Thanks lulu68! I'm looking at them right now and there are quite a few of them. If anyone finds one they particularly like, please post it as I will do the same! Thanks again!

Has anyone used the Derma Wand or something similar that's supposed to help wrinkles and tighten the skin? There are several of these types of items sold and the reviews, of course, are mixed. They certainly would be a less expensive alternative to a dr.'s treatment.

Thanks Cher54 for the info! Hmmm, I'd certainly be interested in knowing if that's true about the retinol creams. Please let us know if you find anything out.

Glad you found something that worked for you! Can you tell me how much the treatment was and was there any down time, redness, reaction, etc. to it? Is it suggested to have several treatments in a certain period of time for optimal results? Thanks for the information!

Thanks for responding. Does the Retin A actually firm up the skin or does it just smooth it out? I'll have to look into Renova as I haven't heard of that as well as Ferulic Acid.

Hi everyone! I've been away from the forums for a bit. You know, stress, life, stress, life and more stress. :( Although I've been working on easing the stress, it has taken its toll on my body. I've taken care of my skin for the vast majority of my life and always looked younger than my...

Thank you ladies for your responses. Sounds like you all have lots of experience with our VERY furry friends! :D But let me ask you something about having her fur shaved down. In no way do I want to shave it down to the skin. I want to have a reasonable amount left but take the bulk out. I...

Hi Pam. I'm so sorry that your cat had such a traumatic experience. I had a Persian chinchilla cat many years ago. Her fur was quite long. My sister took her to the groomer to have her fur thinned out. When I got home and asked how it turned out, everyone had a straight face. I found my cat...

My cat has very thick fur and sheds so much. I'm considering having her fur shaved way down. Since it's summer, this would be the best time to do it. She's constantly cleaning herself and ingests lots of fur. I could easily brush her at least twice a day but she has a low tolerance for being...

Ladies, thank you SO much for your responses. I truly am sorry that each of you had to go through this horrible pain. He did have an MRI which showed the herniated disc. An interesting thing happened today. I asked my chiropractor for a recommendation for a chiropractor near my bf and they...

Thank you. I'm glad the heat helped you. We have to stay somewhere overnight and I'm not sure how he's going to do. I feel for all that have experienced the same thing. It certainly is a **tch! Bam

Hi Nan. Thanks for the suggestion. So sorry that you experienced that pain. His is also in his lower back, L4, L5. I just spoke with him and the pain that was in his voice was heart wrenching. :( I'll let him know about laying forward on the ball. How long did it take for you to heal? Did...

My bf was just diagnosed with a herniated disc. He is in excruciating pain and was prescribed pain meds and physical therapy. Is there anything that anyone has done that has helped their pain or healing? I hate seeing him suffer and believe there must be something additional he can do that...

I want to give an update on the MSM. I've been taking it for 3 weeks to date and worked up to 4000mg/day. It is not the OptiMSM as I was using up a bottle of caps that I had in the drawer. I'm probably noticing about a 15% improvement in all of my aches and pains. I will be receiving the...

I think it's awesome the great results you and your husband got with the collagen! That's so exciting! I didn't receive those same benefits but am willing to try it again. Thanks so much for sharing and I'm so glad that you are working out pain free!
