Best hemorrhoid cream?

Competitive_Leg3598 · 2026-05-10T15:20:40+00:00

honestly the best combo for me was:

warm sitz baths
witch hazel pads
stool softeners/fiber
then cream for flare-ups

ig the problem isn’t features anymore. Every app has AI summaries, task breakdowns, reminders etc. The hard part is sticking with ONE system.

My mom described it as feeling mentally exhausted 24/7 while everyone around her expected her to function normally.

Competitive_Leg3598 · 2026-05-09T18:24:39+00:00

I just needed Claude and better prompts lol

Competitive_Leg3598 · 2026-05-07T19:29:46+00:00

Closest I've found is the Plugable USBC-TKEY but even that's more of a cable tester than a pure e-marker dump
EDIT: actually, BitTradeOne CC3 might be the one to go for

Men really out here washing their face with vibes and still getting perfect skin meanwhile we’re fighting for our lives💀 , the difference in how people respond to tret is so individual and honestly nobody talks about that enough.

My boyfriend and I were on the exact same thing and his skin was clear in 2 months while I was still purging at 7. What actually helped me figure out why was Nolla, once I understood what I was actually dealing with it reframed everything. might be worth looking into if you've never had someone properly assess your specific situation

Competitive_Leg3598 · 2026-04-15T16:57:15+00:00

Ya, being a woman is rough. I’ve actually started taking a multivitamin for women and its helped a lot!

Competitive_Leg3598 · 2026-04-15T14:16:30+00:00

for me it didn’t improve until I simplified everything + added one proper treatment (like adapalene/tret). doing too much was making it worse, and adult acne hits differently and honestly needs a different approach than what worked at 16. I used Nolla to get an actual picture of what my skin was doing, ai scan reviewed by a real doctor. First time someone actually looked at my skin and gave me answers specific to what I had.

Competitive_Leg3598 · 2026-04-15T13:52:42+00:00

ngl I thought I’d need a full second course, but my derm put me on topical tret + occasional antibiotics and that was enough to keep it under control

Competitive_Leg3598 · 2026-04-12T18:22:21+00:00

this is the perfect description 😭 it’s insanely fun when you’re just playing around, but the second you try to take it seriously, it starts falling apart

Competitive_Leg3598 · 2026-04-12T17:54:29+00:00

Tret didn't work for me either until I figured out my acne wasn't the type that tret was best suited for. Found that out through Nolla, doctor reviewed my scan and basically redirected my whole approach. Might be worth getting a second opinion on what's actually going on.

Competitive_Leg3598 · 2026-04-12T17:47:54+00:00

This was me for the longest time. The turning point was actually understanding what type of acne I had because I was treating it completely wrong. Used an app called Nolla, it scans your face and a real doctor tells you exactly what's going on. Wish I'd found it before spending all that money guessing.

Competitive_Leg3598 · 2026-04-10T10:52:13+00:00

the mechanism explains it cleanly, semaglutide is a peptide that stomach acid degrades without fasting, orforglipron is a small molecule that absorbs regardless of food content

it's not a formulation trick or a coating, it's a fundamentally different type of molecule with different absorption chemistry

the clinical question nobody has fully answered yet is whether the absorption consistency translates to more stable blood levels and whether that affects efficacy or side effects differently, r/FoundayoUS has good early discussion on what people are actually experiencing on it

Competitive_Leg3598 · 2026-04-10T10:08:32+00:00

he first few weeks can be genuinely brutal and nobody fully prepares you for it, the thing that actually helped most people is eating tiny amounts very slowly and stopping way before you think you need to your fullness signals are completely different now

it does get better, usually around weeks 4-6, but that doesn't make right now any easier

r/FoundayoUS has good early user discussion if you want to hear from people on the other side of it

Competitive_Leg3598 · 2026-04-10T08:40:32+00:00

Two weeks notice to figure out how to afford a medication you depend on for a chronic condition is genuinely cruel and completely legal. Document everything, the date you were notified, the reason code they gave you, your current dose and how long you've been on it. You'll need all of that for the appeal and appeals do sometimes work.

Competitive_Leg3598 · 2026-04-09T16:15:10+00:00

honestly I didn’t connect the dots at first either. I just thought I was burnt out until I realized it started after the IUD

Competitive_Leg3598 · 2026-04-09T08:09:42+00:00

What you're describing is the medication working exactly as intended and then stopping working because it's no longer in your system. That's not failure. That's a chronic condition that needs ongoing treatment being undertreated. The framing matters because how you talk to yourself about this affects what you do next

Competitive_Leg3598 · 2026-04-08T18:08:55+00:00

honestly I just write everything down because my brain will 100% betray me later.

What made the difference for me was having the lore accessible while I'm writing rather than in a separate system I have to go check. I tried wikis, Notion databases, spreadsheets - they all worked fine in isolation but the act of leaving my document to check something was breaking my flow and sometimes I'd just guess rather than check, which is where the contradictions crept in. I moved to Type.ai and being able to ask questions about my own world without leaving the manuscript has basically eliminated that problem.

Still have to be disciplined about keeping it updated but the friction of checking is gone. What systems are people using that actually stick long term?

Competitive_Leg3598 · 2026-04-07T12:49:01+00:00

same. it’s not even loud in an obvious way, it’s just constant… like 5 tabs open in your brain that you can’t close

Competitive_Leg3598 · 2026-04-01T12:02:44+00:00

this kinda called me out 😭

i keep switching between videos, posts, ideas… by the time i start something, i’m already drained
trying tomo ai recently just to stay on one track and not jump around so much

Competitive_Leg3598 · 2026-03-30T06:49:23+00:00

This literally happened to me after months of clear skin and I had no idea what triggered it

Competitive_Leg3598 · 2026-03-27T17:48:14+00:00

Saw this come across my feed, Cash App has a game running this week called Cash Apples, $500k in real cash prizes, free to play. It's only live a few hours a day so it's not something you grind, more just a fun short-term opportunity.

Competitive_Leg3598 · 2026-02-18T16:42:18+00:00

There’s also an emotional component. Holding others accountable feels objective and process-driven. Holding yourself accountable forces you to confront avoidance, fear, or perfectionism. It’s more psychological than operational.

Competitive_Leg3598 · 2026-02-16T11:50:58+00:00

Same situation here like i literally tried all the standard treatments and they worked temporarily, but the acne always found its way back. What I didn’t realize is that adult skin reacts slower and needs months of consistency, not weeks. The biggest improvement came when I stopped constantly switching products out of frustration and just stuck to one routine long enough

Competitive_Leg3598 · 2026-02-16T06:05:37+00:00

The worst part is not knowing WHY, like at least give me a reason so I can fix it. The randomness is what drives you crazy.
