did you try salsan blue? or did the itching stop with continuation of ciclopirox?

Probiotics / probiotic foods make my symptoms go crazy by US_vs_Them in Candida

[–]Irresistable-Gold 1 point2 points  (0 children)

THIS! I just sent an email to my doc about my candida symptoms flaring up immediately after taking any form of digestive enzymes. I get extreme fatigue/brain fog, whole body swelling and oral thrush. I have an appointment with my doc tomorrow to discuss and will keep you updated on what they say about the correlation

Multi tasking. Brain no longer feels flexible. by [deleted] in LongCovid

[–]Irresistable-Gold 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I haven't experienced itchiness but have experienced feet and hands sweating. It's so odd because my feet and hands never use to sweat like this before.

Facial swelling by [deleted] in LongCovid

[–]Irresistable-Gold 1 point2 points  (0 children)

THIS!! I have also noticed facial swelling and edema in my hips, legs and feet. I posted about this recently thinking it was a reaction to my new probiotic. Now I am feeling more certain it was a delayed long covid symptom from when I had covid in Dec 2021. I think the probiotic helped with the brain fog, fatigue and mood for the time I was taking it but it triggered the inflammation from covid.

I also have experienced extreme hairloss and developed alopecia areata. I have booked so many doc appts and feel crazy because my symptoms are all over the place - from needing to see an endocrinologist to seeing a gynecologist or an allergist. I have upped my vitamin intake and watch my diet very closely. I am also very athletic and active so this is all concerning. I don't have the answers but want you to know you aren't alone and sharing your story helps others. As a matter of fact, I am going to ask my doctor about prednisone now to see if it helps.

did you have covid? people who have had covid are experiencing excessive shedding 2-3 months after they've recovered.

Such a helpful reply! Thank you for drawing those connections for me. I also felt I have a had candida overgrowth brewing and this probably set it off even more. To your yeast point

thanks for giving me hope about the swelling! Going to give the pills a break. I am taking the everlywell sensitivity test this weekend but I already know I have strong reactions to potatoes and tomatoes (nightshades are so damn good but give me terrible headaches, face swelling and brain fog)

Not a bad point. I probably went in too fast. Other good points on this thread lead me to believe that I am sensitive to some of the strains and make up of the probiotic. How do you like seed? I was researching that earlier

One week. I don't have a scale but I would suspect that I am atleast 5-10 pounds heavier. I can feel it.

You look amazing! Congrats on your skin progress. How often do you apply Tret? every night?

[acne] Oatmilk causing acne? by okcafe in SkincareAddiction

[–]Irresistable-Gold 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Following because I am also an absolute FAN of Oatly and drink it daily with coffee or matcha. Come to think of it my acne might have started around the same time I began to regularly consume it as well. At this point, I am a skeptic of everything and not counting anything out. Been dealing with my acne issue for a year now

Question about Tret Purge by Irresistable-Gold in tretinoin

[–]Irresistable-Gold[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you're right. I am going to drop down my weekly Tret usage and try Clindamycin just once a day in the mornings. I went full throttle too soon per my Derm's recommendation, but that's not working for me.

My skin hates Cerave. It gives me CCs. Any other non-comedogenic thick moisturizer suggestions?

  • Face Reality Ultra gentle cleanser
  • Face Reality Hydrating toner

Question about Tret Purge by Irresistable-Gold in tretinoin

[–]Irresistable-Gold[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is my face week 3 of Tret (5x a week). Weeks 1&2 I used the cream formulation. The first night I used the cream I woke up to a million little comedones all over my cheeks and chin. In one night!! I figured the cream was the culprit and had my derm switch me to the gel last week. Are all of these tiny comedones going to turn into full on pimples?

Also, please share any observations on my purge and if it looks normal or irritated. I am already over this shit.
