Guest guest Posted April 4, 2001 Report Share Posted April 4, 2001 I will keep the castor low and probably only 1 oz. of shae, but I don't have to subtract from the hard oil I am already using, right? Just add and recalculate. thanks, Kathy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 1, 2001 Report Share Posted May 1, 2001 What a coinkydink - I found a recipe in my foot tall pile of papers and made it Sunday (I'm reading your recipe on Tuesday because I'm days behind here) and it was exactly like yours. They came out fine. Not too hard, and not too soft. I'll be making that one again!! One batch I used Sandalwood F/O and another batch I used Creme Brulee F/O. Both were great mixes with the cocoa butter scent in the bar. My customer loved the basket I put together for her friend's birthday. Instead of a "basket" though I used a beautiful brass planter I found at WalMart for $3.00, filled it with pale green paper grass, (2) designer soaps, wood soap deck, lotion bar, & bath oil beads in a little muslin baggie. Then I wrapped it in cello with tiny flowers on it tied with ribbon, and also tied a bath scrunchie into the ribbon, and tied a mylar helium filled "birthday balloon" from the handle of the planter. I had tp deliver it to a big medial clinic and hopefully it will be good advertising and put the idea into all the women's heads that work there!!

Guest guest Posted February 24, 2004 Report Share Posted February 24, 2004 , It is really evident that you are seriously struggling with something because this continues to remain outside of reality. Why don't you and I discuss this off-list. Thank you. . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 17, 2006 Report Share Posted March 17, 2006 Hi : I have also found that a glass of wine or even a beer will cause my hand pain to increase, and my hands to swell, so I am done with that stuff. Have never had any trouble with milk or any other foods. Kathe in CA --- " C. Y.

Guest guest Posted March 19, 2006 Report Share Posted March 19, 2006 Hi : Yes, it is Iranian. I'm not Iranian, but my husband is. He has been here since 1979, and is absolutely the best husband and friend I could ever ask for. Yes, Folic Acid is used to offset the side effects of Mtx which often includes mouth sores or ulcerations. If I start having problems such as that, I do up my Folic Acid for a while until the problem goes away. The dose I usually take is 1 mg. and I will go up to about 2 mg. Just works for me.

Guest guest Posted May 30, 2006 Report Share Posted May 30, 2006 our first name was my maiden name anyway are you on an anti depressant? sometimes we dont realize it but they supress out appetite oh goodness send me some....

Guest guest Posted May 30, 2006 Report Share Posted May 30, 2006 Nope, I am not on antidepressant although my GP tells me I should. I have lots of other problems to deal with including an uncooperative chronically ill and clingy husband. Before RA, I never took pills for anything. By now, I feel I am stuffing myself with medications as it is. Besides, when I keep busy, I am great. I believe my loss of appetite has to do with the medication I am on. Food just doesn't taste as good as it used to. Eating is a chore. Thanks for writing. bonnie frank <bubblesnbonbons@...> wrote: our first name was my maiden name anyway are you on an anti depressant? sometimes we dont realize it but they supress out appetite oh goodness send me some....

Guest guest Posted May 30, 2006 Report Share Posted May 30, 2006 Hi : I would advise you to not dismiss treatment by anti-depressants. I feel that I have gotten much benefit from using Effexor XR for the last five years. My mood still goes up and down, but, it sure helped me get through those first few years dealing with RA, and I feel continues to help me now.

Guest guest Posted May 31, 2006 Report Share Posted May 31, 2006 Hi : Well, I have been numb before, and navigating on numb is not something I want to do again. There is so much out there to feel, and if you don't feel sadness or pain or anything else negative, then I think you can never really feel joy, happiness, excitement. Just my opinion, it hurts to feel, I know, but I like the fact that I do feel now. Also, I was not specifically saying that my medication would be your fix, just one of many out there, and just something to think about, food for thought. Believe me, I have been numb and emotionally withdrawn from everything around me before, and I hated it, which was why I went to the chemical side long ago. I finally learned that saying you need help is not being weak, and there is nothing to be embarrased about by admitting it, and I finally did. But everyone finds their own way to get through. I will never put anybody down for how they deal with life, and everything that these wonderful diseases also throw our way, it's tough, and you do what you have to do to survive. I am happy that you have a good support system and know that we are always here to support you - Kathe in CA --- " C. Y. " <cjmy3454@...> wrote: > You are probably right.
