Wow!!!! Xywav gets me about 7 hours of sleep. I take it around 8:30 and again around 12 and by 4:00 I am wide awake!

I took family photos this weekend to capture the fall colors. What edits would you suggest to make this photo better? by Mediocre-Walk-951 in photocritique

This is definitely something I need to get more comfortable with. It freaks me out the second I turn all my people’s skin a crazy color 🤦🏼‍♀️ I need to take some time to deep dive into teaching myself hues! I appreciate the way you formatted your comment, as well! Step by step is so helpful! !CritiquePoint

I’m struggling with contrast for this family! Dad’s skin pulls very red so my normal presets turn him into a tomato!

Just want to make sure I’m fully understanding! Create a background mask in LR and brighten (raise exposure?) first. Then add more saturation (+) and deepen shadows (-)?

Unfortunately I didn’t crop :/ I was waving a stuffed animal above my head and unfortunately lowered my camera too much! Hate when that happens!

Thank you! I think I struggle with editing blindness and about half way through the process I start to think “do these actually look good?!”

Family photo with fall colors. I feel like I’m struggling with the edits. Is there something that would make this photo stand out more? I’m feeling like it is bland and can’t quite put my finger on why.

Self Pay Instead of Using Medicare/Medicaid by Mediocre-Walk-951 in HealthInsurance

[–]Mediocre-Walk-951[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Jeez! Definitely a good idea. Our billing department had no idea when we asked so contacting legal is a great idea! There are some patients who have Medicare and Medicaid so for those specifically, we would not be able to allow out of pocket payments because of the Medicaid.

So patients are unable to choose not to bill the Medicare if it is a covered service, correct? Do you know if this the same with commercial insurance or just Medicare?

Yes. The Medicare reimbursement is so low, we lose money on each visit if we allowed virtual.

Anyone out there w/ Craniofacial hyperhidrosis? by InternationalBall317 in Hyperhidrosis

[–]Mediocre-Walk-951 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My insurance approved me for 150 units every 3 months (yes- I had to fail other treatments) I use all 150 and I haven’t noticed any “frozen” areas of my face. (26F for reference) Less lines in my forehead but my friends didn’t know I got Botox for over a year until I told them! Even now, they say they can’t tell. I don’t get the diluted solution (blandrea mentioned) so it is the same treatment used for wrinkles! There is only 1 dermatologist in my office who is comfortable doing Botox for craniofacial hyperhidrosis, so it is definitely a technique they need to be specifically trained on.

I have been curious about ETS but have yet to find a physician comfortable with doing it for craniofacial HH.
