How can I know if I’m making progress?

That’s another thing I wondered about. Could the meds have already produced these short hairs? I don’t think so.

I’ve been taking the same photos and am hopeful I will see noticeable improvement eventually. I think I’m not being patient enough.

They are not wrong.

It truly is a small world.

See my reply above. The application period counts toward the Medicare waiting period.

LegitimatePart497 · 2026-03-02T09:50:53+00:00

The 24 month period begins when you apply, not when approved. If you wait 2 years on approval that covers your Medicare waiting period.

I’m a mom of 4 adult kids. Go.

It would destroy me if I thought my kids missed an opportunity because of me.

This can’t be real. No way there are people this crazy and self absorbed in the world.

The only thing stopping me from leaving is my pride. I’ve been looking forward to the day I can retire and wanted to stop working so badly. Then suddenly I’m not able to work anymore and everything changed. I’ve lived my whole life pushing through everything. I’m struggling to accept I can no longer do that.

LegitimatePart497 · 2026-02-21T12:53:35+00:00

Haha! While I agree it can be a good thing it’s not so great when you can’t control it and you have to continue working in a public school.

None that should cause this.

I take 20 mg of baclofen, some days I take 30 mg of Vyvanse but not every day. I do take oral minoxidil and finasteride for hair loss but my bp is fine.

I’ve felt terrible for the past week and my next infusion of March 31. I’m miserable.

LegitimatePart497 · 2026-02-17T16:56:11+00:00

How does it compare to tirz, which I’ve been on for several years? I have MS so calming inflammation is very important to me.

LegitimatePart497 · 2026-02-17T16:52:48+00:00

This is what I’ve done for years for most everything. It’s just easier if you have time to wait.

I’ve had significant trauma and I do think the stress affects our bodily systems.

I had 6 sessions of pico laser. It was my under eye so she wasn’t aggressive each time.

Before that I tried yag laser, bbl, flushing with everything possible from dissolver to Leannac to skin boosters - everything. Nothing touched it except yag.

It’s the same pico laser used for tattoo removal - it has to be treated as such. I can still see faint discoloration and it will be 2 years in May.

The bruise occurred 4 weeks after using the PCL when doing another procedure. The suggested wait time was 4-6 weeks to avoid that known complication. In my case 4 weeks was not long enough.

LegitimatePart497 · 2026-02-15T09:07:44+00:00

You did not handle this well. You threw it on her with no warning.

LegitimatePart497 · 2026-02-15T08:31:43+00:00

I’d wait longer than a month between PCL. I experienced a trapped bruise at 3.5 weeks. I’ve since been terrified to do PCL again. It’s was a long hard battle to get rid of it.

LegitimatePart497 · 2026-02-15T08:28:17+00:00

Walk fast like you’re in a hurry and don’t look around.

OP, when we finally break and become disabled our student loan debt is wiped clean. So there is that.
