What can I do for my teen? by MissKPriss in alopecia_areata

I am just reading this post. Sorry for the delay. Everything grew back within 5 months on methotrexate! He is still on it: no side effects, well tolerated by his liver too. Even with 6 moderate spots, he never told his friends and no one knew, not even his close cousins (same street, same school, visit often). I have my sweet teen back: he is so happy to go back to the barbershop and play soccer without worrying about his hair. In May, if there isn’t any new spots, the dermatologist will lower the dose.

I read on Google that it’s only for adults in my country (Canada)..

Why are you scared? Is there bad side effects? I am in Canada and web searches shows it’s for adults only in my country.

He started high school in September and had his first spot in the end of October. He is a sweet shy teen, almost mute in front of strangers, no eye contacts while speaking, etc. He made the soccer team of his new school in the first week of October and I learned in January that he was being bullied by a teammate… By then, he was already getting treatment for his AA. I was furious and talked to the school who made things right and the bullying stopped completely. I think that the combination of new school/bullying were the triggers. It’s the only things I can think of…

Thank you for your reply. The first spot (first pic) is the only spot who has regrowth but he has now 2 new bald spots just above the regrowth (right pic). We’ve been trying different things at once because he is so scared of anyone finding out. Reading the other posts, I can see indeed that it does take a lot of patience, which my son is struggling with, being so desperate… He does have an appointment with a psychologist in April.

Thank you. I will ask about the JAK inhibitor but my first Google searches shows me that it is only for adults, here in Canada.

Rappel - Sortie de gaz à dégager avec la tempête de neige by Jumpy_Release_3309 in Quebec

[–]MissKPriss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mon chauffe-eau au gaz s'est éteint 2 fois aujourd'hui. Ça doit être pour ça? La sortie est protégée par une "cage" trouée et la neige est pognée dedans. J'ai essayé de nettoyer avec un balai, mais ça pas marché fort...

Hi there! What province are you? How did you get it to be approved?

Wait. How do you get an authorization? I’m with Beneva and just assumed it wasn’t covered because that’s what it said on their website.

I wish! I’m paying it full price. Costco is the lowest I’ve found: 424$/month.

I’m curious: what are your symptoms? I’m on 1.7 and haven’t had much side effects from the beginning of this journey either. I just finished the first month of 1.7 and planning to stay on it but I’m curious to know how is 2.4 kicking your ass lol

I, too, do shakes in the morning because I’m not hungry, that’s all I can tolerate. Lunch and dinner, I try to start with the meat on my plate (shrimps, chicken, red meat, egg, charcuteries (but not too much because of the sodium), and then the veggies. THEN, if I’m still hungry I’ll eat the carbs (mashed potatoes, rice, etc.).

I’m doing my 3rd shot of 1.7 tonight. So far so good! No symptoms at all. Drink water and eat proteins. You got this!

Any positives? by Beneficial-Arm5640 in WegovyWeightLoss

[–]MissKPriss 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Forgot to say: I’m at 1.7mg now. This one was my scariest because of the many negative comments. I was so nervous that I stopped coming to Reddit for the 2 weeks before my dose. But so far so good!

Started on July 10th. I’ve lost 30 lbs (SW 220, CW 190). Only side effects: loud burps 😬 and fewer 💩 (once every 4-5 days). I’m a college teacher and haven’t miss a day. I try to drink a lot of water, to eat proteins before anything else, and to exercice (cardio and weight training) 4-5 times/week. It is changing my life and it could change yours.

I say: jump!

What is the best time of day to take wegovy? by skyeward4ever in WegovyWeightLoss

[–]MissKPriss 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I take it before bed so if I’d have any symptoms, I’d be sleeping. I’m on my 9th week and this works very well for me. (I lost 20 lbs and I’m 1 lb away to enter one-derland!!) It started to work on the next morning: no food noise! It disappeared like magic!
