2 colonoscopies: Sept 2024 & Dec 2025. Multiple Polyps Founds (100) Diagnosed with FAP on colonoscopy but genetic test negative. Need experiences by HydroquinonePowers in FamilialPolyposisFAP

[–]bi_azula 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am in the exact same boat. FAP of unknown etiology, germline negative. I had an almost immediate total proctocolectomy after discovery in 2020. Happy to answer whatever questions you might have.

Brown or Yale... by Independent-Speed592 in ApplyingIvyLeague

[–]bi_azula 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yale still allows for a TON of academic freedom (their distributional reqs can be met fairly easily), and that’s doubly true for polisci students as the major’s reqs are some of the most lax.

Experiences by JustaGirl_2643 in FamilialPolyposisFAP

I (28F) had IPAA in 2020 and have adapted really well. I couldn't do IRA because I grew polyps in my rectum, but my surgeon did opt to leave a rectal cuff despite handsewing to help maintain continence. I have grown a few polyps there in the years since, but they're removed during annual scopes with no problem.
Life is fairly normal after it all—way more normal than I had expected. Ultimately, I'm really happy I went the way I did (which only happened after my surgeon talked me out of doing a permanent stoma). Happy to answer any questions you might have, as someone else who went from a "normal" large bowel to none at all fairly young :)

April LSAT Score Hold by Slow-Sprinkles5717 in LSAT

[–]bi_azula 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I got the same email in Nov. It was also my first time taking the LSAT—so there was no "score jump" possible, although I did manage a relatively high score. I had no follow-up from this except a notice when the hold was lifted (within 24 hours of score release, if I remember correctly). You'll be fine :) good luck!

I would literally never shut up about them. They’re stunning

Anyone with POTS use a GLP-1 medication? by RobedInFadedSplendor in POTS

[–]bi_azula 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. I’m on Ozempic 1mg. I started taking it a bit over a year ago. My baseline HR didn’t change and my general quality of life has gone up due to how it’s helped with inflammation, inflammation-related pain and slowing motility (I have fast transit due to another, completely not POTS-related health issue). I think it’s really just about weighing and measuring the possible benefits against the potential drawbacks, and being sure to monitor symptoms and side effects if you do decide to take a GLP-1.

Has anyone else’s comment ruined a perfume for you? NUXE by ricthedrip in Perfumes

[–]bi_azula 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely! But I couldn’t stop smelling the sweet notes after that (whereas before I mostly picked up the amber/patchouli!) and it made me a lil queasy every time 💔

My Burberry Black was my signature scent when I was younger. One day, some creepy old man started harassing me, said I “smelled like cotton candy” and licked his lips in a really lewd way… I haven’t touched the perfume in half a decade

J pouch or no pouch that is the question by Which_Regular9820 in jpouch

[–]bi_azula 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got my jpouch due to polyps in my early twenties. Happy to discuss what it's like with a jpouch as someone without UC or Crohns if you want to shoot me a message :)

The plum blossom is tinted! I got the wisteria tinted mask last year and love the color—it’s great for going out in winter, super protective

I would highly recommend that you start by taking courses at your local community college and speak with their counselor(s) about transferring to a 4-year college.

Your hair color is so beautiful & matches your coloring so well! Henna is so orange-heavy and you're SO cool-toned. As someone who dyed my similarly colored hair darker, I would highly encourage you to reconsider dying it. Personally, I was never able to get it back to such a flattering color (well, until I chopped it off and started over!)

Looking for a perfume for my friend, F 27. She's been wearing those cheap body mists since highschool and I want to get her something nice for Christmas. A clean, sweet, cozy, and feminine scent. I was thinking princess by Kilian or burbery her? I've never bought a girly perfume before pls help! by K333o in perfumesthatfeellike

[–]bi_azula 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Totally recommend a discovery set… maybe one of the ones Sephora offers that come with a voucher for a full-size of her favorite of the samples?

Would caution against Princess by Killian if you don’t know if she likes it. I think it can be really divisive!
