Re: when to stop supplements

Thanks. I have ME and IBS so I've had a very hard time and now vaginal dryness too. I think I might just try a one a day of my phytoestrogen then as I probably wouldn't manage enough from my diet. I find the answers to other questions very helpful too.

when to stop supplements

Hi, I had terrible hot flushes- nights were sleepless until I tried Vogel's sage which helped a lot for nights. During the day I took FX Menopause which was life changing for me! I still have flushes but nothing as bad as it was and am off the sage. However, is it best to come off the phytoestrogens...

Re: scar creams

Thanks, very useful, though didn't know that tanning could make the scare stay permanently darker- probabbly too late for me but good to know this. Thanks.

Re: mucosal damage

That may be possible. We have a craniofacial trauma reconstruction clinic at the Royal London every first Thursday of the month which your GP could refer into - the lead for this is Professor Simon Holmes Thank you very much. I guess this would have to be private as considered cosmetic? my GP does ...

scar creams

Hi, I came across a scar cream by (not sure if allowed here to name brands but a well known one B**ts) scar reduction cream. It seems to be a silicone type of material and I think it has been effective on red marks left from oven burns and a bad tear in my calf from a thorn. How long would using suc...

non staining but effective SPF cream

Hi, It sounds like a laundry question but bear with me. In my attempts to care for my kids in the sun, I have used SPF 50 from a well known brand (not sure if allowed to say names) beginning with N anyway. Do you know of one that is effective but doesn't leave yellow stains on clothing? I researched...

Thread veins

Hi. I feel a slight fraud here because I haven't got full blown rosacea. I am hoping you can tell me what to do with thread veins though. I used to use Fade Out green cream but they stopped making it. It didn't just mask them, it reduced them. It had vitamin K in it. I searched around and bought a v...

IPL

My GP had an IPL (intense pulsed light) machine but he wasn't making enough money on it so after a while, he sold it. He said he had looked into it and it was the only thing that was clinically prove-able. was he right?

internal /external skin nutrition

Hi. I have long standing ME, a history of severe IBS and am now menopausal and having a rough time of this. My diet though not unhealthy, is limited due to the digestion issues and my excercise levels are low due to the ME and fatigue. So, taking supplements may be a waste of money (it may be anyway...
