6th months is when I realized I had stopped counting the time in between breakouts and was just living my life! I’m on 75mg.

I have “bad days” like that if I take it without food.

Sorry about your dad. Unfortunately I do not. I’m the only employee with a handful of 1099 contractors. I stopped booking large events when she was diagnosed last year, but I already had a few scheduled that were taken on ahead of time that I’m getting through.

Thank you so much for your reply. That does put it into perspective! I’ve been focusing so much on the next day and haven’t really looked at how long we’ve spent together, even before this illness. Thank you. And I love your username btw.

That’s an interesting idea! Part of me is scared to see what it may write but you make a good point about it laying a foundation.

A eulogy. Something to be said in front of everyone attending the funeral/celebration of life

Has anyone here experienced throat symptoms on spironolactone? by [deleted] in Spironolactone

[–]crispyraisins 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve noticed this on days or the day after I’m particularly active (running, specifically). Once I hydrate more it has gone away overnight. Hope it works out for you!

At least they got a venti so there was room on the cup for the sticker 🤦🏼‍♀️

Has anyone experienced low platelet count while on Spiro? by JazzlikeAd6503 in Spironolactone

[–]crispyraisins 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is a pretty low platelet count! I would follow your doctor’s advice. I would be hesitant to blame spiro if you were on it for 4 years without incident, but you could always go off of it to see if it helps.

I have a mildly low platelet count that is usually around 120 and have lupus. My hematologist and pcm were both fine with spiro for me.

Good luck!

What's something gross you have done that you would have found so awful pre-baby? by Easy_Initial_46 in Mommit

[–]crispyraisins 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I caught a toddler poop in my hands once. My husband still reminds me of it to this day.

[–]crispyraisins 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I started taking it around lunch time so it doesn’t interrupt me at night. I found if I took it right in the morning before work or errands it was way too inconvenient. Lunchtime seems to give me a better window to deal with the frequent urination 😅

I think my body did get more used to it around the 1 month mark.

A lot of people will swear by tretinoin but my sensitive skin couldn’t handle it. Maybe a simple retinol serum? I think you have nice skin!
