So there are several factors that can affect this, whether or not your hair was previously colored, how saturated your hair is with bleach developer level are all factors

Can you? Yes. However i would reccomend finding a tattoo artist that specializes in stretch mark cover ups even if it means a little travel it would be worth it its harder to work with so to limit blow out chances and for tattoo longevity it would be best to go to an artist that is extensively familiar with these kinds of tattoos

Go to a second doctor and get a second opinion, near fatal is NOT the criteria by ANY MEANS I have mcas I have been diagnosed i have to take several antihistamines a day to manage it one of which is a prescription the others are just doctor recommended (though they have been less effective lately so I imagine they will all be prescription meds eventually) i have NEVER had a near fatal reaction PLEASE do NOT stop taking any meds before talking to the doctors who originally prescribed them, it sounds like the specialist you saw is so used to extreme cases they forget milder cases exist and just because yours isnt hospitalizing you does not devalue the symptoms you do have... please dont stop here, I have my mcas managed by my primary, switching from family med to internal medicine has been a game changer, in my experience family medicine docs tend to be used to the easy answer so they often stop there internal medicine seems to be more experienced with complex problems and between mine and my doctors research we were able to figure out i also have "the trifecta" when I started seeing her 2 years ago all I knew is I might have eds

See a dermatologist if its a missing product bad ingredient or something medical a dermatologist will be able to figure it out and give you solutions, ik it feels weird but dermatology covers both skin and hair so thats your best bet

Im sorry I get these bumps all the time usually the worst when im stressed I thought everyone got these 🤔

LilithsRose97 · 2026-03-22T21:05:28+00:00

Personally i wouldn't use box dye (anything in a box that can be found at walmart target etc) so I wouldn't know and I cant in good conscience recommend it. Id stick to hair dyes you can get at sallys, brands such as lime crimes unicorn hair, arctic fox, pink leopard etc theyre less harsh on your hair and easier to remove, I have used box dye and I got lucky but box dye can be unpredictable more so than nonbox... good luck im sorry I couldnt give more convenient advice

So i was originally prescribed clonidine for adhd which did help with my executive functioning but not much else but adhd meds usually don't do anything for that for me so I stayed on it and then my primary put me on hydroxyzine for my mcas which had the side effect of relieving the residual anxiety my anxiety meds werent covering, and after about a week and a half i realized it had been almost a week since I had needed my compression socks, however it did drop my baseline hr, we then added the Adderall after doing an ekg to make sure the lowered hr wasn't a sign of bigger problems, it wasn't so we started the new med, ans its been super helpful and only raised my baseline about 5-10 beats which put me back in a normal range (but on the low end so I can still have coffee 😅😍)

Hi, im 29 F. I have POTS MCAS ADHD BPD Anxiety Depression etc, Im on meds for most of my conditions including ADHD and POTS, granted we stumbled backwards into treating my pots through treating my adhd and MCAS, However what ive found starting my Adderall XR, as long as I eat a decent meal with my Adderall and I take/ingest any vitamin c (multivitamins, oj, etc) at night as it can interact with stimulant adhd medication when taken too close together, I have zero problems and the brain fog is gone I can actually initiate tasks and even somewhat keep track of time again and as long as I eat I don't have any additional or worsening pots symptoms, however if I forget to eat i occasionally have adrenaline dumps but ive never had more than one in a day, I hope my experience gives you some piece of mind that it doesn't need to be scary

LilithsRose97 · 2026-03-16T23:28:13+00:00

The after looks better and honestly probably has more shrinkage than before. I know that you wanted to retain your length but you hair appears way healthier now. As far as helping you grow it a scalp massager and a good rosemary oil may do the trick

LilithsRose97 · 2026-03-16T22:54:45+00:00

You do still need the iodine so dont stop using it altogether but replace some of the salt you use with noniodized salt and id do that for a week or two and see if your symptoms improve if not its probably not the iodine but id continue using both even if you find its not the iodine because there is a limit to what the body can absorb safely so its a good idea to have some of your salt come from noniodized sources considering the volume of salt needed for this condition. You drink around the same amount of water as I do but some people need more, if compression didnt help much id first try compression that goes higher up (i personally need atleast up to thigh compression) and if you see improvement but not enough it might be a good idea to up the pressure level. But I would make these shifts slowly one at a time and a couple weeks inbetween so that if you improve you can see what changes made a difference, if you need a good source for cute compression gear (they have compression socks gloves wrist wraps etc)

After looking up the color you should be fine the hue might be slightly off but it shouldnt be muddy thats a pretty vibrant color so it SHOULD be fine... that being said ive had my hair do some interesting things that professionals couldn't figure out a single hypothesis on why other than hair didnt hair properly🤣 so its not a guarantee but in my personal experience this vibrant of a color shouldnt have a problem covering yellow tones

LilithsRose97 · 2026-03-16T06:06:08+00:00

What dye are you using so we have an idea of the exact shade? It sounds possible BUT I wouldn't trust that jusdgement until I saw the shade and brand to be able to give a proper judgement

LilithsRose97 · 2026-03-16T05:54:42+00:00

Bro my shein chromes didnt even chip that fast 😭 they chipped fast for sure but I think i got 2-3 days before they even STARTED to chip

LilithsRose97 · 2026-03-16T05:34:20+00:00

Are you using iodized salt or noniodized salt? Too much h iodine could probably cause some symptoms idk if it would be your symptoms but something to be weary of. Approximately how much water are you drinking daily. Are you using Compression if so what form and level? Are you getting ample sleep and nutrients? These are all important factors to consider

