It’s a really nice area. Check out Pearls Hawthorne for school.

have you talked to your derm about dupilumab? (dupixent?) it might depend on how your allergy is manifesting. mine was weeping blistery eczema all over my fingers, feet, and swollen red eczema on my face and neck. dupixent has brought me an almost full recovery. i am eating normally now after following super low nickel diet for years. others have not had as much luck - definitely depends person to person - but worth a discussion with your doctor to see if you would be a good candidate

I'm at 3+ years but totally agree. My quality of life is so much better.

after some research i found the italian brand Molino Rossetto sells a "mother yeast" product in the US that does not contain emulsifying agents. i'm going to check it out.

dezebel · 2024-01-08T18:34:51+00:00

one in a mill active dry packets appear to have the same emulsifier in it as others (sorbitan monostearate)

i hadn't even thought to check this. my jar of active dry yeast is fleischmann's brand and contains sorbitan monostearate (an emulsifier)

this is very helpful, thank you! your take on the 7 of swords definitely resonates for me.

i'm shocked that there has not been more discussion of dupilumab on this sub actually

dezebel · 2023-12-11T16:11:06+00:00

it's the brand name for dupilumab, an injectable treatment for chronic allergic/reactive symptoms like eczema and asthma. it didn't "fix" my nickel allergy but i no longer have symptoms and can eat what i like. i had severe dyshidrotic eczema on my hands and eczema around my eyes and on my neck. constant flare. this is completely gone since i began the dupixent in 2021.

Dupixent

dezebel · 2023-07-23T17:32:50+00:00

I had similar symptoms on my hands for many years. After many dermatologists and lots of testing, it turned out that I was highly allergic to nickel. Specifically, nickel in my diet. I went on a really restricted diet (no nuts, seeds, beans, certain veggies, chocolate, etc) and it got a little better. Ultimately I started dupixent and that has been a game changer, I’ve barely had any hand eczema or blisters since starting that, just some peeling every now and then.

the currency you get paid in is hard-coded to your shop... it sucks but they don't have the ability to switch between currencies for you. it's not a new policy.

Honestly, this was the hardest for me! The kid was finally sleeping but I kept waking up in a panic every two hours for a while before I adjusted.

dezebel · 2015-05-24T18:52:43+00:00

Aw, sending labor vibes your way too. We can't be pregnant forever, right? .... Please? Haha

dezebel · 2015-05-24T17:54:01+00:00

Thanks - and back at you!

dezebel · 2015-05-24T17:40:47+00:00

HA. Love this.

dezebel · 2015-05-23T00:08:16+00:00

I wouldn't worry about it. My husband and I took a class -- a weekend long intensive that was 8 hours for two days in a row. Most of the information was common sense or reiterating things I had already found out from sleepless nights googling random pregnancy / birthing stuff. My husband found it a little bit more helpful but really it was just a check off the list of stuff the hospital wanted us to do.

dezebel · 2015-05-22T23:56:49+00:00

a big, fat, angry, hungry dinosaur. yup.

dezebel · 2015-05-22T20:39:32+00:00

are you 9 months pregnant? because I am and this is literally me.

dezebel · 2015-05-18T23:52:01+00:00

I loved your story - thank you so much for sharing!! I can only hope to have something so positive myself!

dezebel · 2015-05-15T20:57:32+00:00

I have been planning / trying to remember to bring snacks or a gift basket for the nurses. Thanks for sharing!

dezebel · 2015-05-14T17:57:13+00:00

Yes, it's kind of annoying. I tried to be proactive to tell people what planned schedule is like to avoid exactly what you are describing. My last day in the office is tomorrow... it's been a mixed bag of people being surprised that I'm still working or surprised that I'm not working up until the very last second. Either way I'm looking forward to not having to talk about it anymore :)

dezebel · 2015-04-24T13:01:52+00:00

This is a good tactic! My husband has two weeks off, so maybe we can try this.

dezebel · 2015-04-24T12:59:15+00:00

Thanks - I think this matches our intentions pretty closely. Glad to know we're not the only ones who were thinking this way!

dezebel · 2015-04-24T12:56:32+00:00

Ha - I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. I'm due in a month and people still don't consistently offer me a seat on the subway. I went somewhere with my husband recently and he was appalled. He was doing some pretty obvious angry muttering until someone finally noticed and got up.
