You cant find it at any store? I've seen it all over in the cold section. You can also order it online from any drugstore.

Per my Dr, the nurse and the herb "expert", you can take more than 7500. I take the 7500 daily and it's significant.

Good luck to you!! I think 1000 is too low of an amount. I spoke to a few people at the health food store as well as the nurse and they said to up to 7500. I was taking 1000 preop and then once I switched to 7500, my hair and nails started growing like crazy.

What amount of biotin are you taking? I noticed there are many different mcg's between 1000 and 7500. I take 7500 and my hair has grown two inches in the past month. It's crazy.

Very normal and not fun. I went thru this as well. I now add benefiber to my tea and protein shakes to help. It took me about a week to get "normal".

I had a HORRRRRIBLE reaction similar to this. I had horrible welts, red marks and severe itching from the steri strips. I have been using cortisone cream and taking benedryl and it has helped. Also, don't use super hot Water on the welts. I clean with peroxide and air dry them and then use the cream all over. They were driving me mad about 2 weeks and are finally getting better.

I am nowhere near that far in my journey but I do know I started on Biotin as soon as I started my supervised diets. It has done wonders for my hair, skin and nails. My hair has grown 2 inches alone in about 3 weeks which is NOT normal for me. I would definitely try it!

I would love to chime in. I know Pasta is a slippery slope but I am also 100% sicilian and I refuse to have an object that doesn't allow me to partake once in awhile in the food I enjoy. With that said, I was creative and decided to fake myself out on the pasta front. I have been making zucchini pasta. I even blogged about it here: http://saucybandster.blogspot.com/2012/02/fake-carbs-o-mighty.html I get my green veggies in and add a sauce which is Protein. I put a turkey meatball in the food processor and added sauce to make it soft and put it on top of the pasta. There is also a lite ragu alfredo which is very low fat, has protein and light on the carbs and that is divine in a small portion. So there is your Mac N cheese persay. I also bought the shiritaki noodles and split the package into 4 servings versus 2 and added the meat and cheese sauce. Voila, I have my Italian food with low carbs.

YAH! Thanks Thanks Thanks!! There were two spots for the tickers. The one I was pasting worked as a widget on my blog but not here. I didn't realize there were two spots. Appreciate the help - big time

Ok so it's not working and this is where I am confused. I went to BBcode but it's a pull down menu and there are a ton of options. So I chose html within there and it still shows up as code when I save changes. In fact, I left it so you can see. So is there another selection I need to make in the pull down Bbcode menu besides HTML?

Are you sure the rash is from the pain meds and NOT the Steri Strips??? I had a MAJOR allergic reaction on each of my 5 incisions where the tape was. I am red with welts and it burns and itches bad. They are large red patches around each incision. It's a pain!!

Hi everyone, I am apparantly non technical because I keep trying over and over to add a weight loss ticker in my signature. I am trying to add the HTML code from My Fitness Pal. It gives me the following: <a href="http://www.myfitnesspal.com">Free Calorie Counter</a></small></p> I have added it from the Special BBCode and chose HTML and nada. I tried the <> portion and added it there and nothing. It just keeps showing the whole thing written out. Can someone help me on how to add it?? Thanks!!

I am so sorry you going thru this! Wishing you the best and an easy recovery.
