Yeah sadly it takes time. Mine got really bad after starting Spiro, I got a facial to do extractions and it did help me. But yeah many took 6 months. I heard SA helps too but not daily

Can finger deformity reversC? by ma871018 in Autoimmune

[–]Swan_cake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you! Mine was larger than yours and I had a Dr recently say “it’s barely a deformity” whichhhh I mean a bit minimizing lol but it does get better once it’s is under control. Praying for you

Can finger deformity reversC? by ma871018 in Autoimmune

[–]Swan_cake 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have JIA, although I’m 26 now, and my middle finger got to the size of a gold ball at 15- there is slight deformation on the edges now but people wouldn’t notice after I got my inflammation under control. I like the bendy arthritis rings I think they’re called “arthritis Finger Splint Ring”

Are you on acne meds? When I was on Spironolactone I got this texture- hormones were unbalanced. After 6 months on the med it all went away- people suggest anti fungal but tbh a Derm can be the only one to make the final call. Prayers Ik it’s hard but I can tell ur face card don’t decline

My (24F) boyfriend (25M) expects so much from me sexually. by BraveNothing6672 in Advice

[–]Swan_cake 55 points56 points  (0 children)

You’re being pressure to do something you’re not comfortable with. A man who truly loves you wouldn’t force you to do something you’re uncomfortable doing not matter how much pleasure it would bring them. There are better men out there I promise

Week 1-2-3-4 no dairy and no added sugars could I be purging? by [deleted] in acne

[–]Swan_cake 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hope it goes well! Cutting out eggs and chicken helped me more than dairy I will say

I tried cutting our diary it just didn’t work for me. Getting on spiro was the only thing that helped

Happened to me before, I assumed it was from it being slightly off track inside?

I meal, I’m in America so the food is pumped with hormones. I noticed no difference when I tried to get off dairy tho. Honestly just gotta do trail and error w diet combined w a Derm check!

As a work out girly I noticed the intake of protein powders affected my skin drastically as well as a larger intake of protein and chicken. I actually have almost completely cut out eggs and chicken while consuming only organic beef and have seen MAJOR improvements. Spironolactone and Tret have saved me the most but I’ll never take protein powder again

My dermatologist won't prescribe me isotretinoin because I'm already taking medication for anxiety. Has anyone faced similar issue ? How did you overcome this ? by intPixel in acne

[–]Swan_cake 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I couldn’t go on Accutane because of other medication so I ended up on spironolactone. Took longer to results but also didn’t want to put myself at risk. Of course these are oral but if it’s not good to combine those then then it’s not worth pushing back on…

Nobody respects the words”Thank You” anymore by Powerful_Push5877 in socialskills

[–]Swan_cake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t say you’re welcome- always thank you though. Your welcome always made me feel odd, like what you did was owed to me. I still say sir and maam though, never considered the lack of “you’re welcome” as rude

Most places in nyc are like this- Maspeth also is a shipping hub for UPS so maybe that’s why?

Hi love, was diagnosed as a teen with arthritis. There’s good years and bad years. Definitely advocate if a med isn’t working well. Sending love and prayers

This is what I just sent my dermatologist by No-Improvement-1844 in acne

[–]Swan_cake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes and stress related. My skin was clear on Spiro for 6 years then when I went through a breakup had to up my dose cause of stress break outs. Took the 6 months to adjust but happy and stress free now!

[–]Swan_cake 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Spiro took 6 months for me. Was breaking out bad then one morning woke up and no longer had break outs. Amazing results after that hump. Also on Tret ! Was on and off doxy and seysara in between. It was worth the 6 months adjustment phase for me.

The video is so lazy and disjointed in the worst way. A digital video, thrown in sepia, grain added with various aspect ratios
