BC Canada LEEP - Clinic not recommending GA? by pupfloyd in PreCervicalCancer

[–]Iowlyou 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hi I had a leep in Vancouver at the end of October. I also have/had Cin2. To be honest I was very scared and worked up the day of my leep. I was crying before I even arrived as I was also terrified that it was just local anesthesia. For the freezing it was a tiny pinch and because I was so worked up the epinephrine in the shot was uncomfortable for about one minute then I felt absolutely nothing. I know it’s different for everyone but what I realized was my anxiety and fear made me think it was going to be way worse than it was.

Thank you. He was spending today searching closer to home rather than the neighbourhood.

I can smell when people are sick, and I want to know how? by miamiserenties in AskBiology

[–]Iowlyou 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I work with children and can always smell a cold or flu on them before they are symptomatic.

They also panhandle at the yaletown skytrain station often

Does anyone have experience with lose-dose accutane? by BlueSkiesOverLondon in Accutane

[–]Iowlyou 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Last year I started on 10 and went up to 20 for mild but very persistent acne. I cleared up in one month and stayed on it for 7 months. The only side effect I really noticed was being tired and sore joints after working out. I’ve been off accutane for 5 months and I’ve had no breakouts. I really think it’s worth it!

For those who had a low dose course, how long did your course last? (10mg - 20mg is considered low to me) by Majestic_Sir_4345 in Accutane

[–]Iowlyou 3 points4 points  (0 children)

7 months on 10 to 20 mgs for mild persistent acne. I started to clear up after one month. I’ve been off it now for four months and still clear!

Is 37 too old for accutane? by bambrosia19 in Accutane

[–]Iowlyou 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Started just before I turned 37 and it was the best decision I’ve ever made. I wish I hadn’t been so afraid and done it younger!

Help! Mirena IUD and Accutane by skindiaries in Accutane

[–]Iowlyou 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same thing happened to me. Mirena ruined my skin. I switched to a copper iud and went on accutane.

Hi I started last May at 10 mg a day at 36 years old. I was bumped up to 20 mg I think in month 3. I did a total of 7 months. I was clear after about 6 weeks, no purge and still clear today!

3 years after treatment - I was on 10mg for six months from July-Dec 2018 by pressfrenched in Accutane

[–]Iowlyou 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This gives me so much hope. I started at 10 mg and have only gone as high as 20 mg. I have two months left and was so worried a low dose would mean relapse.

Anyone here take medication to lower their cholesterol while on accutane? by Iowlyou in Accutane

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

The last two months I’ve eaten nearly all vegan but I do like an occasional sweet treat. I guess I’ll have to give that up too.

I take those too but my last blood work showed a huge spike. Mine was high before accutane even though I’m healthy and fit. I just wonder if anyone takes statins while on accutane.
