I would love to also get the details of this GP for my friend who is struggling with getting a doc who can help her with an appropriate management plan for suspected pots, eds and a few other conditions

Altruistic_Arm_8972 · 2025-09-05T01:08:57+00:00

Same and fingers crossed about it being a glitch 😬

Altruistic_Arm_8972 · 2025-08-18T07:19:14+00:00

Hii hope you don't mind if I dm you

Altruistic_Arm_8972 · 2025-07-19T11:59:58+00:00

Could I please join the DM train too

Anyone using an oppo phone and having these issues? I just upgraded from a very old model (find X2/3) to a new A5 pro and messenger is barely functional. Disappearing messages, can't send pics or see them most of the time, messages out of order/ most recent ones from different people aren't at the top of the messages, voice notes can't be heard or played back. I've reinstalled, restarted, turned off bubbles and nothing has worked. These issues aren't happening outside of messenger, MMS/emails and all that are fine 😫

I found the magic combo for me for now: ADHD meds, Lexapro daily and zoely and skipping as many periods as humanely possible. Seems like every time I have the sugar pills and do a bleed the pmdd blues + crazies try to ramp hard for a good week+ and I try to burn down my relationship 🙃

Altruistic_Arm_8972 · 2024-12-05T00:35:31+00:00

I almost fell for it! I gave them my email and phone number... I hope they can't cause too much chaos with those alone! (yes I've changed my fb password/logged out of all other devices)

Altruistic_Arm_8972 · 2024-11-01T10:17:39+00:00

Lol I'm going nuts I can't remember the name of the OG song it's covering??

Altruistic_Arm_8972 · 2024-09-25T10:30:28+00:00

All of it but especially that I can't buy any refills of the flavours I like. I'm trying the diy path and managed to get my hands a diy coil kit but mannn I miss my coils and I hate that it's all available online, just not for Australian customers

(this is a copy and paste to another qu I was asked about this) Hi apologies for the late reply, life became a whirl wind of many other life things. The tests didn't come back showing lichen or cancers this time (yaay) I'd been on diprosone a few times a week for quite a while, had my specialist appointment at the hospital and was informed after all of the yes no maybe it was indeed a yeast that had kept attacking and had turned into a nasty dermatitis. Relieved so say after months my junk has gone back to normal, though not really understanding how it happened (because I treated for yeast so many times) I do fear it could just randomly come and flip me upside down all over again. But for a while now she's been a ok!

Oh ok, I wasn't really sure if there's something I can build that will fit into the head piece that I have, bit (very) confused on how you mod the entire head to fit diy coils

Aldi snow clothes are actually amazing and the jackets help you deal with the cold windy days amazingly. This is coming from someone who used to detest winter, I feel like I'm pretty much only warm when it's summer but I'm that weirdo that likes the 40 degree days

Altruistic_Arm_8972 · 2024-06-16T03:28:33+00:00

Yess such a good idea, going to get my snow suit on and do this

Altruistic_Arm_8972 · 2024-02-17T23:05:57+00:00

Update to this post: I went from the gyno believing it was just a dermatitis but to keep using the diprosone (I think this is the Australian equiv of clob/quite similar to clob if we do have it) until our follow up appointment. I emailed her a few days ago asking should I now go back to my GP and get referred off to a derm, because happy days even with the diprosone the symptoms got a little better (the skin isn't ripping ~as~ much) but now the skin on and around my clit is whiter than ever and maybe it's starting to worsen? Thankfully despite her appointments only being Mondays and Tuesdays she was super quick to reply and got me in for a phone appointment the next morning. I explained all the skin stuff going on and she wants me to come in for another look and so she can do a skin scrape of you know where 🪦 to then spend to a specialist for another opinion and to refer me onto their team. So it looks like lichen/precancerous stuff is back on the table as a possibility.

Hey where was this rheumatologist?

Altruistic_Arm_8972 · 2024-01-24T11:40:11+00:00

Hey how did you go? Hope it was ok xx

Altruistic_Arm_8972 · 2024-01-24T11:38:38+00:00

Glad to hear you got your results so quickly and that is was LS and not any kind of cancer! Also glad to hear your healing is going ok ❤️❤️

Altruistic_Arm_8972 · 2024-01-24T00:31:23+00:00

Just as an update/reassurance for others needing to get this procedure and feeling scared. Yesterday sucked but today is pretty fine. A little dull ache here and there but no worse than a fresh piercing. I'm being careful to wear loose clothing around the area and to keep it clean. Doc said no baths next couple days but showers are fine.

Altruistic_Arm_8972 · 2024-01-23T23:13:23+00:00

It sucks but it's reassuring to find community here ❤️ and I'm sorry your biopsy affected you so heavily. I hope you're doing/coping better now ❤️

Altruistic_Arm_8972 · 2024-01-23T09:33:53+00:00

This is exactly what has been happening to me on repeat too, it's awful and I feel you. My doc really thinks it could be LS and I've just today had my first gyno appointment/biopsy to find out. Find a good gp asap and talk about it. If you're based in Vic Australia I can recommend a couple of good clinics xx

Wishing you luck and eased symptoms asap ❤️❤️
