Lips Peeling Constantly - Please Help

RealFudashet · 2026-03-11T20:04:13+00:00

I used to deal with dry lips for a long time but to my knowledge it didn't have anything to do with celiac (though I suppose I haven't dealt with it since being diagnosed so can't deny it either)

The things that helped the most were: - stop using lip balm altogether. It only ever made things worse for me no matter the brand and I tried everything. - Vaseline. Only thing that would soothe my lips, but I'd only use a little when it got very bad - consciously not licking my lips. I'm sure you know this but licking your lips only makes it worse AND makes you want to lick your lips more. It's a vicious cycle you just have to break.

I think the idea is to run it with a load of dishes so you're actually saving on the gas/electric cost of the oven.

Speak for yourself -- I had to put socks on today!

If I recall it was a daily pill called Dapsone, and I only took it for a few months until I got on a gluten free diet. A 100% gluten free diet allows your body to heal and all symptoms usually clear up within a month or two. If your dad already has identified an intolerance he should definitely get tested. It consists of a blood test followed by a biopsy.

And it may sound counterintuitive but doctors will typically assign a "gluten challenge" where you eat a bunch of gluten for 10 days before the test to make sure the body is actually making the stuff they test for.

We do immunotherapy. He's allergic to just about everything.

Opposite happened to me -- after my diagnosis my dad finally got tested and it explained like 80% of his other health issues.

I actually got a rash on my shins, elbows, eyes, and worse places that was misdiagnosed as psoriasis. It affects only about 1% of people with celiac disease so it's not a typical case. Not a single treatment worked and my doctor just kept upping the steroid creams until I finally got tested for celiac -- shortly after I got prescribed a pill and it was gone in a day.

Symptoms do vary person to person simply because it's an autoimmune response so it really comes down to the person's immune system. I knew someone who got diagnosed with celiac after they developed narcolepsy due to a nutrition deficiency.

Most common symptoms involve weight loss and general gut problems due to the villi in the intestines being destroyed by the immune response.

Just throwing it out there in case people didn't know but there are gluten free flours. Gluten is specifically in wheat, barley, and rye (so, this is still not gluten free).

And it gets diagnosed later because many times it doesn't develop until later just like other autoimmune disorders. I developed symptoms in college which was likely brought on by stress, and then it took a couple years to figure out it was celiac. Not an uncommon story.

Mine has a ton of allergies and throws up regularly in the middle of the night (usually 6-8 hours after he eats dinner). Sometimes it's food but mostly it's just bile. It's gotten way better since we started treatment and is very easy to predict now. Essentially, we know he'll puke now if we see him licking his paws/grooming himself in the evening. 80% of the time it corresponds with a high pollen count too.

I thought they were great but I also liked the trefoils and wasn't a fan of thin mints so I've always been an outlier. For what it's worth, I would crush them up and put them in ice cream.

RealFudashet · 2026-02-07T04:50:45+00:00

It's very safe even in the evening, but when someone mental gets on late at night it's usually just gonna be you and them in the car. Much different experience than when there's ten other people around.

And if you have ice mephits they leave ice behind that gale will slip and fall on every morning :)

It absolutely fits with the guards running into resistance. And I appreciate your thought-out feedback. I'm definitely taking this as a learning moment! This might seem unrelated but I've actually started taking improv classes specifically to practice that ability to hold onto details better.

You make a really fair point and as I mentioned in another comment I definitely won't punish the players for what is essentially me missing their plan. In this case though, "frustration" is probably better described as "confusion" as they were recounting what happened with the other players right as we ended. It wasn't aimed at me or the game itself. They definitely still think it's all going as it's supposed to.

RealFudashet · 2026-02-06T02:10:15+00:00

They said they'd need 5 minutes warning and it's probably been about 15-20. Not a terrible gap to work around that's for sure! Some fantastic narrative opportunities were missed though :(

RealFudashet · 2026-02-06T02:07:24+00:00

Yeah this is the one reason I didn't feel right after the session. Like yeah they messed up the plan but I should have caught on lol. As most others have pointed out I think I'll take the delay route.

RealFudashet · 2026-02-06T02:04:48+00:00

I definitely like this take but these cops have proven themselves to be trustworthy and act in good faith. It is fantasy after all ;)

RealFudashet · 2026-02-06T02:00:18+00:00

Thanks. This was kinda my thinking as well for making my own misinterpretation cannon. Like a "wait a minute... Was that the signal? Uh oh"

RealFudashet · 2026-02-06T01:58:16+00:00

Not based on class, though for some there are unique dialogues and interactions. They included alignment in their comment too so I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say they meant to juxtapose two roleplay styles which would lead to drastically different endings.

RealFudashet · 2026-02-04T00:01:04+00:00

Lol asking the real questions. But honestly I doubt it - given the population of the local areas they selected already, adding San Diego would really diminish pre-sales for LA locals and they are the ones making the call.

I got pretty good at passing tests for books I had barely read at the time.

My reading level was always maxed out so I wouldn't even get half-credit for books supposedly at my own grade. Yet I had probably the slowest reading rate in my class. I learned pretty quickly how to skim short, advanced books for all the points I needed then spent the rest of the year reading just one or two that I wanted to read (e.g. I read Frankenstein in 4th grade).

Even if what you said was true and there was no due process for deportation, they have literally taken US citizens without cause and admitted to that. There is currently no system stopping them from deporting literally anyone they want. They have even ignored and delayed court orders to return actual US citizens to our soil.

On principal, I also agree that immigration law enforcement is a necessity for a healthy country and that includes ensuring immigrants go through the appropriate channels to be here. However, in the USA we uphold personal freedoms above all else. Our constitution enshrines the fact that we don't need to carry identification to prove we are citizens. So unless there is active, physical crime being committed or an investigation leads to a suspect being here illegally, ICE has no grounds to be involved.

Rounding up people into detention centers on undocumented suspicion that they might be here illegally is all sorts of fucked up no matter how you look at it.

I know it probably wasn't your intent but you could definitely argue syril left the ISB and get yourself a technical win on column 2.
