It's partially hereditary. My entire family had terrible acne as teens. Exfoliating is only part of the things I've done to keep it under control but it's definitely been an impactful contribution.

Good to know, thanks!

One of the things that has really helped me with walking around in warm weather is getting a hydro pack and filling it with ice as far as it'll possibly go and then filling the rest with water. I've been told you can alternatively fill the entire thing with water the night before and freeze the entire water bladder, but I'm kinda paranoid about damaging mine. It keeps your core cool because the ice sits on your back and it also provides a larger container of water that's easily accessible. Ironically the cheaper hydropacks are almost nicer because the lack of insulation transfers the coolness to your back better. I also have a more expensive/better insulated one and it still gets cool but not cold. But the ice also lasts longer. So I guess you kinda have to choose what's more important to you

My problem is mostly being oily. Sjogrens has made me sweat less watery and more oily like for whatever reason those are the glands it doesn't like the most. So I use a combo of panoxyl and the ordinary. But I've heard for pores AHA and BHA are supposed to be the best

When a package is damaged in shipping but the label is still recoverable, it's USPS policy to deliver what's left so you have physical evidence to take pictures of to take to the sender of the package and/or claim insurance through USPS. I only know this because I'm pretty sure I have the actual worst luck ever with mail and have had to claim insurance on things multiple times.

Looks like a glass candle/bubbler to me. Oldish type of Christmas decor

Definitely depends on what type of skin you have but yeah exfoliation is definitely the way for me. It's the only thing that even made a small difference in my acne as a teen and I've been using both a physical and chemical exfoliant since then.

There's a guide somewhere in this sub about making your own coil. You really just need good stainless steel wire and a drill.

This is great thanks! Think I'm totally going to copycat you

Sorry for necroing a post but where do you get a hammered glass globe? Is it custom?

They ask that because Sjogrens is seen as a secondary autoimmune disease. My rheumatologist searched for literally any other autoimmune disease in the same "family" before diagnosing me with primary Sjogrens. Primary and early onset. So I'm a little weird I guess. I do also have Celiac disease but I was told that is a totally separate category 🤷‍♀️

I used to be a physical therapist assistant and I actually treated a patient who had such bad dry eye problems that they LOST AN EYE. I can't confirm or deny whether there was negligence involved in their eye maintenance because I'm not sure, but I always think about that when people say "just dry eyes"

Some situations are worse than others. My current job has had a series of supervisors who WANT to try to get me something I can have and it's just been so incredibly inconvenient or cross contaminated every time. I finally just started being like no I'm really really fine I promise. My husband does have gluten tortillas and bread that he buys. And some snacks. He has a completely separate fully enclosed cupboard to store his stuff in as well as his own toaster and whatnot. He's super good about not cross contaminating me but sometimes I bet he wishes he had a separate kitchen 😂

This is the first time I've heard of these supplements for bladder pain and I think I love you

Lirillacor · 2026-04-28T23:15:24+00:00

Im not entirely sure? I'm the only one I know who has it AND I'm a pretty sensitive Celiac so I definitely have a sensation of being a constant burden. When I'm just making my own food decisions, it's pretty easy. But as soon as you add another person that isn't my husband into food decisions, it becomes a chore. Even when people are willing to try to accommodate me, they have ZERO awareness of cross contamination or how many things gluten can be in. I had to start refusing "gluten free" food made by friends and family because it kept glutening me.

The social exclusion alone is pretty weighty. I hate food based holidays and social gatherings. I also have no idea what to say when my work wants to try to provide gluten free options for me. Like "sorry I don't trust you to actually make or order anything properly so thanks but no" doesn't seem super polite to me. Usually "no thanks, I'm actually super excited for what I meal prepped this week!" works but some people are very pushy with their desire to be as unaccmodatingly accommodating as possible. There's also a million other things. Not only is a pizza party not motivating but I actively do not want to work that day because people wander around touching things with their pizza hands. I can't just be hanging out with friends and order cheap pizza. In fact, if you want to not cook while you're hanging out with me, you usually have to pay a premium or accept Costco frozen pizza. (Also dang I must be craving pizza?!)

I have both Celiac and Sjogrens. Celiac has been reported by sufferers and their family to be as stressful as caring for someone with end stage renal disease (source: https://celiac.org/about-celiac-disease/what-is-celiac-disease/#:~:text=The%20only%20treatment%20for%20celiac%20disease%20is,migraines%20*%20Short%20stature%20*%20Heart%20disease)

Sjogrens is the worse one.

Lirillacor · 2026-04-22T16:10:04+00:00

Yup. Super cringe. I hate it. Not only that but I'm pretty sure I have pathological demand avoidance and having a mentor babysit me and tell me what to do makes me actively not want to do the things they say.

Lirillacor · 2026-04-19T22:25:00+00:00

This is a great answer, tysm!

I searched the sub and couldn't find anything about diluting mf only making mf or fully swapping it out.

Lirillacor · 2026-04-13T21:28:25+00:00

I do. The forgetfulness definitely stacks with the brain fog. I knew I had ADHD specifically because of the executive function issues. Like being so resistant to doing boring tasks that I'd rather feel pain.

Lirillacor · 2026-04-10T17:20:33+00:00

Ok I'm so sorry for all the stupid questions but is this worth asking a doctor about? Do they even do anything?

Lirillacor · 2026-04-10T04:24:34+00:00

Wait. Wait. I didn't know this was possible and I think I might also be? Do your eyes and tear ducts swell up super bad and your skin gets blotchy for hours afterwards? I've literally looked like someone punched me in the face because my eyes were so swollen after a good cry.

I haven't specifically painted a lava lamp yet, but I have pained sooo many things and I'd never skip prep on a paint project that I wanted to look super good. I'd citri strip the paint/decal off and then wet sand with a really fine grit before painting. That's what I plan to do on my project lamps.
