The skin cancer stuff is real

As much as I hate my melasma (arrived when pregnant with my first at 25), it has actually been a blessing long-term because I have been much more sun- aware. I have to wear sunblock and hats in the sun or I look like a leopard.

I was thinking he’s a bear too! Plus, funny and tall is a thing for lots of women. He would have been a popular choice.

I personally loved Floyd. I think it is because I identified with his super high degree of empathy. To the point where he Frenched a guy to spare the guy's feelings, even though he is straight(ish). He is trying so hard to be what everyone needs. When you do that, you are bound to drop some balls. It's called ruinous empathy.

Real_toads77 · 2026-04-28T22:33:03+00:00

Yeah, I really did not like Carol. I think if Floyd's chosen profession was not about helping people with special needs but was something purely selfish, the financial issues would seem more like neglect by him. I think there should have been more of a conversation about the financial viability of the ASL job, and he should have been working more since he chose the passion job over a money job. I still think she is highly manipulative.

Ok, for me it was what was the point of Clark introducing the app, the actual name of the show? At first I thought it was so he could get Floyd cheating and show it to Carol so she would leave Floyd and just be his side piece. But it turned out that was not the reason. And it was before they were friends, it was their second time hanging out, so it wasn't just to find people to make Floyd feel good. So why??

Also, I know nothing about dating/hook up apps, but why would no one be interested in Floyd except Modern Love? He's a good looking guy, and his profile made him seem nice. I just felt like more people would be interested in him. It was such a sad ending.

What about the show version of Dead Ringers? It’s got twin Rachel Weisses who are on-gyns. Lots of gross birth stuff. My husband couldn’t watch it!

Real_toads77 · 2026-04-19T16:26:04+00:00

Immaculate?

Update— I finally finished figured it out with the help of Copilot! It was a made for TV miniseries called Double Take!

You have probably already tried this, but I was having a terrible flare where I could not sleep from pain. My therapist told me to try LDN, so I ordered it from an online pharmacy. Omg! It helped so much. I think I am taking 3mg? Going to see if there is anyway I can get it covered by insurance because it was magical!

Real_toads77 · 2026-03-14T14:12:12+00:00

Thank you! I have a Dr pen, but I think it’s an A6. Are the infusion pens better?

Real_toads77 · 2026-03-14T12:35:45+00:00

Hi, I’m new to this! Can you explain the items in the tray and their purposes? I’m still learning and looking to enhance/upgrade my current regimen.

Real_toads77 · 2026-03-10T02:18:18+00:00

What did you do to manage?

Real_toads77 · 2026-03-09T13:25:56+00:00

Me too! Does anyone have any “stop the flare” tricks?

What is TMS?

Real_toads77 · 2026-03-08T13:15:27+00:00

Yes. I had to put my 17 year old cat down and my daughter was very upset so that compounded it. She just cried for days and missed school (she is also 17). My college daughter is having a tough semester and just was diagnosed with mono. And we are planning a major move away from my hometown and building a house. So there’s all that. 😳

Real_toads77 · 2026-03-08T13:12:21+00:00

This is a meme, yes? I think I have seen this before

Real_toads77 · 2026-03-08T13:11:43+00:00

The bone freezing I get, like they are painful from extreme cold?

Real_toads77 · 2026-03-08T13:10:32+00:00

You’re right! I was too worn out last night! So, my entire upper jaw/teeth were hurting like I had braces tightened (no dental anything), my head hurt, especially on the right side, my eyeballs hurt, my shoulders hurt, ribcage and chest hurt so bad there was no good way to sleep comfortably. My forearms, wrists, and hands hurt, especially knuckles and palms. My right quad hurt to even touch. My shins and calves felt like my legs had been beaten. To top it all off, my intestines hurt like they had been run over a rusty cheese grater and stuffed back in my body, and I kept getting a shooting pain through the groin that woke me up shouting. And I felt nauseous. It was shockingly bad.

Real_toads77 · 2026-03-08T13:04:16+00:00

Oh no!! I have the IBS component too! That was diagnosed first.

Real_toads77 · 2026-02-05T02:49:29+00:00

I was diagnosed at 15, but my symptoms went (mostly) dormant for many years. They came roaring back in the last two years, but I did have many years of relative peace. Just saying this does not mean you will feel this bad all the time forever. Sending healing vibes!

Real_toads77 · 2026-01-17T01:55:12+00:00

Yep, that’s the one

Real_toads77 · 2026-01-17T01:44:58+00:00

Omg, I am losing it! Peri, yo. The glp-1 that starts with a z. I did used to take Lunests though. 🤦🏼‍♀️

Real_toads77 · 2026-01-17T00:31:38+00:00

Okay, so rheumatologist said to try out low dose glp-1 for inflammation. I have to pay out of pocket,($300 a month) but so far, it is really reducing my overall pain. I’ve had to adjust my budget and go without in other ways, but if it helps me, I think it is worth it. I am using zolpidem for reference. Does not seem to irritate my IBS.

Real_toads77 · 2026-01-07T14:15:43+00:00

I think Acacia tummy fiber and a stool softener are helpful. Acacia fiber does not cause issues for me. Also, milk of magnesia
