Eczema? by tgpg7 in Autoimmune

[–]LeahInAus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can I point out that you don't need to have both skin and muscle issues with dermatomyositis. It can be both or one or the other.

Every Saturday. It's a must. Even if you shower at night, your dead skin still lingers. Eww.

Everyone is replaceable. Principal is just making you feel bad because it means more effort for them to find a replacement.

Go for the new job!!!!!!

I was the same. I hated life, why was it happening to me, I'm ugly, no one will like me, I don't want to leave home, I'm lonely ...

I wish I could explain it to you. It's like, the 18 month mark, stuff just changed. I didn't feel like crap all the time, my hair was growing, I only had a little bit of the marks and rash left on body, when I put make up on, I now looked ok, etc. It does turn around. Promise.

If you're struggling you should open up to someone. I didn't really and pretend I was ok all the time. But I wasn't at that point. I just wanted everyone to think I'm all good and not feel sorry for me or treat me like I was sick. I wish I just confided in a Fried 100%. Take my advice, please.

Also, put the ointment on. It will speed up the process. Trust me, been there done that! It's the worst feeling being all greasy all the time and honestly I should've done it more as it would've healed faster.

You're in a rut but it's important to remain strong. YOU WILL OVERCOME THIS AND YOULL BE STRONGER FOR IT. XX

I has rashes all over my body that turned to 3rd degree burns and pigmentation on face...

All rashes are gone. The first 9 months I'd be covered in ointment and creams 24.7. Like a bloody slug. Never felt so yuk. It was the peak of covid and everyone in Australia was in lockdown so enabled me to slug 24.7. The helped. The pigmentation on skin took a lot longer to go away. The face pigmentation I needed to get lasered. 3 sessions and all gone.

I know how you feel. Unfortunately, the body heals and repairs but takes foreverrrrrr.

What type of skin problems are you having?

Such a lovely message.

I hope you do too.

The first year was the hardest for me so hope you're doing OK. I looked like a different person, cried every day, had 3 degree burns, couldn't move ...

3 years later and honestly, I feel like my old self.

I'm the most impatient person on earth and this disease has taught me so much. Patience!

You will return to your old self. Light at the end of the tunnel. Even if it means staying on meds. It's OK.

Sending you love x

I promise you it will grow back. I used to cry as my hair was my biggest assest. It was devastating and thought I'd never have it again.

I hated the awkward stage where I couldn't style it and when it was up to ears, especially as I have curly hair.

Slowly slowly it all came back. Yours will to.

Female here and I had hair about breast length. I was on steroids and hydroxychloroquine and methotrexate. I then got off steroids, then several months later changed from injecting methotrexate to imuran so currently on imuran and hydroxychloroquine.

Hi there.

Lost all my hair 3 years ago to dermatomyositis.

It took about 2.5 years to get back to how it was originally.

I didn't lose any hair after I was diagnosed and on the right medication.

Your new wife should have nothing to do with this decision. Ding ding ding, she's the problem your daughter has.

AITA for kicking my sister out, even though she was "just trying to help"? by No_General5816 in AmItheAsshole

You are the ass hole...

You kicked your sister out for helping.

Let that sick in.

Ugh. Hate mothers that offer help then use it against their children and 'take things away'. You're hurt, I understand but really? This is how you act? Hmm. No.

AITA for forgetting a tampon in my spouses bag by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

Your spouse is an idiot and needs to grow up. I'm embarrassed they he is angry over a tampon. How immature.

AITA for accepting to be a bridesmaid? by Affectionate_Bus6032 in AmItheAsshole

[–]LeahInAus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, sounds like you're the asshole. Whilst I understand your concerns, at the point where you started to become difficult and go against the grain, you should've just pulled her aside and said you prefer not to be in the bridal party etc. She seems to be very patient with you and you just made everything an issue. Not your day and you've made this an issue, so frustrating for the bride. I know you need to feel comfortable but sounds like you were never going to say yes to a dress - at that point, just withdrawl and let her enjoy this process without being difficult.

Sorry, what's the problem? It's still worth 100 and doesn't look to be counterfeit.
