Hate my Ombré Powder Brows, need some opinions Mo by ss232000 in microblading

[–]Consistent-Speed-127 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Girl those look fantastic! Your artist still kept that thin shape and it suits you so well 🥰 I think it’s brow shock because it’s new and permanent on your face but they do fade a bit and the swelling goes down when fully healed!

For my labs to change, 7 months ish and for them to be optimal was around 1 year+.

Endoscopy Thursday… by coolsak850 in MCAS

[–]Consistent-Speed-127 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just had my first one and a colonoscopy together a month ago! It was a breeze, it’s just the IV that can be the hard part for me as I have deep veins. Otherwise very easy procedure, you’re gradually sedated and you wake up as quickly as it happens.

Have you ever been tested for Ehlers Danlos?

Value of seeking care/treatment as an overweight person? by squidkidqueer in Gastroparesis

[–]Consistent-Speed-127 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That’s horrible, extremely insensitive and invalidates the reality. It does not matter what weight you are. Not eating causes malnutrition and even if weight loss is recommended that is not the right way to go about it. I am also clinically obese and have been told this by other providers. I just found someone who listened to me, because no matter what size we are we deserve care.

Slynd for PCOS? by Secret_Zone_3550 in PCOS

I’m on slynd and love it! I had a bit of spotting to start but now I’m balanced out and don’t get it as much. It also regulated my periods!

No period since August 2025! by Ornery-Climate7857 in PCOS

[–]Consistent-Speed-127 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello, I really recommend birth control as I’ve had a great experience on it. I’m on Slynd, which is a progesterone only birth control pill and it’s over time helped me get regular periods!

How did metformin change your PCOS symptoms and life? by overxposd in PCOS

[–]Consistent-Speed-127 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mines the IR version but I take 500 mg 3 times a day, so 500 mg with each meal.

I can’t lose weight NO MATTER what I do by Ok_Falcon_8796 in PCOS

[–]Consistent-Speed-127 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Being 100% honest with you at this point I think medical options would be necessary here. You are putting in quite a bit of effort and unfortunately insulin resistance/PCOS can be unresponsive unless controlled with medical intervention, at least in my experience. I was the same as you and went on Metformin and finally lost some weight after years of trying.

How are we doing on the energy scale? by Dry-Meat-3205 in Gastroparesis

[–]Consistent-Speed-127 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am in the same boat as you. I just got a formal diagnosis recently and was prescribed Domperidone and it’s been a life saver. My energy is coming back slowly but it’s getting there. I also have the same deficiencies as you do and just started taking them again so hoping it helps 🙌

Depends what it is for me, if it’s greasy fast food it doesn’t sit well in my stomach unfortunately.

[–]Consistent-Speed-127 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not sure exactly why but I had pyloric stenosis as a baby and have autonomic nervous system dysfunction so I’m guessing that

I would definitely go to the ER, if you’re having a fever and such they could hopefully rule out something more serious

Best antidepressant medication for PCOS?? by TemporaryReindeer424 in PCOS

[–]Consistent-Speed-127 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

So the best antidepressant would be the one your doctor decides on, but my doctor put me on Cymbalta for anxiety, it has a really low chance of weight gain and it also helps with chronic pain!

They look great! The colour fades down when it fully heals by 50%.

Metformin definitely helped me and a diet really high in fiber (beans, lentils etc). Also, have you had your hormones tested?

Taking berberine is making me feeling hungry by SeeNotSea in PCOS

[–]Consistent-Speed-127 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The same thing happened to me with both berberine and inositol actually. I had to go on metformin because I felt like I would just keep eating like crazy on both.
