Title: Another update
Post by: kellypatrick on September 02, 2015, 04:00:26 PM
Yesterday I went and got my first hair removal treatment on my face.....DAMN that ->-bleeped-<- hurts....Went to endo a couple of weekends ago and he put me on the patch instead of pills.  I am having trouble keeping the patch on. It is hot and humid here in florida and you sweat a lot and it falls off.. it is frustrating. I am in my fifth week of six week rehab program, this time I am doing it on outpatient and have to admit I had a couple of beers while in rehab... The rehab is at the VA and have been quite suprised how i have been accepted by my fellow vets. I also had to go back to ACTs fpr a memorial for a counselor there and was was treated fairly well. Acts is a REsidential rehab were I was but left because I felt I need go full time and was afraid how I would feel.
Question has anyone had laser and used the dulling cream did it help at all

Congratulation That's great. One warning they often increase the laser intensity as the sessions go on. I just had my fourth, between the added pain and the trapped feeling laying on the table I had a bordering panic attack. Just be ready for it. Practice breathing techniques or something.

The name thing is awesome. I am looking forward to mine being official, its nice to have something concrete to feel like things are moving forward.
