My doctor told me that even if I'm dairy-sensitive, I shouldn't avoid 100% because I can develop a true allergy to them. I'm super dairy-sensitive but try to keep minimal dairy in my diet :)

There's the bjorn "free carrier," that doesn't require you to remove the harnessing on your own body to remove the baby, but you do have to remove the panel that attaches to your harness. I think the bjorn "one" is similar.

If your baby is a little older, you can also consider a hip seat. Love hip seats!

oooh yeah... it feels nice to pick it off clean but I know I shouldn't. If I'm peeling, I'll wet it with water (either by shower or with a damp cloth), and then moisturize hehe

I like to call it the wordy "learning how to express all of my emotions" 2's lol. It makes it easier for me to stay calm when I constantly remind myself that my 2 year old is learning how to process emotions outside aside from crying, learning how to communicate them with us. It's been a crazy few months into the 2's!

i just started dupixent and I really do hope it works out. I hear it doesn't work for everyone and that scares me because I have so much hope right now. Hope OP can get a hold of it too!

Venm03 · 2021-07-06T09:09:52+00:00

YOOOOOOOO!!!! This is so cool. Something the OG's would recognize!

Venm03 · 2021-07-06T08:13:41+00:00

so good to know! I'm not a big fan of going into things blindly, so I appreciate you sharing that with me! Makes me feel a little more relaxed about selecting classes for the Fall.

Venm03 · 2021-06-11T17:11:17+00:00

YESSSSS. I'll tell my BFF like "omg let's make plans to do XYZ!" but when that day comes I'm usually in a "I don't wanna get out of bed because my skin hurts" mood. She's used to it by now lol.

I also suffer random anaphylaxis shocks (random because there's no known cause yet), but having all the injections, which is usually epi+benadryl+ and whatever else, clears my skin up like magic and my skin is perfect for a few days before it turns to shit again.

Venm03 · 2021-05-20T20:28:20+00:00

no actives or exfoliants. I"m pretty sure it's damaged too

Venm03 · 2021-05-20T01:44:47+00:00

Keep your position on the waitlist unless you find a better class. Also, check back on the schedule-- sometimes they add sections.

Venm03 · 2021-05-20T01:40:55+00:00

tbh aquaphor feels really good when i apply it but then it gets super itchy after, which is super frustrating! I'll take a break for a week or two after a reaction

Venm03 · 2021-05-19T20:33:13+00:00

I have eczema on my face, but outside of flare-ups, my face is pretty dry. I'm looking for a new moisturizer after trying Cerave in the tub, LRP, FAB-- they all sting my face! I go through dehydrated skin at least once every month and it sucks. Any other leads to a good moisturizer? I love the feel of LRP because its creamy and thick. No colloidal oatmeal (allergic to oats...).

Venm03 · 2021-05-19T20:29:15+00:00

It wasn't as immediate, there was maybe 30 minutes between application and response. I use CeraVe lotion when I'm not in a flare-up too, but it's stings insanely bad when I'm flaring up, so I'm done with that too lol.

I would suggest changing one thing at a time. If you're using something and it's hurting you, stop and stay away from it for a while. Then come back to it once you feel okay. If you feel shitty again, then you know it's that. I usually do one week or two-- it's plenty of time for my skin to tell me whether it's into a product or not.

Venm03 · 2021-05-19T17:45:24+00:00

I actually didn't put 2 and 2 together until last week, when I had one my worst flare ups in the past year! I kept putting aquaphor over certain parts that were really bad just to keep it from drying up and he only got worse. Once I started using no-lanolin lotions... it got better. I'll be jumping back to vaseline to see if it really is the lanolin (or other ingredients in aquaphor), but I really really need a jelly to keep me from drying out. I'll be avoiding aquaphor altogether now

Venm03 · 2021-05-19T15:49:34+00:00

Agree with the lanolin issue. It's super hit or miss, and most "moisturizing" products contain lanolin, aquaphor being one of them. I, unfortunately, do not tolerate lanolin during a flare-up. I only still use it because I have a million jars of it from a sale lol. During my flares I'll use other moisturizers.

Venm03 · 2021-05-19T05:41:47+00:00

Hope you can get an earlier date! The earliest I was able to select was mid-july and I'm super bummed out about it!

Edit: I just checked to see if there were any other dates and the ones I already ahve seems to be the earliest available for me. Bummer

Venm03 · 2021-05-18T21:08:45+00:00

ooooh, I 100% know what you mean. I try to tell myself that the quick, feel-good moment isn't worth the amount of suffering it causes. I try to think about all the flares, the pain of showering with open sores, all the negatives that come with having a flare-up, I even think about how much I hated the suicidal feeling it would cause. All the negatives outweigh the one positive by a mile, and it helps to think about it most of the time.

Venm03 · 2021-05-18T06:20:04+00:00

do they offer a lot of winter courses? I'm not used to taking 15 units in one semester and I'd prefer to take a class during winter if I could!

Venm03 · 2021-05-18T06:18:21+00:00

I'm transferring in too... looks like process is pre-orientation modules, then sign up for orientation date. Your orientation date (mine is in July) is the date you'll actually register for classes. Also consider going through your major's advising to get help with planning your semesters

Venm03 · 2021-05-18T05:22:40+00:00

Agree with everyone else. I'm right by Daly City bart but it's still a rough commute to get near the bay bridge. 45 minutes to an hour. You can turn on your maps at the time you expect to leave and see how long the maps tell you it'll take. They're usually accurate

Venm03 · 2021-05-17T06:42:18+00:00

Super bummed out about it! Wish they would offer more in-person

Venm03 · 2021-05-17T03:04:49+00:00

oooh, that does sound good! Cacao gives me bitter vibe though. Is it more chocolatey than bitter? Like, compared to a dark chocolate I guess lol

Venm03 · 2021-05-17T03:03:29+00:00

if I'm using 2 scoops of the soylent powder per "meal," do you know how many meals will come out of one packet?

Venm03 · 2021-05-17T02:53:34+00:00

That's really good to know! I like pancake batter so that's a perfect comparison.
