Re: From Jen - stories, tantrums, body odor....Response for Jen

[Guest guest]

,

I want to let you know about something Lindsey can wash her face with and then

apply a cream that will help those pimples be gone in a day or so. The stuff is

called ProActiv. It really works. You can go to www.proactiv.com to order the

stuff. There is a 3-step process. Cleanse, hydrate, and cream. I had acne at

Lindsey's age and wish I would have found this stuff then. I still have an acne

problem and use ProActiv everyday. I went to several dermatologist and even

went on Accutane (do not recommend that at all) and nothing they suggested

worked. My mom came across a ProActiv infomercial and ordered it, that was

twelve years ago and I still use it today.

I hope this is some good info for you.

Guys - I am just giggling at your stories. We used to call

" Jekyll and Hyde. " When it continued past age 4, we quickly

found out that a major contributing factor was her blood sugar

levels. Once we stablized those, it got MUCH better. I pray for

all of you!

Today, we had a BIG revelation. 's last blood work clearly

showed she is in full adrenarche (DHEA levels of more than 320,

normal 60-70 prior years). She has had scattered pimples on her

forehead. Today she came home from school hot and sweaty - I helped

her change and BAM -- massive body odor, almost bowled me over! I

told her it was deodorant time, and you have never seen a little

girl SOO excited. Here I am thinking, 9 years old, bone thin, and

body odor, and she is so excited about it. Incredible!

I have learned from Dr. H that the Arimidex that she is on won't

STOP adrenarche, so the body odor and pimples keep going. It just

specifically halts the conversion of the adrogens into estrogen, and

hopefully will then halt her rapid progression of her bone age.

Meanwhile, I just wish the pimples and body odor would go away. She

is only 9 and in 3rd grade!!!
