He scratched it on some wire 2 months ago. He took all the fur and top layer of skin off by constantly licking. I took him to the vet. He gave him a steroid injection and a presciption for pregnant female cat hormones which was supposed to calm him down.
I also used a Feliway diffuser near his bed to make him feel happy and less stressed. Non of this is working. I have resorted to putting him in a body stocking made out of the thigh part of a pair of thick tights with 4 holes cut for his legs.

I take this of every day and give him a good brushing, which he loves, but if I don’t put it back on right away he is attacking the fur on his stomach again. I left it off for few hours and he took all the fur from around one of his nipples.

What am I to do ? He is an old darling, very affectionate and loving and doesn’t mind too much about his ‘cat suit’ but I am looking for a cure. Perhaps homeopathy.

May anyone consider giving me some acne remedies?
(Home rememdies, Homeopathy, Cleasners, ETC.)
My dad is suppose to go out for me and get me whatever I want because I am passing a school class (With an A finally!), and I’m suppose to tell him by tomorrow. So any ideas?
P.S.: I don’t want an answer like “Visit a dermatologist…” because, as I know, since I am under the age of 18 and it’ll be pointless because of the fact that it’s my hormones. BUT it doesn’t mean that acne isn’t ruining my self esteem so please give me answers that’ll actually help me?! =(

I have tried every single acne remedy in the last 6-7 years, including all available antibiotics on the market, homeopathy, diet and lifestyle changes, detoxification, facepacks, herbal remedies, you name it. Recently I decided to return to antibiotics. I’m using erythromycin pills and clindamycin gel. It’s worked very well for the acne on my forehead.. but absolutely nothing for the acne on my chin.

The chin acne is the worst for me because they are white or red bumps that either release pus and vanish or leave scars and red marks.. plus they are very painful and look ogrish. I’m close to breaking point because there seems to be no more advice or guidance out there as I seem to have tried everything with the exception of expensive lasers and peels.

I’ve heard that chin acne has much to do with hormones. I guess my hormones still rage as I’m a 20 year old virgin so could that have something to do with it? If anyone has any pointers, suggestions or guidance I’d greatly appreciate it

I’m 24, been on the pill for around +-8 years. Stopped pill in May which was when I had last period. No period since then. Went to OBGYN everything is perfect except when I went for blood test. Thryoid problem. Hormone TSH is too high.

Took eltroxin for 6 weeks made hormones too low. No medication for a month and then back to the doctor. If no period or hormones have not settled he wants to send me to a fertility specialist. who will probably put me on clomid and if that doesn’t work then onto IVF. the Fertility specialist sounds good.

I also heard of another doctor that specialieses in natural fertility treatment as in homeopathy, acupuncture, chiro etc. I phoned them and they said I should see them first before doing clomid. Now I don’t know what to do. I really want a healthy baby FAST so I’m not sure which way will give me the best results. I’ve currently had 2 acupuncture treatments, taking folic acid and trying to improve diet and excerise. Also taking chinese meds my acupunturist gave me.

Has anyone experienced both type of treatments and which was more successful? Which one made you get pregant faster. You can go to http://www.fertiboost.com/home.asp and tell me if you think it’s any good!!! Thanks so much!!

The best way to increase the volume of your hair is the regular application of warm coconut oil. Coconut oil has been proven to be “food for the hair” LITERALLY, as it provides all the essential nutrients and proteins to the hair, thereby promoting the growth of healthy and strong, beautiful hair. Also massaging your scalp with coconut oil, drives blood circulation.

It may take some time but this is a much better way of increasing hair growth rather than using harmful chemical products or messing with your hair by doin back-combing or something!
Also, with holi comin up, u must apply Coconut oil before going to play to protect ur hair from damage by harmful colours.
