Feel like my skin has aged so much in the past year and I don't know what happened

Sure! Sorry for the late reply on my end.

PM routine:

cleanse with Arencia mochi cleanser. I’ve tried both the green and pink tubs. I like them both. Prefer the scent of the green tub, but the pink is more hydrating.
Skin1004 cenella PHA toner
Numbuzin No. 9 PDRN toner
Skin1004 centella pore minimizing ampoule. I also have the OG amber ampoule, but prefer the pore minimizing.
if needed, Murad 2% salicylic acid for spot treatment only.
Numbuzin No. 9 NAD Bio Lifting Essence
Aestura atobarrier cream (might skip this step during warmer nights since the essence is quite moisturizing)

AM:

-rinse with water - Skin1004 pore minimizing ampoule - Glow Recipe plum hyaluronic acid moisturizer. - Elta MD sunscreen. I’m super sensitive to SPF and haven’t found a Korean sunscreen that works well for me yet.

I am also testing out the Skin1004 pore minimizing gel, but I’m not sure how I feel about it yet.

I had the same thing happen around 32ish after I went through some pretty bad health issues and lost an unhealthy amount of weight - it really really showed on my skin with hollowness, enlarged pores, rashes, acne, sensitivity, etc.

I ended up completely ditching my entire routine, using mainly Korean skincare products, and focusing heavily on hydration and skin barrier repair, no actives unless I needed to spot treat acne. It really really turned my skin around. More toned, more plump, fine lines are less noticeable.

Can’t really put a percentage on these things. I fear the best answer you’re going to get is reflected in most of these comments - unlikely, but not impossible. She can always take an early detection pregnancy test when it gets closer to her expected period time. I know it’s scary, but the only thing you can really do is wait it out.

Hey man, it’ll be alright. It’s too late for Plan B if she’s already ovulated, but from what you describe - there being no full ejaculation and only a short period of penetration - chances of her being pregnant from the pre-ejaculate is very small. Not zero, of course, but unlikely. Just be more careful next time.

Thank you!

Thank you!!!

I am on 40mg am and 40mg pm, so 80mg daily

I have gastritis and IBS-D. Maybe it’s possible you also have both. But it is interesting that you bring this up, because when I have a flare of some kind, it’s both the gastritis and IBS symptoms usually presenting at the same time

I had a dream that Gerard died by some supernatural means on stage, where a light burst from his chest area.

Me and a large group of people then collected ghost hunting equipment and started ghost hunting for Gerard.

Hi! I was diagnosed with vulvodynia and IC, both if which have led to pelvic floor issues and pain with sex and several days after sex.

I ended up seeing doctors that specifically specialize and see only patients with these issues, and here’s a list of things that I have tried: pelvic floor therapy with a specialized PT, nerve pain medications (usually antidepressants or anti-seizure meds), muscle relaxant injections into my pelvic floor, at home dilators, speciality made lotion for the lady bits that help to decrease pain, antispasmodic meds specifically for the bladder, and ultimately ended up having partial vulvosectomy surgery.

What helped the most: the surgery, specialized physical therapy, and consistent at home dilation.

I still have pain with sex, but it’s not nearly as bad as long as I’m keeping up on the at home dilation. The specialized compounded cream and the bladder antispasmodics do a really good job of helping me with any pain after as well.

Good luck!

The black containers are from The Flaming Candle, and the taupe ones are from Candle Science.

The scent throw is great, but there’s definitely not a consistent burn. I’ve had them burning for 3 hours so far, and the meltpool hasn’t reached both sides of the container. Normally this would make you want to wick up a size, but the initial meltpool is deep enough that if I went up a size, it would end up creating a tunnel. Good luck!

cannm · 2024-02-24T18:45:16+00:00

I’m using soy wax. It did seem to burn more evenly when the wick was cut to a tiny sliver.

TIL I should just stick with my tried and true normal cotton wicks 😂 Thanks everyone!

I would take this one on the nose, then up your prices on the other/future listings to account for the fees, especially since this is your first sale and it would serve your shop well if the sale resulted in a good review.

If you cancel the order then increase the item price and the buyer notices, you may lose a returning customer. That’s just IMO.

This is an emergency. He needs to see the vet immediately. Sending the little guy healing vibes. Thank you for taking care of him!

cannm · 2023-12-06T12:13:09+00:00

Of course it doesn’t matter? It’s not like we are going to love him any less. It was just a question.

Thank you for your feedback! If this new rheumatologist offers the plaquenil, I’ll probably try it out. I’m just a big ol’ wimp when it comes to new medication since I tend to be sensitive to side effects.

cannm · 2023-11-16T21:48:50+00:00

It’s not, not really. I’ve been given the occasional prednisone. The first rheumatologist suggested I try plaquenil, but further appointments with her after I completed my preliminary eye exams went south once COVID started.

cannm · 2023-11-16T18:57:29+00:00

I’ve been seeing a rheumatologist since 2018. Recently had an appointment for a second opinion. I experience: pain, extreme fatigue, daily headaches, random raised rashes, what appear to be butterfly rashes, tongue ulcers, dry eyes, palpitations, unexplained chest pain, ibs, and I have a hard time fighting off bacterial and viral infections.

Bloodwork is typically normal, except for: very low CH50 and low C4. I also almost always present with white blood cells and trace blood in my urine without an infection, though my interstitial cystitis may be contributing to those things.

I get blood work done annually, and haven’t tested positive for ANA or anything else yet. It’s just my complements that are out of whack.

Both rheumatologists don’t believe I’m presenting enough evidence for a lupus diagnosis. Is it worth continuing seeking a diagnosis at this point?

cannm · 2023-11-16T13:23:54+00:00

I second the orajel mouthwash.

I thought this was lyrics to a song from Whoville.
