Lasik
Comments (1)Curious why did you have lasik ??? I read about a new eyedrops in Poplar Science magazine. Im a long time subscriber. I had surgery one eye at a time. Years apart. I was so very nearsighted. Now cataracts are making life not so pleasant. Im hoping that the eyedrops will help. I dont want any more surgeries. Unless it can make wrinkles disappear> magically and cheaply. LOL I personally never heard about crystal implants. Isnt it hell getting older and being a senior???? I know...... others say......"'think of the alternative" jean...See MoreGirl talk: Has anyone had uterine ablation surgery?
Comments (22)I had an ablation about 6 years ago. I had previously had surgery to remove a couple of fibroids and that helped considerably, but a year later I was still having bleeding issues and I had the ablation. (my doctor had suggested it at the time of the fibroid removal, but I didn't want to do them both at the same time). My periods didn't stop, but I discovered Light tampons, and only needed about 5 of them a month. I haven't heard of women having hormonal problems after ablation. I certainly didn't have any problems with my procedure, which was done with the balloon method. I had cramping for less than 12 hours, then felt fine. You do need to use birth control, because you can conceive, but there is no where for the embryo to implant without the lining, so a pregnancy could be dangerous. I think that it's important to know why you are having bleeding problems. For example,if you have fibroids like I did, an ablation isn't going to remove the underlying problem....See MoreHas anyone ever painted a crystal chandelier?
Comments (13)I wouldn't paint the connectors unless I tried it with them as is and found it really bothered me. But I also wouldn't paint that fixture, especially if that is truly crystal or it is a higher end fixture and the finish is in good shape. If it is glass, it probably doesn't matter that much, but I think the colors reflected in crystal will be prettier with the metal finish than with white. I also think of white fixtures are a recent thing that will soon seem dated while the metal finish is more classic. I may be wrong, but it seems to me that every time white fixtures come into fashion, they are fairly short lived and I like that fixture enough to want to keep it around....See MoreHas anyone had their amalgams removed?
Comments (18)I've had a couple replaced, not all. Some of my fillings were done 25-30 years ago and they do tend to loosen over time. One ended up needing a root canal. 1 have 8 total fillings, 6 are mercury. The two that were switched out are on my bottom right side and that is actually the side I tend to chew on, so I think that has something to do with it. My upper on that same side is currently failing and I'll have to end up loosing the tooth at some point, just a wait and see. The tooth broke when I bit down on an olive pit so it has a large filling. The concern over mercury isn't new. Way back in the 1840's the Association of Dental Surgeons didn't want it being used since mercury was/is a known toxic substance. Mercury does get released from those fillings and you do absorb that into your body. Even Health Canada states that. How much is safe, I don't know. I haven't really looked into it. Health Canada states that the amount of mercury from these fillings are detectable in the blood but not at levels associated to cause illness. Personally, I do know if I had an illness that were related to symptoms of mercury toxicity I would remove them if I could afford to do so....See Moreagnespuffin
