Hi, I want to be prepared...
Is this Eyelash thing really that crazy..

Who do you go to to have eyelashes trimmed?
may seem like silly question. but I would never want to do that myself.

    eyelashes?
    Is this from chemo?
    I have never heard of this at least medically.
    As if there isn't enough to be concerned with physically.....
    I will be awaiting the responses on this, too.

    Funny you bring this up
    I just trimmed mine over the weekend. Being on Erbitux makes my eyelashes grow, and grow, and grow.
    Sometimes they get too wild and start to turn in on my eye. It's certainly a problem at times. That and they also fall out and into my eyes at times. I just grab scissors and trim them. Other times I've used tweezers to grab a stray one and yank it out.
    I wear contacts sometimes so being by my eye is not a big deal.

    eye lashes.
    i have not trimmed my eye lashes yet, but have so wanted to.

    the other day, i found myself grabbing the eye lash curling thing from my wife...

    it worked as it stopped the eye lashes from going into my eye.

    Erbitux causes the growth of those eye lashes.... crazy.

    The eyelash comb over
    When mine get too long I use the mustache trimmer on an electric razor to trim them down. It's a lot easier and dangerous then trying to use a pair of scissors.

    thanks
    I think I know just the place now to get this done when the time comes..
    That is exactly my concern.. I would turn into Edward Scissor hands trying to do it on myself..

    this might be a girly thing
    I justed to pluck my brows when I was younger.
    When I was in college, I made freinds with an Indian family and they had a wedding they wanted me to be part of so I went along with all the rituals and one was brow threading which was like plucking but strangly different.. woww.. they say it isn't painful but I wanted to cry.. I never did it again.. I pluck from time to time.. when I had gastric bypass I notice they thinned out along with my hair so I never paid attention to them till i had the thyriodectomy when I lost my eyelashs.. I said I would never touch them again. and thought they would balance off the missing lashes.. ..
    I just want to be prepared. I am alittle anal that way.. but really can't be since I don't have one any longer.. Hahaha.. Do forget to tip your waiters.. I be here all season.
    bye.
