Apply to your earlobes front and back, put in the earrings and don't touch the rest of the day! Really works, even if you have to wear the nickel earrings from time to time.

yam cream is a natural progesterone cream--sm
I believe you can get it in most drug stores, health food stores, and on line. check on line, as you may find a better quality at a cheaper price. It works well.
DH uses Benadryl s/m
He was also on Effexor for quite a while, but lost our insurance and that went with it. If he is going to be in public, he will take a Benadryl, uses it sort of like Xanax. Sorry, but I don't have a child with it or least hope that my two youngest don't develop it like their dad. Good luck.
Benadryl does the trick for me and
also if you have an itch, hey, it takes care of both. I absolutely cannot take it while working as it kicks in the sleepiness.
Tylenol PM is TY with benadryl. That is that sm
melatonin is something completely different. It raises the serotonin level, the sleep level. Too much of it knocks me out. Nightmares, hangover the next day.
Valerian root/Benadryl
Valerian root helps, and I have also used Benadryl. Those are the only two things I know of without a rx. Best wishes - I know how bad it can be!
Chocolate cream pie, whipped cream & chocolate shavings on it!
PLUS:
Chocolate cake with vanilla ice cream.
Pumpkin pie with a 2:1 ratio of whipped cream to pie.
A root beer float.
Chocolate chip cookies, or else soft, iced molasses ones - warm from the oven, of course!
And for dessert, a few chocolate Easter bunnies and a dark chocolate Hershey bar with almonds.
NyQuil or Benadryl work for me on occasion. nm
Take OTC Estroven daily and Benadryl 25-50 mg each night
Works like a charm for me - plus the Benadryl helps with my allergies and my migraines. I hit meno early (early 40s) and it sucks! Can't sleep, wicked hot flashes, restless leg, weight gain, yadda yadda... but since i've been on Estroven Plus (actually, Eckerd Drug's generic, called Estroplus) taking it daily for about a month, the symptoms are SOOOOO much better!!
I must admit, this is the third night of not taking the Benadryl -SM
and my hair is already starting to feel better! It is not completely back to it's normal thickness and fullness, but it definitely feels a lot better than it did while taking the Benadryl daily! It doesn't feel nearly as thin and weak. It must have been the Benadryl all along! My hair feels so much better today!
Maybe as soon as you wake up, you can take some Benadryl (or generic), that helps me. nm

Save your money - just buy generic Benadryl (same ingredient) unless you have pain.

Anyone ever exerpience hair thinning/breakage with taking Benadryl daily
I have been taking one store brand Benadryl-type tablet every night before bed to help me with my allergies and to help me sleep for the past few of months. Ever since I started taking it, I have noticed that my hair is thinning and breaking very easily and is just very weak. I usually have very, very thick and full hair, but not anymore since taking it. In fact, my hair is usually so thick and heavy that I always had to go and get it thinned once a month because it made my head so hot! I stopped taking the antihistamine last night because I finally realized that may be what is causing my problem. Anyone else heard of this or had it happen?
Try Benadryl, the generic is cheap. Works great, not habit-forming. NM

Hydrocortizone cream for the eye..sm
lids work. My doctor recommended it. Not sure what to tell you about the face.
TLR- ice cream treat
And by the way thanks to some of the ones that don't mind reading them!!
I decided to take a much deserved break a lot earlier than usual from the craziness going on today and plus it was so beautiful out I couldn't sit any longer. Cupid and I went to Bruesters Ice Cream for a treat. He was sooo excited he ran up to the stand!! I think he knew something special was waiting there for him! It was the first time we went to there so he didn't know what was there yet. The first thing the girl asked me was if I wanted a doggie dish. When he got it, there was a little dog biscuit stuck in the icecream. It was so cute. I hope your having a good evening, later.
No, but on progesterone cream. sm
Just finished book "What Your Doctor May Not Tell You About Menopause" by John R. Lee and Virginia Hopkins. Their web site explains and outlines various menopause symptoms and then tells you what would work best for those symptoms, estrogen or progesterone. I am using the progesterone cream, which I got from a list of progesterone creams from his website.
The first thing I note is that I am sleeping better. I have less hot flashes and just feel better overall. I also take a vitamin that helps hormonal issues.
It's a process. One has to figure out what their body needs and do their best to supplement it. I tried not to do anything for a while, but my hormones are going crazy and it affects my mood and well being. I wish I were symptom-free as most of my friends, but that is not the case for me.
I don't want HRT so this is the next best thing for me.
Anyone had Bruster's ice cream??. We tried..
yesterday and were expecting a really great treat....they say it's "real" ice cream. Very disappointed. I've had real ice cream and this was not as I remember it. Breyer's from the grocery store is better. And the waffle cones fell apart as we were eating it.
can anyone recommend a progesterone cream?
i believe i am menopausal now -- but having these hot flashes and have been told by a couple people that these creams help. But there are so many on the market...any pros/cons to the natural vs synthetic progesterones you can tell me -- any particular one that you really like? thanks!
try this - whipping cream potatoes
One bag frozen shredded potatoes
1 pint whipping cream.
about 1 1/2 t. salt.
Dump potatoes in casserole. Mix with salt. Pour whipping cream overtop and bake for 60 minutes at 350 degrees.
OMG, fried cream corn?!!??
That stuff sounds like it should be from the "Coronary Cookbook."
You'd have loved the ice cream truck
that used to play Christmas tunes all summer. I take it he's not from around here, LOL.
He finally changed the tune - to LA Cucaracha! I take it he doesn't speak Spanish if he thinks that song is going to sell ice cream! Ha!
LOL - that is gross I would not have bought ice cream from him

