......I liked her hair. I'm not sure where it or she is at right now though :look: :look: What's your current opinion on MopTop (aka as "Nikole"?
 
I heard she is very very sick right now. I think it might be serious. I pray not though. Maybe she is just taking a break.

I love her hair and her videos and her blog!
 
Crossing my fingers she is on the up and up with the jewelry sales, because she is beautiful, seems like a lovely lady and she has given me excellent hair tips.
 
Didn't see that update earlier. She's been gone for a while with no communication. I've ordered over $80 worth of jewelry from her back in December and never received or heard anything from her since then.....
 
Her hair still looks dope to me. I'm not seeing much of a change unless it's not on her blog.

I pray she has a speedy recovery.
 
I love her. I check her blog everyday. I'm glad she posted an update because I was concerned. Also people were going really hard on her who haven't received there jewerly they order calling her a scam. It was quite sad to read. Hope she feels better soon!

Ok I'll bite. What's your intention with this thread? I don't see it being good...at all. My current opinion is that she's sick and any bad talk about her would be tasteless.

Yea I only checked it this morning to see if it she said anything about refunds. I see it now though. Me posting this thread "within minutes" of her posting hers was just a really odd coincidence.:ohwell:

I really missed her and my money. :drunk:.

ETA: If you read some of the newer comments from January 4 you'll know what I'm talking about as far as her disappearance.....

Did you have an order that got delayed due to her illness?
If this is about your money, say that. Why camouflage it about being about her hair? Are you asking us how we feel about her situation or no? If you want to start the thread, speak on exactly what it is you want to say.

My OP asks "what is your current opinion about MopTop?" I hope that clears up the confusion. Sorry about that.

Wilson's disease


Hepatolenticular degeneration

Wilson's disease is an inherited disorder in which there is too much copper in the body's tissues. The excess copper damages the liver and nervous system.
Causes, incidence, and risk factors

Wilson's disease is a rare inherited disorder. If both parents carry an abnormal gene for Wilson's disease, there is a 25% chance in each pregnancy that the child will have the disorder.
Wilson's disease causes the body to take in and keep too much copper. The copper deposits in the liver, brain, kidneys, and the eyes. The deposits of copper cause tissue damage, death of the tissues, and scarring, which causes the affected organs to stop working correctly.
This condition is most common in eastern Europeans, Sicilians, and southern Italians, but may occur in any group. Wilson's disease typically appears in people under 40 years old. In children, the symptoms begin to show by age 4.

Symptoms




Signs and tests

A slit-lamp eye examination may show:

  • Limited eye movement
  • Rusty or brown-colored ring around the iris (Kayser-Fleischer rings)
A physical examination may show signs of:

  • Damage to the central nervous system, including loss of coordination, loss of muscle control, muscle tremors, loss of thinking and IQ, loss of memory, and confusion (delirium or dementia)
  • Liver or spleen disorders (including cirrhosis, splenomegaly, and liver necrosis)
Lab tests may include:

If there are liver problems, lab tests may find:

Other tests may include:

The gene responsible for Wilson's disease has been found. It is called ATP7B. DNA testing is available for this gene. However, testing is complicated because different ethnic groups may have different changes (mutations) in this gene.

Treatment

The goal of treatment is to reduce the amount of copper in the tissues. This is done by a procedure called chelation -- certain medications can bind to copper and help remove it through the kidneys or gut. Treatment must be lifelong.
The following medications may be used:

  • Penicillamine (Cuprimine, Depen) binds to copper and leads to increased release of copper in the urine.
  • Trientine (Syprine) binds (chelates) the copper and increases its release through the urine.
  • Zinc acetate (Galzin) blocks copper from being absorbed in the intestinal tract.
Vitamin E supplements may also be used.
Sometimes, medications that chelate copper (especially penicillamine) can affect the function of the brain and nervous system (neurological function). Other medications under investigation may bind copper without affecting neurological function.
A low-copper diet may also be recommended. Foods to avoid include:

  • Chocolate
  • Dried fruit
  • Liver
  • Mushrooms
  • Nuts
  • Shellfish
You may want to drink distilled water because most tap water flows through copper pipes. Avoid using copper cooking utensils.
Symptoms may be treated with exercise or physical therapy. People who are confused or unable to care for themselves may need special protective measures.
A liver transplant may be considered in cases where the liver is severely damaged by the disease.

Support Groups

Wilson's disease support groups can be found at www.wilsonsdisease.org and www.geneticalliance.org.

Expectations (prognosis)

Lifelong treatment is needed to control Wilson's disease. The disorder may cause fatal effects, especially loss of liver function and toxic effects of copper on the nervous system. In cases where the disorder is not fatal, symptoms may be disabling.

Complications


  • Anemia (hemolytic anemia is rare)
  • Central nervous system complications
  • Cirrhosis
  • Death of liver tissues
  • Fatty liver
  • Hepatitis
  • Increased number of bone fractures
  • Increased number of infections
  • Injury caused by falls
  • Jaundice
  • Joint contractures or other deformity
  • Loss of ability to care for self
  • Loss of ability to function at work and home
  • Loss of ability to interact with other people
  • Loss of muscle mass (muscle atrophy)
  • Psychological complications
  • Side effects of penicillamine and other medications used to treat the disorder
  • Spleen problems
Liver failure and damage to the central nervous system (brain, spinal cord) are the most common and dangerous effects of the disorder. If not caught and treated early, Wilson's disease is fatal.

Calling your health care provider

Call your health care provider if you have symptoms of Wilson's disease. Call a genetic counselor if you have a history of Wilson's disease in your family and you are planning to have children.

Prevention

Genetic counseling is recommended for people with a family history of Wilson's disease

Yes, but the whited out comment about your money and a reference to previous comments implies there is an issue that specifically motivated your thread. To just randomly ask us what we think about a person in general with no specifics is a bit odd. It just looks like there is something you want to say but aren't saying it.

ETA: I feel like you are waiting for someone else to say something bad first. I don't think that's going to happen.

Wow! I'd wish her mom had updated us sooner. Her customers were truly left in the dark. I will wait until the summer if I have too to get my refund. Her fans & customers really had no idea until today.

So this was motivated by your order. There's nothing wrong with that - you didn't know, alot of people didn't. But I wish you just would have said that in the first place.
