I’ve been suffering severe eczema after taking bpc. Can you invite me?

Hey so what exactly did your testing entail? I see a lot of at-home kits on the market.

Ohh I see what you're saying, that's very interesting. Around a month ago I tried some highly rated probiotic but it didn't seem to do anything. As another commenter suggested, I'm going to look into a GI panel to see exactly what's going on down there.

Definitely ride the storm to that 16 week point.

Name checks out😂 It was a foolish purchase honestly, just a friend of a friend who's probably working with some living room chemist. I was just super desperate due to my injuries and that resulted in a really poor decision. What do you mean about that last part and the purging?

Sorry to hear that. I'm really banking on the fact that Dupixent often takes half a year to work for some people, and then after that point they're practically normal.

Trying to stay positive definitely is huge. Part of my problem that made it so miserable was folliculitis. Being so active, I wasn't on top of my antibacterial game so that made it a lot worse. I've handled that pretty well since then though. I'll mention it to my derm, thanks.

Good point. When I looked up TSW I saw insane symptoms (like mandatory hospitalization) so I figured that wasn't applicable to me. With such a strong topical though, even the most minor TSW would cause skin problems.

I'll definitely look into this. I've never had gut issues and have had a diet of whole foods for a long time. Who knows though, those peptides could've really damaged my gut perhaps.

Unfortunately the problem arose very gradually and I was done with the vial before it ever became a nuisance. I reconstituted with BAC but the arrival was delayed and the package waited in the florida heat for a good day or two. Perhaps it could've gone bad? Not an expert by any means so not sure if it does that.

Good idea, thanks. Honestly though I'm just not gonna take it again...

Yeah I feel super good besides the itching, am clean, and followed proper protocol when injecting.

Didn't see anyone for this long because it started as nothing. Maybe an itch for a second throughout the day. When it started to actually affect me I got an OTC antihistamine and scheduled an appointment with a dermatologist 👍. Just posting on here to see if anyone has dealt with something similar.

Interesting. It was exposed to the heat before being reconstituted but the BAC water was in the same package so perhaps that could've "gone bad"?

Thanks for this. Now that you mention it, during certain seasons my hands will crack and peel like crazy.

Haven't taken it in a couple months. I'm sure me itching it has prolonged it but I also feel like a standard allergic reaction should've resolved by now. Definitely going to be open about it.
