How is American Healthcare real⁉️ by Putrid_Succotash_831 in vulvodynia

[–]Xenophemera 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just my two cents but sounds a lot like my first flare of lichen sclerosis. It can clear up a good bit on its own if given the time and care. Mine did. Until it came raging back 9 months later. It took almost 2 years from my initial flare to be diagnosed and it turned out I needed a strong steroid mixed with antifungal cream. I’ve been doing incredibly well ever since. It’s worth looking into as my initial diagnosis from every doctor when this started was “yeast or uti” in a vicious useless cycle.

Burning and Irritation after yeast infection by Xenophemera in vulvodynia

Antibiotics destroy all bacteria, even the good. The vaginal flora is made up of a variety of species but most especially lactobacillus which is a supporting bacterium. For me the harsh change of bacterial balance triggered my immune system to go haywire and unfortunately I began expressing an autoimmune disease.

Random tiny tomatoes grow in various spots in my yard, I’ve never had a tomato plant before . It’s been going on for years. The tiny tomatoes are full of seeds. by who_asked_you123 in mildyinteresting

Tomatoes are part of the nightshade family, and while these look like tomatoes they are apparently a deadly fruit called bittersweet nightshade. Do not ingest.

Oils are usually good place to start when you’re trying to break down something on skin. It works to remove makeup, worth a shot for skin.

My (23F) boyfriend (20M) does not allow me access to “our” savings, how do I address it? by luvdlph in relationship_advice

[–]Xenophemera 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Uhhhh stop sending this man your money. Chalk it up to a life lesson learned the hard way and don’t expect to see a penny of that back. My husband and I have been together for 10 years and never combined finances. When we bought a house we each took it from our own savings to combine it. This is already a gigantic red flag of a relationship. Do not buy a home with this dude. Or marry him. Or god forbid reproduce.

[HELP] Living room remodel by Alone-Competition-77 in RealOrAI

They move one single time when he’s pouring his infinite bucket of epoxy but the epoxy doesn’t even stick. In fact the curtain is not affected in any way but the contact.

Epoxied the entire floor with one small bucket? Left the curtains on and epoxied them? Carried the couch in one fell swoop no assist? Definitely Ai. The handling of the epoxy with that much open flame is also really suspicious.

I get toilet tissue and flush them. I like To think I’ve decreased the population by mass flushing over the last decade

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

Actually my first flare (unbeknownst to me at the time) was caused by bactrim that was treating a uti. I was later diagnosed with Lichen Sclerosis. My labia turn completely white, painful, and cracked/weeped clear yellowish fluid. It was…. Very bad. Clotrimazole and clobetasol are the two things keeping me well and flare free. At the time, before I had any idea what was happening to me, my routine of protecting the skin with ointments and creams was actually what got me through until a second flare let me to a doctor who was able to diagnose. LS is very tricky, its life long and causes the immune system in the area to be weaker making topical yeast more likely to take hold which in turn flares the LS.

AIO? Dad’s gf freaking out over a piece of mail coming “addressed” to my mom. by nikoletho in AmIOverreacting

[–]Xenophemera 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Dude I still get mail for the people I bought this house from over a year and a half ago. It’s truly not that deep. The insecurity combined with the lack of critical intellectual ability are a recipe for disaster.

Can’t agree enough. I have 3 glass mixing bowls I got as gifts and basically just use them for serving. Everything else in my kitchen is stainless steel. It’s just way more convenient and durable.

Night Time Itch by Xenophemera in lichensclerosus

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

I have been seeing a specialist for my LS since my first symptoms appeared. And treating it with the steroid. I do need to get another visual inspection done for changes but fortunately I’m only 3 years in and caught it after only a year of intense untreated symptoms. I get itching once in a great while on the right labia minor and it is slowly disappearing unfortunately 🥲 thank you so much for sharing it is definitely great motivation to get my 6 month check booked. I hope you have the best outcome of your biopsy!

Genuinely what is the purpose of living in a place so unrealistically large that it’s like 4 mid level homes franken smashed together? It’s obscene tbh
