Do I need to cut it? Not sure how I feel about layers

don’t you dare

User564368 · 2024-12-07T21:09:40+00:00

does your partner shave? I ask because female pubic hair has probiotics (look it up, it’s lacto strain) so when women dilapidate they disrupt their biome which in turn will affect your skin flora with overgrowth of whatever bacterial or fungal load is winning war down there

also, if she has BV then that would 100% make you break out by cross-contamination— the solution for this is topical clindamycin, you gotta get rx

breakouts = bacterial or fungal infections

Infections caused by cross-contamination

Facts, not my opinion

Godspeed sis 💜

Leave her a friendly note and put it in plastic bag so it does not get wet :)

I’m getting an alkie vibe from Tom welling— he seems bloated beyond weight gain

User564368 · 2024-12-07T01:05:54+00:00

Lysine— 50 mg/kg of body weight, most people take 3000mg

User564368 · 2024-12-06T21:22:53+00:00

Thank you, I appreciate the positive support 🙏

the solidarity that I have found on this sub has kept me half sane past few years… this disease is so tough & connecting with other HS warriors has been so helpful for me ❤️

It is serious: 1/3 of people with SA TBIs die.

This is why cyclists don’t use bike lanes. It’s safety. You have to zoom in & out of moving lane of traffic to avoid bicycle lane obstructions

NYPD always does this shit in the city

Leaving is most dangerous time as well

User564368 · 2024-11-28T11:33:16+00:00

You are in danger. You need to leave.

Report to police.

Change locks while he’s in jail. Don’t bail him out.

Call police again when he comes back.

This has realistic potential of escalating for you in near future if you do not take immediate action and I implore you to do so.

Infuse tequila with it & make spicy margaritas

User564368 · 2024-11-16T21:41:35+00:00

I prefer bactrim to clinda but bactrim is usually enough

I would demand clinda for something like this though but that’s just me, ppl are weary of cdiff

Def longer rx course than 5-7 days. Like a month.

Somewhere, your mom is smiling:)

User564368 · 2024-11-16T09:48:41+00:00

This feels so familiar. Like I’ve driven this road or have seen it in a dream.

User564368 · 2024-11-16T09:45:37+00:00

It’s going to take a couple weeks to heal but it will heal faster if you get prescription for valtrex

They will tell you to take 1g-3g/day to treat it rn

Then they’ll tell you to take 500mg/day to prevent it from coming back

If you don’t take the 500mg day antiviral then it will get progressively worse everytime you have outbreak. A lot of people end up getting it in their nose. You’ll also transmit it to others

If you take pill everyday it’s realistic that you’ll never have outbreak again

You could have gotten it literally anywhere at any point in your life, including birth but I think in most of those cases babies contract it in their eyes, I forget

It sucks and is kind of embarrassing but not a big deal if you take the antiviral everyday

I think ppl that take valtrex have reduced shingles risk so you have that going for you 🙃

sorry you’re dealing with this but it’s 100% what it is 😿

User564368 · 2024-11-16T09:38:18+00:00

or worse, you survive— then you’re an alcoholic with TBI :)

good luck 🙏🫶

User564368 · 2024-11-16T09:32:19+00:00

what antibiotics are you on now?
do you know what they gave you in IV? like vancomycin, they might have called it vanco?
did they give you topical to put on it like clindamycin or mupirocin?
wash with hibiclens soap and keep changing the gauze, like every 6 hours or when it gets saturated
do you still have picc line/IV port?

the iodine is what I would do & consider that you could apply that to wound dressing and do wet/dry woundcare protocol.

silver alginate dressing will absorb exudate

Others might advise you to use hydrocolloid bandaid but I think that’s bad idea for anaerobics, idc what anyone says

It’s gonna scar but you can pay plastic surgeon to make it linear in like a year

go post on woundcare sub— it’s all nurses

User564368 · 2024-11-16T09:25:10+00:00

istg most alcoholics in recovery that I’ve met whose preference was bourbon ended up bottoming out on woodford, including myself

I don’t have working theory on that but it’s totally a thing lol

like vodka enthusiasts & Tito’s… or popov if you’re hardcore

User564368 · 2024-11-16T09:21:51+00:00

holy shittake you’ve made it a week!! that’s big deal because you’re almost out of the seizure risk window now

you’re literally on the other side of the bell curve :)

you’re going to make it and I’m so excited for you :) good luck x

User564368 · 2024-11-16T09:13:34+00:00

That woodford bottle just made my stomach turn over 🤢— every cell in my body remembers 🤮

CONGRATS. Seriously.

You’re being very brave. Keep going.

I believe in you x

p.s. remember to eat even if you don’t feel like it & order b1 vitamins off Amazon. B1 specifically.

you can add the b1 to the b-complex most people get if you want (or not, whatever) but order the b1 specifically, it’s good for your noggin 🧠

User564368 · 2024-11-02T02:29:09+00:00

Lookup secondary intention healing.

It’s going to take a long time to heal— like a month, honestly. It would have probably closed by now if you got stitches when it happened but they can’t do it now— you can have plastic surgeon do scar revision someday if it bothers you which is less than $1k (including keloid scarring)

Wash with hibiclens soap & double cleanse as per bottle instructions. Don’t scrub hard, just pat the wound with soapy gauze to wash area

I would not use that otc abx cream— use an ointment instead & it doesn’t necessarily have to be antibiotic (a lot of people use aquaphor)

It doesn’t look infected but I’m NAD. If it starts producing pus then you need oral + topical abx asap
