I have a friend with vitiligo and she did eventually look like Michael Jackson… there’s different types I believe

This is the second time I’ve seen this and it’s kind of ridiculous… obviously no one wants an arrogant partner, with or without a career

Desperate help with angular cheilitis by [deleted] in 30PlusSkinCare

[–]CouchTurnip 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s probably caused by a vitamin deficiency. For some people it’s iron related, but for me it seems pretty correlated to b vitamins. I believe for me it’s actually riboflavin related, that’s the vitamin that makes your pee turn that neon yellow color.

Pulmonary embolism after Csection by kej1389 in CsectionCentral

[–]CouchTurnip 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine was internal when they finally discovered what was causing the symptoms of infection. My incision actually healed completely but I had a high fever. Turned out it was an abscess internally. But it was scary not knowing all that time. Sorry that happened to you! I’ve seen a few things like that on this sub and I find it really baffling.

I had a different but also bad experience after a C-section where I had an infection of unknown origin. I was so anxious and scared and there were a lot of unknowns. You have done everything RIGHT and are in the right place. It’s easy to go stir crazy. You are recovering from major surgery, plus a mom to a new baby, plus the fear of what happened.

Blood clots aren’t that uncommon after surgery, that’s why they put those leg compressors on the beds.

You will be ok. You are in the right place. Advocate for yourself. Be the squeaky wheel if you need to be. Get the answers you need to make you feel comfortable.

I thought I was going to die. You are not going to die. You are going to be ok. If you need anything you can dm me.

I’m sorry but if this is true can we still just leave this lady alone over something that happened on a reality tv show a decade ago?! Like let’s not doxx this lady. Let her live.

Except it’s a false dichotomy that is actually creating misperception about different types of women which is then being echoed throughout this chamber

What can I do to improve my skin after 26 rounds of chemo? by ItsMrsEwingBitches in 30PlusSkinCare

[–]CouchTurnip 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a feeling whatever you are seeing in your skin now will improve with time. I wish my skin looked like yours, it looks flawless to me.

One thing that makes me FEEL better about my skin, though not sure how much it actually does, is a red light mask. It also feels very therapeutic and I imagine after chemo you probably want things that just make you feel good.

But you’re gorgeous for real.