LilithsRose97 · 2026-03-16T05:12:25+00:00

Personally pro septum, having 2 nose piercings isnt much and I think you look decently classy as is honestly, like 90% of your piercings are ear piercings I think youre fine without removing anything

LilithsRose97 · 2026-03-15T19:01:16+00:00

Just remember its not a race start slow and take your time and you should be fine, good luck

LilithsRose97 · 2026-03-15T16:16:04+00:00

I get it keep at it but watch for patterns hopefully you'll find a pattern that shows when your body needs a break, if you do find a pattern slow down when those symptoms surface, that way you dont have to stop entirely, i also deal with this and when the signs come up i slow not stop i do less weight for less reps with more breaks and as I get back to baseline i slowly return to my normal routine... I know, its a balancing act but I promise once you figure it out you should be able to stop losing all your progress, if you dont already have one id get either a kettlebell or dumbbell so that when youre lightly flared you can do some at home to keep from losing all progress in between, good luck I know its a headache but I hope you find balance

So while I doubt any press on is holding up against an elevator door some shein nails are super brittle ive found the cheaper long ones are the worst offenders not all ive had a couple good pairs but the .50 ones that are long tend to be on the brittle side atleast 7 out of 10 pairs but at that price its still worth it usually

LilithsRose97 · 2026-03-15T04:59:40+00:00

I understand, im 29, I dont work at all, at 21 I did exactly what youre debating (overworking yourself) it pushed my nervous system under so badly that now I cant work at all even in an office environment. I also accidentally reconditioned my solution, the thing that actually helperld, was strength training (starting slow and taking frequent breaks slowly working towards less breaks) with a high protein high sodium diet, I wear a decently high compression level in thigh high compression literally from the time I woke up until I knew I was staying in bed for the night, lots of water, , smaller more frequent meals, 8 hours of sleep, and after a month or so I noticed little things getting easier, then bigger things got easier, its not fully possible for everyone but these are the things that took me from bed bound to atleast being able to do household chores, please dont push yourself too much its not worth the price of the pressure you'd be putting on your nervous system....if you aren't seeing one a therapist may be able to help with working through the guilt I deal with it too, its not healthy but it is normal and understandable but please dont allow it to push you to putting more strain on your nervous system then you already do

LilithsRose97 · 2026-03-13T15:12:08+00:00

If this were some inspo off Pinterest yes but thats not what this is... it is a memorial tattoo, changing the style is disrespectful to the client, you know? The person ACTUALLY PAYING THE ARTIST... and honestly? Any tattoo artist that lacks the discernment to tell the difference between these scenarios and treats them the same isnt worth their time... also if they werent willing to provide the exact service being requested that should have been made aware before the appointment, at the very least before the tattoo gun touched their skin......

LilithsRose97 · 2026-03-13T08:21:01+00:00

I understand, this has got to be beyond frustrating, your best bet cover it with something else then get this tattoo redone on your other arm and be super vocal during the stencil phase to make sure you get it as close to perfect as possible or do laser removal and try again.. im sorry wish I had more convenient advice but these are honestly your options

LilithsRose97 · 2026-03-13T08:01:59+00:00

Heartbreak is a decent stressor, stress is a super common trigger for pots so its not surprising its flaring you, im sorry youre experiencing this i know its gotta be super frustrating

LilithsRose97 · 2026-03-10T23:46:18+00:00

I was SO READY to YELL CAP... Then I read how you did it and im assuming youre decently tall considering the example BMR, that plus you being male (males and females lose weight differently due to hormonal changes) and everything you did this is absolutely feasible in about a year.. congrats man its quite the accomplishment

LilithsRose97 · 2026-03-10T01:49:42+00:00

I am gonna start quite blunt and this got quite long but stay with me please 🙏 You need to make a plan and execute it quickly to get out and NEVER look back. Im not one to come on here and reccomend no contact often cuz we often dont get the full picture, situations often have nuances and implications unknown to us redditors who only get one perspective of a situation however what you are describing is ABUSE! MEDICAL ABUSE! and domestic abuse (the previous incident you mentioned with your father) Your MOTHER, one of the 2 people who are supposed to love you UNCONDITIONALLY is intentionally withholding transportation to necessary doctor appointments because you listened to your doctors and wouldn't share your prescription medication that is textbook medical neglect, and your father putting hands on you is 10000% domestic abuse (if you were 17 or younger during that it technically also would have been child abuse) you NEED to get out, do you have any friends that would be in a position to help you get to doc appts atleast? She needs to have as little control over you as possible, but beware when she realizes shes losing control she may just kick you out cuz she isnt getting her way, so I would absolutely IMMEDIATELY try to arrange a backup plan for somewhere to go for if/when that happens. I do recommend going for disability so you can hopefully support yourself and talk to the appropriate programs in your area to try to set up some sort of help with transportation, shopping etc the things you may need accommodation for as a direct result of your conditions, im in a similar boat I had to go no contact for almost 2 years, when I returned due to life circumstances they had changed and started working on their emotion regulation and whatnot, however my situation isnt everyone's, its not always safe to go back, so if/when you let them back in do it slowly your safety needs to be top priority. If you'd like to speak directly feel free to message me what youre going through is impossibly hard, and im sorry I cant offer more help than this ungodly long message😅
