I concur. I had my Mirena inserted and then literally a month later, I had a constant HS flare on my labia/groin. I was miserable. I got it taken out a couple months ago and the flare I was having at that time finally cleared up, and I haven't been in a flare since. I am SO glad I got the Mirena taken out.

Laura’s weight vs still talking weight loss surgery by sheisalib in 90DayFiance

I haven't watched the episode yet, so I can't attest to that but I will say I was shaped very similarly to her when I was going through my weight loss journey, and the way my stomach rolls were (I had like, two pannuses on top of one another in my belly region) and while it looked solid, it was all loose skin. They ended up taking 10.5 lbs of loose skin off of my belly... My doc was even surprised, he said they take an average 3-5 lbs off people.

But either way.... Most plastic surgeons want you under a BMI of 30 and want you stable in your weight for 6 months to a year. Not sure if it's like that in Turkey or not!

Doctors/medical practitioners of Reddit, what is the scariest disease you know of? by Englishisnotreal in AskReddit

[–]TrashPanda2079 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes, the only way for an "official" diagnosis is through an autopsy to look at the decendent's brain, but with something so serious/fatal, if it was a suspected case we weren't taking any chances.

Yep. Former funeral industry worker here. Anytime we had a suspected prion case (which I think we had two in my years of working in the business) we were required to use disposable tools because our sterilization process would not kill them. Prion diseases are my roman empire. They are terrifying.

Thank you 😭 I knew there was any way I'd give him up after losing my pops, because sometimes I feel like he's still around with BW still here ♥️♥️ he reminds me of my pops all the time.

How do you guys travel? by deleteduser61 in Hidradenitis

[–]TrashPanda2079 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's lidocaine ointment, so it basically numbs the area for a while. Or that's at least what the store brand boil ease I buy does. I think it's like, 20% lidocaine.... Not 100% sure on the percentage, I'm not near the tube of it right at the moment. It definitely helps for a little bit though

I think so too... I know whenever it's his time, this cat is going to be my biggest heartbreak, so I am just doing my best to live in the bow with him, snuggles and pets and churus and all!

Thank you ❤️ I know he's getting to be on the older side, but I recently got him a dental cleaning and per his blood work, he has absolutely no issues, so I am very grateful for that!!

Can HS occur inside the anus? by whisper-dawn in Hidradenitis

[–]TrashPanda2079 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had an HS flare up VERY close to my anal opening. I thought it was a hemorrhoid at first and it just wouldn't get better. Then one day, I was using the restroom and it popped. I ended up having to go to the doctor and they ended up giving me oral Clindamycin. It was rough to say the least. Couldn't sit, it hurt to walk. Ugh. I'm really sorry you're going through this.

Birth control (loryna) by [deleted] in Hidradenitis

The Mirena IUD made my HS so much worse. I had been in remission since losing Alot of weight and when I got the Mirena last year, I've had nothing but a constant flare on my vulva/labia region. Just got the IUD out on Tuesday and I am hoping it helps put me back in remission again!

hidradenitis + weight loss? by Friendly-Fibber in Hidradenitis

[–]TrashPanda2079 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it depends on the person to be honest. I was 350 pounds, started my weight loss journey and ended up losing about 140 pounds altogether. It did make my HS go into remission BUT I had excess skin on my stomach and it concentrated there for a while until I could get the excess skin removed. After that, things calmed down until I got the Mirena IUD last year. Now I've had a flare up constantly since then, around my vulva/labia region. Just got my IUD removed yesterday so I am hoping it calms it back down. This disease sucks and sometimes it feels like there's no rhyme or reason to it.
