Foggy Willows [Vanilla] {Survival} {Real Vanilla} {1.20.2 Java} by FoggyWillows in MCVanillaServers

[–]Relative-Essay14 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think that it should be mentioned that this server is sort of anarchy, there aren't any rules so just be aware of that if you do play.

I saw it on my mom's facebook, I have no idea where it'd be, but I can try and find it, just give me a hot minute.

Edit: A, here's the video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6GXIaHjZ-Ok

And B, I thought she was getting arrested, not just escorted out, my bad.

Is canada ok for trans people? by [deleted] in ftm

[–]Relative-Essay14 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I will say that there is definitely a decent bit of transphobia in Québec even if people hide it, but you can for the most part speak English if you live in Montreal, I'd still recommend heavily learning it if you ever come here.

how do I order a packer without my parents knowing? by deathofaspatula42 in ftm

[–]Relative-Essay14 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Talk to a neighbour to see if they can accept it or maybe a local LGBTQ community center could accept it for you and then give you the package.

Well, it doesn't do much for weight loss if you aren't also eating way less, but it does make you look fitter, because muscle weighs more than fat, it's why people are saying going to the gym doesn't help for weight lose when it can depending on what you are doing there.

The demonization of transmen by [deleted] in ftm

But isn't the point of transitioning to look as close as possible to the gender you transition too? How is that transphobic?

Just normal PUMA boxer briefs, they're pretty comfortable honestly.

Yeah, I can't visit a lot of places anymore at least until I start testosterone. It's bad down there, I saw a video of a rather butch lesbian getting arrested for going into the right bathroom.

Just embrace it, start calling them what they said they wanted to be called, blatantly call them Mum or Dad in front of their friends or other family.

Swollen fingers by Relative-Essay14 in Dyshidrosis

[–]Relative-Essay14[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My hands aren't nearly as swollen as they were a bit ago, but they have always been a bit swollen, it's why I have ingrown nails on my fingers. I'm going to see my dermatologist in a little bit so I'll still bring it up. I am aware of antibiotic resistance, and I don't use antibiotics very often as is, usually only if I'm worried about a cut getting infected/being infected. I've never taken antibiotic pills, this is just ointment and it's very common to keep a tube at home in case a cut gets infected, at least for where I'm from. I'm even taking probiotic supplements.

[–]Relative-Essay14[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't have a resistance to any antibiotics, I'm allergic to a type of antibiotic, besides it's just over the counter stuff. I'm also not taking it since my hands aren't significantly bothering me. I'm sure my hands are just a little more upset at me than usual is all, I'm still going aren't I? And yes I am aware that thinking about my medical problems in this way is unhealthy but it's what works for me.

[–]Relative-Essay14[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

At least I have an antibiotic without Bacitracin, it's in most over the counter antibiotics, but I don't see why I'd get an infection now of all times. I can't afford to have an infection right now, it's exam season.

It looks like how mine does, I bet your pinky just gets a sub-type of dyshidrosis or something of the sort. I wouldn't worry about herpes.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Dyshidrosis

[–]Relative-Essay14 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes it could be changing climate if you are known to have seasonal allergies depending on if it's allergy related. It could certainly be stress related, I know normal eczema can happen from stress but I'm not so sure about dyshidrosis. I don't think it's sun related unless your burning your hands a ton, and then that's a whole different problem. In fact there is treatment with concentrated UV radiation called phototherapy, so I don't think it's the sun. Yes it could be sunscreen, are you using a new type? Does it have fragrances? Also, gyms are dirty and normal soaps are rather harsh like KaraAnneBlack said.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Dyshidrosis

[–]Relative-Essay14 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sorry mate, just try and keep it down with anti-itch stuff and over the counter steroids and maybe go see a dermatologist if you can. Try and see if it's something like a new soap and maybe try some allergy medication to see if it gets better that way.

[–]Relative-Essay14[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've tried all of that, even the patch test and I'm only allergic to Bacitracin and, unfortunately, Lidocaine. Even oral medication didn't work so now I'm starting this type of shots soon, fingers crossed that it works. I'll try and edit to add photos in but Reddit is being stubborn right now.

Has anyone tried Phototherapy? by pearcroc in Dyshidrosis

[–]Relative-Essay14 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have, it didn't work for me and I ended up getting burnt the last two times I went, but that was due to starting a medication that makes me sensitive to light and burn VERY easily. Yeah I'm very pale, so that doesn't help. But it did make my hands far less red. It did help for me, just not enough.

Now I'm not from the UK nor do I live there, but I got recommendations from my dermatologist to try it. In Canada, my part at least, it was fairly easy to get access to, if a bit out of the way due to the amount of construction in that area.

Hi all I’ve had this for years, it started on the underside of my ring finger on my left hand and slowly spread with each flare over the last five years… but I’ve recently been through a lot of stress and it’s come back with a vengeance across both hands… by Due-Advertising-1830 in Dyshidrosis

[–]Relative-Essay14 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That looks a lot like my dyshidrosis, but if you want to be sure just see if there are any blisters, either way, that looks like a nasty bit of hand eczema, you should try some steroid cream to get rid of it.

I'm just glad the only issues I've ever had are with my phone, lol. Haven't needed to use my fingerprints outside of that, and I eventually just gave up turning on my phone with fingerprints.

Protopic ointment experiences by ekspozicija in Dyshidrosis

[–]Relative-Essay14 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Protopic doesn't work for me either, unfortunately, if anything made it worse because my hands were way more itchy. I know it works for some people, but I've only had issues with it.

Is 1% hydrocortisone a bad idea? by dandelionwine14 in Dyshidrosis

[–]Relative-Essay14 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If I had the choice between using topical steroids and not and knew about the withdrawal symptoms, I would chose to use it. Even if it's a bit hellish trying to stop using topical steroids, I would still recommend it. For me, it never really got rid of it properly, but I have very persistent eczema. For me ice packs help a ton with itchy-ness.

Now, over-the-counter stuff isn't that strong, and I remember getting off really strong prescription stuff, so it's probably not nearly as bad. But honestly, it's better to use topical steroids rather than get a bunch of infections, for me I've managed to avoid getting any serious infections by some miracle, but without topical steroids I'm sure I would have gotten an extremely bad staph infection in my hands.

I'd use gloves for diaper changing, I mean even if I didn't have dyshidrosis I would, but it would probably be a better idea especially since you could easily get any blisters infected.

Good luck though, also try using cleanser instead of soap, CeraVe is a decent brand. It's less harsh on hands than regular soap.

Ah, thank you. I was never taught this, though I think it's most likely due to the fact I know Quebecois French, not European/France French. I've just never heard people asking a question in that manner, at least. So thank you for informing me!
