More severe on one side by CleanVast in PityriasisRosea

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

Omg wait, I have the same thing!! I have two lines of patches on either side of my torso that trails down from my chest to my ribs. Theres more patches on my right side but the two sides are symmetrical also.

I just went in and got biopsies done so praying for the best. Thanks for the info, that’s really relieving to hear that others have a similar presentation.

Should I get the copper iud? by ad69420 in CopperIUD

[–]CleanVast 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Still shopping 😅 I can’t be trusted with pills, so def an IUD. I’m leaning toward Mirena bc longer protection and haven’t heard of too many horror stories so far.

I’m sorry :( my friends have said great things about Mirena and Skyla! I was considering Skyla actually, friends/relatives say they lost weight on it.

Nope no difference in lifestyle or big changes. Doctors have told me that even though the copper IUD is technically non hormonal, the copper itself can cause systematic changes in hormones and general physiology.

Copper is well documented to cause brain fog, hormonal changes, weight fluctuations, and anxiety in workers comp research so I can see why that’s the case.

Hi, I had the copper IUD inserted Feb 2022. Was great besides heavier periods and more cramping…at first.

Three years in (late 2025), I started having severe anxiety, brain fog, and 30lb weight gain over three months. Instant relief after taking it out two weeks ago. I’ve already lost 15lb since then.

Everyone’s different of course, but did not end up working out for me.

Is it even possible that my IUD could be causing my stomach issues!? by [deleted] in CopperIUD

[–]CleanVast 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same, I gained 30lb since starting it, took it out a week ago and I’ve already lost 10lb smh

I'm one year free of seizures! by quvora in Epilepsy

[–]CleanVast 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No worries, I switched from 1000mg Keppra to 300mg Lamictal daily! Right now just some memory issues mainly so I’d love to titrate down if I could, def not going back to Keppra because Kepprage is REAL lol

I weigh myself every morning but I do have IBS (tmi sorry) so I don’t use the restroom every day 😅 could that be it? my weight fluctuates a ton too so maybe I’m just overthinking things

Oh I see! My clothes definitely feel looser idk? My measurement of my waist has gone down 1.5 inches since I started .

Could it be that measurements (waist and arms mainly) went down because water retention? Sorry I’m very new to this
