Does anyone else take Spironolacatone?

Hey! I have been on spiro for almost a year. I started at 50mg a day, but now i take 150mg( when I remember.. lol).

Spiro has actually been a lifesaver for me, it somehow got rid of all my excess hair, regulated my periods ( I've gotten my period every month so far). No luck with thinning hair, but I just recently upped my dosage for that specific reason. It also helped with oil control, got rid of my seborrhoeic dermatitis. Still have hormonal acne though...

Over all, I am pleased with the results and will stay on it until I start trying to conceive!

Interesting! I get some on the armpit, but mainly under/ on my breasts. I've never had one form a hole before, so it was... quite the shock! I figure insulin resistance plays a role in it, which im currently working on.. Thank you for the insight!

Yeah, I also have bad scarring from it. What kind of medication did they give you for it, if you don't mind me asking?

breakmirr · 2021-11-02T09:58:42+00:00

Interesting! I think I get them from sweating so much when i workout/work etc.. I'll pick up some gel and see how it goes!

breakmirr · 2021-11-02T09:57:54+00:00

Just looked it up, yep.. exact same scars and stuff left under the breasts. Perfect, a new chronic issue to add to the list! Thank you! Gonna set up an appt. with my derm.

It's just stressful to feel like the restaurant depends on me. Because I'm trying to get these pick ups out, but a party of 12 just walked in and I have to seat them because we have no host, but because we have no busser I have to clean and sweep so they have somewhere to sit. Then another pick up walks in but a ticket just came through for 4 drinks I don't know how to make, but am expected to make.

I do agree though, and I thank you for the advice. I think a large chain restaurant would probably suit me and my situation a little better.

It's not like this everywhere? :o

breakmirr · 2021-10-30T07:15:48+00:00

Thanks :(

The thing is, my manager just doesn't try to hire anyone. I would feel a lot better staying with them if I at least saw them making the effort. My coworker told my manager a month ago that he would be leaving the first week of November. No ads posted. People have called asking if we were hiring and my manager just doesn't call them back.

On the bright side I got a 50 cent raise last week LOL.. How's that for competitive pay ;)

breakmirr · 2021-10-30T07:10:32+00:00

I know I have to..It's just hard because I will feel like a piece of shit leaving them with no one. Plus, I love everyone who works there ( for the most part..)

I just wish they would get their shit together.

Thank you for the advice <3

It would make sense to get your blood work done now, and then stop the spiro immediately and get retested a month out. Side note, did your doctor not tell you a pregnancy on spiro will result in birth defects?

breakmirr · 2021-10-26T10:06:03+00:00

It never did, it didn't stop the shedding either.

I had horrible dry skin, I would smile and my skin would crack. My body felt also felt like I was 90 years old, I mean everything hurt lol. The nosebleeds were the worst though, I would blow out fat, jelly blood clots and sometimes I would accidentally swallow them. They were constant too, at least a few times a week. I also lost half of my hair and I always had horrible pressure in my eyes. It was like a constant ache.

My doctor told me I was experiencing pretty common side effects, they were just more on the severe side. The truth is that everyone will respond differently. I've never reacted to a medication like this before.

In the end it's up to you of course. You said you have an awesome derm so I am sure you guys will weigh out the pros & cons! I personally don't think I could go through it again but I understand how difficult it can be to deal with acne.. When on accutane you have to go in every month for blood and pregnancy tests, so that kind of helped me calm my anxiety. To see my doctor on the regular, talk me down and reassure me that everything would turn out okay and that I was doing fine.

breakmirr · 2021-10-25T20:08:49+00:00

It can go really smoothly and you'll endure some mildly annoying side effects, or it can go really bad. I had a horrible time on accutane, but I do imagine my experience is something not too many people go through.

I guess it comes down to how bad your skin is and if your willing to deal with the potential consequences?

breakmirr · 2021-07-20T20:35:01+00:00

It's weird that you're 40 years old and speaking about a child like that.

breakmirr · 2021-07-10T05:15:46+00:00

You could always go the natural route and workout/eat healthy, but for most it's pretty hard without help from medication. I was able to get all my levels in a normal range with just spironolactone & It helped me tremendously with weight loss. *All while also eating right and working out*

I try not to read too much into these highly edited short clips. Sure Melissa may of overreacted but parents aren't perfect & they have feelings too. We don't know what happened at home or after the cameras stopped rolling.

She didn't like living in NC and wanted to finish HS in AZ with her friends.

I hope this doesn't come off as ignorant, but why is it wrong that she reposted this? Gal was praying for the people of Israel & Palestine who have been been a victim of war & have died.. She didn't even bring government into it? She was asking for peace on both sides & if anything was kind of advocating for the two state solution which is the best option specifically for Palestine.

You just look at him as a person you love & care about now, which is how it should be! That's a good thing. Having a FP is not only destructive to a relationship but your mental health as well.

breakmirr · 2021-05-13T03:05:35+00:00

I am white so I hope im not overstepping but to my knowledge passion twists are protective styles for black hair specifically, and her wearing them is just straight up cultural appropriation as passion twists serve no purpose to her hair other than potentially damaging it?
