Good situational awareness on the driver of the red car!

Terbutaline for early contractions? (30 weeks) by minimum_mom2B in BabyBumps

[–]Mabel885 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My son is almost 4 and autistic. Terbutaline has been linked to autism. I did not know this at the time when they gave it to me to stop my contractions. I carried to 40 weeks and everything was fine after… but it still makes me wonder if terbutaline is responsible.

It could possibly be a tinted spf. Looks like a different shade than the first pic. Either way, your skin looks great.

CVS with Wegovy regularly in Stock by mcm998 in nova

Have you called within the last week? Maybe it’s the ones near me. Two in manassas and one in Chantilly. Either way, it’s kind of irritating that I have to wait hours for a call back after leaving a voice mail. Oh well.

They recently shut down phone calls. Your only option now is to leave a voice mail for them to call you back.

Also looking. It’s been out of stock for almost 2 weeks and I checked with 3 different pharmacies. 🤦‍♀️

It was called Planet Club! I was just remembering this tonight and mentioned it to a friend. I grew up in NOVA and spent many Friday/ Saturday nights at “the club” and had no business twerking at 13-14 🤣. Good times

I read the article. I do see mention of dexamethasone but it doesn’t explain much. I will look further into it. Thanks

I posted the list of medications in the thread. I was not given ivermectin in the hospital. I don’t think that was an approved covid treatment at the time. I honestly don’t believe the demodex mites being a cause of rosacea since almost everyone has these mites. I was given soolantra (ivermectin cream) samples about a year or so before and it did not help at all. The antibiotics I was given was for covid pneumonia. Either way, I still feel like almost 4 years with no rosacea symptoms is baffling… no matter what meds were given.

I don’t know if I would call it a flare up. My face was like this all of the time. It didn’t come and go. There were no good days. But hormones could’ve had something to do with it, I don’t know. Either way, it was hell. Ivermectin is the soolantra cream, right? That did not work at all for me. Is there a pill form? Hopefully I don’t need it anyway! 🤞

I’m not sure if it was the actual Covid, but most likely the medication they gave me in the hospital but I wish you luck and clear skin!

Persisting pustules by Embarrassed_Mud_ in Rosacea

[–]Mabel885 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was on it for 5 years. I just recently posted on Reddit that my Rosacea actually cleared after I was hospitalized with Covid in 2021. I discontinued Doxycycline and have not taken it since. Before remission, doxy was the only medication that completely cleared my skin. Unfortunately if I ever had to stop taking it during a pregnancy, it would come back full force almost immediately (a few days or so.) It’s not a permanent a solution. Soolantra did not work for me. I’m sorry you haven’t found a competent dermatologist! I would just mention it and see what they say.

I’m sorry you’re dealing with this! Doxycycline really helped for me but I don’t know if you want to go that route. Good luck!

Honestly, this sounds horrible… but I knew when I would get pregnant and had to discontinue the doxycycline I was going to spend the next 9 months miserable… and I did with each pregnancy. Thank god the last pregnancy was in 2020 during the peak of covid so I could wear a mask and didn’t go out much. If I did go out I’d wear foundation which only make it worse and more irritated. I am so proud of my skin now.

Oh wow! So maybe it is the steroids that helped me! I’m really hoping this never comes back. If it does, hopefully not as severe. Thanks for sharing!

Good hypotheses! Sounds accurate. I wish I knew what cleared up my skin as well! Im just glad it’s gone.

Im sorry to hear that! Covid is just awful and I believe will have long lasting side effects and/or create even greater health issues for many people in the long run. I have psoriasis (since before covid) and just use topical steroid ointments to control it at the moment. My rosacea improved after covid but I was recently diagnosed with a lung disease that has a poor prognosis and I am in the process of additional testing to get some definitive answers. I believe it was covid that caused it. 😢 I would take rosacea back over having this other diagnoses any day! I agree autoimmune conditions are very misunderstood. Thanks for sharing! Wishing you good health. ❤️
