I love this thread...now added to my fav's
Hmmm....well, we use to wash the oil off our hands with gasoline (it really did work the best)...I loved eating clovers out of the fields (nope, didn't wash it), I never was a big fan of pink or Barbies but I did enjoy running around all winter long with no coat and no boots!
I think I have to add in the crazy amount of stress from my ex-husband...that's just for good measure. LOL
Oh, no...I think I've got it...eating "right", working out, loving life and being self-less, I'm certain that's a BC trigger...
SAS-you are correct about your family tree...that's very possibly where I'm at as well ...

Oh no, the Clover! I forgot about that! Gosh, I was only 5 years old, I bet that's what made my breast dense, too! I will never look at grass again without thinking of you, the fuzzylemon. This is absolutely my favorite thread!

LOL! I have to say...these boards have helped me find the humor in a lot of things!!
Yup...I was probably a goat in a previous life!! Oh, maybe that's the cause!! A previous life!!! Oh dear, back to the drawing board ...

Yup, we must find the humor. Hmmm, maybe that's it - what other people who have a dreadful, life changing disease, comes online and laughs at themselves. Maybe laughing caused our BC (I laugh a lot; not a serious bone in my body, ask my boss).

Relax, Patoo, it's not laughing that does it. Laughing is what helps us tolerate it!
Sas, thank you for your sweet words.

Ah, Leah, you are so right. So, back to the theory of housework and I forgot, houseplants that give off toxic gases because they are half-dead!
0 -
Patoo, you are so right about the houseplants! If I even go near them they die so I leave them to my dh.
And, dang, I did my best about the housework and STILL got bc. And a messy house.

Friends I'm reposting this here----------it has implications for you and your childern. Many of you don't post where you might see this.
: I'm re-postig this from another thread. tested hyperlink. There are implications , not just for us, but all women and childern males as well as females. Children being exposed to high levels of estrogen. Could explain why early onset puberty has been such a problem. AND newborns being born that have signs of going through puberty.I'm even more bummed that article was published in DEC 2006. It should have been a Public Health Warning issued from some agency. You noticed that at the end of the article they said they were going to lay low. It was fascinating that the Mongolians to empirically figure this out and have been doing it for 2 thousand years. That's HUGE.
TO ALL--please-read the below hyperlink.-----How it affects us is----Now we may have to make choices about milk.
Another thought the government has NOT dealt with the public impact of what this article identifies. Guess it's not politically correct.
I'm going to add the hyperlink here and re-post it on a couple of threads.

I am going to give the kids and spouses a break and suggest maybe it's our furry friends? Maybe it's walking and cleaning up after the dog that the kids swore they were going to take care of? Or maybe soap operas? I used to be glued to Luke and Laura back in the day. Maybe it all started then.....

I loved Luke and Laura. I never thought they would cause my BC

No, too many daytime soaps to be able to pinpoint just one. BUT, there was, if I remember correctly, only one at night - Dallas. Maybe JR caused our BC?

I think it's because my sis and I would play with the mercury from thermometers when they broke. Gather the peices into a big ball.with our fingers.... SMASH the big ball,... gather the balls of mercury into groups of mercury balls. Tidy up by trying to scoop them all up in our hands to throw them out. We were about eight. Fun!!! But, hey..... wwaaaaaaaait a minute. my sis didn't get BC. Well, she's.....She's..... nuts! Yeah, that's right. Nuts! You hear that sis? NUTS!
I could also be that I hitchhiked.

Hi I do remember playing with mercury. We did not know it was bad. Maybe playing with that black globe that you turned upside down to get the answer to your future SharonH

I'm convinced it was the eight ball that told me to play with the mercury..Is said "most assuredly"..I'm soo loving this thread just added to favs..

Thank God I hate milk. but our Mom made us drink it as a child. I've been vegetarian since I was 16 and always tried to do organic,pasture raised thing for the animal's sake, not mine, but the BC thing visited me anyway.
But I agree, it's not exactly natural0 -
Plus, sneaking out at night and meeting boys at 2 am on weeknights. My Mom always said that could come to no good.
But waiiiiiiiiiit a minute! My sis did that too! and my sis didn't get BC! Oh, I forgot, she's NUTZ!!!!! HI ANN! You'll never know your being made fun of cause I'll never tell you about this site!! Ahahahahha! ANN FROM NY STATE IS NUTZ!!!!!!!!! I seem to be talking to myself. nevermind. *sorry*

Better watch out bedo - lots of "Ann"s on here and I know some are from NY. they might think you are only pretending to be talking about a sister but... Hmmmm, droopy houseplants looking at me like they want water so better go do that or they may send their bad cells my way.
0 -
Good point!
But are they my twin and six minutes older than me? Sorry to all the Anns out there! Patoo, you are too funny. Ann always called me "Dadoo" as a baby and still does..Patoo/ Dadoo/ how do I know.... oh, I think I've been reading too much fiction.

Bedo, I don't think it's the sneaking out that did it since I was such a good girl that I never did that.
OK, I wasn't such a good girl. We lived in an apartment on the eighth floor so the only way out was through the front door which was near my parents' bedroom.
Hmmm.....maybe all the pollution rose and hit us on the eighth floor? It was NYC after all.

Leah_S, what about the fire escape? Actually that didn't work for us because the fire escape was on the front of the apartment building, right above the stoop where the neighbors always hung out and, back in the day, everyone could beat your little behind, take you back home and your parents beat you again for sneaking out. So, nope, fire escape was of no use.
But, sitting out on the fire escape in the hot summer (because we didn't have air conditioners) you were breathing in the auto fumes and there was no such thing as emission standards. HA! found my BC source - auto fumes from cars that were not getting 3,000 mile oil changes. Hmmmm, maybe I can sue Ford and Chevy?
(and bedo, don't be calling me doodoo)

The DH's sister wished it on me! When we married she whispered to others that we wouldn't be married long. Well, we're well past 32 years of marriage and almost 40 years together. So guess what? I might have gotten BC and some other life threatening illnesses in my lifetime which she probably wished on me. BUT I am STILL here, happily married and intend to celebrate many more anniversaries. Screw her and bc too! I am strong and my marriage is stronger than she could have ever imagined!

Patoo I won't call you poo-poo if you don't call me doo-doo. Dadoo: (Dah/ as in Daddy, doo as in well, poo.accent on the Dah ) Now I really have to go zzzzzzzzzzz and recover from rads. Have a good nights sleep and don't let the bed(o) bugs bite! Just kidding. xo Sweet dreams.

Patoo, we didn't have a fire escape. Sigh. Look what I missed. Forced to stay in when my parents told me to.
That's it! Not enough fresh air and sunshine since my parents made me stay in on school nights.
Leah
P.S. Anyone who wonders about how the "sunshine" goes with the "school nights" doesn't know how late I might have stayed out if I could have....

IT was those dam streetlights i tell ya!! Because if when they came on and i wasnt home OOBOY!!! And god knows i was always getting exposed to those dam street lights, i now know i dreaded them for a reason..Tammie
0 -
Oooooooooh Tammie, I think that's one that hasn't been probed before. Most of us were warned to not let the streetlights catch us anywhere other than home and how many of us listened. That's how I learned to run so fast, trying to beat the streetlights. So a combination of them and the little tarts bouncing as I ran...
