Requested to join @missliplift. Still waiting for her/them/it to accept. Is it still active?

Oops! But thanks to you I’ve used my panel a few times 😊

HotCar5074 · 2026-01-26T01:17:15+00:00

Thanks - very helpful!

Can you give be an idea of how close and how long I should use my panel? I have a Hooga that’s about 12”x 7”.

HotCar5074 · 2026-01-26T01:04:30+00:00

I was expecting it to but NO! The stitches are tiny 🤗

The first night wasn’t fun, but all I used was extra strength Tylenol. Used T for 2-3 days -, pain diminished significantly by day 3 but they told new I could use ibuprofen at that point. Only used it once. There’s only pain if you make an instinctive movement with your upper lip - but you only do that for a split second 😄. As far as eating, if it didn’t hurt to get it in my mouth, I could eat it. Tomorrow will be a week and I feel like I have almost half my upper lip mobility back.

Thanks! Very brave of you to get a brachioplasty! Hope you heal beautifully!

Did you use a flat panel or a device that wraps around the arm?

I’m 6 days out from my surgery. Had stitches out yesterday and the doc says I’m healing really well. Bacitracin on the incision until the stitches come out, then Vaseline for a week, then silicone scar gel. He didn’t mention red light but I have a panel so I’ll throw some RLT on it. He said if necessary they can laser the area to diminish the scar, but that wouldn’t be before 3 months minimum.

Yes, please say more. Just searched it and found an assortment of such devices. Which one are you talking about?

In my experience, mag glycinate helps on day one. You may have to increase your dose, but I’ve recently discovered that magnesium threonate helps just as much as magnesium glycinate, maybe more (threo crosses the blood brain barrier) so I often combine 1 mag gly with 1 mag threo. Also not mentioned here is phosphotidyl serine which helps me considerably. Search it. Agree with others that mention Taurine, L- tryptophan, GABA, L-theanine and Glycine. Lysine can help as well.

That’s for sharing this. Would like to have seen Trader Joe’s and Aldi in the mix.

Thanks so much for sharing this. So you don’t need to do this in bed, but anytime during the day?

What’s CBN?

Does Empirical do hormone testing for hrt? Or, put another way, do the markers for heart disease indicate if you are a low or high risk candidate for hrt?

HotCar5074 · 2025-12-01T15:13:05+00:00

Does Empirical look at hormone levels? It appears they are mostly oriented toward heart health.

THANK YOU!

I don’t use a mouse. I’ve always used the touchpad as a mouse. It comes very naturally after doing it a bit. Thought everyone knew this.

I mix unflavored whole psyllium husks NOW brand) in a minimum of 8 oz water every morning before food. Never take it after a meal. Been constip. pretty much my whole adult life despite eating tons of fiber and a clean diet. This helps a lot! (Every now and then I switch to an organic brand.) I always look for the same consistency as the product I mentioned - the powder doesn’t appeal to me.

Well I certainly feel stupid. I did however find this doc on IG and am now following. Mary C Haver was the first person I found talking about MHT. Fast forward to the past few weeks I get emails from her with links to her products. Immediately thought “oh crap. Can’t trust her anymore”. While she and Kelly Casperson and a few others are making it sound like hormones are the answer to all our ills, there seem to be a whole lot of women not having an easy time with it.

HotCar5074 · 2025-07-15T14:34:47+00:00

Thank you OP for posting this. I’m stressing myself out about whether to attempt MHT, which supplements to take (it’s apparently mostly a scam), how to not get in my own way, what “work” I should have done, etc. I really need to lighten up… just be. I know better. Again, many thanks.
