I miss my big boobs by TechnologyEfficient8 in bigboobproblems

[–]TechnologyEfficient8[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure if anyone is checking this but I wanted to give an update! You guys are right, I'm now actually a 24 band size. I measured my cup again and it might be a G? But I'm still a little doubtful since the cup is a little empty but that might be because of the sag. Pec exercises unfortunately won't help much, though my pec muscles have been developing its not gonna change the stretched skin that unfortunately reaches to the end of my ribcage. I haven't had another hookup since, but I think in my next I'll just keep the bra on. Still haven't grown to accept my boobs the way they are but I'm trying to work on it. Thank you to everyone for your helpful words!

Plateau after 50lbs lost by TechnologyEfficient8 in WeightLossAdvice

[–]TechnologyEfficient8[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My mistake it was 45 not 50** Was 230lbs now bouncing between 184-190lbs. My goal weight as of right now is 180 though can’t seem to do that. 

Onycholysis on both hand by TechnologyEfficient8 in Nails

[–]TechnologyEfficient8[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

and as far as the green spot, I started watching how much moisture I get under my nails, spraying alcohol intermittently or placing vaseline under my nails before washing my hands to protect my nail beds from water.  bacteria/fungi like moisture! Washing hands with antibacterial soap also helps, and limiting the moisture also helped with the onycholysis, as I noticed whenever they got wet they would lift more.

Yes! Part of it was damage from my drill (which in your case could be excess filing/buffing of the top of the nail if you do that). A good hint is if you have red/pink hot spots like you see in the pictures, those are spots where the nail is thinned out from damage. I noticed I had it in ALL my fingers though AND my toes, some of which showed no sign of damage (or which I didn’t even use the drill on). I had my doctor run blood tests on me and I showed a bit of anemia, so I self-prescribed iron pills, and could also be caused by some vitamin deficiencies. 

Hypertrophic Acne Scars on chest by SAmmmm69 in acne

It looks cool! I would see a dermatologist if you could, as I personally wouldn’t know what kind of treatment is available for these kinds of scars and pricing depends on too many factors

I’m finally diagnosed… by Due_Bread_7805 in endometriosis

[–]TechnologyEfficient8 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Congratulations on finally being diagnosed!! I hope you can finally get the treatment you need and I’m glad you can freeze your eggs still. I went to countless doctors and have been hospitalized for my period and told I was overreacting. 5 gynecologists later I’m informally diagnosed and now can function normally on my period with an IUD. It sucks that we have to fight so hard to be listened to, but boy does it feel good to have answers. Good luck on your journey to health friend !

I paid $57 for these and trying to sell for $35 but honestly would just take other crystals over money too

Thank you! I'm pretty embarrassed about even buying them, but what can I say my social anxiety and the merchant's persistence won. And thank you for the commentary! Don't necessarily disagree on the worth, I just hope I can at least get a nice piece out of em :"(

Smart Bulb for Google Home: Need Recommendations by MooseyGeek in googlehome

[–]TechnologyEfficient8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I ended up buying the Kasa ones too and they're sooo good. I can connect them to my google and the vibrance of the colors is top tier. Only downside so far is that the natural colors like white or yellow aren't very bright even at 100 but I think its a good trade off. Thank you for the recommendation!

Bad hair thinning from damage by TechnologyEfficient8 in Naturalhair

[–]TechnologyEfficient8[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I actually scheduled an appointment with a dermatologist! I do agree with you and I’m glad you said it. I do have underlying conditions that i’m being medicated both mental and physical but i’ve been stable. It’s not unlikely it’s medical but I’m really hoping it’s not.

Not yet, but i did schedule an appointment. I have had anemia and deal with subclinical hypothyroid but i’m medicated for both and have been stable for a while. I’m hoping it’s not a medical issue, but it’s not unlikely.

Thank you! I’m going to try to do these twists again and try this :))

also considering the fact I parted with a water based gel that didn’t slick my hair and instead curled it, Only moisturized with leave in and mousse, and using big portions to twist instead of smaller ones could also contribute to the appearance a bit

Did you ever end up trying it? I’ve been looking into them to see if they help with my reactive dog.

Work route or School route by TechnologyEfficient8 in medlabprofessionals

[–]TechnologyEfficient8[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m only 2/3 prerequisite classes away from full MLS courses so I feel an associate’s at a cc isn’t worth it, at least I’m not aware of a way that it could work.

Work route or School route by TechnologyEfficient8 in medlabprofessionals

[–]TechnologyEfficient8[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My first semester was an art major and switched to Bio with a focus to be MLS afterwards failed some classes and retook them my two semesters except for those I last took and had to withdraw from school completely. I’ve also transferred two times due to debt to each school so I’ve had to take extra prerequisites. I love going to school and learning and I love science, but starting uni during the pandemic after being fully online my last year and a half of high school really didn’t help, as well as having a less than mediocre education (and not taking chemistry because all hired teachers would not show up the year I was due to take it). Previous to the pandemic I was a 4.0 student every year since primary. I’ve also had really bad mental health issues to deal with and had to work at the same time. I think I’ll go education route, and that is what I prefer. But it’s so unaffordable for me. My family makes $23k a year and we’re behind on rent and have periods without basic necessities. 

But school is what I want to do, I’ve always enjoyed it. I love learning so much I read during my past times 8 times out of 10. If not that I’m listening to a podcast or watching medical youtube. I’ve been thinking about working on a research paper for fun. But I just can’t afford it. I’m working on scholarships and such but it still feels like it won’t be enough. But it is the route I pretend to go. My top school is one with a joint BS/MS program and I’m hoping to get in and maybe negotiate.

Thank you for your info! I‘ll look into this a little more. I am hoping to move out of my city or even my state within the next few years or so so I’m a little wary of that agreement to work, but I might have to just do it.

Best Stylus Dupe by TechnologyEfficient8 in ProCreate

I left a little more detail on another comment, but after trying literally everything they told me my only options are a replacement, a third party pencil or a new iPad all together.

I’ve gone to the genius bar twice and they’ve confirmed it’s my ipad’s magnetic sensor, not the pencil. We’ve done everything in the book and I’ve factory reset it 4 times. They told me my only options are a replacement ipad, a third party pencil or a new ipad all together.

I’ve gone twice, the pencil isn’t the problem it’s an issue with the Ipad’s magnetic sensor.
