    excatly i wish i was a lucky one that only had to worry about my hair 

    it makes me sick seeing all theses actresses on tv in the soaps in there 40sand 50s all looking really glamorous in really big heels

    and tight skirts and jeans .

    and then i look at this old frump that looks like a sack of s--- and feel 

    really depressed again

      yep i totally feel ya, i used to dress well everyday, wouldn't dream of wearing flats and wouldn't go out the house without full make up. Now i'm lucky if i can get a wash ! Wear pj's more than day clothes and rarely have the hands to put my make up on. Grrrrrrr ! Argh !

      so nice not to be alone in this .

      yes its harder to get the make up on these days trying to hold my hand steady . i was always so in to clothes not so much fashion i liked wearing clothes that were differant to others but i was always smart and i never went anywhere with out tights.

      now its such a chore i dont bother 

      by the time iv got them on i am aching sweating and red in the face 

      so dont bother  i feel that this condition has robbed me of my dignity bit by bit and i am so fed up with it just like you hun

      Oh tiswas; you know what I really think/feel re "those" ladies on the screen.....they are wasteing their time and our's...they have Makeup/Hair and makeover Professionals...and they probably suffer terribly for those "high-heels"...impossible not to, as it has been advised by generations of mothers to their daughters   (mine/me) re the damage that they do to their feet.....I have found that if I wear a shoe that has an all-over platform (no pressure on toes)...only a slight elevation for those times that I want something special (and only have 2 pairs).....but the real issue is, the old and very true, saying "beauty comes from within"...if you are Genuine, and loving/caring to those around you....you will be noticed and remebered long after those others....and you are, as previous inputs on this site, have shown....cheerup...we all know/think of you......Bron

      thanks for your kind response , but i dont believe in that old saying 

      you should be judged by who you are ,and not how you look

      but in this celebrity culture its not so .

      you only have to look to the soaps once again . 

      how many female charectors leave and come back several months later

      stone or two lighter i see it often ,if they gain to much weight there contracts are not renewed . this is not the case with male charectors

    Oh Chrissyboo; I'm really sorry that you are feeling so bad.....you have actually pulled me up, and am thinking   maybe I'm lucky, I don't ever get as bad as some others....is it because I have good drs (who know me well), and have given me the correct medications, or why?  I do get what I call bad days....ones where I just want to sleep/rest...and usually after having been somewhere the day before....but never to the extent that you sound to have.  Do you have regular physio, to keep those muscles loose?.....and have you been lucky enough to have been prescribed Amitryptilline/gabapentin....maybe even some valium....all os these can really help with those muscles' and their tightness/pain?....let me know....and thinking of you today....Bron

      In my case..I feel too, that I'm not as  bad as some...but I have had it soooo long now, I can see the light at the end of the tunnel..yes there is light..judt bad flare ups now...which is great fir coping with other conditions.....grr..  I just love clothes/fashion- matching everything..always have been...a bit retentive....I'm a shocker for makeup and hair done properly, won't go anywhere unless right...but I must say the first 10 years were quite different...I really needed help from my daughter..who is still great with makeup and hair & is a very trendy dresser..etc...know what you all mean by those professionals on TV though..but remember they do get. paid well to look good. I feel really sorry for some of them actually, apart from the unbelievable costs they are defined by what they look like..when they can't possibly keep looking good..what's left...mmmm...at least we can all be  firm in our foundations...that are like gold that can't perish or tarnish,  even if we don't feel like it sometimes,,,...that's my thought anyway...be blessed:-) xxx
