    cervical biopsy

    Thanks for all the responses and encouragement. I actually got my results back a couple of weeks ago and it just showed inflammation. I think it's from being on the pill for so long. The dr and I talked about what to do to get rid of it and she suggested an estrogen cream to toughen up the area...

    cervical biopsy

    Ok well it's over. Other than some cramping, and the feelings that everything in the room was being placed into my vagina, it was easy :eek: The thing is, I"ve never had an abnormal pap. When she looked under the microscpe, she said it didn't look like cancer or HPV but that she would test...

    cervical biopsy

    So I've never missed a pap since 19 (almost 40). Never had anything come back as abnormal. My most recent was in October where I bled significantly just from the test. I think it even took the dr by surprise. Anyway, they had to redo the test and he was much more careful inserting the...

    Safe Tan

    By blinding people I mean that I feel like if my skin is too pale, it's so white it's blinding.

    Safe Tan

    I don't feel like it HAS to be darker. I DO feel like everything looks better when the skin is more tan than white. That being said, I'm NOT talking about baking in the sun or tanning bed. I just simply want some color so when I go outside I don't blind everyone. That's why I'm on the hunt for a...

    Safe Tan

    My problem with lotions usually is that they tend to get an orange tint. It seems like I did find a couple that i had to order but they gave me a rash. Plus, you're still putting all those chemicals on your skin. Safe tan is supposed to be just that: SAFE. At any rate, it's on order so I...

    Insanity plus STS?

    I just got Cathe's new DVD's today and was wondering if anyone has created a rotation using the STS total body workout and Insanity? I really like Insanity and was getting some good results (mainly abs) but felt weird not doing any weight training. I finished the first month and then my...

    Insanity. WOW!

    I like it though and Shaun's energy is awesome. That's what helps me alot when I just want to fall out. I did better with the warm up today and I finished week 1. I'm doing it a little off schedule because sometimes I have to take 2 days of rest because of work; so as today would've been a rest...

    I don't understand this thyroid thing

    I was using an endo in NYC but he didn't test the T3 or T4 and only prescribed Synthroid so I found a GP in my area that comes highly recommended. Will see him tomorrow. Anyway, I know Hashimoto's is an autoimmune disease which cause hypothyroidism, but what else does? I'm having a hard time...

    Synthroid

    Have you ever been on anything else that didn't start shedding?

    Synthroid

    Well the first thing listed is that hair loss may occur during the first few months. Did anyone who was NOT already evperiencing and increase in shedding have this happen? That SUCKS! I can't lose much more. Also, I'm on 50mcg. Is that a lot? I'm FREAKED!
