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

Hi I don't post on here much so I may well be giving information which you might have been discussing already. Are any of you in the UK going to the Get Ahead of Hairloss event in London at the end of September? It has been organised by Dr Wong who…Continue

I await with interest where this reply will appear :-) Might be an idea to ditch the whole thing and set up a Yahoo group which will work properly with threads, FAQ etc.? We could copy and paste all the useful information people have found. I don't know if it would be worth contacting the webmaster for this site - it really doesn't work as it should.
I do like the discussions because of the REPLY box - someone coming late to this site can then follow a conversation through on one topic. This page would be fine if there was a way of commenting on a specific post, rather than just adding to the list of comments. There is a problem with the discussion pages, though, in that when you get an email with a discussion comment, it seems to take you to the top of the discussion, instead of to the specific comment you are looking for. Even if we do decide to stick to this page only, I do think we should keep all the Meds comments in a discussion, for the sake of those who are unlucky enough to join us in the future.
Hi, Heidi. I agree. I am having trouble following posts since we started making use of the Discussion pages. I would rather just follow along with the "Comments" page.
Has anyone heard from Christine? She was having a big conference this week. I can't wait to find out what she heard.
Hi everyone is it me or is this web site having a few blips! I wrote on the wall 16 hours ago and it hasn't come up, but it has when I click on my own photo. Also it doesn't do all the conversations in order, I go from two days ago to now and then 6hours ago!!
Sandy, if I wear mine I will have to wait for a break like winter vacation otherwise all of the kids will notice and I won't have a minute's peace.
Chris it is my left foot. I actually drove myself to the hospital because I didn't want to wake my husband up - it was 2 in the morning. Right now even with the boot it hurts like crazy. When were you able to put weight on your foot? I can't get around my classroom in a wheelchair. I don't know what to worry about first - going bald or being lame.
Sorry about your foot, Pam. Hope it is not your right foot. I broke my right foot last June and did the boot and had a cute scooter to get around. The kids in the neighborhood were so jealous. I think it was called a Roll-About. The worst was that I couldn't drive. It doesn't take much to break those little bones in the foot. I was wearing cute shoes to my daughter's college graduation and wasn't watching where I was going and stepped into a sizeable crack in the sidewalk. . . and "pop" I felt it go. First bone I ever broke.It doesn't hurt much but does take 8-12 weeks. I'm wearing heels again but had to do flats all winter. Good luck!!
Mari, your hair cut looks like mine now. I think it looks great. We are so critical about ourselves! Sandy, I am so proud of you! How does it look? Do you like it? It is easy to wear isn't it?
Last May I hurt my foot at school stepping down from the school bus while on a field trip with the kids. It felt bruised for a few weeks but started feeling better over the summer. Last night I hit my foot against the cabinet and I guess that's all I needed. Dr. wanted me off of it for 6 weeks. I explained that elementary school teachers can't go on crutches for 6 weeks so he gave me a boot. Hopefully, I will be able to return to work in the next few days.
So sorry, Pam. Will you get some time off work for your broken foot? I hope so. How did you do it?
