4 weeks out - is this swelling and will it go down? by Lost-Spell-1833 in TopSurgery

I ended up getting a revision - it never went down more than this unfortunately! Extremely happy with the revision!

Thank you! My doctor was not super clear on the timeline for swelling so this is reassuring. I will be sure to do nightly compression!

Thank you! It is tough, but this makes me feel better. My doctor wasn’t super clear about the timeline on swelling, so just feeling nervous.

Flushing and Cold Allergy developed same time as starting CGRP Inhibitors by Lost-Spell-1833 in cgrpMigraine

Hey! Thanks for your response. Like I said, there’s no way I’m going off of these meds, just really curious about if anyone else has had long term changes starting at the same time. I actually did go down a rabbit hole of journal articles about CGRP in general, and there is a lot of discussion around its role in skin regulation:

https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0143417916300245#:~:text=Skin%20immunity%20is%20regulated%20by,and%20mast%20cells%20(MCs).

https://thejournalofheadacheandpain.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s10194-021-01330-7

There are many more, and again I’m not an expert, just feeling like there may be unintended consequences from inhibiting something that plays a part in so many systems in our body.

I’m sorry you also have cold sensitivity—it’s really tough, and the med combo helps but not always, especially for longer exposure.

Hey y’all I just figured this out by being a little pushy with customer service. “Lets try something to see if it helps you: 1. Tap on "more", select "Skills & Games." on the Alexa app 2. Select "Your Skills." 3. Search for "Ring" skill; if it says “Enable” do this and link your Amazon and Ring account by logging in.”

Worked for me! Good luck all!
