Guest guest Posted April 28, 2001 Report Share Posted April 28, 2001 Ahhh....vanity. We all look terrible while hypo!!!!! It's not trivial when it is happening to US! Once my face starts to swell and I get that wonderful gray sheen to my skin and my eyes become little slits, I simply stop looking in the mirror. I know I look bad...why bother check the mirror to confirm it???? Sorry but you're doomed to look awful for a week or two before you look like a Barbie doll again. And guess what? It'll be another month after that before you feel great. C'est la vie! At least we all know you are gorgeous underneath your hypo exterior.
