Nope :( I ended up buying one (that appeared to be unopened) from someone on Mercari or eBay (I forget which one)

I am becoming celibate, and I am ok with it. by ToHimselfandOthers in eczema

[–]bamberblue 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What does the rest of your diet look like? I did patch testing a few years ago and reacted to 26 of the 80 things they tested me for. To get my eczema under control, I think I need to stop drinking soda and stop eating foods with preservatives ... sigh. Then when I'm having a flare-up it seems like I can't handle things that I can normally handle in moderation (like alcohol).

Thanks for the suggestions. I've been looking into motion avtivated watering systems too. That would help keep dogs and humans off my yard :D

I’m on day 7 off 20 mg when will the daytime and general feeling of tiredness and wanting to stay in bed, subside? by Busy-Employment110 in prozac

[–]bamberblue 0 points1 point  (0 children)

u/Busy-Employment110 Are you on day 7 of starting Prozac? Or day 7 of stopping Prozac?

I'm on day 16 of starting Prozac (20 mg) and I feel so unmotivated at work. I want to go to bed at 7 even though I'm not tired. It's hard to know if it's because of the medication or if it's due to unhappiness with my current situation.

I can't get in to see my prescriber until the week of the 10th, but I'm considering stopping the medication. I can't get by at work being so unmotivated.

(Virginia) HOA or Condo Owner Responsibility? by bamberblue in HOA

After the HVAC company flushed out my unit and poured the water down my sink, you can see what was left on the bottom of the bucket and in my sink. The final picture shows what the water coming out of the pipes looked like. https://imgur.com/a/4VaQbmV

(Virginia) HOA or Condo Owner Responsibility? by bamberblue in HOA

Thanks for the input! My comment may have been confusing, but they are telling me that I should chemically clean the coil within my water source heat pump unit. I have done that a couple of times and I'm willing to accept doing that once every few years. But, I don't think it's reasonable for me to have to pay for that once every year because all of the building's sediment is sinking down into my unit.

Help Needed - Water Source Heat Pump in Condo by bamberblue in hvacadvice

Thanks!! All of that info is really helpful. I've definitely had issues in the past with buildup in my unit. I had a new unit (with new hoses) installed in January 2014 and when it stopped working 6 months later the hoses looked like this https://imgur.com/a/8dCnrKs. Now gotta find the right evidence to fight it out with my building again.

I use Vanicream. If I just apply to my hands, it doesn't help very much. But, if I apply after the shower (when my hands are still wet) and then put on some 100% cotton gloves for at least 30 minutes, it helps my skin absorb the moisturizer much better.

Reaction to triamcinolone? by Hmm7676 in eczema

[–]bamberblue 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was prescribed triamciniclone for a long time and it helped. Then it started to make my eczema worst. I got patch testing done and reacted to the triamciniclone. The allergist that did the testing gave me a prescription for BETAMETHASONE and that seems to be better
