Food Allergy Testing question

Started by NorthCarolinaMama. Last reply by lordiron on Monday. 10 Replies

Hello!I was wondering if anyone has been tested for food allergies to determine if a particular food is causing inflammation, which in turn could exacerbate FFA. I had the skin test a couple of years ago at an allergy clinic, and it came back…Continue

Trying a new approach with CBD oil...

Hello All, I am venturing into new territory. It just dawned on me that a good experiment would be to try a medical grade CBD oil tincture on my hairline and see if it affects the redness. CBD is the nonpsychoactive part of marijuana that is being…Continue

Terry, I also had problems sleeping with the plaquenil for the first couple weeks. I have been taking it for 6 weeks now, and my body has completely adjusted. I'm happy to say that I'm sleeping as well as I was before I started taking it.

Terry, the Rogaine foam needs to stay on your scalp for at least 4 hours. I use the 5% Rogaine foam mornings only. My doctor said the foam only has to be used once a day after the first 6 weeks. I apply it to wet hair on the days I wash my hair and blow dry it as usual. I can't even tell it's there on the first day, but on day two my hair is a little harder to work with because of the foam buildup at the roots. I wash my hair every other day to keep the buildup to a minimum.

Hi Pam. The eyebrows in the photograph are my own. I have the inside bits left, it the outside half thats gone on each one and I colour that in with an eyebrow cil xx

I agree that loads of celebrities use wigs as a matter of course, and we need to think of them as another beauty aid - not feel any stigma or shame about wearing one.
In fact, when my daughters friends come round to our house to get ready for parties/ balls etc they often have hairpieces with them, all types and sizes, as well as their party dresses! These are girls in their twenties, who don`t care at all about everyone knowing they are adding extra hair for glamour!

Carol. I agree totally with you. Women today use all sorts of enhancements for their beauty routines and a wig is just another beauty aid. Plenty of celebrity women; Beyonce, Kelly Rowland, Joan Collins and of course Raquel Welch (who even has her own very good brand of wigs) all wear wigs to help them look stunning. We are in very good company. XXX

Liz, I thought your eyebrows looked good too in your photo. Have you got any tips for eyebrows too?

Comment by Pam on August 11, 2013 at 3:45am

The wig looks so natural, you look great! Thank you for sharing it with the rest of us, it gives me hope! (Did you go for real hair or synthetic - I can`t tell?).

Beautfil Liz. You have chosen well. XXX

I had to rejoin this group in order to comment. Guess my membership fell off somehow. I am still with you all.
