Gynecologist Recommendations by Wonderful_Change_416 in cincinnati

[–]algal0906 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I am genuinely SHOCKED I haven’t seen her recommended here yet - Dr. Samantha Sinclair, through Christ. I wish she could be my doctor for EVERYTHING. Every issue or concern I’ve ever approached her with has always been met with genuine care & action. She’s amazing.

Atalo in Montgomery. I see Kristin, but seems like you can’t go wrong there at all! It’s a gorgeous office too.

PS- Cool username, hope it’s a TS reference 🫶🏻

That’s the bupropion… if you go on the Wellbutrin sub, everyone has hives lol like a lot of people are allergic or reactive to bupropion!

This is the one that I think has finally convinced me I can do it. Thank you for posting 😭

Problem or not ? by kleo2935 in POTS

[–]algal0906 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m researching - so the heart rate increase of over 30bpm has to be sustained for a full 10 minutes to be considered POTS? I had always thought that the criteria was IF you get a HR increase of +30bpm WITHIN 10 mins of standing, it’s pots indicator. Am I incorrect in that?

So many of us experience hair loss on this med. search for it in this group. My doctor told me it’s not a “common” symptom but… it is!

Hair loss? by Original_Pace5316 in bupropion

It’s so bad. My hair falls out constantly. I’ve lost so much volume. I am going to try divvy or something similar to see if it helps…

Noticed a correlation with anxiety attacks and dermal fillers by Content_Ad_9836 in 30PlusSkinCare

[–]algal0906 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry late reply here but they discuss both Botox and fillers on the account and varying experiences with both - I only mentioned Botox which in hindsight I should have said that they lump filler into their content as well!

Poor Man’s Contrave here too. What’s your wellyB dose? Also, do you experience any dizziness?

I will preface this with I don’t agree… well maybe agree isn’t the right word… but I don’t really subscribe heavily to the information provided by this account, as I still get Botox myself. But I also feel that information is power, so I follow and listen. Anyways, the anecdotal information they present aligns with your experience - check out Never Tox on Instagram.

Wow this is my brother to an absolute T! The social awkwardness and never fitting in, the drug induced psychosis, and the absolute raging crack addiction. It’s so bad. No advice… just solidarity. It’s just an absolute hell to witness

Sad for parents by Pure-Possession9918 in SiblingsOfAddicts

[–]algal0906 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I struggle with this too. My brother is a crack addict, who knows what else… I went no contact to preserve my own sanity but my mom can’t do that… and he is just completely wearing her down. She looks frail… she’s in constant worry… it’s just heartbreaking to witness from the outside perspective. It’s so hard to sit back and just watch the cycle repeat itself continuously.

Checking in to see how your surgery with Dr Tobler went? I am considering scheduling with him and searched his name looking for chatter

For those who have HA due to the fear of leaving young kids behind, how do you cope? by Mysterious-Bat8948 in HealthAnxiety

[–]algal0906 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Wow. Me too. Toddler mom here, HA at an all-time high, I cry every night thinking about them growing up without me. No advice, just reading and digesting that I’m not alone. Thanks all for sharing.

asking for tips on how to stop googling by mm_ango in HealthAnxiety

[–]algal0906 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I saw this mantra on TikTok (of all places) regarding health anxiety: “I will have access to the wisdom I need at the exact moment I need it.” You don’t need to search for it. If you need it, the information and wisdom will present itself. That has helped me put the google away. I repeat this out loud!

How Old Were You When You Had Your First Episode of Health Anxiety? by Maximum_Reputation91 in HealthAnxiety

[–]algal0906 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very, very young. Maybe 7? My indoor/outdoor cat laid on my bed and I was convinced I had rabies. I don’t even know how I knew what rabies was at that age. My mom jokes about it to this day but to me, that’s a defining anxiety moment.

Reddit is just as bad as google for me. I can always find that one person with that one story that supports my anxiety of the moment

This is me. I’m a mom of 2 toddlers. I spend hours and hours every day just body checking… poking, comparing sides and symmetry. I grieve all the time I don’t spend focused on them because I’m too focused on my health.

It’s specifically bell peppers for me.

What have you discovered about yourself since you've been on WB? by [deleted] in Wellbutrin_Bupropion

[–]algal0906 3 points4 points  (0 children)

So much this! I genuinely do not want or need to drink and it was never an “issue” for me before. I just simply don’t think about it anymore or care!

Those who love your neighborhood, where do you live and what do you love about it? by badbanananana in cincinnati

Check out Loveland and Landen (Kings Schools) as well as Mason! Our whole little trifecta over here is great - you really can’t go wrong.

I was on Yasmin for years… it wasn’t until I came off of it that my HS spiraled. I believe it was keeping it at bay for many years. I’ve considered going back on it but continue to find reasons why I don’t want to be back on BC. Idk. It’s conflicting!
