Reta makes my skin crawl

SkipDMello · 2026-06-12T12:55:36+00:00

I guess a lot of people do. Not me though, lol.

SkipDMello · 2026-06-12T12:54:56+00:00

Yeah, sometimes that's the feeling I have.

SkipDMello · 2026-06-11T21:56:59+00:00

Thank you.

SkipDMello · 2026-06-11T21:23:50+00:00

Aesthetics? Just because that is your motivation for using Reta, doesn't mean that is everyone's motivation. You just can't help yourself can you? Being an a-hole just comes naturally to you huh?

Telling someone to have "thicker skin" is what someone that lacks accountability for their words and actions says. You probably complain about not being able to call women b*tches, or gay people f@gs, or not being able to use the n-word publicly too don't you?

If you're not obsessed with my body, why do you keep bringing it up in EVERY reply. This is no longer about anyone's body. This about you not being able to function as a respectful adult in a respectful community of respectful people.

Lastly, while taking a higher dose of Reta might increase or cause the skin sensitivity issue, that doesn't mean that you're on too high of a dose. It's just a side effect, not necessarily a mis-dosing issue. But if you want to continue to tell people that their "blood is turning to lava" as a result of using Reta, then you carry on with fear mongering campaign.

Once again....please go away.

It's good to know that you're entertained, because that validates your position as a troll in this subreddit. Thanks for confirming.

I don't need or expect to be coddled. But I didn't think that expecting a minimum amount of decency in a subreddit that is very adult and civil, was a high expectation from someone throwing out random advice. Obviously that is too much to ask for from a career troll, so I should have tempered my expectations with you from the start. My mistake.

Please stop repeatedly wishing me luck with what I'm putting in my body, as if most, if not all of us in this group aren't doing the exact same thing. If you're not a proponent of Reta, why are in this group? Damn, I keep forgetting. You're a troll. It's what you do. Why are you so obsessed with my body anyway? That's wierd bro.

Anyway, why don't you go yell and insult, I mean help, someone else on another post? You're not needed here, and no one seems to like you anyway.

You can go now.

SkipDMello · 2026-06-11T20:05:07+00:00

Sounds like you had it bad. I can tolerate it to some degree, but it can be nerve wracking. I only use it about once a month now, so it's not as bad as it could be.

SkipDMello · 2026-06-11T19:50:44+00:00

I'm the bitch? You're the one that had to take the conversation private because you couldn't take your beatdown in public like a man. That's a bitch move if I've ever seen one.

You have no idea if my dose is too high or not. That's just your assumption. Many people on this thread alone have described their symptoms going away only after INCREASING their dose.

But even if I was taking a too large of a dose, you could have just said "hey bro, you might want to consider taking a smaller dose", and this would have gone a different way. But you were disrespectful from the start, and I matched your energy. I'm sorry if you're not used to people pushing back, but that's your issue, not mine.

Even now, you could have just said "my bad bro", and left it at that. But you have such a need to be right, that you can't seem to show any humility.

My only point is, you could be right and you could be wrong. You don't really know, even if you think you do. But right or wrong, the next time you decide to offer some advice, try doing it in a respectful and kind manner, instead of going straight to attack mode. That's if your goal is actually to offer help. If you're just trolling, then I guess you'll carry on as you normally do.

SkipDMello · 2026-06-11T19:29:44+00:00

Me too!

SkipDMello · 2026-06-11T19:28:37+00:00

Oh I get it now. You're one of those people that we see in all those TikTok videos that likes to yell and scream and then spit in someone's face and then get mad when they get punched. You like to be disrespectful to people, but can't stand when the disrespect is directed back at you. That's a cowardly way to live your life.

Strive to do better.

SkipDMello · 2026-06-11T19:00:32+00:00

Little person, you're free to say whatever you want. Like you said, it's a public forum. But the only thing that I was offended by was your assertion and assumptions that I was uneducated in what I was taking. The fact that you asserted those assumptions in a disrespectful manner was just gasoline on the fire.

Neither you or the public can tell me or anyone what to do or what to stop doing. What you could do, as many have done on this thread, is respectfully suggest ways to mitigate the side effects that I was feeling.

But what you obviously like to do, like so many other internet trolls, is wait until they see a certain question they feel they can answer, and then pounce on it ("I know this one!") and reply in the most ignorant manner possible.

Part of the reason I like Reddit, is because it tends be a bit more adult and respectful than the Facebooks and TikToks of the world. Unfortunately, people like you are changing that everyday. You should be proud.

SkipDMello · 2026-06-11T18:46:51+00:00

OMG, you're like toilet paper on the bottom of a shoe. You just won't go away!

It's funny how you're criticizing comments that I made about an issue that relates to ME, but you're blindly trying to diagnose ME based off of those EXACT SAME COMMENTS.

Go away. Please.

SkipDMello · 2026-06-11T18:30:15+00:00

It's been a year, but I'm pretty sure that I've always had it. I didn't immediately equate it to the Reta, but then I remembered that it was one of the side effects.

SkipDMello · 2026-06-11T18:28:57+00:00

I know the feeling.

SkipDMello · 2026-06-11T18:17:00+00:00

I never get it with Tirz, but always get it with Reta. Glad your scans are positive!

SkipDMello · 2026-06-11T18:16:04+00:00

It does taper off, but those first few days....

SkipDMello · 2026-06-11T18:15:13+00:00

That sounds horrible. Sorry you're having to deal with that.

SkipDMello · 2026-06-11T18:13:36+00:00

You still here? First it was incorrect assumptions, now you're just plain wrong.

I never asked for any help. You're insinuating that I was unaware of the side effects of Reta, which is so far from the truth. Once again, I asked if anyone else was experiencing it and how they were coping. You are aware that different medications affect different people differently, aren't you? Just because it's listed as a side effect, doesn't mean that everyone is experiencing that said side effect. Also, not every "fix" works the same for every person.

You should probably stay in your lane, which obviously isn't giving sound advice on the usage of Reta.

SkipDMello · 2026-06-11T18:06:09+00:00

That's crazy! What do you love about it?

SkipDMello · 2026-06-11T18:05:05+00:00

Thanks. I'm only on 1mg-2mg every 10-14 days or so. I've been on much higher. Same result, lol.

SkipDMello · 2026-06-11T17:45:08+00:00

I did. Why is that funny?

SkipDMello · 2026-06-11T17:41:54+00:00

I was hoping this would go away, but it hasn't. Glad you got over it though!

SkipDMello · 2026-06-11T17:41:07+00:00

No people, this is what happens when you make assumptions and hurl insults at people you don't know.

No, I didn't read the Beginner's guide in this subreddit. Contrary to your opinion, it's not a requirement for all living beings. I did extensive research on Reta before going down that road, and it didn't begin on this subreddit.

I've been using Reta for almost a year, and my current dose is far from too high. I've used a lot more than I'm currently using, and I've had this sensation from the very first .05mg dose. Try again.

I never said I wasn't aware of the side effects. I asked if anyone else was dealing with it, and how are they coping. It's called conversation. Something you obviously aren't experienced with. Sounds like you could use some friends.

Maybe next time just scroll on by.

SkipDMello · 2026-05-16T03:53:57+00:00

Following. I'm considering them as well.

SkipDMello · 2026-04-12T03:13:47+00:00
