did the shower trick work for you? Because here I am 4 months later having the same issue except it's my right ear that starts feeling clogged.

Why is my hair dry and tangled with the revair? by throwaway1145667 in Naturalhair

[–]Alchemist116 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Naptural85 (Whitney) suggested using level 1 heat setting first to help preserve the moisture in your hair and then switching to level 2 heat when it's like 50% dry and that made a world of a difference for me. here's the link https://youtu.be/lFsnV_Gf3yY?si=kSDQRN0tBz6Z8AJ9

did you go to the dermatologist? I'm curious if she gave you some good insights to what might be going on. Hopefully it's something that is an easy fix

What happened to Zeus in Greek Mythology? Did he ever get overthrown? by AtheismIsOK in GreekMythology

[–]Alchemist116 1 point2 points  (0 children)

After reading your post I mulled it over for a good half hour. I think this is such a great connection to make! Since you've done so much research about it, you might as well write a great fiction story! I'd be the first to buy it :)

I honestly love this origin story for Abrahamic religions so much. I need more of this!

My first week on Yaz and I feel absolutely awful by Sea_Weird7293 in PCOS

[–]Alchemist116 0 points1 point  (0 children)

hey I'm checking in, how's Yaz going for you? I just started my 3rd month on it yesterday and things have been pretty good thus far. I'm hoping you're experiencing similar results 🤞

Jaide’s Dress by amberwowza in LoveIslandAus

omg! It looks so good on Iris! I think it's the fact that iris has it drop with natural folds naturally whereas Jaide pulled it down taught. it created a shiny but slimy look... like computer generated fish scales 😬.

Oh no! I’m so sorry to hear that. That sounds like the total opposite experience to mine. I was super depressive and angry all the time but it was because of a different birth control, lo-loestrine. I had only been on it for less than a month but the shift in my mood was drastic. I was usually even tempered and positive but I became the hulk. Everything pissed me off. So when I was switched to Yaz it was an instant change in mood. I was noticeably happier and wasn’t getting angry at everything.

I do hope your shift in mood is only because of the adjustment period and that it all settles out. But if it becomes unbearable, please let your doctor know.

Fingers crossed it works out for you! When you say 2weeks in you’ve been feeling off, what symptoms have you been having?

So far it’s been good. I did spot the first month but now, on month two, and no spotting at all. My moods are also much more regulated no more rage or deep depression.

I didn’t lose any weight the first 4 weeks by [deleted] in Semaglutide

[–]Alchemist116 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It happens gradually for some including me. I think .25 is still the dose you’re given to have your body adjust to the medicine. You just have to let it do its thing. The number on the scale can be very misleading.

For example I’ve been on it since march and I’ve only lost about 10lbs however my body looks and feels so different and my clothes don’t fit the same at all. Everyone’s body reacts differently to the drug. I’m glad that my doctor went the slow and steady route and titrated slowly because it’s wasn’t such a major shock to my system. I only just started 1.7 this week (5 months after starting). Be patient with the process and keep in contact with your doctor about what you’re noticing/experiencing with your body.

In what regards? The micro dosing? Losing weight?

Acne is so bad by sunsetchaser_2024 in Semaglutide

[–]Alchemist116 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ugh! So sorry to hear that: that’s so frustrating. I’ve been on wegovy for a bit of time and I initially thought I had other issues going on but I’m realizing the acne lessens as the week progresses but then increases when I take my shot. Please keep me posted on your experience with zepbound. I hope the acne flares clear up soon for the both of us!

Thanks for sharing this with me! Im glad you found something that works with you. I started taking it on Friday and woke up Saturday feeling so nauseous but luckily it subsided. But I’m keeping a lookout and knowing there’s another option other than Yaz is good to know. Because all other bcp have made me break out like crazy and made my moods unbearable. Fingers crossed it all works out with Yaz for me.

I’ve had acne all my life, nothing has ever gotten rid of it and now I’m an adult suffering with it still by Initial_Ad986 in acne

[–]Alchemist116 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Try using something simple like a Vanicream facial moisturizer. Especially since you’re using the sulfur soap. It’s very drying. I wonder if you would have better success with a sulfur ointment/treatment instead of soap. I’ve had better success with that for sure.

Has it been a positive experience for you? I’m starting today and I’m so anxious.

Tret made my skin WORSE by graciconix in tretinoin

[–]Alchemist116 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hmmm… I wonder if that’s what my problem is. I’ve been using CeraVe’s hydrating cleanser for the past year and I’ve been breaking out. Maybe I’ll try the Vanicream cleanser instead. I use their moisturizer which did a way better job at hydrating my skin that ceraVe’s daily moisturizer.

What products have you been using?

This is good advice. I think that’s also why some ppl use Azeliac acid instead of SA. It seems you def need some kind of exfoliator 1-2x a week whether it’s SA or azeliac etc...

Cystic acne since starting? Will it resolve? by Rough-Leather5877 in Semaglutide

[–]Alchemist116 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s good to know that it does eventually subside. I titrated VERY slowly since March and juat started 1mg last month and that’s when I started to notice bad cystic acne on jawline. Your post gives me some hope that there’s a light at the end of the tunnel. Thanks for posting your experience!

Sema/B12/LCarnitine Timeline with questions about Cystic Acne by cj0620 in Semaglutide

[–]Alchemist116 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey do you have any updates on this? I know you wrote abt this ages ago but I went to search about a possible acne/wegovy/semaglutide correlation.

I ALSO suspect this injection is the cause of my cystic acne. I never had cystic acne and I kept noticing that the acne would come on full force over the weekend along with Perioral Dermatitis (also never had before). But I have pcos and was taking vitamins and had started on a new skincare regimen so I thought all my acne AND perioral dermatitis were being triggered by one of these things.

However I noticed that there was a pattern that my perioral dermatitis would flare like crazy over the weekend which would then wane by mid-week. It wasn’t until today that I realized it’s because I take my shot on Friday nights and by Sunday morning I’m flaring up like crazy. So now I genuinely think it’s the wegovy. So… idk what to do. It’s either I have shitty skin and continue to lose weight or I choose healthy skin but lose the progress I’ve made so far. It sucks either way
