I'll take a pic and then find an old one to compare with if I can. She used to have all these black marks and just generally looked like she'd lived a tough life. Kinda looked how I'd expect an old Thai woman to look, since over 60 here is really pretty old compared to in the west. Now her skin's all the same colour and actually looks smoother than I'd expect say an English 60+ year old woman to have. She's got a double chin and a chubby face because she's a bit fat but her skin itself looks really taut. Mon's brother's wife is using it too and it's smoothing out all her old acne pock marks and discoloured areas. I still don't know exactly what it is though.

Holistically speaking, it's believed there's something in your environment or diet that you're allergic to.

my dad used to have asthma as a kid, it went away when he grew up and in his 50 he developed exczema

It's probably that nasty ass rotting chicken coop building she has to work in.


PunkMistress, I'm glad they figured out what was bothering you, but I would still try to do something about the air quality in your office -- it may be exacerbating the condition.

We can still have a funeral, if it means we talk about me and how great I am.

I'm gonna get a pink wig and do a whole one act/one woman play as you.

I'm Not Dying! It's Asthma!

Update to my recent health nightmare:

I went to see the lung specialist today. I finally had pulmonary function testing done, first while I was symptomatic and then after treatment with an inhaled asthma medicine. The test showed my lung capacity was 75% before treatment. After treatment it was 114%!

So I've been diagnosed with adult onset asthma and severe allergies. I can't tell you how relieved I am to have an answer and a treatment plan.

My interweb friends have been a tremendous and cherished source of support, comfort, distraction and upliftment during all of this.

Shout out to JerseyKRS who has not only been dealing with the stress of not knowing what's wrong with his sick wife, but also taking on all the duties of home, bills and four crazy children. He is the most best thing of anything that ever was.
