tanning

[Guest guest]

My Aunt had Lupus and was on and off steroids for many years. We had

a boat on a lake and I remember her always covering up completely

when she went out on the boat. I also remember them talking about

how she HAD to stay out of the sun when she was on prednisone. My

advise would be no sun. I live in S. Fl. so it will be really hard

for me but I already have skin damage so I don't want or need any

other problems. Please take care and make sure you ask your doc.. I

tell everyone here that the way you can tell a Floridian is that

they're the only ones walking around without a tan. We've wised

up!! :?)

Your right on the money with this one Debbie. I learned years a go that it's

not worth it even if it does look good. I take Premarin so am not supposed

to be in the sun either. You blister before you know it, it has these

directions on the bottle for a reason.

Love, Genny

I'm thinking back to my recent post about not being able to tan and my hair

not bleaching lighter in the summer.

Many of you seem so well informed on the reasons why. I know about the

c-kit, but I wonder....does it affect hair color as well? I know we do not

produce as much melanin on Gleevec, but does melanin also determine hair color?

I

wonder why my hair doesn't go lighter. Also, when I get highlights, they

don't seem very light. I think it doesn't even take the highlights well.

If you have any info on this, please let me know.

Thanks,

in NY

Hi ,

I don't know the reason behind it but I remember a study done years

ago that showed some people who had grey hair, had their hair return

to its previous darker colour after taking Gleevec.

It's funny that our skin turns whiter but our hair turns darker, go

figure.

Take care,

Tracey

Well all I can say is if it makes you feel better and increases self-esteem,why

not,Part of what I don't like is the way this infestation affects our self

esteem,confidence....,anyway that's my story

Ok, so I know ya'll prolly dont wanna hear it but tanning for me is

therapeutic...i know all the risks and have tanned for years. This all

hit me when I hadnt been tanning in a while...i was using self tanner,

which prolly is full of the nano crap. So, that might be what clogged

me up..lol. Anyways, I am now tanning at a salon at least 3 times a

week. I have started putting the ESP balm(with some of bobby's bath oil

mixed in the jar) on my skin right before i lay in the bed...OMG... it

feels sooooo good! And I dont smell like that stinky tanning lotion we

pay so much for...And they clean the beds with some real strong

disinfectant so I am not worried about them getting on anyone else. I

am real careful just in case... Okay, just wanted to mention it cause

it's like the sauna thing people are getting results from. I like to

sweat...and I feel so much better. chasity oh yeah, before i

go I take my evening dose of vitamin E and D3's.
