    LOL! It worked for me! Some people say they do it everyday to prevent new acne, but then some say don't do it everyday because your skin gets used to it, and it doesn't work as well. I usually do masks 2x week.

    Wait, do you know *why* she is getting anemic? Has she been tested for Celiac? I would get it retested, and make sure they include ferritin, iron absorption, hemoglobin, RBC, hemacrit, etc. This is in a blood test. Yes, the test for iron stores (ferritin) is the same...blood test. Her ferritin seems on the low end of normal, BUT like I said, that may...

    Sigh, okay! I think I'll order it today. Good! I have another fun concotion for you to try! It's a mask...take an egg white and some lemon juice and beat it with a hand blender until it forms peaks. Then, apply to your face, after you've "steamed" it, and let it dry completely, then take it off with cool water. It works great! I did it last night...

    Do you guys think I should wait until the new site comes out? What if it's amazing!? I hope they don't add new make-up yet, I'm already spending too much money! LOL!

    I don't think you can really do too much damdage, but I could be wrong. Lol! I also never had one done at the Dr's office, so I could be doing them totally wrong because I have no idea what it's "supposed" to be like. I don't think I had leg pains, I had EXTREME fatigue. Like, I was literally sleeping 20 hours a day. And was still exhausted...

    YAY! I'm glad you liked it! I didn't get to try it last night because I didn't feel well, but I will definitely try it today after the gym! Ok, I have turned into one of "those" who wears make-up to the gym! I always used to see women there all made up and thought they were so stupid! But, with EM I totally get it! I feel so pretty! I can't wait...

    Sure. I wasn't talking about my experience with bipolar, it was about someone I know and I don't think it's fair for their sake to say it so the whole world can see. But I'd love to hear what you had to say.

    I'm going to send you a PM about some of this...I don't want the whole world to see, lol.

    Yea, can you let us know? That would be great! Donna, How often do you give yourself B12 shots? Is it still 1x week? That's interesting you have a bruise, I haven't bruised from them. Julie, Sorry you're feeling dizzy! I hate that. I have been dizzy a lot too lately, but it's kinda the norm for me unfortunately. Mia, Glad...

    Carla, Thanks for the link. I will read it later when I'm not so . Sherry, Do the digestive enzymes help you a lot? Do they relieve nausea induced by eating?
  11. confusedks
    Mia, How did everything go? How are you feeling?

    I think that's not correct anymore. My uncle had to do them and he said it wasn't a big deal. I could be wrong though. It just would be easier than getting another PICC and going in for Iron IV's again.

    I was going to but then the mom emailed me and told me the youngest boy has a fever!!! Not that I'm excited he has a fever, BUT now I don't have to babysit! Yay! Ugh, I understand the sugar/starch thing. It's SO hard! Nothing really motivates me to stay away, lol. And, when I'm nauseous (which is almost all the time, lol), I don't want chicken...

    Yay! You'll have to let me know! I'm very happy for you!! That's funny you thought aloe vera was green. LOL! We used to have an aloe vera plant for sunburns (I live in LA, get burnt ALL THE TIME!!) so I knew it was clear.
  15. confusedks
    Uh oh. I have a dilemma. I told the family I babysit for, that I could babysit tonight. Now I am feeling awful. I'm just exhausted. Ahh, what to do! And, they have a new kitten they want me to see.

    Iron IV's *do* raise your hemoglobin, right away. You may want to ask about them. The reason I went to the hematologist was because I took more oral iron than anyone should take in a lifetime and I still couldn't raise my numbers, plus it KILLED my stomach! Oral iron is very hard to digest/absorb, especially for a healing Celiac, like yourself. I believe...

    Duh, now I remember. Oops, Lyme brain. Ugh, this whole "having a period" thing is really getting to me. I am having a MAJOR Lyme flare! Ugh...so glad I see Dr H on next Saturday. We are going to ask about iron shots...I can administer them to myself. Can't be any harder than B12 shots! Also, I went to the gym today and got sighed up, but I have...

    Let me know what happens. That is very worrisome. My Dr saw my hemoglobin which was at 8 and he totally panicked! They re-tested me and it had gone to 9 in about 7 days so I couldn't get a blood transfusion, unless I really wanted one. But, I ended up finding out I had zero ferritin (iron stores) so I had to go to a hematologist and he gives me iron IV's...
  19. confusedks
    You need to do something about your iron! That is DANGEROUSLY low! I have to get iron IV's because mine gets that low sometimes (long story!) With hemoglobin that low, you may need a blood transfusion! Mine was at 8 and they wanted to send me for one! You really NEED to follow up on this! If you have any questions, you can PM me and I'll help...

    I get their chilli's, etc. all the time with no problem. Make sure that you read the ingredients, because sometimes the beef chilli will have wheat in it, but the turkey won't, or visa versa. If it's really messy around where they are, I won't risk it. I am REALLY sensitive and have never had a problem. Also, if you get there in the morning, you're...

    Uh oh! We're tied 37-37% with pet lovers! Ahhhh! VOTE PEOPLE, VOTE!

    Mango, Have you tried aloe vera gel on your face for scars? I keep reading about it's amazing-ness! You've probably tried, but just a thought. Everyone, I have a basket full of stuff, but I would love to hear your opinions before I order it. Eyeshadows: Pink Pajamas Mystic Night Chamomile Smokey Eyeliner Good China Black...

    Tom, Did you say *why* she wants to do that? I know a lot of people do it with weight loss as a motivation...could that be part of her interest? I have no idea, so correct me if I'm wrong. Because if it is, the weight comes back. I would think at least do a vegetable juice fast, because at least you're getting some nutrients.

    LOL! No, you can't smell the green tea at all. The ACV is much more overpowering. I asked my mom before I left the house if I smelled like ACV. She couldn't smell it, only my perfume! I don't know. My skin tends to get shiny/oily and this made my skin just look really radiant and actually helped get rid of the oily look. What people tend...

    I just wanted to share something. Since my obsession with natural products, without chemicals (like EM, obviously, lol) I decided that I didn't want to use "commercial" facial products. I mean, if they really worked, why the heck are there so many of them? Whatever, I could rant forever! :lol: Soooo, I went on the EM website and there is a thread devoted...
