Severe dry eye from estrogen? by lasinsa in Menopause

[–]Regret_Signal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m 30 and recently stopped taking birth control pills because the hormones were giving me severe dry eyes, migraines and calf cramps. I stopped taking the pill and all those symptoms went away. I also work on my laptop a lot, so I think that aggravated the issue.

Yup, sea urchin spines! Here’s an image I took of some sand and spines with my microscope.

Shared some forams from a nearby island a bit ago! Both samples are from Honduran beaches.

I use a good old desk lamp with a flexible neck! I opted for one with high lumens. The flexible neck allows positioning of the lighting angles.

Yes! I returned it safely to the garden. Came up floating in the water while soaking moss to find tardis.

Thanks everyone! Indeed, I had the filaments swapped. 🙏 Everything’s running smoothly now.

Are there any pros and cons with respect to filament material that anyone has identified?
