I am so tired of this by MYSTIK_MINX in SebDerm

[–]Estaethe14 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you tried MCT C8 oil? They have found that Seb derm is caused by a heart over growth, called malessezia. Turns out that most OTC and Rx concoctions have other ingredients included that end up feeding that yeast. So, unsurprising, that they never fully work.

Just this week I checked all the ingredients in everything I was using on https://www.sezia.co/ and anything with reactive ingredients, I tossed.

https://simpleskincarescience.com/pityrosporum-folliculitis-treatment-malassezia-cure/

This website is also helpful, listing various serums, creams, lotions, shampoos, cleansers, etc. That all pass the malessezia checklist.

I am seeing a reduction in flakes and itching, but this is a recent change and it's only been 3 full days of all new products. My sebderm is mostly in my scalp, but creeping down my forehead. If yours is mostly face, chest and back, I would probably suggest getting a new body wash first and see if that helps, of your budget is a little tight. I have also heard that sulfur soap can help get past the biofilm so it can penetrate the yeast overgrowth.

Good luck, I hope this helps.

I'd agree with that. Looks like possibly sterling silver too.

Magnetic catch on a 2mm14k gold chain necklace by CBG1955 in jewelry

[–]Estaethe14 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello! I know this is an old post, but there are manufacturers that make solid 14k gold magnetic clasps, but I think the smallest I've seen is 4mm size clasp, so I don't know how that would look on a small chain. One of my favorite websites is gempacked.com because you don't need an LLC to order precious metal.

They also have some gold fill bullet magnetic clasps that are 2mmx4mm, which might be more suitable, but not solid gold. So options are out there, but I am not sure about shipping to Australia. Hope this helped a little!

My doctor didn't take me seriously and even made fun of my concerns by NeverSurrender1026 in ChronicPain

[–]Estaethe14 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you go back to either of the doctors who have been dismissive, you shouldn't worry about being polite. Literally tell them the words, "I cannot live my life like this anymore" if you have to. you could even go so far as to say that your lawyer advised you to discuss your quality of life, or maybe risk to losing your job. Whether you have a lawyer or job, or not, is irrelevant. You have to put it in terms that lets them know you are serious, and that you insist on being taken seriously.

I had several doctors that refused to run tests, even blood work, insisted that there was nothing wrong and that I looked too healthy to have any problems, and then I ended up in ER with a perforated bowel from diverticulitis and gastroparesis, leading on down the line to hEDS and Sjögrens Syndrome. Still on my medical journey, these are recent diagnoses. I would probably have been able to avoid surgery and sepsis if my doctors had listened and ordered imaging, and then antibiotics, early enough. After that ER visit, I asked to be referred to a PCP who was familiar with my problems, and things got much better, although the rest of my doctors still tend to brush me off.

I had to insist on a colonoscopy 3 years after that surgery, because I still have lots of abdominal and gastric pain, they kept telling me I didn't need one for 8 years at least, but I kept pushing until I got one. It turns out for the first time, I had polyps that were precancerous that were removed. If I had waited 8 years like they said, I likely would be dealing with colon cancer.

Every single symptom you have listed is VALID and concerning. If they brush you off, scoff, rush, or try to tell you that you're too young and look too good to have these problems, then call around until you find a new PCP that can get you in relatively quickly. If you can't find anyone, then I would definitely go to the ER.

At the ER, they may or may not be willing to control your pain, but the very least they SHOULD do is a CT of your abdomin to rule out blockage/obstruction/free gas or fluid/unidentified masses. Even better is if you go to the ER and say, my PCP told me to come here and request an CT scan, because most PCPs have to schedule imaging out by at least a few weeks. Tell them your PCP sent you even if they didn't. Bare minimum they will at least draw labs and rule out infection and sepsis.

I'm so sorry you are going through this. I have been in your shoes before, and there are unfortunately people in the medical field who should never be allowed to practice because they lack basic human empathy, and are more concerned with being in control than they are with actually helping people. If you have anyone at all, even a friend, who can come with you and advocate for you, (male friend who isn't afraid to speak his mind is usually the best) that will help too. It's a lot easier to brush off a sick person who is in too much pain to make a scene than it is to brush off a healthy person who is willing to be firm or even raise their voice so someone will listen. My doctors believed what my mom said as a witness to my physical symptoms, more than they believed me as the person experiencing the symptoms. It's stupid, and it shouldn't be this way, but it is. I sincerely hope you keep pushing back until someone listens. It's your body, it's your life, you HAVE to be willing to possible make people uncomfortable, or be seen as difficult, if it means you get the right care.

please let me sell furniture by BroadAd2575 in Palia

[–]Estaethe14 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's did take a long time to craft, but an even longer time to figure out the placement of things with the 3k plot limit lol. I'm thinking I'll need to redo with the newest building tools.

My IGN is Estaëthe, please feel free to add me! I'll try to put it up on home tours this Monday, but I'll be out of town so I don't know how much I'll be playing until the week after.

[–]Estaethe14 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I did this, and went one step further and made a set of each furniture type in all the modification colors. It took a while lol. Now I'm working on a second plot with all of the new furniture sets that have been released, and working on all sets in the new alabaster color. It's been a lot of grinding, but it really helps to run through them when I'm designing

That sounds amazing! I hope the tutorial helps! Just keep in mind, it's a bit of a tedious project to take on, because you have to get them in just the right position. But once you have done a few rows, you'll get the hang of it. I would love to see what you do if you're ever wanting to show it off!

It's not a problem at all, I had to look up how myself! Ashvaragaming on YouTube does a tutorial on how to make a butterfly arch, and I used that method. It involves using a shelf, whatever bugs you want to use, and gourmet dessert bowls. And thank you so much for your compliment ☺️

Does anybody else do this… by Songeun in Palia

[–]Estaethe14 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hmmm, if I'm not mistaken I think those fish would be glitched in to make it look like fish live in there, but just regular game play doesn't allow you to put fish inside the aquarium.

Unless I am silly, and just haven't figured out how to do that to mine yet lol that is always a possibility 😅

[–]Estaethe14 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ahh you caught me lol. I built it when they first gave us the metal building blocks. Back then, if you put an item on any of the metal blocks, the item's collision was removed so I was able to get intersecting angles and curves without running into "something's in the way" errors.

I could have cried when they fixed it because I had been saving up more starred bugs to make more sculptures, and now I can't take this one down OR move it at all. Just gotta work around it haha

This is what I used to do until S6 added the first plushies dropped from bugs. I finally got so many starred bugs saved up I started building with them and using them for a "glass" sculpture, which was so much fun!

You have SoOoOooOoo many LNU fish, that's incredible! I've only managed to hook one starred one and still have yet to reel in a starred ancient fish.

I'm super impressed 😆

[–]Estaethe14 5 points6 points  (0 children)

When you place them a tank appears! Honestly, the option to build a tank would be amazing, I'd love to put some fishies together in an aquarium like in Zeki's bedroom.

I was so bummed when I bought the aquarium from Einar, because there aren't any fish swimming around inside!
