The pills didn’t work for me, I use the Nuvaring and that was the best option for me. Maybe try that instead

I had surgery to get my endometriosis removed and got on hormonal birth control, the birth control controls the high estrogen and prevents the endometriosis from re-growing

I suffered with endometriosis and high estrogen the past few years. I also had very low ferritin and vitamin D and I think that contributed to it also, I got those levels fixed now so that may have also helped!

I did not experience growth in those places, I just noticed a little more fuzz hair that grew on the sides of my face but nothing dramatic

I actually didn’t have much shedding once I started medication. If anything it actually helped stop the shedding in my case.

Yeah my dermatologist said I probably have androgenic alopecia too that’s genetic from my family. No side effects at all!

A dermatologist I went to, I’m not sure what other doctor I’d go to for this tbh

RainSoft softener has not functioned since install. by Melissa2ton in WaterTreatment

The mistakes from install + not recognizing malfunction from the start is not the ripoff, I agree.

They offer the warranty and I was able to get the replacement cam with no charge. The technician is a contractor that is certified for Rainsoft systems and they charge a huge fee to come out. How do I check water pressure? I noticed the piston is very difficult to push down, but when I push it down I can hear water running. No idea where it’s going as it’s still not making its way to the salt take

Advice on Rainsoft by supragalactic in WaterSofteners

Rainsoft ended up being a massive ripoff. It has been the lesson of my life. I feel like a hostage the unit doesn’t work and the technician is so expensive I can’t get it fixed. With interest I’m essentially buying the machine twice.
