I saw nothing wrong in her post.. as a wonderful tip when having a Migraine.. its already toooo bad when you have one...

Why do you keep removing her posts, Princess? She did nothing wrong with writing them? :-)

We have all the right to write here, right?! Thank you :-)

no not at all Linda but this board is for legit remedies and tips.

I have to agree with both remedies....having dealt with them myself...at times I have said the exact same thing Cole mentioned LOL

And a gentle hug and loving words go a long way for whatever ailes you when you have someone who cares and loves you :)

.....backing waaaaaaay off would be a good idea...leave me in a cold, dark room....and don't touch me....demoral doesn't hurt, either.

A hug and a few loving words from someone who cares

...if you just can't get it white enough for your taste...use an old toothbrush and scrub with a white toothpaste.

LOL That was a close one.

OMG.... trust me!!!!! mouth engages before brain! ha ha ha ha

LOL Chattytea if any of the guys read that post there going to tease you.

*rushes out to buy vaseline!!!


***** E D I T ******

for my eyelashes!!!!!

I've been using the Vaseline on my eyelashes and wow they feel softer and aren't breaking.

its good that you try them out and let us know... Thank you

LOL..........I got a book and i've tried some of these that i post.

so many awesome tips!!! THANK YOU Foxy Lady. :)

Put hot pepper in your socks.

Linda what the vaseline does is, it keeps them from breaking off.Also a great wart remover it smothers them.

Hi I knew about it for makeup remover, I've done that. Never heard of it making your lashes longer though. I'm starting tonight. I'll let you know.
I also use vaseline for my lips at night if they get chapped.

Hi Linda,
This does work,i use the vaseline on my lashes.Just a dab will do it,also good for removing eye make up.

Got to try this one.

Ever wonder why your eyelashes don't get longer?
They break off due to know oil glands.Try putting Vaseline or olive oil on them every night you'll be amazed in a few weeks.Don't use Mineral Oil.

great advice Foxy Lady THANK YOU :)

Got a zit put a dab of Vicks on it takes the redness out.

The doctor re-assured my ex that she could not contract it again but he may have been mistaken. You eye wtnesses are tough to crack. :)

You can have shingles more than once....Ive had it twice!!!
Once youve had chickenpox the virus lays dorment in the base of your spine & a variety of factors can flare it up, i.e stress or being in contact with someone with chickenpox...and then you have shingles! It can be very painful & it is particularly dangerous if you get it near your eyes! Also once youve had medication for it once, theres nothing that can be taken for repeated attacks

Shingles is also a form of Chicken Pox.

The usual medical treatment for Shingles is Elavil and Vicodin. The pain lasts longer than the rash and, depending on the persons age, can take up to 8 weeks to end. Once it passes you can never catch it again. Medical advice courtesy of my first wife...sue her. LOL.

Hiya, thanks for all your advice on treatments for my mum. Since I last wrote she has came out in Shingles and has been in alot of pain, the rash however has cleared - I wonder if that had anything to do with it. She is on painkillers and a course of antibiotics which need to be taken within 72 hours of the shingles coming out, I am hoping once this all clears up then she may be back to her usual happy self:))

EXCELLENT IDEA!!! THANKS :)

Happy Easter to all!

Have a great day.

Buy a bag of assorted sponges and wet them down.
Put them in a zip lock bag and freeze them,works great for those little boo boos.

Has your Mum started using any new products? ie miosturiser, soap, washing powder etc or has she been eating or drinking something different? or been around animals? all these things can also cause rashes & are worth looking into as a process of elimination
If it is eczema dairy products can also play a large part in flaring it up.....so it may be worth while on cutting down on dairy for a while
Hope she gets it sorted out soon

Thank you all so much for the advice for my mum, I have printed these off for her - she has another appointment at the doctors on Thursday so will ask about some of these, others such as aloe vera etc she will try as well. I will keep you updated on how she is, hopefully some of your advice will help her, my dad is getting sick of sleeping in the spare room LOL :)

A cousin of mine read in our local paper that Lestoil is great for itching.Now i never tried it but she did and the itching stopped and her rash is gone.I wouldn't use it on a child.
..................................
Ring Worm ....
Buy a small bottle of iodine and paint all around the area,the iodine does the trick.

Aloe vera is great for itching and rashes too. I have eczema and my son has it so bad, when he was a baby I had to bandage him up because of it. He's not quite as bad now. My nan told me about Aloe vera and it really does help. You can get it as a bar of soap now and shampoo and all kinds :o)

Try Ca-Rezz cream.

You can buy it on-line...or if you can't wait, go to local drug store.

It is my end-all for getting my wierd rash under controll. It sooths within seconds, and with regular use, the rash stays away.

You're very welcome I sure hope it helps. Yock was given a tub of something, I forget the name of it now. It was $60 a tube and did nothing. He's a big fellow and it took a lot. LOL
We didn't go as for as buying new bedding but I did make sure they were changed everyday. Nothing for us seemed to help but the paxil.
The more he itched, the more he worried about it and it got worse.He started swelling real bad. Like big welps all over. He wasn't on paxil long about a month I would say. It worked. I think it was about $70 per presciption. Well worth it. Benedryl is also good for itching but will make you sleepy.

Thanks for that, I have taken a note of that and will give it to her, she has also tried changing everything, even bought a new bed and mattress and a new sofa incase it was dust or something, but to no avail, it is just really wearing her down now and it has cost her a fortune at herbal doctors too. Heres hoping she can get this med and it helps:) Thanks once again.

My honey broke out in a rash really bad that we thought was excema. It looked more like a giant ring worm to me. We tried everything from changing soap to changing washing powder. He went to countless doctors and was given all kinds of medications. Finally he was put on paxil for a while for nerves. It has since cleared. It reoccurs evey now and then but is controlled with cremes like lamisil. It's a very slight rash now and not much itching. She would have to talk with a doctor of course.

Hi I am hoping someone may have a suggestion which may help my mothers healt. About a year ago she came out in a rash, which the doctors said was excema, it is quite an itchy rash and none of the medication she has been given has helped. She is still itching and losing alot of sleep everynight, they have ruled out all other causes and insist it is excema. Does anyone have any suggestions to what she can take to get rid of the itch, the rash wouldn't bother her so much if she wasn;t scratching? Thanks

Yes meds and change in diet (waaaaaa i love food..lol)

Glad to hear they found your problem.hope your on the mend.

oh wow....you can keep it...dont want it LOL J/K

at least we found the root of my pain finally...3 months later sheesh
