That's what happens when I don't come on here much for a few days :huh:

No,:)

mse's attempts to foil the spammer have had too enthusiastic an effect and are impacting on lots of normal words or posters.

Yes. Someone mentioned JavaScript as well, but I'm not very au fait with all that stuff.

Just hope that when admin have sorted the spammers out, that all the script will revert to normal!

Those spammers must have spent hours and hours setting up newby accounts and posting on every forum on MSE! Shame they don't put all that energy towards saving money!

WaS, how are you today?

Are you still smoking e cigarettes? An e cig shop has opened now in our town.

Have the nurses drained you of blood?

Hi

Just had to pop on and offer my advise on aqueous cream. It's is not recommended for use as a cream, it is a soap! Like others have said it is very cheap and when used as a soap substitute it is amazing creamy I use it on myself and ds (who suffers from eczema). It won't do you any harm as a cream but it can irritate when used as such. I do recommend people try it instead of soap it makes my skin really soft do be very careful though as it makes the bath/shower slippery.

I use it as a shampoo too as well as a cream when my scalp feels itchy. My doctor says it is just out of fashion at the moment & to carry on using it if it works, which it does. Actually it quite worries me that they are saying don't use it but do use something which has a very high chemical content (and is VERY expensive if not on prescription)

It can be used as a soap but it's primary purpose is a moisturiser "Aqueous Cream BP is a light, hydrocarbon-based emulsion, which is officially registered in the British Pharmacopoeia and categorised by the British National Formulary as a non-proprietary emollient preparation.[1] It is used as a topical, external medicine, emollient moisturiser"
Like anything that one puts in or on one's body some users may experience side effects. As for it being an irritiant, I doubt radiographers would be dishing it out by the gallon for radiography burns if it irritated the skin.

Oh I have never used it as a shampoo I might mix a bit in my normal shampoo for my scalp. My ds is prescribed doublebase and diprobase for his skin luckily I do not have to pay for his prescriptions as yes those creams are expensive

*Peeks out from under a blanket* has it stopped?

I think I have said before that when I was very ill I had problems with thinking writing contained secret codes, I would trawl through my emails looking for misspelled words and similar phrases that might mean something when all put together. I am much better with it now but random shapes in words are still enough to make me shudder. It was just script errors though. It can't hurt any of us. I am fine with anyone here making typos so don't worry-you are all in the safe category in my mind so I hardly notice. Script errors, however are slightly disconcerting.

Bloods are done! My doctor arranged it for today and also told me to increase my thyroid medication by 25mgs. On the small chance it isn't that the increase won't do any damage and if it is we have started working on it already. I get the results in 2 days.

I am so cold it's untrue, and I slept for 14 hours. I feel quite tearful today but if it is my thyroid (and lets face it I am a walking textbook of symptoms) then depression is common with it. Otherwise I am ok!

I am still on the e-cigs! I am not missing smoking real cigarettes at all. I have discovered that far more than a physical addiction it seems to be a psychological one. As long as I can feel a cigarette shape between my fingers and can twiddle it I feel so much better. WaSp is also only smoking e-cigs now!

That is a very good point. I am looking at it for using for eczema so I suppose what condition you are using it for would depend on the reaction. You are also right to point out that not everyone suffers with the same side effects.
