Irony... one bad thing about stopping tx.. ;-)

I never thought that I would miss anything about tx.... but since stopping tx I don't get my nice deep long hours of beauty sleep anymore. I'm actually quite speedy most of the time. I wonder what will happen after I stop the AD's....

I wonder what other ppl miss about tx?


LOL... I must be crazy!

btw, 2 weeks post, I'm starting to do really well!

One more thing that has disappeared while I'm on TX is my hot flashes -- what a relief!

Me... transpiring normally on tx and a little too smelly, any way, not nice. The smelly smelly is gone, so that's a good thing... lol...

I didn't even think about the eyelashes... dang! Will I have to give them up??? I wanna keep them. Maybe an occasional riba and peg will keep the growing... I gotta get a maintenance stash!!!

I think it's because we are so dehydrated our bodies aren't producing the usual amount of oils. That's why we don't have to shampoo so often, too.

Oh, Marcia....I am starting to feel sorry for you ;)

You can't sleep all day....your eyelashes aren't going to be long......you are going to start sweating and you have to watch what you eat now.

I still say it's worth it to be EOT, LOL!!!  Yay, Marcia!!!

(I look forward to all the free time I will have when I won't have to mow my eyebrows everyday.)

The only thing I miss about tx is I could eat as much as I wanted to without gaining any weight. As soon as I stopped tx I had to go back on a atkins type diet again but while on tx I ate 2  big bowls of cheerios for breakfast and as much ice cream as I wanted.

You ladies that have no perspiration on TX, well I didn't either.  I don't ever remember having BO ever.  Now I have the worst BO and it s*cks.  Not the amonia smell that I have read on here that has to do with liver problems (I think) but a garlic and onionish stink.

Oh my gosh!  I never heard anyone else say they stopped perspiring while on TX!  I haven't had to use deodorant since about week 4 of my TX.  No sweating and no smell at all.

Also, I have had a lot of my skin spots (moles?) disappear while on TX...almost overnight!

As far as my eyelashes, I did get the llama lashes early during my TX but then they fell out and I'm left with very limp hairs in place of strong lashes and they are very sparce!  Also, my eyebrows are almost non-existent now though they started growing outward during the first part of my tx -- then they fell out.

No underarm hair, no leg hair, and I won't mention the unmentionable hair...lol

Strange stuff.  :)

So funny you mentioned that....I was just thinking in 10 weeks, I will no longer have an excuse to take a 2 hour nap in the middle of the day.  Ah, well.....the price ya pay, lol!!!

Glad to hear you are getting stronger every day =)

Glad you are feeling better & better.  I am finally sleeping my 8 to 10 hrs again.  I do take trazadone at night and that helps.

I miss not sweating, no underarm perspiration during tx for me. Also, the ant-viral killed all my skin tagsbut now they are resurfacing. Also,my eyelashes grew incredibly long and now they are short and straight again.
Don't I sound lovely post tx? Sweaty, nubby eyelashes and little pieces of skin hanging off my neck:)
Not  really that noticeable.......I hope.
