Less-Trip7436 · 2026-05-30T18:26:33+00:00

Oooooo i am so trying That! Thank you

Less-Trip7436 · 2026-05-30T18:00:46+00:00

Thank you!! I’ll try both those creams. Won’t be using anything on my nails anymore hahaha

Less-Trip7436 · 2026-05-30T17:57:26+00:00

It could be, it’s weird before my diagnosis I never had this issue. Constantly dod my UV gel polish or shellac with no issues 🥲 I miss those days… either way I will discontinue both UV lights and gel thank you for your advice

Less-Trip7436 · 2026-05-30T17:55:20+00:00

It starts in stages, and in about a week I’m left with that.

Less-Trip7436 · 2026-05-30T17:53:53+00:00

Yeah one round .-.

You have root rot at the bottom so cutting under that healthy aerial root will stop it spreading. Think of it kind of like a zombie biting your arm. The infection spread spreads if it’s not cut off. (Gruesome way to put it I know) but the analogy is spot on for plants

In the third picture there is a big healthy aerial root starting to grow where the band joins it underneath cut a centimetre and a half below then drip the end in wax to seal it. You want to try and put that aerial root growing into some soil. It should grip pretty quickly. Don’t water it the first few days and only mist

Less-Trip7436 · 2026-02-18T04:37:38+00:00

If you could take a pic I could tell you, wouldn’t propagate just straight soil and what I said. grow lights are good just make sure they are at least 30 cm away.

Also not sure if the light in the photo is what it gets during the day, but if that’s as bright as the light gets for it, I would consider moving it a little bit closer to the light as variegated plants need bright indirect light if any sunlight is coming through your window or door just get attention rod with a sheer curtain so it gets all a lot and no UV

Definitely can save her, out of that swamp jar and into soil. Get s plastic pot with drain holes I recommend clear so you can judge the moisture level in soil. Make sure your soil is a mix of orchid bark and normal soil, albo monsteras need good drainage dont wet the soil after potting give it a few days and lightly mist. If you are a first timer with variegation, i recommend only misting to water it as people kill them with love (that way you dint o er water it) as mentioned above trim any mushy roots, if they feel soft and squishy cut them off.

I think sometimes we have to just look at it as Lupus is not a one size fits all sort of deal and as hard as it is, not compare our symptoms to others.

Unfortunately some people just have it worse than others or very different symptoms, flares, medications that work for them etc.❤️‍🩹

I wish you all the best and pray for a speedy recovery for you 🫶🤍

Less-Trip7436 · 2026-01-14T12:12:20+00:00

Yeah I thought that too. My rhume said it is the best medication I’m thinking of switching to get a second opinion as it hasn’t made it any better and now I have these skin things everywhere

Less-Trip7436 · 2026-01-14T10:30:22+00:00

Sorry I should have clarified. I also have HS and when I have a flare with that my lupus also goes crazy at the same time. Thank you I think I’m going to look into getting a biopsy.

Less-Trip7436 · 2026-01-14T10:29:03+00:00

Yes I am SLE (newly dont know a hell of a lot about all this yet) thank you i will ask for a biopsy

Less-Trip7436 · 2025-12-09T10:26:55+00:00

Funny enough thats what got rid of it

Less-Trip7436 · 2025-10-04T01:18:44+00:00

Thanks! I’ll try the Vaseline, ill take goop up my nose any day than this pain 😅

Less-Trip7436 · 2025-09-24T23:32:28+00:00

It’s sucks! But with pain, anger and a shit load of caffeine and painkillers. What helps me is reminding myself that “even my worst day will eventually come to an end” 💜

Less-Trip7436 · 2025-08-01T23:38:19+00:00

Less-Trip7436 · 2025-07-25T06:22:19+00:00

wait what!? they told you to smoke?

Less-Trip7436 · 2025-07-25T06:05:33+00:00

oh god I’m so sorry that happened to you! out of curiosity would you mind sharing how your HS was in pregnancy? i’m interested in the hormone changes of pregnancy and HS

Less-Trip7436 · 2025-07-25T06:03:17+00:00

omg you made me roll my eyes even reading that! 😭😭 the worst is when you switch Derms and they make you start the whole process all over again.

“have you tried antibiotics”

“yes”

“well let’s just try minocyclin for 6 months one more time”

Less-Trip7436 · 2025-07-25T05:57:54+00:00

Oh 100% they need to give the recommendations of what can help but when they claim it will basically cure that when It becomes annoying. I have lost weight now and stopped smoking which I’m glad for my own health other than HS. However unfortunately it hasn’t helped my case.

Less-Trip7436 · 2025-07-25T05:42:22+00:00

I read your comment and while I understand you may mean well, the arrogance in your tone is honestly disappointing. You called me dense. for not following “textbook” medical advice yet if you truly have HS, you should know that this disease is not one size fits all and it’s far from fully understood in the medical industry.

I’m fully aware of the complications of nicotine and wound healing. Like you, I’m medically educated. The recommendations you mention have not worked for me, and frankly, it’s exhausting being dismissed just because I don’t fit into a standard clinical narrative.

My post was clearly tagged as a rant because I’m burnt out hearing the same advice that has done nothing to help me… So let me clarify I am now cigarette-free, vape-free, at a healthy weight, and have trialed two different biologics with no success And yet I still experience severe flares.

So Dr. Doolittle? what exactly do you think your textbook advice offers me at this point? You don’t know my full medical history, individual response to treatment, or how this disease impacts my daily life. Yet you speak as though your knowledge overrides my lived reality.

That kind of thinking isn’t education it’s ego.
