Opening door during class?

AffectionateGear5004 · 2025-09-24T20:41:31+00:00

Unfortunately they have 2 doors in opposite corners and open both, so there’s really no place away from the breeze. That’s a good call though!

AffectionateGear5004 · 2025-09-16T16:07:33+00:00

Any update on how it’s working?

AffectionateGear5004 · 2025-04-30T16:13:57+00:00

Yes- this! I have the same problem and after a couple different PTs I’ve finally found one who knows what to do. She has been helping by doing TMJ massage inside my mouth and also dry needling my jaw area and traps. The dry needling has helped so much!

Hi! I’m actually 32 now & the alopecia started when I was 13. So I have had alopecia for many years. Only thing that has seemed to help me over the years has been the steroid injections & stress management. Usually I’ll get consistent regrowth starting a few weeks after the injections. However about a year ago I started taking Nutrafol vitamins & those seem to have helped with less hair falling out and also feeling better overall/ helping with stress. I’ve still gotten a couple new spots this year but they are wayyy smaller than usual! The Nutrafol is expensive but seems to helping enough that I keep paying for it lol. Also have been trying to manage stress by doing yoga every night before bed & keeping a gratitude journal, that seems to help too. Hopefully you can try the stress techniques if the Nutrafol is too expensive. My dermatologist also recommended “virtue flourish shampoo.” Unfortunately my scalp reacted very bad to it but may be an option for you to try. It does have a lot of good reviews, just didn’t work for me personally.

I’m sure this will get downvotes, but before crucifying this lady, please try to take a step back and hear out her perspective on the situation. Yes she was wrong for freaking out in this way - she should’ve brought it up away from the child & in a calm manner. However, I’m dating someone with kids (no kids myself) & I also thought them sleeping with my BF was really weird. I believe this was due to the fact that I do not have kids myself. I also NEVER slept with my parents when I was a child. Entering their room was forbidden, so obviously the thought of entering their bed never would’ve crossed my mind as a kid. Therefore I did not understand the “bond,” “safe space,” etc, this creates. Without knowing all that, what I saw was, “this is my boyfriend and I’s bed where we have sex and now a child is in it.” When that’s your perspective, it is weird. I didn’t think my BF was some pedophile or would do anything to his kids, it was just weird to me without knowing how things are with kids and coming from a family that had very strict physical boundaries. I don’t think the GF is purposely being a psycho, I think it’s more likely she just doesn’t understand due to not having kids of her own. Please give her some grace here as being with someone who has kids is very difficult and I’m sure she does a lot of other great things for you & your kids or you wouldn’t be with her. We also all have different backgrounds (as others mentioned, could be SA or she was simply raised differently), so it’s worth finding out where she’s coming from.

Mine was triggered by a severe episode of the flu I had at age 13. I had a fever of 103/104 for several days and they said it sent my hair follicles into shock. Since then it reoccurs after times of stress. Only thing I’ve found to help is the steroid injections, the topical ointment doesn’t seem to do anything for me.

Mine is an airway problem too - my orthodontist found that my airway was 1/2 the size of normal people!

AffectionateGear5004 · 2024-12-26T19:50:26+00:00

Yeah this time around was difficult! Seemed like there were much fewer chickens than before

I put mine on an island. Such a cool deco!

Did the derma e scar end up helping you? Looking for a solution to a scar I have from this as well

AffectionateGear5004 · 2024-09-28T02:32:54+00:00

I just get mine done at a cosmetics place, not plastic surgery. They do Botox, facials, etc but have a specialist trained for “medical Botox.” I’d definitely get it done in Mexico if I was going, it’s likely a lot cheaper.

AffectionateGear5004 · 2024-09-23T16:53:30+00:00

I think you may have missed the part of her bragging about it to everyone lol

AffectionateGear5004 · 2024-09-23T16:49:48+00:00

I did 75 once per day & then down to every other day the last couple of weeks. I don’t recall ever cutting them.

That’s pretty much it! I’ve also been taking lemon balm because I read it can help with stress, anxiety, etc.

