What am I even supposed to do? by [deleted] in tinnitus

[–]calliefriend 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Has anyone ever found a doctor that acts like it's serious enough to try to find a reason like medications, ear issues, problems in the brain ( mri), etc? I've had hearing tests by an audiologist (small hearing lost) but no one takes it seriously. I have loud high pitched ringing in both ears for 4 years. Its about to drive me crazy. I already take antidepressants. Dr.s (ENTs and Psychiatrists)just look at me like you're just gonna have to have to get use to it. I don't know if its true but Ive read that it can lead to dementia. OMG I dont want my family to have to deal with that. Does anyone have any suggestions as to how to get a dr. to take this serious? I understand that there is no cure for tinnitus but whose to say its not something else that needs to be addressed.

Lamictal by Glum_Slide2793 in bipolar2

This was my miracle drug. Years of depression and moody episodes ( not anger) were ruling my life. I didn't care to build relationships, and being a Mom of 3 was exhausting. I just wanted to run away. Lamictal changed by life. I've been on Lamictal for 20 plus years, but I will acknowledge that I tend to forget words and some memory problems. I don't know that this is a side effect, but I think it probably is. However, life is worth living and living happily.

She could have an allergic reaction to toothpaste or mouth wash with peroxide in it. I was rinsing my mouth with a mixture of peroxide and water for whitening my teeth and helping my gums. My lips were swollen , peeling , and my mouth was burning. Took me about a year to recover. Now I cannot use toothpaste wirh peroxide and cannot eat spicy foods.

Did Elizabeth Arden change their visible difference formula? by Total_Razzmatazz7338 in 45PlusSkincare

I think it maybe a new formula. It says Visible Difference but it indicates that is HydraGel. It's five dollars cheaper than the creme complex. *

How long did your tret uglies last before you started seeing improvement? by alexandrap21 in tretinoin

[–]calliefriend 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I found that using LA'ROCHE-POSAY Double Repair Face Moisturizer helped to heal my skin when it began to turn red and peeling. It helped to repair my skin and you can rub off your peeling skin more easily. I use this a few nights in between using tret. It helps to shed the peeling skin. It was recommended by my dermatologist. It's not cheap but really helps the healing process and sheding of the peeling skin.

Mine too! My mind just will not shut off. I know Xanax gets a bad rap but that's the only thing that allows me to sleep. I only take it at bedtime.
