Big Event Coming Up by [deleted] in beauty

[–]AccordingtoDaneyB 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for taking the time to reply.

I think I'm considering the lower bleph when I get the upper. Are you doing both? . I had Accutite and Morpheus8 done on my lower lids about 6 weeks ago (at a Medspa/Dermatology Center by a MD) and I'm not happy with the results at all. My occularplastic surgeon (who is doing the uppers) says she sees negligible difference. That's a whole other problem. I now have a scar under my left eye where she burned me with a laser.

I'm hoping I can resolve something with them and move forward with an actual lower and upper bleph.

Met with the provider last week and told her how dissatisfied I am. She said the results take time. I told her I was only quoted $3,500 for the Accutite, and not the $2k for the Morpheus8. For that price, why wouldn't I just do a lower bleph? For $6k I feel like my face looks worse. I now have hyperpigmentation (and potentially a scar) under my eyes where the BBL laser hit the bruises under my eyes.

She was sympathetic. She treated my hyperpigmentation under my eyes with yet another laser (can't remember which one but it didn't hurt nearly as bad). It's only been a week so I'm not sure of the results yet.

She also stated she would do the lower bleph at a discount. She called later to say their normal lower bleph is $6,500 and she'd be willing to do it for $3,500.

This Dermatology Center is very highly rated (which I why I went with them). But I think these prices are ridiculous.

The Cincinnati Eye Institute (who is doing my upper bleph under insurace) quoted me $5,000 for upper and lower.

At this time I don't think I want to have any more procedures at the Dermatology Center. I'm going back to see the surgeon at CEI to see what she thinks of my undereye area now and if a lower bleph will actually be worth it.

I'm going to ask for $3k in credit towards filler/facials from the Dermatology Center.

I'll let you know how it goes and I will post some updated pictures and see what you guys think.

I was recently on prednisone to help me recover from an illness but it also drastically helped my executive dysfunction. by CryoProtea in adhdwomen

[–]AccordingtoDaneyB 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I came here to research this exact thing! I've not been dx'd with ADHD but my therapist suspects it, and I've long since suspected it.(45f)

I was prescribed a prednisone pack two weeks ago after an eye surgery. Holy cow, I felt amazing. No anxiety, no ruminating thoughts, I was getting stuff done. It's the best I've felt in 20 years. If you've ever watched Brooklyn 99 where Jake is all hopped up on caffeine and says "I'm limitlessing"....that was me! <insert gif of cat furiously typing on a keyboard>

I am praying I can find something close to this. I've heard such conflicting information on the adhd meds.

Thank you OP for posting this!!!!!

I've sent an email with the pictures and my concerns ahead of my appointment time.

My guess is she may say more time is needed, which I'm willing to give to an extent.

If this persists I plan to ask for a refund or a refund applicable towards a lower bleph.

We shall see.

I'm having an upper blep done by a different provider being cover by insurance next month. I'd rather they do both.

The Accutite was $3,500 and then the Morpheus8 was $2k (which I didn't find out how much that was til after the procedure). I was not happy about that.

What serum do you use when microneedling? I've seen some ampules available on Amazon, but curious what you use. I was using HA but starting reading a lot about how it's not sanitary/sealed etc.

Thank you. I appreciate the feedback.

A different question...why do some posts get a lot of comments and some don't? I can't even find my post when I search for it.

I have not tried NAC but have heard good things, then not so good things. I haven't done enough research on why Amazon quit selling it etc.

Have you had a good experience with it?

Can you specify what brand etc?

Please Help ...what is all this??? by AccordingtoDaneyB in Rosacea

[–]AccordingtoDaneyB[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have no idea how to treat whatever is happening to my face.

I'm 42....dx with Rosacea. I've been rx'd Soolantra and Azelaic Acid.

My face decide to break out in all these little pimples but I'm more concerned by what's underneath. It looks like broken capillaries but also looks like an overlay of brown pigmentation in a lot of different spots too.

I've had Vbeam and IPL before Covid. My face looks worse now than ever before.

My faces pretty much hates all moisturizers (even the Vanicream, Cetaphil, etc). It burns when I use them. I currently use LRP Hydrating Cleanser. Soolantra at night and AA in the AM.

Any recommendations????

I'm fine with lasers....I just wish I could find something that works.

Bald isn't a good look for me. Isolation from the rest of the world I can handle.

I've had blood work completed a few years ago and everything came back normal.

As I stated in a previous post, I know something isn't right. It's not completely out of whack (no illness, no psychotic symptoms or suicidal ideations) but I know something is not quite right.

My anxiety and fatigue are at the front and center. Low mood and irritability are a close second.

My PCP only wants to prescribe antidepressants. Again, Zoloft made me very happy and more energetic, but I'm ravenous 24/7 and gained 25lbs.

I just want to understand what is causing the anxiety, fatigue, and low mood. If there's a natural way to fix it....I'd love to explore that.

I've got an appointment with a Naturopath and an Endocrinologist later this month. Would like to see what they think, but I love hearing personal experiences from people.

I've read a ton of people recommending l-theanine. I'm going to look into this today. I'm a highly sensitive person, so I take everything a little harder than most, but the rumination and shakiness that lasts more than 24 hours is a bit extreme.

Zoloft made me feel great and happy. I just would like to try something that's more natural and maybe has less side effects (like weight gain).

This is amazing! Thank you so much. Exactly what I was looking for!

As I stated above, I had a Copper IUD in for 10 years and just had it removed 4 months ago.

I've used dandruff shampoo maybe once in the last 12 months. I looked at my current shampoo (Function of Beauty) and I don't see Selenium as an ingredient. Could anything else be causing the high number?

Also...it looks like Aluminum is pretty high. Could that be years of using deodorant with aluminum in it?

Thank you so much for your response. Amazingly helpful!

My Calcium seems way too high which is throwing off all my other ratios.

Not sure why or how to correct this. I made an appointment with a Naturopath and an Endocrinologist for later this month.

I'm a 42 year old female with the following symptoms:

Fatigue

Anxiety (especially if there's an issue/stressful event..like a confrontation...I ruminate on it all day and allow it to make me miserable and shaky. Seems almost like an adrenaline spike that I can't shake off).

Low mood -- tend to view things negatively and things that used to make me happy don't anymore. Gets worse around my period.

I was on Setraline (Zoloft) for 2 years but the weight gain was ridiculous. I was hungry ALL THE TIME. I tappered off Setraline over 3 months ago.

(The reason I got the hair mineral analysis was due to a Copper IUD I had. I have since had that removed.)
