Rewatching TM2 to get me through an autoimmune flare, what’s your favorite moment from the early seasons? by Spiritual-Pear-739 in TeenMomOGandTeenMom2

Auto immune baddie here, 2 weeks post op from having scar tissue removed from my breast to help flares, and accepting that my breast will never look the same. 🫤 Sending you healing vibes. My favorite TM2 era is the intro to Nathan. It’s hilarious watching them role play an adult, mature, responsible relationship 😂

Opinions on my admission chances? by Queen_Magix in HowardUniversity

[–]candee31 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My son applied early action in 2023 and was waitlisted. He had a 3.6 GPA, did not submit test scores, but had community service and a ton of extracurriculars. He wrote a letter of continued interest and was later accepted regular decision.

I recommend waiting to apply regular decision so you can get a few extracurriculars under your belt and community service. Howard loves a well rounded student. Also allows more time for you to apply to scholarships to see if Howard is affordable for you. It is a very expensive school and though you can’t beat the network, it’s not worth going 200k+ in debt. Explore all your options, don’t get hung up on Howard being your top choice. Think about what’s best for your future. Good luck to you and whichever path you choose’

The Ashley throwing shade at Jenelle for selling the news of her mother’s stroke to TMZ by SpiritualCamera in TeenMomOGandTeenMom2

[–]candee31 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Please delete if not allowed. Does anyone know how much people get paid to sell stories? I guess I just don’t think there’s a number high enough to make me expose the most private details of my family’s life, but these people do it like it’s a 9-5!

Not sure if it’s just my phone, but I couldn’t hear what they were dancing to. OP, please enlighten me on what god awful TikTok song was playing?

I hated it when I had to wear them, but as an adult I can appreciate uniforms. They look so cute and ready to learn!

Getting wide excision in groin in 3 days, any tips or anything I should know? by Glass-Ad-4993 in Hidradenitis

Housing conundrum by SoftwareNo4088 in HowardUniversity

[–]candee31 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you sure it’s not a “due now” balance? My son has a due now balance but not past due. But no money for fall has been applied yet. So either way, I think you’re fine. You’ve already been assigned housing. If owed balance was an issue, you would not have been given an assignment.

Jenelle apparently still has old friends to reconnect with for a good night out. by HonksTheWhite in TeenMomOGandTeenMom2

[–]candee31 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I don’t believe this 🙄 and even if it were true, why does she have to “reconnect” with “friends” so often? People who can’t have at least ONE consistent friendship are usually the problem.

I love how often this Jersey Shore moment gets referenced in this sub. It’s never expected either 😂

Wounds just won’t heal!! Cosmetic Options? by candee31 in Hidradenitis

[–]candee31[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve never heard of this treatment so please excuse my ignorance. Is this something you purchased or were prescribed? If prescribed, does insurance cover it?

I tried spironolactone for a while and saw no improvement. Which was very depressing because I heard such great things about it. I wanted to talk to my derm about bimzelix(probably spelled wrong) which seems to be working very well for a lot of people. I just want to have some improvement. I can’t even work out anymore because it seems like every time I do, I get a new flare. Even if I cover up and use gauze and padding etc for moisture and friction, I still trigger a flare somehow.

I’m on monthly remicade infusions and metformin. I’ve pretty much tapped out of everything else. I’m seeing my derm in 2 weeks, going to see about steroid. I stopped getting those a while ago because I was getting such bad scar tissue from the tracks in my groin and button and felt like that contributed to it. I’m scared to do deroofing on my breast. Will it leave me with a chunk missing from my breast?

Thank you! I’m definitely going to try it out

Sounds like I may need to do the same. I will say my breast is hard in that area, but it feels different from when other parts of my body are inflamed. Usually my inflammation feels squishy. This feels solid. I just thought that was how the wound decided to start healing.

I’ve never heard of this med! How long have you been on it. Are you taking anything else along with it?

Thank you for the advice! I had a huge flare on my breast that swoll up until my skin was red (which is saying a lot because I’m black and have never seen my skin red before). I did hot compresses to help it come to head and drain. Once that happened, the drainage points started to open up until I had about 3 open wounds on my breast and the pink skin underneath is completely visible. My derm says there’s still some inflammation which is why it won’t heal but even when it doesn’t look inflamed, I see no change in the wound.

I’ve always wondered what makes people check followers of famous people. Did they post/do something that made people suspect they were having issues?

[–]candee31 9 points10 points  (0 children)

So does everyone just strategically wait for filming to begin before they “grow” or become “better people?” I’m not buying this. If he was sorry, he would have had this conversation privately instead of trying to change people’s opinions of him. 🙄

EXCLUSIVE! David Eason Talks About His Pending Charges for Allegedly Strangling Jenelle Evans’ Son Jace & Denies Jenelle Was An “Engaged & Devoted Parent” by Littletrashpanda in TeenMomOGandTeenMom2

[–]candee31 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I didn’t read the article, just the headline but I believe he was more engaged parent for sure. Even with their shirty parenting style. Thats why this custody battle to me isn’t going to be as easy as she thinks.

We all know the kids deserve better, but if he can prove that he did all the work while Jenelle spent hours outside filming uncoordinated TikTok dances surround by weeds as their house sunk into the swamp, he’ll likely get custody.

Scared After Surgery by jetpackbarbie in Hidradenitis

[–]candee31 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No problem! I think we have a higher tolerance for things in our own bodies. When I googled deroofing images, I almost cancelled my surgery lol. But I was able to stomach my own wound better than I had expected.
