i just went for a residue treatment. hormonal imbalances - dandruff killing my scalp.



the cheapest is to get doctor's hair spray.





you can do a mask once in a while if u have dry hair -avoiding the scalp.



if you have dry hair & scalp olive oil treatment - just apply & wear a shower cap for 20-30 min helps too before u rinse off.



i wanna get a Crimper for the top at the roots to give ore volume as i am lazy to blow dry or use special combs.



I only use hair loss or oily hair shampoos. i dont use conditioner as i will get dandruff if i use conditioner too near my scalp.

my hair spray is for my dandruff problem. its has steroids which my gynae also approved of during pregnancy use - so its quite safe i suppose since applied.



cos since my 2 preg my scalp/facial skin become abit more oilier & has dandruff problems.



i seeked tric-care ther Dina Ser's promoted one & they tryying to ask me for few thousand dollars. i told them to go fly kites.



my friends who know the spa business line said they are like taht one - they will anyhow try to get more business from u & scare you about tthis & that - of course if i were some MISS SG actress then bo bian la - but i rather see a specialist at national skin centre soon if the problem doesnt improve.



i dont have a few K to keep giving them ( trico care) every yr. we have kids to feed!

i use this & this too

pink is milder - i get both & alternate between my regular shampoos as they are quite drying.



I think i might have dandruff psoriasis itchy and oily scalp problem as stated in teh dark grey bottle description.



i use shampoo for oily scalp or dandruff - i get dry flakes. no itchiness - less flakes than if i used moisturising shampoos.



but if i use milder or even moisturising shampoos i get itchiness & dandruff.





anyone can figure out what's wrong?



i am just afraid of hair loss but my GP said i dont any hair loss problems la

 
Vicma, I developed scalp psoriasis too after delivery due to the hormonal changes. I went to my dermatologist and was prescribed a special shampoo with tar as an active ingredient. The flaking went away after a few uses. Sometimes when I am especially stressed, it flares up again for a bit so I just use the shampoo during those times for maintenance.

its exactly what i am experiencing.



the flakes come when i am about to fall sick - just like an alarm bell.



Perhaps i should consult the doctor again with this "scalp psoriasis" specific to tackle. It comes & goes & i have it for so long till i nearly forgotten i can seek medical help for it!



can u imagine those hair scalping/loss shops wanting a few thousands for it & scaring customers with perm hair loss & what not. my doctor's spray is around $18/200-250ml bottle.



Gimmicks!

 
i am not talking about $2-3K.



they actually offered me a $6K course with so mcuh add ons. then whehn i politely declined, they said ok you can start of items 4-6 later perhaps. but they are very important she initially claimed lolz

 
Vic Ma,

For me the flakes come when I use cream shampoos. Also if conditioner gets to the scalp. They will come too if I have very little sleep (biggest culprit!)



Ruru,

The sky's grey where I am... think it is going to pour soon.

 
my place super sunny...



oh flakes from scalp, shampoo not suitable change to something mild it can help eg johnson



i receive a letter from childcare for recycle art & craft for mother day..

im wondering what to make, any idea to share

 
Hi mummies,



Need your help. My fren lost her 10weeks old bb because it stopped growing and no heartbeat. She had to remove it. Her hubby took a week's leave to take care of her at home. Cooking her confinement food but he needs to get back to work next week. Anyone of you knows of where and how we can order another week's of confinement food at affordable price?

use magazines, ribbon from candy or whatever - a box from a toy or a pair of earrings - make something lor.



minimally you can make a card.



i quite headache when there is such home work. but the teachers actually measure the parents by their involvement lor. I will scramble to do these "homework" so that they dont think we bo chap & also treat my kids with the same manner.



but sometimes i really bo bian lor.

7 day meals is $418 not sure if that is considered cheap enough for u la.



I used them for my 2nd confinement - food is not bad - alot of soup & they give the red date drink too so 2 huge bowls - 2.5-3 normal rice bowl worth of soup w ingred. one of which is the red date drink.



quite filling lor - i can keep some eat for snack later - sometimes i pass one item to my maid also - just too much le.

 
must take confinement food after lost baby?? oops, i lost mine at 9 weeks that time just take one day Hosp leave, and go to work the next day. and ate as usual. what will happen if don't take confinement food?

In certain schools depending on the culture of the school.



U Bo chap n if yr child

Needs extra help they might not

B so willing to go an extra mile for u.



