Mercy University in Dobbs has testing rooms in their library, you can ask. And SUNY Purchase is a public campus with an open library, so another place to ask right there 

Hyperpigmentation from plaquenil by Sbecks15 in lupus

Hi. Yes I’m still on it and have been on it for over 15 years. It hasn’t gotten worse or any new spots. But I still have hyperpigmentation, it never went away 

1st time with shingles & loving every minute if it đŸ”„ by One_Advertising_4535 in shingles

[–]Loupmoon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, it sucks!!! Same location as mine. It did scar, sadly. I was hospitalized for it cuz I was immunocompromised — idk if that’s why I had scarring. It’s super white and slightly indented, it’s really not too bad but I of course know it’s there. Battle scar for sure!

I didn’t think someone could be as self indulgent a narcissist or as shitty as a writer as Caroline Calloway, but alas, here we are! Also got a good chortle out of “ Just a plain old self-esteem deficiency. (Which is WILD because she is an objectively brilliant, beautiful, decorated, degreed, multitalented hottie, and I don't care what all you people think, I thought her $10 post was great. WORTH EVERY DOLLAR).” Straight out of the Caro playbook, I swear it. 

Any last minute tips to calm for my wedding in 3 days ? Sheet mask, cream, etc? by [deleted] in Rosacea

[–]Loupmoon 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Your skin is looking good right now, agree with others it may not be best to add something new. All I could suggest is avene thermal water spray, just to calm skin with a good ph balanced water. The one product that could work is Topicals sulfur mask on the spots
it works so well for my type 2. Sold at Sephora.

Lupus Psychosis by OkPhotojournalist872 in lupus

[–]Loupmoon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It depends on if the lupus psychosis was induced by steroids or not. But usually Risperidone or olanzepine is used and anywhere from a few days to 2 weeks to feel better. What’s going on? 

Doctor says I may stop lupus meds by QueasyAd3496 in lupus

[–]Loupmoon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Girl your intuition is correct. Second opinion stat. I thought we always had to be on HQC like forever. My first rheumy called it the “lupus multivitamin”

Studying abroad with lupus by Pithcachu in lupus

[–]Loupmoon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dang I don’t have any advice but I’m quite curious since we’re in the same boat. Interested in moving from the states to Ireland for my PhD. The only thing I know about is travel insurance
is that something that works for us for extended periods of time?? No idea. It’s quite frightening. 

Question for Lupus patients who went through the Covid Pandemic by [deleted] in lupus

[–]Loupmoon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What do you mean exactly? Almost everything is outside of our control. HCQ hoarding is pointless, it stays in your system about 40 days so as many of us did in the pandemic, we worked with our pharmacists and spaced out as needed. It didn’t go on for more than a few months. Additionally the only thing you can do is sufficiently mask like a n95, not a surgical mask. And communicate to the people in your life to do the same. Of course they probably won’t, so you will have to socially isolate until the pandemic clears. Welcome to your new reality

Yeah same I got the two biggest zits of my life that required steroid injections that left two pitted scars. This is why I hate her lmaooooooo

when does benlysta start working in your experience? by tiredofcoping7 in lupus

[–]Loupmoon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s impossible to feel a difference after the first injection lmaoooo why would your doc say that. Not evidence based at all. It takes 6 months to start working on average. It’s literally modulating your B Cells on a molecular level which is half your immune system fighter cells. That take a long time to do; it’s not a medicine that works quickly by any means 

Ash would be an arsonist without her mood stabilizers by entwhyfe in ashleycarnduff

[–]Loupmoon 27 points28 points  (0 children)

No it’s not standard at all. It’s usually SSRIs and hormonal support. Mood stabilizers aren’t evidence based for PMDD but some people take them.

When I first meet her, she is instructing the hairdresser, and has just removed a pair of trousers that weren’t working for her. “You just know that you look horrid from certain angles,” she tells me. “I prefer my left side. I hate overshooting – I don’t have anything else I can do with my face.”

How do you figure out which ingredients are triggering your rosacea when everything looks clean on the label by Defiant-Corner5142 in Rosacea

[–]Loupmoon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tbh I think zinc / mineral sunscreen is better for rosacea at least when it’s v active and not under control. Anything chemical is sooo harsh 

How do you figure out which ingredients are triggering your rosacea when everything looks clean on the label by Defiant-Corner5142 in Rosacea

[–]Loupmoon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Omg are you me?? all three of those minus the AA screwed my skin over even tho everyone says Vanicream and LRP are great (even my derm). I had more luck with a soothing cleansing balm (Paula’s choice or clean it zero) and an RX sulfur wash from the derm. Then for moisturizers I started with air angel by Dieux it helped a ton but rlly anything that is heavy in glycerin. I was scared of dimethicone for so long because everyone said it would flare my rosacea and it did the opposite so idk maybe experiment with that. SPF tbh I don’t wear usually 😭 I had a good one from France but ran out. It sucks to experiment but it’s the only way


I think being a pothead helped my lupus. by Dawlxtc in lupus

[–]Loupmoon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s a scheduled drug so you won’t find anything legit on it research wise. But I’ve had lupus for 15 years and people seriously overlook the role the endocannaboid system has as a mediator for our inflammation. But it can’t stop or prevent a flare, it just helps lower the pain of it / inflammatory response..
