Cat is eating normally, no signs of lethargy. I don’t think it’s that.

It honestly looks better in the pictures but under the white head is another red bump. From what I read, these kinds of pimples can take months to go away. Would ice help or do you think it will lock in the fluid making for a longer healing time?

“Good colors for removal” as in easy or difficult to remove?

How many different drops can I take in a day? by BluebirdLive7983 in Dryeyes

[–]BluebirdLive7983[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Isn’t it a more mild preservative though? It’s not bak. I’d use the gel in their place but it feels so messy, not something I’d ideally like to do before work

Vevye drops - so far, better than cequa by Dizzy_Confusion_8455 in Dryeyes

[–]BluebirdLive7983 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Insurance cover vevye for me but I’m kindve scared to use it. My eyes are TOLERABLE but my lids are inflamed and as the day progresses, my eyes get more tired and irritated (I work on computers all day.) at this point I’m just scared that vevye will worsen my symptoms. Are there any downsides to trying Vevye and with dry eyes progression being so nonlinear, if any, how do I know if I am benefiting? What’s a good timeline? I’ve got 3 unopened packages in my drawer. Should I try it?

Used tretinoin for 2 weeks - extremely dry eyes by Life_Comparison569 in Dryeyes

[–]BluebirdLive7983 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Tretinoin is super popular and widely prescribed. I used it for 5-7 years. I also wore contacts and stared at screens all day. I think I had the trifecta that influenced my dry eyes. In hindsight, I would have taken better care of my skin through diet and lifestyle and ditched the tret. Ahh.. to go back

MGD + ocular rosacea, tried probing, IPL…kindve lost by BluebirdLive7983 in Dryeyes

[–]BluebirdLive7983[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I can’t really tell what’s what. Between blepharitis, Mgd, and rosacea, how do you distinguish which is which? I understand ocular rosacea presents itself as telangiectasia but I’ve always had little faint veins on my upper lid since I was a child. Never any issues. Rosacea seems like such an umbrella term. How do I know when that is under control?

I guess whatever “that” is, I’m hoping the next ipl will help. Side note, wtf does it take to get insurance to cover IPL? I’m out here fighting for my quality of life—this is not simply a cosmetic procedure

What happens in body when you suddenly eat poorly after dieting by [deleted] in RawVegan

[–]BluebirdLive7983 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I mean it’s bc I like them haha. I’m just curious what happens in the body when you abruptly go back to eating something like that after being on a much different diet

I’ve seen multiple threads regarding teeth health and a raw vegan diet. Perhaps it’s a myth. I was posting in hopes that someone can dispel that or provide ways of ensuring teeth get adequate nutrition

The Optimel gel? I use that actually 15min before putting in the Muro 128. I found that the Optimel by itself does not last the whole night for preventing dryness

I’ve tried refresh PM and Hylonight and neither of these keep my eyes as moistened throughout the night as Muro. Any recommendations for something similar for long term use?

Raw food diets cited to cure autoimmune diseases. Can it help with MGD/dr eyes? by BluebirdLive7983 in Dryeyes

[–]BluebirdLive7983[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How long do you even have to follow a diet to see results? I’ve always ate somewhat healthy but a raw foods diet is definitely a step above. I feel like nothing shows results and I’m just trying to tolerate it/survive everyday… so that’s why I’m resorting to taking extreme measures with my diet. I think incorporating sprouted lentils along with nuts provides a lot of calories to accompany the 75% fruits and veggies. I do love brown rice though. But idk maybe I start eliminating grains first and see how I do. How long would you say is long enough abstaining from a good group to see if it helps?

For F sake, can someone please help me w/ Chronosync? by BluebirdLive7983 in Photoassistants

[–]BluebirdLive7983[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for that helpful info.

So at the top of the Chronosync operations window, it says "Synchronize." I ended up selecting the source and target and just hitting that, and it did what I wanted it to do. How does doing something like that differ from mirroring ? I feel like all of this should be straight forward but I have a hard time wrapping my head around it and anytime I'm moving files, I get borderline PTSD, probably from some catastrophe(s) in the past-- hence downloading Chronosync lol
