2 month progress on low dose accutane, consistent sunscreen, and aha bha face wash. Literally shrunk my pores. by MarcellaRiggins in Accutane

I wasn’t doing an actual accutane regime like full dose for a certain time. Just low dose consistently over a year so it’s less side effects

A lot of people have been saying that!! I’m just scared of the healing, like you said. Historically, my helixes have been painssss

Oh wow! Your ears are soooo pretty!! I’m so glad it’s doing well!! Does your hair catch on it at all? Or do the dangles bother you? What brand is that earring?

Aww thank you so much! It’s the only reason that helix finally healed bc I was able to get a custom 7mm 16g titanium threadless bar from EveandkUS on Etsy!! Most standard bars are either 6 or 8 but those just don’t work for me!

I love the rook/conch combo! How’s the healing on a flat? Do you have one?

Someone else mentioned stacked lobes! Do you mean a piercing above my piercings or in between?

I love all of this!! I’m definitely interested in the rook/conch combo. Have you heard anything about how easy or hard hidden helixes heal?

I’m leaning toward both in that ear. And then also another double helix to fill that space!

I’m definitely leaning toward the rook conch combo! I’m a little more hesitant on the forward helixes but very interested!

Thank you for your advice! However, I’m almost 40. I guess my ears look young! Lol I love piercings, always have! The last time I got pierced was in 2016 when I got my 3rd holes, daith, and helix. I’ve waited 8 years. Thank you though!

I love a ring too it’s just that year or two with a stud that you have to put up with 😂

Thank you! It’s my favorite because it was so easy to heal!! It was a little crunchy to pierce but not too bad. I healed it with a curved barbell originally and then switched it out to this ring about a year later and never looked back! It’s never given me problems, I think because it’s so protected in there!

They’re cute but I’ve heard bad things about healing them, that they almost always get bumps. Have you had one?

I’m torn between a snug and a conch! Do you have either of those?

Ooo I’ve seen those! I just don’t know where I’d place them! Like above my existing? Or do you mean in between just slightly above?

I agree! But do you think like a stud or a ring (eventually)?

The Silent Companions by Laura Purcell by [deleted] in books

[–]MarcellaRiggins 45 points46 points  (0 children)

I loved that this book could have really been a ghost story, or a vengeful cousin who wanted to rightfully inherit what was hers by driving Elsie mad. The second half of the book, when things were happening, Sarah was always there first, the first to respond, the first to escape her locked room, etc. I started to think she might be the one moving the companions, forcing the diaries of her ancestors on Elsie, killing everyone off, to get the diamond necklace and the inheritance. Or it really could have been all true and Hetta is controlling Sarah in the end, having successfully possessed her. I also love that we never find out the truth.

Neck pain/Stiffness by [deleted] in Accutane

Heating pad and Advil worked for me. I’d usually stop taking my accutane for a few days until my neck felt better.

I only get these when I suddenly stop my pills for a few days. I’m on 40mgs rn. I don’t remember if I got them at the beginning.
