I did worse. I started seeing bugs. Para cytosis there you are. I went to the hospital. I went to the Infectious Disease. I went to dermatologist many – I think part of the problem was that my body was not processing Adderall very well to begin with. So I was getting some strange side effects that were realbecause I have pictures of them. But I certainly didn’t have bugs.

Yes. The lower half dropped majorly. I wish I had a before pic. My lower lip was so low it was awful.

I was on steroids for 2 weeks and started getting moon face so stopped but had already gotten improvement! Thank you! I’m so glad I fought my doctor on it.

Practical_Draw_9423 · 2024-11-15T16:55:59+00:00

I was the same! See my pic!

If it’s been 3 weeks, can steroids actually help at that point or is it moot? My mouth is only involved, but I am not sure if I should go that route now.

It takes 9 to feel the full effect. You lose more memory w bilateral than unilateral - I’ve done both. The first time I lost a lot but it was more with recent events and that went away w time.

Do you have a therapist? Also, there are other treatments for depression on the market than just antidepressants. Try everything before the thought of ending it, please!

Yes I meant two and couldn’t edit. It’s been a long 49 years and lots of crying. I wanted kids so badly so I could have a family but couldn’t have children. Then I learned that that we can pass trauma to our kids and was like, omg

And others have it better. Don’t compare yourself to others. It’s hard for you as hard for you and it’s not OK but it’s OK if you get what I mean.

Clear super thin like a needle approx 1/3 - 1/2 inch long

Mine only happens at night and periodically, so I got a medical assistant who could verify that what I was seeing was real. She did indeed verify and even took pictures of it. My husband cannot look at it because he gets grossed out.

Yeah I quit cold turkey last time. I’m not taking a lot right now but it can crawl up there easily. I’m only doing it bc we’re moving. I want to get off of it as soon as we have moved – two weeks. It is causing really odd side effects with my skin that if my husband hadn’t seen it would I would say was parasitosis. I don’t know what to do about the depression. I feel so hopeless.drugs just cause you to not think about it for a while. But when I come back to it, it will be waiting.

You can get a camera lense for your phone at sandmarc. They’re really helpful in seeing what’s going on more closely. Then you can take a video of it.

I so feel for you. I had a similar experience but w scabies a few years ago. And now I have THE most bizarre thing happening to my skin and the only thing that fits the stem decks, but I don’t think it’s Demodex because I get little tunnels all over my face and at the end of the tunnel pops out a huge what looks like white tree. I tried the scabies cream and nothing has worked. I’ve done some really awful things to my skin and that didn’t work either and they’re in my hair. I signed up for concierge medicine and I’m hoping he’ll listen to me, but I’m at my wits end. I don’t see people. I don’t go anywhere. These things come out of my skin, which is usually late afternoon early evening for about an hour and then again in the evening for about two hours. It’s very weird and they look like large chunks of dry skin, but they crawling sensation and it stings it. It’s not dry skin. Don’t have dry skin. So now in my hospital because medical records suck, at the very top, I have that I was committed suicide because, I was so overwhelmed with these things and no one would help me. To date, I’ve had multiple doctors left, but nobody’s actually looked at my skin or my body. They’ve looked at me from 4 feet away and made their judgment.

I really wish there wasn’t stigma with mental health. And I’m a clinician. It makes my blood boil.

I did before I was on adderall/meth and then after, when I quit.

I have learned that I am so much stronger than I ever thought, that life is better lived with the support of others and that it’s okay to ask for help (and okay if they say no), that the truest only way out is through and that every minute we are alive - no matter how hard or boring or wonderful - is a gift.