N also if I am a teacher. I am trying to teach n homework is part of my work. U as parent don't do your part, sometimes v hard for the teacher to teach properly. It's like a colleague concept too- u don't help yourself y should I help u more than normal?



It's also v demanding on teacher facing 8-12. Kids each under their care lo. Just face one weekend some of us no tiger Liao (tired).



I also bring in the teachers day gift. Can remember try to give something lo.

 
how they know u bo chap - the infrequent homework they give u dont do (either could be over looked or busy la)



but that time i was popping our tiger i really very "bo chap" for #1 but that one they know & understand la.

 
Iherb 10% off - any takers??



whole box or longpang open



cos my colleague wans some stuff & waiting another to confirm & myself i want some stuff but all of us not eonugh to make up 1 whole box ourselves - might be making 2 boxes of longpang style.



if you are buying something high priced & heavy like glass bottled fish oils - i strongly recommend you to make your own box as i prefer not to repost large glass bottles if possible.

 
maddie, also just know from the older generation. they say it's also like "giving birth", the woman's body also lost blood, etc so better to do "confinement" but shorter than the normal. Think 2 - 3 weeks only. not sure what will happen ba... nothing major i guess... but just to bring her health back lo.



Now i'm more worried about her mental health. Wow biang... she's super not strong mentally and i'm damn worried she will develop depression lo. Her hubby also worried so took a week's leave to keep her accompany. It's been few days and every day, she still msg me and tells me.... "i'm in pain..." stupid me thot wound pain so ask her take painkiller but she told me heart pain.



-_-|||

 
dazz



u know what they say about mcs - its not meant to be - it was not healthy enough - better it now than later into the pregnancy.



nature has its way of self abortion when it knows this life is not meant to be.



its a good thing. dont have to feel too sad.



She just needs a little more tonics rest her body for at least 3 months before can plan to start again.

 
dazz,

yes, its painful and does take times to heal. not sure if its her first child, if yes, i will take slighly longer till she had another.



i have been through it, its not easy but it will passed.

 
Can anyone help to translate my Filipino helper's phone message? I doubt she is talking something bad about our family.

1. Bkit ano gwa m Jan China kelan kp n terminate

2. Xia mismo ng message s fb q ask q nag kng joke Lang dp xia reply

3. Ganun? Eh hnd nman ngbbiro unng ganun eh...

 
Vic Ma,



French fries and sushi sweets??!!??? U are really a darling in our thread, always find these type of weird weird things to introduce to us!

 
Dazz,



So sweet of the hb to take leave to take care of her. Celyn is right, time will heal. My personal experience I pulled thru by thinking like Vic Ma, no good the body rejected so we just move on and look forward. Maybe get her to go online the SMH forum to find some support?

 
ruru cat,

i don't have anyone to tell me that then and i keep thinking its my fault. i even go to the extent of doing a health and body check to make sure i'm fine after i mc.



also cos my mum always tell us that she had bad pregnancy experience, she had to stay in bed once she knew she is preggy or else she will mc. she had 2 or 3 mc cos she do simple housework like sweeping the floor.



so when i mc, i start wondering what its wrong. am i really that weak or whatsoever. being on hospitalisation leave for 2 weeks after mc had make things worse cos i start having my imagination running wild.



but i'm so glad that its all over when i had my boy. though both preggy, i was on mc for the whole of 1st trimester but i still manage and have 2 lovely babies.

 
ruru,



lol

i saw on gmarket emailer - & my eyes went big as balloons!



i managed to keep #1's sweets till today - she forgot all about them!

 
Hi HI Mummies!!!





Hmmm..I got a qns to ask.



YH had stomach flu around 2weeks ago and thereafter she recovered. Then ard 3 days later she starts having looose and at times watery stool again.



Brought her to PD and PD said she is on the wway to recovery and PD gave her BIO GAIA.



However, PD said there is no need to swtich to soy milk thus i never give.



After taking BIO GAIA. i noticed her stool has no improvement till now. [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/sad.gif]





ANy idea what is wrong? or could it be she is allergic to cow's milk all of a sudden?

 


piglet

i think the aggressor still around -maybe u buy small can of Soy FM- i think Whyth has & if no improvement for 2 more days then u call Dr Oh again.



take note of everything she eats past few days & onward going so that u can pin point the aggressor.
