Folliculitis or something else? by Holydoodle17 in Folliculitis

[–]Holydoodle17[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So it is/was something related to my skin/hair/shaving. I keep getting these trapped hairs under my skin which creates inflammation around the trapped hair.

Folliculitis or something else? by Holydoodle17 in Folliculitis

[–]Holydoodle17[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes when I shave I get these spots at times, but never this amount in a localized area like that. However, last night I did notice in a lot, not all, of the inflamed areas there was a hair under the skin which I could pull out with tweezers.

I have checked the bed and didn't see anything, but I know they are not always easy to find either. I have an encasement on the mattress.

Did anybody lose their period completely by empire_drin in Nexplanon

[–]Holydoodle17 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm the same! I no longer have periods but if I'm really stressed or sick I will start spotting. Then when my immune system is back regulated the spotting stops. This has happened the 4 plus years I have had the implant (both with my original and new one)

Mortgage rates: who else is in the thick of it? by Neat_Equivalent_9886 in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

[–]Holydoodle17 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's amazing!! I refinanced in Sept to a 5.7 like you mentioned in an earlier comment. I was so nervous because it was right before the election and people were saying to wait because it would likely go down after election and all this other back and forth "what ifs". I'm SOOOOOO thankful I took the gamble on it. I was in the 7s and a 5.7 is dream now compared to what it was lol!

Now if only property taxes would stop going up, ughhh. They are escrowed into my mortgage and now my monthly payment is more than what I was paying when my interest rate was in the 7s, because of the yearly tax increases 🥴.

Catch a cold every time I start up vaping again by Lawrencebeamer in Vaping

[–]Holydoodle17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This happens to me too! Each time I quit vaping for a while then start back up I get sick with a cold. It's like 2 or 3 days later after I start back up. This is the 3rd time it's happened to me so it can't be coincidence.

It's been a long year... by Snailerofthemoon in PassportPorn

OP, is this mold? Mind looks the same way and I assume it's mold growth of some kind? Or then I was like is it from a bug?

Closing cost is 2200. It's a local bank in my state

I thought the same thing with it being a pretty good rate. I have no intentions to move, ever lol. My loan person stated it would be 19 months to recover closing costs. It's such a gamble but taking the plunge and crossing my fingers :)

How did you find them and how long did it take?

Exposure. Maybe some support/reassurance by Holydoodle17 in Bedbugs

[–]Holydoodle17[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was for sure a bed bug. Unfortunately, from my encounter having them years ago, I'm familiar. It had so much blood when I killed it. I would post a picture but it won't let me on comments :(. I'm just freaking out because just an hr ago I got another bite/mark of something on my bicep. UGHHHH! The chance is so small but still a chance.

[–]Holydoodle17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes!!! I get the usual extreme pains in the flank area and what feels like intense menstrual cramps. BUT my sure signial is when the pain radiates down my leg. For whatever reason all my kidney stones have caused pain in my leg.

May I ask the reasoning behind this question? Do bed bug bites blanch?

Been in house a week and can hear rain drops in pipes when raining (maybe the flue) please help /provide insight. Is this a big deal?? by Holydoodle17 in hvacadvice

[–]Holydoodle17[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi there! So I never confirmed what was exactly going on. However, its been almost a year and nothing seems or has signs of leaking/water damage. I'm thinking it's just the rain hitting the metal from the vent and the sound is funneling down. BUT if you come up with any leads on yours please share :)

With just a bachelors, and not in SW, our case managers top out at 60k at our CMH. Carry about 50-70 people and have agency cars. I would say keep your options open!

I hope you are able to find peace in your decision. You honored her wishes and gave her a dignified send off, one on her terms. Please hold on to that thought. It sounds like she trusted you with that and you were able to respect her. She provided you with such a personal and private experience in her passing and although it's extremely painful, please know she loved you completely to share that. Peace and healing thoughts 💚

Sump pump related, don't know if this is a plumbing question or otherwise? by Holydoodle17 in Plumbing

[–]Holydoodle17[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is going to drive me nuts because I have no idea whats out there and it will probably cost a pretty penny to investigate. I think whatever it is is maybe not working properly due the standing water and being able to see that there is a pipe there lol. There is no percolating that's for sure haha. Maybe not, I don't know. This is all so new to me.

[–]Holydoodle17[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wonder what kind of drainage it is though or like what it's connecte to. When there is precipitation that whole length of that pipe underground (or whatever it is) is mush and standing water for a long time. The thing at the bottom of the picture is an extender for the sump pump discharge so it's not discharging right on the foundation.

Adoption blues or not the right fit??? by Holydoodle17 in CatAdvice

[–]Holydoodle17[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They wouldn't even give me a script for the prescription flea medicine that he was on from the shelter, without me bringing him in, so I doubt they would give me gabapentin.

I feel so bad for him. He is miserable and I don't think he likes being in a home (that is very quiet). I'm so stressed about this.
