... I already posted a ouples times :P

      Draft gluten-free ciders… can they be trusted ?

      By Rogol72 · Posted

      A friend of mine is in the bar trade most of his life and has never heard of lines being mixed for different type of beers and ciders. Better to stick with cans.

      By Rejoicephd · Posted

      Thanks very much for confirming my suspicion @Scott Adams! That helps a lot because I'm really trying to track down and get rid of these sources of cross-contact and so I'm going to just rule out the draft ciders and hope that helps. Also @Rogol72 its nice to hear you haven't had a problem on that side of the pond - draft cider lines being used for cider only certainly sounds like the right way to do it, but I think that must not always be practiced over here!

      Gluten challenge and Hashimoto's Thyroiditis

      By Zuma888 · Posted

      I didn't ask a doctor about this actually. I did ask several doctors a long time ago and they told me gluten has nothing to do with hashimoto's. One of them told me to do a gluten challenge to test for celiac, but at the time I was in graduate school so couldn't afford to be even more ill than I was. If you have the symptoms, I really don't advise you to do a gluten challenge. It messed me up mentally and physically for months. At the same time, I benefitted from doing the challenge in the sense that it convinced me that all my symptoms were truly from gluten - even stuff like insomnia! So now I am terrified to eat gluten, whereas before I would have a little once in a while and not notice anything dramatic.

      By Winnie-Ther-Pooh · Posted

      I am in a similar situation where I can't feasibly do a gluten challenge but have all the symptoms and I have 2 celiac genes. I'm curious if your doctor advised you to eat as if you had a diagnosis or if they were more dismissive about it.

      Negative, although I had most of the symptoms of celiac disease. I now eat as if I had a diagnosis.
