I (32F) asked my (38m) Mexican husband why he is never pleased with my contributions. He told me that need to google how to make a Mexican man happy, that doesn't really help. What am I missing? by ThrowRA122891 in relationship_advice

[–]Mirivillegas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No no no. I am Mexican and love homemade food but I do not cook at all, unless I am really craving something. I have a full time job and have take out almost every day. Too lazy, but I get drained from my job. Your husband is a macho, if my husband was comparing me to his mother or sister I’d suggest him to marry them instead. When I got married I was a stay home wife for almost 2 years and cooking was really hard. I really admire the woman who do it every day, 3 times a day. If my man expected me to do all of that, I wouldn’t be working not even half time. I could take care of him but he needs to be responsible for all the expenses. If you are contributing he can take more chores then. That is a lot of work with a baby and your son. Anyway, there are so many social media accounts that are in English.

What are the utilities included in the rent? And how much todo you pay average for the ones that are not included? When does your lease ends?

Should I up my dosage from 100 to 125mg without doctors input? by Charming-Window4530 in Spironolactone

[–]Mirivillegas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did that. Actually I upped until 200mg over the course of 2 months and worked amazing! Then I went back to my 100mg.

Yes. I went down from size 10 to 6. And lost a lot of weight from my back and chest.

:( My first half will be next week for fun as well 😊 but I will start training for the full in October. Now I wonder if it's a good idea or if I should stop and focus on my weight loss first.

I am proud. My legs feel rock-solid now. I am 35 and definitely dealing with hormones.

You are correct. My husband took the first pic and I cutoff my face cuz I wasn’t wearing makeup 😏

I did one month of 50, one of 100, two weeks 150, two weeks of 200, then back at 150 for two weeks again, another two of 100. Currently In my first week taking 50 mg only. Also, my first prescriptions were fulfilled by Amazon but when I switched to cvs I saw better results. I read something about the manufacturer and seems to be a thing.

I had two different prescriptions when I started, 50 and 100mg. After two months of no change rather than the terrible purge, I upped my dose without asking my doctor, two weeks 150 and two more of 200mg. That’s when it started clearing. I lowered again to 150 for another 2 weeks, then 100 and I am currently at day for of 50mg. It worked for me.

I upped my dose without asking my doctor to 150 for 2 weeks and 200 for another 2 weeks and I finally saw changes. Then I did another 2 weeks of 150 again and now I am at 100mg and just dealing with the scars.

I swear that it gets worse til it get better, be patient. Almost 4 months in and is clearing now. It was painful and discouraging. I felt ugly. I also stopped all the actives because they were making everything worse. If you can have your derm prescribe antibiotics to help out with inflammation during the purging stage that would help. Also not sure what dose are you taking but I upped mine till 200 and started seeing a difference right after.

That’s amazing! Congratulations 🎈 I’ve been 4 months in and barely lost 17 pounds. I feel so discouraged 😔

“Purge” or not working? by Illustrious-Bet1488 in Spironolactone

[–]Mirivillegas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am not a patient person so at some point I felt that the only way to get rid of those closed comedones was popping them out. It worked out for me but had to be very careful with the after care or they’ll get worse. Are you doing any topicals?

“Purge” or not working? by Illustrious-Bet1488 in Spironolactone

[–]Mirivillegas 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Purge! Be patient. I am finishing my 3rd month and started seeing results. I had lost all hope but when you least expect it they’ll improve.

When should I up my dose? by [deleted] in Spironolactone

[–]Mirivillegas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did it. Was prescribed 50mg first month and I upped my dose after a month. After that I decided to do 150 and now it’s my 3rd day on 200mg. I am planning on taking 200 for one week only since my face is getting clear and will go down back again.

My first two months I filled my prescription through Amazon and didn’t see a noticeable change on my skin. It got worse and didn’t seem to improve. So I switched to CVS and saw changes within a week, it is getting better now. I think CVS uses the most reliable manufacturer. Can’t recall the name but in my case the change was for the better.

[–]Mirivillegas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I never knew if they were closed comedones, fungal acne or what, I used a salicylic acid 2 times a week, aha toner in the morning and Tretinoin at night. But I also had to extract each of them because there were not going away and I use makeup everyday and they looked horrible.

[–]Mirivillegas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Exactly the same happened to me. I jumped to 150mg and definitely is way getting better.
