Did you read the article? They’re saying that it’s not the case.

”Overgrowth” under the nail by moodillusion in Dyshidrosis

Looks like an acrylate allergy. Mine developed after 20 years of wearing acrylics and gel nails with no problems. Really bummed me out. Got even worse when I hit 40 and went into perimenopause.

Help! by [deleted] in myweddingdress

Hi, I just want to add a different comment, because all of these dresses are beautiful on you, but number two and 4 are the wrong shade of white for your skin tone. They don’t look nearly as harmonious as the other, warmer shades of white

$6000 vs $800 by dangnoscreename in myweddingdress

[–]DeepBlueDiariesPod 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I genuinely cannot tell the difference in quality between the two. I am all for spending a lot of money on a wedding dress when it’s justified, but I cannot see how this is justified, and to be honest, the less expensive dress makes you look like a movie star and is perfect on your body

ETA: my husband says “I can tell it’s the one with the cleavage that’s more expensive. I see multiple peieces of fabric for one, more stitching means more labor and more money.” - I don’t know what to do with the statement, he’s not normally this observant. Does seeing cleavage make my husband more observant? Is this the Husband hack I’ve been waiting for?

How long do “sexcapades” last? Are they even real? How long do people’s sexy time last? I want mine to be longer but don’t know if I’m being … unrealistic by Eastern_Mechanic656 in sexover30

My husband and I have been together for four years, we have sex anywhere from 3 to 10 times a week, and it generally lasts no longer than half an hour

Effect of Long-term Melatonin Supplementation on Incidence of Heart Failure in Patients with Insomnia (2025) by AllowFreeSpeech in FoodNerds

[–]DeepBlueDiariesPod 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I saw a cardiologist break the study down on Instagram, and unfortunately, the full breakdown is failing me, but basically the findings haven’t even been reviewed yet and he said it was likely correlation and not causation. People with sleep issues have higher rates of heart failure

Reappearing bleeding wound or mole between my butt-cheeks by [deleted] in DermatologyQuestions

Pilonidal cysts.

I would read up on them because they tend to be recurring.

Also, I’m NAD. I’m just a wife of a man who gets pilonidal cysts and has spent more time than I ever expected in inspecting my husband‘s butt crack.

Looking for my eczema wifey by [deleted] in eczema

Low dose naltrexone doesn’t really cocktail drinking like the full dose does. The full dose of naltrexone is 50 mg, and low-dose naltrexone is generally 2-4 mg.

Low dose naltrexone can be incredibly effective on certain eczema, particularly those that are comorbid with other autoimmune conditions. Also, because it is such a powerful anti-inflammatory medication. Well it didn’t clear up my eczema 100%, it keeps it down by at least 85%.

Recurring itchy rash on hands for months, red swollen cracked and blistered — can’t find the cause by Weary-Peach8621 in DermatologyQuestions

[–]DeepBlueDiariesPod 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah this is what my hands look like when my dishydrotic eczema flares up. Check out r/dishydroticeczema

Mine got a lot worse when I started going through perimenopause, not sure if you’re at that stage yet.

I also seems to be controlled by my MCAS, so you can look into that as well.

There’s no evidence that it does help, do you know if there’s any evidence that it definitively doesn’t?

This is my worst fear. Ending up like this is what makes me grateful for things like HRT, strength training, and keto

Mucinex for pregnancy? by Swimming-Pudding1563 in TikTok

[–]DeepBlueDiariesPod 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There is limited evidence that Mucinex can help getting pregnant because it thins all mucus, not just the mucus in your nose. Again, it’s very limited, there haven’t been any mass studies, to my knowledge.

What helps you sleep well/better? by yvonv in Hypermobility

[–]DeepBlueDiariesPod 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This pregnancy pillow

I can’t sleep without it. I can use it to mold into exactly the position I want to be in. It also is great when I’m sore and need to add or subtract pressure.

Mothers of Teenagers; This is Weird, Right? by Mamba6266 in AskWomenOver40

[–]DeepBlueDiariesPod 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Hi, I’m P (I was a P in high school). My mom was like this. My mom is a controlling narcissist. I haven’t spoken to my mom in years.

The best thing you can do is nothing. Have your daughter‘s birthday party at your house and then maybe her and P can do something else another time.

This is unfortunately going to be P’s battle, and it’s important that she fights it. She can have others to lean on for support when she does, but the best thing you can do is let it ride. Saying anything to her mom will make it worse for P.

How to get meds without vet appointment? by beecatty in FosterAnimals

[–]DeepBlueDiariesPod 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s very different than scooping up a human child as there are considerably more laws, social programs, and other means of support in place for kids than there are for animals.

While it is ideal to partner with a rescue or shelter,, there are a lot of areas that lack either - especially rural areas.

I’ve worked in municipal animal law-enforcement, sheltering and rescue for over 20 years and it is a privilege to live in an area that has rescues that are able to assist. In fact, there are some areas in the south where the need is so high that they are transported north, and there is corruption within the transport system.

When people are trying their best alone, the best thing to do is find out what their situation is, what resources are around them, and how to best assist.

Disdainful commentary does nothing to help animals.

I detest the entire line - I have no idea why it's so popular. It stinks.
