    Ringworm???

    Well, I can tell you a worse case scenario, which I'm sure you want to hear, lol. I got it a few years ago and tried every OTC antifungal creams/ointment/sprays, and yes I did buy all of them, and even tried my son's Rx ketoconazole cream. In addition, home remedies that you can Google, for me...

    So my beautiful daughter is losing her hair...

    I also don't have any experience with alopecia areata, but I know there's a forum dedicated to women's hair loss. Here's the link to the forums: http://www.heralopecia.com/interact/forum.php? If you scroll about halfway down, you'll see the boards for alopecia areata/totalis/universalis...

    Cat with eye issues

    I can tell you about my cat's experience with feline herpes. To make a very long story short, he was exposed to feline herpes by a stray (he's an indoor/outdoor cat.) We found out about the exposure due to eye issues and infections. For his eyes, he takes 1000mg L-lysine daily that's...

    Anyone have a ganglion cyst?

    I've had two removed from the same place (top of hand at the bend of the wrist.) First surgery didn't really hurt, but it came back. The second surgery was much more thorough. It left me with a slightly numb area on top of my hand and some loss of range of motion in being able to fully flex or...

    Could be thoracic outlet syndrome. "Thoracic outlet syndrome is a group of disorders that occur when the blood vessels or nerves in the space between your collarbone and your first rib (thoracic outlet) become compressed. This can cause pain in your shoulders and neck and numbness in your...

    Can i whine a bit? update post #50

    Oh boy, did your post take me back almost 18 years, when I also had a little girl who seemed determined to split my pubic bone in half, lol! I had my 38 week checkup and told my OBGYN, ok, I'm done now, can we please go ahead and have this baby? Thankfully, my daughter's measurements were...

    Do your pets take medication?

    My cat is an indoor/outdoor cat and he was exposed to feline herpes by some strays that were in our neighborhood. The herpes attacked his eyes, and then his peripheral nervous system. He became unable to walk, jump, etc. He takes two liquid medications twice a day that we have compounded at a...

    Any experience with C. Difficile?

    This is just FYI and TMI - I know some of you are dealing with this, or your family members are. But the most effective treatment for the severe cases (90%+ cure rate) is a fecal transplant. Definite ick factor, but I'd gladly take it if I was suffering and my quality of life was poor. Here's...

    SNL tonight

    I think Samuel L. Jackson cost them an FCC fine during the "What's Up with That" skit, lol. I think I heard two violations; even Kenan commented that those words cost money, lol. :lmao: The opening was lovely. I thoroughly enjoyed the show from beginning to end. And sometimes I can't...

    Hostess is Toast

    I'm very sorry for all the workers that are affected by this. :( I had forgotten that Hostess owned the Merita bread line. I've been eating Merita Old Fashioned white loaf sandwich bread my entire life. I've tried many other breads through the years, and they just don't measure up. So...

    What can you tell me about Accutane?

    It would be hard for me to answer that question. My daughter started several things at the same time - doxycycline, Epiduo on the face, and topical clindamycin. She is also on Retin-A on her back, chest and shoulders. All of those things together worked wonders for her acne. She is no...

    What can you tell me about Accutane?

    You don't mention tretinoin (Retin-A). Has your son used that before? Also, has the derm said anything about skin peels or light therapy? My daughter was going to try those if she didn't have any success with Epiduo and tretinoin (on her back), but so far, so good.

    Dr. Who question

    I read on Mary Tamm's IMDB page (scroll down, and on the right side, look for Related News) that a few hours after her funeral, her husband had a heart attack and died. How awful! :( And I was sooo saddened to hear about Elisabeth Sladen's death. She seemed like such a lovely person. I...

    Ladies- your breast reduction experiences please!

    I would LOVE to have one done!! I'm a DD+ (I'm sure probably larger than that) and I'm also not very tall. It's been really annoying and I'm soooooo over them!! It's like they just keep growing and growing. I don't look freakish or anything - I'm a tough critic and see them everyday, lol...

    Cat peeing outside of litter box, desperate for help

    Jackson Galaxy is so cool and I really enjoy his show! He recommended a finely ground cat litter for a cat that was urinating outside the box. The cat was declawed and the litter was painful to the cat's paws. They switched to the finely ground cat litter and the cat started using the box...

    Ryan Lochte

    Speaking as someone sitting comfortably on my couch, with no competition swim experience whatsoever, it may have been a good idea for Ryan Lochte to swim the first leg and let one of the other guys - probably Michael Phelps - swim the anchor leg. Michael just seems to be able to switch into...
