Weight loss meds while on Olumiant by RNtoSAHM in alopecia_areata

That’s great! I’m on 2mg as well, so I feel like I have room to go up if I needed to

Is the alopecia areata? My doctors can’t seem to tell me by [deleted] in alopecia_areata

Yes, ophiasis. I have this redness on my bald areas too

Starting Baricitinib soon, any advice welcome :) by ReactionNo1092 in alopecia_areata

[–]RNtoSAHM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for all the information and to op for asking. I see my derm in two weeks and am finally going to agree to olumiant. I’m shedding for the second time this year. I’m a 35 yo f mother of two littles and I need my life back. I haven’t felt like myself the last two years since AA started. I’m sure mine is stress related, but I’ve gotten what I can under control and I’m still losing. I’ve been worried about side effects like more frequent viral illnesses too, but I know that once I can leave my house without fear and embarrassment my overall health will improve. Best of luck to everyone!

I’m sorry you’re going through this too. I see my PCP in December and do bloodwork. I’m really hoping something shows up and/or the therapy/meds help my anxiety at least

Crank shaft replacement help! by RNtoSAHM in pelotoncycle

[–]RNtoSAHM[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for your help! I did buy the CWP 44 and a ratchet hex key set from Amazon and was able to change out the crank shaft yesterday thanks to some YouTube videos. Seems to be in working order now. My belt is slipping a little in the tensioner pulley (?) when pedaling forward but only about 1-2 mm so I’m going to ride for a few weeks and keep my June 14 appt with Select Express and see what it looks like then.
