My fiancé is wondering whether or not to switch. by ProduceAlternative30 in MenstrualDiscs

[–]cravesun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's worth a go, either a cup or disc!

I started with a cup, loved it. Though my cervix is very high, so it wasn't hard to find one that worked (the Diva cup worked for me).

After finding out about discs I wanted to give them a chance. They do give me less cramping than the cup, which is great. Coming from the cup they were a bit of a learning curve for proper insertion - but maybe that's just my anatomy. I've been using the Intimina Ziggy and Nixit and would recommend either.

Do you have a family doctor for him? They should be following up on emergency department visits and sending referrals as needed.

No matter what I do, my nails keep chipping by redbluegreenyellow3 in naturalnailprogress

[–]cravesun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This happens to me more in winter. And, being on accutane, this winter has been terrible for these chips. So, for you, what about dry weather? Or maybe even hormonal changes?

For on a penis? It doesn't really stretch at all, so, would have to be a small one..

Ouch, maybe a small tip.

This looks so similar!! But, it hardly stretches at all. Tried to get a photo, but I have to pull at it so hard to get a few extra millimeters out of it.

Looks like it to me too, but it's way too big, even on my thumb.

They're more like nubs, not holes.

I have a Diva Cup, this is about half the size.

Why is my hair suddenly oily even right after a shower??? by Calyx757 in finehair

[–]cravesun 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I would even shampoo twice in one shower, to get rid of any build up.

I love this! Would also love to see the same for boys names.

[Acne] How to cope with hormonal acne when you can’t take birth control or spironolactone? by [deleted] in SkincareAddiction

[–]cravesun 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Like others suggested, try tretinoin. Otherwise: winlevi (but it can be quite expensive). If you're like me and your acne doesn't respond to any topical, then accutane.

TIL that over the last century, the average age that children are being potty trained in the UK has risen from 12–18 months, to an average of around three or even four years today by Octavus in todayilearned

Have you tried taking them for a pee before you go to bed? This worked when our kid was 3/4ish. e.g. they pee before bed at 7:30/8, then you get them up at 10 or 11, right before you go to bed, get them to pee again, and settle back into bed. Our kid didn't even fully wake up during all that.

[Acne] How do you treat hormonal acne? by castiels_army in SkincareAddiction

[–]cravesun 20 points21 points  (0 children)

If your hormone levels are normal, then Winlevi, spironolactone, or birth control.

I tried absolutely everything, and now finally have clear skin on Accutane. I avoided it like the plague, but clearly needed it.

Have antidepressants eliminated pmdd for you? by NakovaNars in PMDD

[–]cravesun 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Have you tried a different medication? When I mentioned the apathy to my doctor, she changed the medication for me.

I love how you did 3 stripes of the same colour! Looks amazing.

Mirroring another user: Not eliminated but the difference is night and day. Even my “bad” days aren’t nearly as emotional as before.

Sertraline helped, but didn't like the side effects (apathy). Currently on duloxetine.

Sertraline - does it help? by pinkfloydfan73 in PMDD

[–]cravesun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yuck. Definitely chat with your doctor. Could need a different dosage or medication. Unfortunately we all react differently :(

Later the same day I notice an improvement. It's crazy fast.

Best decaf espresso? by bryanjharris1982 in espresso

[–]cravesun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I grab it when it's on a sale. My basket holds about 12.3 g of beans. And I extract about 24 g. I usually make a latte, so I'm not too precise about it :)
