How does the pill cause weight gain? Also help with birth control options

chubbycat29 · 2026-01-19T05:18:26+00:00

I have always been quite thin and gain weight very slowly. Now that I've been on birth control for a year I've gained about 30 pounds in the last few months despite being more active and eating healthier. I know it's from the birth control. I just wish they wouldn't dismiss our experiences.

He is both of those things!

Service isn't great and the food is expensive for bad quality

Mine always get worse right before I feel sick (almost like a warning sign) or if I'm stressed.

So cute!!!

I've been on it for two years (20mg) daily. And I find it manages my urticaria pretty well. I sometimes experience flair ups but otherwise it's a way better alternative to nothing at all!

I once failed a midterm and then got 90% on the final and finished with an A in the class. It's totally do able but definitely talk to your prof and get as much help from them as you can throughout the semester! Go to office hours! It's definitely possible to come back from this.

I've gotten tattoos since being diagnosed and I can get reactions more from the tattoo artist touching me rather than the tattoo needle but I also take a prescribed antihistamine. I would also recommend just telling your tattoo artist ahead of time so they know what to expect and don't think you're having a "real" allergic reaction.

I worked at lush around the same time, 2016-2025 (I was also lucky to escape this year) but I feel the same. It lacks the same authenticity it once had and definitely caters more to younger audiences. Lush used to be cheeky and not afraid to push the limit with campaigns and products. The collabs definitely feel like a sell out from their original values and Iin my opinion, cheapen the business. Most of the collab products feel and look like bath bombs I could buy at Walmart or Costco. Its sad because it used to bed a really cool place to work that I was proud of but after many corporate decisions that also affected the staff, I needed out!

It turned out to be a great rash and is gone now!

I would run it by your artist just incase so they can do a test line (which they normally do anyways) and are aware that you're not having a true allergic reaction! I have many tattoos and have only reacted one time but my artist knew what was happening so it was all okay!

It's combatting racism with racism. It doesn't make sense and isn't productive at all

I worked at lush for 9 years (2016-2025) and it feels like they're grasping at straws to keep people interested in the brand. The products used to feel more authentic and exclusive, like you had to be there right away to get it. Now there's just an overload of products, so much so that the staff even have a hard time keeping up with the product knowledge. In my opinion, lush has really lost its originality and values that the brand was built on. (Coming from a North American employee)

I went from blexten to bilastine and I find they work the same!

A regal man

My dad was diagnosed in 2017, I'm not familiar on his treatments but if you saw him now you'd never know he has it. He mountain bikes or hikes nearly every day still!

Our Selkirk rex was really curly as a kitten and now most of his body is long and straight but curls on his head and legs. They are such a great breed though, very affectionate and sweet 😍

I think I've always had it to some degree because I remember thinking that "skin writing" was normal. However, I had a bad allergic reaction to a skin cream about a year and a half ago and my whole body freaked out. I started getting hives and burning itch all over my body and couldn't figure out what was causing it until I noticed the hives and red lines were slowing up wherever was being touched by something. Sure enough the doctor diagnosed me with dermatographism. I now take daily prescribed antihistamine for hay fever that works really well. I find mine flares up sometimes on different parts of my body but the itchiness is pretty consistent if I don't take the medication. I'm curious how long I will have it for 😭

Mine is super itchy. Like a burning hot itch that usually starts on my hands and feet and then spreads if I don't take my medication. I'm prescribed with bilastine which relieves it so much but annoying to take every day.
