Guest guest Posted December 29, 2007 Report Share Posted December 29, 2007 Ive just been diagnosed after 18months of " madness " and I am soooo happy to be here. I have little kids and for the first time I DONT have to say " we dont know what's wrong " now I have a name. I drew up a pain chart of smily faces for my fridge so that when they get up in the morning I can put a dot on the smiley that best predicts the day so that they know if its a 3 mum will need some help with chores, if its a 1 which it never is we can have a party, and if its a 5 I need to go to the hospital for IV drugs, that way they don;t have to worry each day about how I am it just becomes part of the routine of the day. I intend to keep my life as stable as possible but in the last six months I have lost my job, quit my studies and live on a fraction of the money I used too, I realised early on that no one is gonna save me I just have to adjust my life to get on with living. " Faith makes things possible not easy " I am just sooo happy to be here. Bonnie Re: Make up Don't forget that there are also natl suicide hotlines open 24/7.

While it is wonderful to share our experiences with everyone on the list as to what treatments do and don't work for us, pls always check with your dr. Some treatments are dangerous when given along with other meds as well as to certain health conditions or just dangerous in general. 2. If you are in a difficult situation (doesn't matter what it is) pls don't be afraid to ask for help. It is the first step to trying to make that situation better. 3. To unsubscribe the e-mail is: Fibromyalgia_Support_Group-unsubscribe 4. Also, it is not uncommon for more than one member to be feeling bad at the same time when it comes to flares and b/c of that potentially take something another member says the wrong way. And that includes the things that one member may find funny (even if it's laughing at fibro itself) even though we who deal with illness whether one such as fibro or multiple illnesses try to keep a sense of humor. 5. Pls let's be gentle with each other, and if you are having a bad day pls let us know so that we can do our best to offer our support. Have a nice day everyone.

Guest guest Posted January 10, 2008 Report Share Posted January 10, 2008 Melody, let me know how the Prosacea works out. My rosacea is mild and does not need medication per my rhumy doc - but my poor sister has it bad and has to use medication. She just found out about hers in Dec. Her and I are so much alike it is scary - especially in our medical histories. Very simular. Christi Randall www.singingwomenoftexas.com Re: Make up I also have rosacea. I saw a thread on here recently for the stuff called Prosacea, and I found some at CVS pharmacy. I've only been using it three days, so I can't really tell if it works or not. I'm considering trying out some mineral make up. The Avon kind seems to enhance fine lines and wrinkles, so maybe that high dollar stuff. Christi Randall wrote: > That is a good suggestion on the make up. I had never thought of that. I also have roseaca so I not only look pale, I also have a " rash " look to my face. UGH! I am constantly buying concelers in an attempt to find one that will help even out my skin tone so I can wear make up. But it is getting expensive trying to find one. With this roseaca I have really uneven skin tone so makes it real hard to do makeup.

Guest guest Posted January 11, 2008 Report Share Posted January 11, 2008 Mine usually flares up during the winter or if the air is dry. But also if I have a glass of wine. My sister also has it but hers just look like a little flush. Mine is a little more reddish, splotchy, and on the dry winter days I can sometimes get those little bumps. I hate it! I'll let you know how it works. Melody Christi Randall wrote: > Melody, let me know how the Prosacea works out.

Guest guest Posted January 11, 2008 Report Share Posted January 11, 2008 Cover girl makes a wonderful tinted moisturizer! I love the stuff, it also leaves your skin with a kind of sheen look. I sell Avon but they don't make a tinted moisturizer, or the one they did was entirely too dark for my pale skin. ddean228 wrote: > And while I can't remember who makes it offhand, there is one company > that makes a tinted moisterizer with SPF25 (or 30?) in it so you get > the moisture that I seem to be losing, a little bit of color and a > lot of protection from the sun at the same time.

Guest guest Posted January 11, 2008 Report Share Posted January 11, 2008 The doc said mine was a mild case also. I have red/brown blotchiness on my face with raised bumps. When ever I am out in the sun mine gets a lot worse. But for the last year I have not felt like going out (I don't tolerate the heat due to my hypothyrodism) so it has faded somewhat. But I also get the dryness - do you have dryness with yours? Christi Randall www.singingwomenoftexas.com Re: Make up > > I also have rosacea.

Guest guest Posted January 11, 2008 Report Share Posted January 11, 2008 My whole face is combination skin. I have the typical t-zone oily skin, but the cheeks and jaw line get dry and rough.

Guest guest Posted January 11, 2008 Report Share Posted January 11, 2008 CG Smoothers Tinted Moisturizer. I think it's less than $6. I like it better than most I've tried. I have it on today and I don't look so tired. Christi Randall wrote: > Do you know what the name of this one is? I have looked for these before but I am guessing I did not look hard enough. LOL..

Guest guest Posted January 11, 2008 Report Share Posted January 11, 2008 For the cea, I use a green concealer makeup stick that I got at the CVS drugstore. I use it with a small brush and then blend it with a fingertip. After that, I just dust on some powder with a big brush and put on the sheer lip color and I am good to go.

Guest guest Posted January 12, 2008 Report Share Posted January 12, 2008 I read somewhere that there was a tinted moisturizer at the drug store. I can't remember the brand name. Was it Cover Girl or some other brand? Marti Ruthie Dyer wrote: For the cea, I use a green concealer makeup stick that I got at the CVS drugstore.

Guest guest Posted February 5, 2008 Report Share Posted February 5, 2008 Hi Darlene, Sry, so far behind on answering posts but yes it is Kay that makes the tinted moisturizer. I know this because I am a Kay Consultant! I am so glad word is getting around on our great products. I am not on this website in any way to make money however if I can help anyone out with products please just email me privately. I am a little unsure about the rules of giving out websites for profits however I know how many times I have been able to help woman look better and feel better about themselves. I am so happy that a alot of you thought the bronzer/lipgloss was a great idea. I am right up there with you guys and the fibro. the drugs, the pain and tryng to keep up with a regular job. Of course one of the reasons I have home based business to build so I can quit nursing and trying to care for others when I can barely care for myself. I did have some great news today though, I got a new job as RN that I can work from home doing research on puter 20 hours a week with a pretty decent pay. I will probably then quit my home nursing job as soon as I know I can handle this job. They are going to train me,Will be doing research for lawyers that clients got all kinds of illnesses in 911. I bet I will come across more than one fibro. case. We shall see. I hope it gives me more time for my buisiness and still have a steady income. I feel so bad for all of you out there trying to get disability and can't work, I suppose that is basically some of what I will be doing is to help people get compensation and or disability payments. I am so excited. I have been listening to the Secret alot and have tried to have a more positive attitude and think about the things I want/need for myself and family and it looks like th Universe is actually responding, If you all havent read or listened to the Secret it is awesome. I know there is a movie but dont know if on video or has even been in movie theatre,I think I will research that, Well things are alot quieter today here than last nite, Hubby out of town, girls at school work. Girls 21 and 23 were fighting like cats and dogs yesterday. I had to put them in there place and make them realize how good they have it. Roof over head cars school phone insurance, everything paid for by parents. They were told didnt like it here they could move and take care of themselves.LOL, like that is going to happen anytime soon. My fingers are hurting bad. I need to get off puter for awhile. Hope you are all having a pain free day!!!