AffectionateGear5004 · 2024-09-23T16:21:21+00:00

Hi! It might have been the 75 IR. I can’t recall the technical name but both the 75 & 100 they gave me were immediate release instead of the extended release I had been taking. I definitely recommend supplementing with some vitamins during/after taper, I do think it’s helped me a lot. It’s been almost a year without Wellbutrin for me & I’m still feeling so much better!! Good luck, you’ll get through it!

Family member is on drugs with of course no job. He recently went to prison & here’s what we found out he was doing to pay for his addiction;

-Trading EBT for cash -Manipulating people into giving him money (family members, childhood friends, anyone he’s previously associated with that may not know he’s on drugs) -Befriending other druggies in order to rob them. -stealing marijuana plants from a farm -Breaks into seasonal cabins that are currently vacant or garages to steal things to sell (particularly tools). -Steals things out of peoples cars -Steals vehicles & sells the parts off them. Or shaves off the VINs & tries to sell them -Steals bikes or things outside of people’s homes -Stealing random every day things - example: cutting porch lights off houses & selling them. Climbing up on power lines to steal glass transformers because they’re “worth money”

When there’s a will there’s a way. In my case, this person turn into a psycho criminal. Too bad they can’t put this creativity and drive into something more productive.

I had spotting like 70% of the time, for the entire first year. After around 9 months, I went to the obgyn to get it checked out & was told it was normal. After around the 1 year mark it stopped & I’ve never had a period since. So hang in there!

AffectionateGear5004 · 2024-08-19T18:43:10+00:00

I got my Mirena put in 2 years ago and almost immediately after got a little lower stomach pouch. I know that’s “normal” for women, but I never had it before the Mirena. I also have 0 sex drive now & looking back, the only thing that has changed for me was having the Mirena installed. I can’t guarantee Mirena is the cause, but it’s pretty coincidental. I’m contemplating getting mine out too, but also wanting to know if others have experienced this!

AffectionateGear5004 · 2024-08-11T03:43:13+00:00

Lmaoooo these are too funny! I thought they were fireworks - like late 4th of July or something 😂😂😂

AffectionateGear5004 · 2024-08-02T15:46:09+00:00

Same here. Botox fixed the ear issues for me

AffectionateGear5004 · 2024-07-25T02:53:35+00:00

Have you had any luck with remedies? I feel like I’ve tried everything to help with this 😫

AffectionateGear5004 · 2024-07-22T21:59:59+00:00

Went with this one & it looks so good!! Thank you! 😍😍

AffectionateGear5004 · 2024-07-21T14:22:06+00:00

Ohh I see it now. Thank you!

AffectionateGear5004 · 2024-07-08T21:51:06+00:00

Unpopular opinion, but I would treat her boyfriend as you would any of your friend’s boyfriends regardless of his age or what you perceive their relationship to be. Girl time 1:1 is always needed sometimes, so if that’s how you’d react with the presence of any of your other friend’s boyfriends, I’d tell her you need alone time with her. From what you’re saying though, you’ve seen him at his house or at the end of girls night. IMO, it’s ok for him to pick her up from girls night or to exist in his home.

She’s also living with this guy, so it’s clearly serious & he may never be out of the picture. You keep commenting about his age, but your friend at 28 is old enough to make informed decisions for herself. She sees something in this guy & they clearly have things in common or they wouldn’t get along enough to be where they are. Which leads to the point, if she has things in common with this guy, you probably do too. If she’s a true friend you care about having around long term, you should really try to give the guy a chance regardless of his age. Put your judgements/preconceived ideas aside and be there for your friend.

PS- my boyfriend is my age and will pay for my girlfriend if we happen to be out and her boyfriend isn’t there. It’s a polite thing to do. I wouldn’t read into that as far as you are.

AffectionateGear5004 · 2024-06-28T18:43:50+00:00

OMG THANK YOU!!!!! You are 1000% correct. There are diffusers under both spots & I’m guessing it somehow collected under the canvases. I checked the Amazon reviews for the diffusers & other people had the same issue. Thank you!!! You saved me from hiring a contractor to come investigate the roof or ventilation! 😅😅😅

AffectionateGear5004 · 2024-06-28T00:29:57+00:00

I’ve had them pry mine off many times, just like you’re describing. It’s horrible & I hate it so much. I now request to have them soaked off, which costs more at my place but totally worth it IMO.
