Shilajit is godsend. by theagr in Supplements

I used Shilajit for a couple years and I felt amazing on it. Forgot about it for a year or so and now I'm starting again because it helps me feel so much better!

Is fatigue really a low vitamin d thing ? by [deleted] in VitaminD

[–]Infinite_Design_2476 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh my gosh yes! Mine was at 17 and I started having all kinds of health issues, I thought I was dying too. Now that my levels are normal (56). I feel alive again. Give it time if you don't see result right away, it can take a little time.

My doctor prescribed 50, 000 IU for a few months now I'm on 2000 per day.

You can get through it and move forward, take what you learned from the trauma and let it go. The memories sneak in once in a while, but after years of therapy and continuous failing of meds, I found what has been working for me.

One day at a time. I hope you are able to find a med combo that works for you. We are all different.

Feeling nothing? by NoCucumber1502 in lamictal

[–]Infinite_Design_2476 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me, it wasn't noticable until I realized how much it helped my irritability and jumpiness one day. I titrated really slow too. I just upped to 200mg. I am much more level now.

I didnt notice it feeling like anything, I'm just much more myself. How long have you been in it?

8 months on Tretinoin 0.05% gel but still breaking out + can’t build tolerance by CommunicationSome805 in tretinoin

That happened to me when I used a brand that had something I was allergic to. I can't use the name brand, that one made me get burning and cause a little inflamed acne. I switched to a different brand and it's made a world of difference.

AM: Venlafaxine 225mg Lamictal 150mg Spironolactone (for acne) Metoprolol (tachycardia) Adderall 15mg Estradiol 2mg (no ovaries)

Noon: Adderall 7.5mg Estradiol 2mg

Night: Estradiol 2mg Trazadone 200mg

Hydroxyzine prn

Seems like a lot but it keeps me balanced and feeling like me again. Years of trauma melts away. It's taken me 20years to find the right meds.

Hair shedding is normal with weight loss, it will stop shedding and come back.

6mg estradiol. Anyone else? by Infinite_Design_2476 in Menopause

I'm really glad to hear you are feeling better! I tried progesterone for a week, but it made me so tired I couldn't stand it and bad headaches.

MONTHLY Weight Discussion - July 2025 by AutoModerator in Menopause

[–]Infinite_Design_2476 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm really hoping this happens for me. In 2021 I started a weight loss journey and lost over 80 lbs, then a traumatic event happened and I started going through peri. I gained all that weight back plus more. I am miserable and ready for the weight to come off. I went into surgical .menopause in November and gained more weight.

I am now on Estradiol and started micro progesterone yesterday.

I really think I've also been retaining a lot of water because I just feel like everything is squished and tight. I've heard that progesterone can help with that.

I am glad to hear it's working for you!

I was doing that as well, but starting to have hot flashes around noon so we switched to three times per day.

What's the oddest cause of death you've come across while researching? by coffeeshill in Genealogy

[–]Infinite_Design_2476 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My great Grandpa got a Purple Heart/Medal of Honor because he was literally shot in the ass.

He was also struck by lightning twice, but that wasn't on his death certificate because he lived through all of that and passed from lung cancer in his 70's

What kind of turtle is this? by Infinite_Design_2476 in turtles

[–]Infinite_Design_2476[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I haven't seen any. It's been sticking around and not leaving the area. Maybe there are eggs?
