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

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

Anne, I'm sorry you continue to have thyroid issues, beyond the norm. If you have not used the Latisse in several months, have you seen any loss of lashes? How far gone were yours when you began? Mine were about 75% missing, about 8 to 10 short, thin, nearly colorless lashes. I am thrilled that they are now naturally dark and curled [like my hair, what's left of it]. What style are you now wearing your hair that disguises the loss? I've recently cut mine very short, which works fine at home and most errands. But I never go to church, out to dinner, etc. without one of my wigs.
Anne I miss you too in a virtual way I guess! :-) I like those applicators you linked to rather than the Latisse brushes. I haven't been using Latisse for several months, was last fall after panicking thinking my lashes were thinning and falling out. I just get tired of the maintenance! I'm a low maintenance gal (or just lazy I suppose) and have a hard enough time washing my face at night let alone all the creams and applications I've tried the past few years. I just had to change my thyroid meds and was very hypo for about 6 weeks...it was awful and I also noticed more shedding. I'm back to normal thyroid wise now and am hoping my hairloss will slow down. I can still disguise it for now but not sure how much longer.
Anne Louise, I'm so glad you're still on here. Strange to miss someone you've never met, but I HAVE missed you! My vial did not come with a brush or any means of dispensing, other than squeeze, as it was designed for glaucoma drops IN the eye. So I finally found a sort of micro Q-tip which has worked well. I don't even really squeeze the vial, just turn it over and let a tiny drop out onto the tiny swab -- more than enough to 'paint' along the lash line, just like an eyeliner. And it has also left a nicely faint eyeliner/eye shadow effect as a bonus. But the goal and happy result is finally having eyelashes again. Thanks for your response. I'm glad I can cut back to 2 or 3 a week, so I can afford to continue.
