I sent a note to the site Admin about the not secure/fraud missing certificate warning we got. Now, I can get in AOK on my iPhone with no problem...so ?!?

Hi everyone- I am also getting the warning that the site isn't secure. I can't even find a workaround on Safari or my iPhone to login in. I got in using Firefox and didn't get the warning. An overprotective Apple thing?!? Anyway, having a "bald" day, my hair feels super fine and wispy. Had a bout of insomnia and hot/cold flashes so it's all just a pain in the butt.

I am getting the message that this place isn't secure also, but also here anyway- Is there a way to report this? 

Halfbakedwho, I am so very sorry that you have discovered more loss- especially in the midst of living & working in different places & now having to find a different doctor, you have enough to go through.

I am also getting the message that the site isn't secure. Obviously, I proceeded anyway.

Halfbakedwho-I know what it's like to commute for work/school, and it is exhausting. Last semester I was driving about an hour and ten minutes each way, and it really takes a big chunk out of your day. I know after I'm done, all I want to do is get home and chill out, and it's a bummer to have time shaved off of your "me time." Plus you have to get up earlier. It's no fun. Hopefully, you're able to build up a client-base soon.

Hi, are you getting a message that the site isn’t « secure »? I was upset - I am here anyway...

Today I discovered I’m losing hair at the nape of my neck. My scalp has been sensitive there for a while, and my hair seemed thinner. And so I looked, and yes, there are patches. It’s hard for me to get to see my specialist doctor who’s available only one Thursday a month in Paris, so it looks like I’m going to see someone else. I know that my regular specialist wanted me to get a biopsy. I know that another specialist will probably not change my treatment. 

I am of course feeling a bit down, but it has more to do right now with my work situation - working in another town (where I don’t live) is exhausting. I am trying to build my practice here in my new town but it will take time. 

Hope you guys are still around.

Halfbakedwho, castor oil is great- apparently it is a handy thing to have around the house as it is good for treating all sorts of things which I found out thanks  to google :-)  I'm happy for you that you got botox, it is a great little pick me up for sure, it is nice to look refreshed when you see yourself in the mirror, I know it's time for me to get it done when all I hear is " you look tired" over and over again!

Hey again.

I just got my botox done Friday. I love this crap too. I also love the fillers but they are insane expensive. I am probably going to break down and do it again but not right away. At least they last about 2 years. Am glad I'm not the only one ; ). And I have to start using the castor oil - I have some... but there's no Ponds' here.

I've not seen any new growth since using the castor oil :-( but, it feels great on my skin and especially my super itchy forearms- so growth or no growth I will continue to use it and I thank you illustrated8r for turning me on to castor oil! Oh and thanks to you I often use ponds cold cream to clean my face, I feel all plumped up afterwords ;-D  

Halfbakedwho,  I use botox, I usually get it done about once a year and I last got it done last April, luckily it lasts about 8 months for me- I want to get it done again, but apparently you should wait after getting brows microbladed for a couple of months and I just had my 3rd followup after my very first appointment so I will probably end up getting botox again in April/May.  I love the results, it is bad enough having thinning hair I don't want to look tired or angry all the time on top of it!  Often times doctors have a special for first time clients, so it may be less expensive and look for good reviews etc... I was only unhappy with my botox results once and that was, ironically, from a very well renowned plastic surgeon :-/  

I have gotten fillers, but that was, wow, now that I am thinking about it, almost 10 years ago!  Fillers are pricey and I toss it around now and again, but I can't justify the money for fillers, I can for botox though!  I also had a bad reaction the first time with fillers as I had a breakout of cold sores inside my mouth from having fillers around my chin/jaw and it made my chin bruise and basically turn purple, it was horrendous looking- I got a prescription for valtrax which cleared it all up and apparently if/when I ever get fillers again I need to have a course of valtrax beforehand to avoid having it occur again- so that is my story and cautionary filler tale, if you have every had cold sores or chickenpox tell the doctor beforehand ;-)

Hmm. I thought retin-a stimulated collagen production and actually thickened the skin. But, I did read that it can also trigger rosacea and be pretty harsh, which concerns me. I, too, stopped using sunscreen in recent months. I don't like not using it, but I also don't want to keep it up if it is playing a role. Bah. It seems like most things related to this are just a roll of the dice.

OK Admissions time. Who here (if any of you) gets fillers or Botox? With my hair going, I feel like my face has to be its best. However I really don’t like the idea, and it’s cray-cray expensive. Thoughts? 

Oh and yes the week was hard b/c of cancellations, lack of sleep, time, etc. But it’s Sunday now, and Sunday is a Very Good Thing.