Ice cream with any kinds of nuts in it
Black walnut, butter pecan, chocolate almond. My mouth is watering.
And what I do is add a can of Cream of Chicken about an hour before sm
serving to give you a good, thick gravy - it combines the juices of the turkey plus the good taste of the soup. No one can ever tell how I got the gravy so thick and tasty (over home-made mashed potatoes) but the trick is that instead of flour or corn starch!
Just lotion or cold cream or something like that (sm)
I would be afraid the baking soda would be too abrasive and he'd have mark from that. If you get most of it off tonight and the rest in the morning it shouldn't be that hard to get off.
Wrinkle cream that actually works?
My mom is turning 51 this year and she has said she would like a wrinkle cream that actually works.
Does anyone have any experience or heard good things about a wrinkle cream. She has tried IQ Derma and I think likes it okay, but hasn't seen too much results. Obviously she's not looking for a miracle, but doesn't want Botox or anything crazy. also, there are so many out there that claim to "reduce fine lines" is it possible to do that really without any kind of surgery?
Thanks for any help or recommendation!
cream cheese spread
Take a couple of blocks of cream cheese and soften by mashing them up:
Season to taste with Greek Seasoning Salt. Add a little bit of chopped green onion and chopped black olives. Serve on plain crackers.
Fluff/marshmallow cream
I grew up on Fluff - LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the stuff. We have marshmallow cream out here but not fluff, and the marshallow cream here is heavy and thick. Fluff is light and airy. Anyway...growing up we always used the receipe on the fluff jar. All I remember was using Fluff, chocolate chips and i think some butter (but its' been over 30 years since I've made it). All I know it was very very easy.
Try the cream of mushroom soup......sm
in the mac and cheese and stir in a can of tuna. Very yummy! I haven't tried the chicken or celery cream soups but they sound good, too.
My doc prescribed Elocon cream
for my dyshidrotic eczema, which really helps alleviate the itching. I first developed it when I was about to graduate college - a very stressful time - and I had it on both my hands and feet. The itching was very intense. I don't really get outbreaks anymore unless I use products that contain tocopheryl acetate - which is vitamin E - and most lotions have that. I can only use Curel original formula. Hopefully you can find what triggers yours and get some relief. 
Got an cheese and cream of whatever soup
when you first said rice I was thinking white, but this may work anyway.
A few of us posted not too long ago that we have similar recipes with slight variations for a mac and cheese/tuna recipe -- simple, you just make the boxed macaroni and cheese as usual and add the cream of (I use chicken, could be celery, mushroom, whatever) and flake the tuna with a fork and add . . . could work with rice also, you just wouldn't have that lovely powdered cheese mix and would have to make your own cheese sauce.
I have also made tuna patties before with canned tuna (like salmon patties). I like the salmon patties better, but the tuna patties were certainly edible (anything fried is pretty much edible, right?), and have the rice as a side dish.
Add a can of cream of mushroom soup.......... sm
to that tuna mac and you'll think you've died and gone to heaven!

Had the same thing happen with face cream
I just happened to open the box before I got to the register. Instead of Neutogena, someone had swapped with Suave. If the packages open easily, I always check the contents. I love/hate that store. Last weekend I got a whole buggy full of groceries and there are only 2 lanes open out of 20. The only others were self checkout. I had to bag my items and place them on the floor because my buggy is full and there is no place to pull the items out of the buggy until you scan them. I let loose on the asst. manager that was standing nearby and she said they just couldn't get any help. I said well, maybe if you paid more, but then wait! they probably make more than I do as a MT anyway! 
I need some heavy duty face cream...
…I have some areas on my face that are extremely dry, around my hair line, around my nose and I have used several creams trying to soften these areas up. Sometimes I even flake on my eyelids like I have sunburn and I use dandruff shampoo on my eyebrows because if not they will flake- no dandruff in the hair, though. I know this sounds awful but this is getting on my last nerve. I have put petroleum jelly on my face overnight- still dry in these patches. Does anyone else have something like this and if so any remedies? Thanks
what is yam cream? at health food store?

Chicken/cream cheese dip. One 10 ounce can
chicken, two 8 ounce blocks of cream cheese and one package of Hidden Valley Ranch Dressing mix all mixed up together. Served with crackers. Absolutely delicious. I had this at a party the other night and it was wonderful.
The one I bought was like a white cream with aloe
where they sell burn ointments or bug bite ointments. He's probably freaked out by the way it looks as well as the sting. Once it pops though, it will just be water that comes out, but then it will look red. Try putting the ointment on the gauze instead. Then, put the gauze over the blister and tape it down. You could probably get away with a Band-Aid, but the Band-Aid might irritate his sunburn.
Have you tried any herbal formulas yet or topical yam cream? nm

Bioidentical hormones -DHEA cream, ever used it?
Yes, perimenopause is here (yipee, huh?)! I am looking into bioidentical hormones as opposed to things like BCPs (which I have not taken in years). I am looking at being on a program of progesterone cream and DHEA at the moment from a doctor who deals with a compounding pharmacy. The side effects sound a little scary, but there are side effects for everything, right? Has anyone else used DHEA? Tell me the good, the bad, and the ugly...
I am the queen of making whipped cream...
and never using a deep enough bowl (this happens many times mind you) and having whipping cream droplets all over the kitchen and me! Happens every time! Oh and used to make that awful yam/marshmallow thing at Thanksgiving (hey, my kids loved it!) and placing the bag of marshmallows on the open oven door and melting plastic all over the place.
French fries and vanilla ice cream! nm

*ears perk up* cherry cream?
That sounds YUMMY! Oh, and if you had a piece of chocolate cream with it...
I think I'm going to follow you. Wish I had a MIL that made good pies. It would make it all worth it. lol
I wouldn't have to worry about keeping my mouth shut...It would be full of pie!
I looooove Cream of Wheat! thanks for sharing nm
