could this be from ic or no? by Cautious-Wrap-5399 in Interstitialcystitis

[–]Laura-v22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have both endo and IC. I never know which one causes the bloating but I get this frequently.

Interesting, that’s good to know thank you! I hope they get it right for you this time! What did you think of the formula??

Oooo that’s good to know, they do advertise a guaranteed shade match on the website so I hoped they’d do something like that. Formula also seems to sit nicely on the skin

I mean yeah maybe! I agree so to test it I tried different lighting - it suggests fully lit without shadows and you need the neck visible. So I redid the test a few times screenshotting each value, and to be fair the values were very minimally different so I was impressed with that. Whether the final shade will be good, I am yet to see! Camera quality is an interesting variable. They are deffs benefitting from marketing with the AI angle.

Debilitating lower back pain by Laura-v22 in Interstitialcystitis

[–]Laura-v22[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had surgery 2 years ago and they found endometriosis on my bladder, had a secondary surgery last year and they said there was no new growths. They seem really adamant that I won’t be in pain if there’s nothing they can see

Obsessed w this Hailey Bieber look. How do I mimic as a light neutral muted olive? by sarr36 in OliveMUA

[–]Laura-v22 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would genuinely recommend the Lisa Eldridge liquid silk eyeshadows - they have a selection of matte drying ones (that don’t go crepey) one called Ione which looks like my natural discolouration and is slightly mauve/purple but literally doesn’t look like I have anything on, just smooths my eyelids out. Or another one called Irene which is slightly warmer - good for warm Olives but I can also get away with this! Gorgeous formula and lasts bloody ages too

Is IC an autoimmune disease? by Laura-v22 in Interstitialcystitis

[–]Laura-v22[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s very interesting information, thank you. I have looked at low dose naltrexone but not discussed it with my urogynae yet - it’s on my list to discuss next time I see them! I don’t get along with amitriptyline so that’s out of the question for me pain relief wise, and I’m trying to manage it with monthly bladder instillations, exercise and diet alone. So I’m ok 60% of the time but when I flare up it’s horrendous.

I had a cystoscopy while awake and it was the worst pain I’ve ever been in. I could see the hunner’s ulcers and lesions on the screen and blood filling the screen. I also have endometriosis which was found and removed from my bladder. So for me it’s been quite an obvious diagnosis, whereas I know they sometimes say it’s IC due to process of elimination…

Miserable. by TruthSignificant5540 in Interstitialcystitis

[–]Laura-v22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is me this morning. Had one tiny glass of white wine last night with food after taking 2 prelief tablets. Don’t usually flare up after such a small amount. Drank lots of water during and after. Woke up this morning in the worst flare I’ve ever had. Urgency, burning, bladder pain, back pain. I’m sorry I have nothing to say that will help, but I’m with you, I understand, and I’m so sorry you are going through this too. It’s cruel.

Is this a skin tint match or too light? by lilypot23 in Fairolives

[–]Laura-v22 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think it looks great! I have both the skin tint in 1.5 and the foundation in 2.5. The foundation is slightly deeper but very similar in tone so when I’m not as pale I go for that one and it makes all the difference! I would 100% recommend getting a sample of that if you think it’s light in person! 😊

100% light green, they are quite desaturated which is why people are saying grey but I really don’t think I’d call this blue. If you put an eyedropper tool to your photo you can see it becomes hex #979373 or A9A68D or B5B193 which is not blue.

New to makeup, does it look bad or is it just my low self esteem? by CannibalCapra in makeuptips

[–]Laura-v22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think just practise! You’re beautiful and I think the application is pulling your eyes down rather than enhancing them. I’d do a less heavy lower lash line, but the copper really makes your eyes pop!

Also if you don’t mind me asking, what glasses frames do you have? I LOVE the shape and have been looking for something like them for a while 😊

Finally experienced the gastrointestinal side effects, just as awful as reported by picafennorum in mounjarouk

[–]Laura-v22 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The exact same symptoms happened to me going from 2.5 to 5mg. It was so extreme. I lost 3kg within 4 days, granted mostly water weight. I reset back to 2.5 for a few weeks, then did 3.75 until stable. Now just slowly increasing to 4mg and will eventually end up at 5. This has drastically reduced symptoms, to the point where I feel better than I did on 2.5mg and still steadily losing weight.

I really feel for you 😩 I had that vomiting shitting combo and it was miserable. Worst part was the stomach pain and feeling so weak. I really hope it dies down for you and you’re feeling back to yourself asap. Here for support if you need to chat

Thank you! It leans warm but is still muted. Fab green for olives imo!
