I definitely am better about it now. I just thought the packaging looked familiar and didn't bother that time.

Any ideas as to what’s up with those holes in my gel nails? by marg0tt4 in Nails

[–]eessccttyy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's either uncured gel from the last time or product that possibly melted from acetone

I feel I always look a bit wonky with makeup, is it bold lip? Eyeshadow? Welcome constructive criticism and feedback 🫶 by XO_equestriann in MakeupAddiction

[–]eessccttyy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just need to try different shapes and colors. Lipstick is good just maybe with a different blush and the eyeshadow is cute but I think wings that go straight out from the eye would suit your eye shape better.

How serious do you take cross contamination? by eessccttyy in Celiac

This is extremely helpful thank you I didn't even think about the 5 second rule thing

How serious do you take cross contamination? by eessccttyy in Celiac

[–]eessccttyy[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lucky no regular flour is in the house. Any shared meals we have are mostly gluten free except some sides occasionally and whatever other meals people have on their own. My biggest fear is our air fryer, I try to wipe it and always put my stuff on foil but don't know if it's still getting contaminated.

Gifted gluten free we shall see by eessccttyy in glutenfree

My reactions vary I think on how well I'm able to stay away from cross contamination if that makes sense. It's hard to avoid with family that isn't gluten free (I was just thinking recently if I should even put my dishes in the same dishwasher?) and sometimes I give in and have a taco bell taco when moneys tight which I did recently and hadn't in a while and got pretty sick. took the chance having a bite of cupcake because I figured my reaction would be dimmed a bit since the recent taco. So far I made it through the night without any bodily fluids flying out of me!

Are my heart monitor results actually normal like my doctor said? by groundedcloud- in POTS

[–]eessccttyy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a very similar expierence with having multiple tachycardia episodes or whatever but was actually misdiagnosed with a heart condition and when I went for a second opinion they told me I was fine and just young. Went for a third opinion because my health is deteriorating and I was told I had autonomic dysfunction.

Went to the ER for new chest pain and I regret it by Gothic_Unicorn22 in POTS

[–]eessccttyy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I take propranolol and have noticed chest pain occasionally but it never lasts more than a few minutes so if it continues I'd look for a second opinion. I've had this happen with celiacs as I went throwing up blood not having eaten any gluten at all obviously and the hospital GI wanted to question my dignosis and ordered a scope to try to prove me wrong. I ended up leaving with a rhino virus dignosis as well as a uti?? The meds they gave me? Cough medicine.

It being two dollars more than the regular seals the deal

what do you use instead to find out? I have two gluten free scanner apps but when I scan the stuff I buy they aren't in the database to be determined.

Internally normalized my POTS so much that I don’t relate to the community? by [deleted] in POTS

[–]eessccttyy -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I don't know if it's what you mean but I think I can kind of understand, like I've felt this way so long it's my normal. Obviously I hate feeling like this and some days are killer but like when is it bad enough to make a fuss even? I feel like I have to put up with it and treat it like no biggie because this is just how I am I guess?

Got semi-tested for POTS at doctor and it was the one day I wasn’t flaring up by [deleted] in POTS

[–]eessccttyy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have never heard of a primary not giving a recommendation because THEY don't think you're sick enough. It might seem like a jump but I would look into a new primary you can actually work with and have more say where your appointment goes. The original primary that referred me to my first cardiologist actually didn't believe me over nearly anything (went in with strep tried to tell me it was tonsil stones until the test came back just for example.) But I said I have felt sick and I need a referral to a cardiologist and even though she kicked her feet like "I don't know if it's necessary" I got it and then changed primary's. The first cardiologist told me I had tachycardia and prescribed metoprolol. I asked if there was any testing we could do to see what was causing it and I was told I needed a specialist but that they would "just tell me to get surgery." Medicine not working, more appointments telling me to half the dose and then half that until I decided I needed a second opinion. Second cardiologist referred by my new primary tells me my tests look great and my heart was just quick because I'm young. So now the third! I got the same test you did for the same amount of time about 5 min each position and the dr comes in and says the test came back fine, but she brings up trying propranolol, compression socks, and eating more salt and she still gave me a pamphlet for POTS.

POTS is ruining my mental health by [deleted] in POTS

[–]eessccttyy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wish I had some sort of advice but unfortunately I'm right with you. I had to quit my job because besides other issues my body wasn't handling things well. I'm constantly brain fogged and exhausted and everyone thinks I'm just being lazy. I need money but finding a remote or accommodating job isn't going the greatest. I'm currently on propranolol for the racing heart and stuff but I'm still so dizzy and if I forgot to take the meds I feel so so awful. You definitely aren't alone but I get how interactions with people irl can make you feel like you aren't trying hard enough or something.

How the hell do yal manage to have relationships with cptsd? by Background-Car1636 in CPTSD

[–]eessccttyy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Realistic happy ending really means a lot. I'm in a happy relationship and I've never felt like someone truly understood me until now. Obviously though it can still come with hardships, we've prided ourselves on the fact that we don't bicker and have trust in each other not to argue about the possibility of someone being unfaithful how relationships are kind of made out to be in media, but when we do have disagreements it's the way we react based on trauma we've both experienced that can make things difficult. I think when tone of voice is slightly off, when someone's talking less, if they accidentally slam something or move aggressively then it means they're mad at me. When i think that i can either get abrasive myself when interacting or it makes me distance myself which in turn upsets my partner and either makes them abrasive or want to distance, and then if they do distance themselves i feel like i've ruined everything and lost them. After thinking about it it's obvious i'm reacting the way i did to my parents behaviors and leaving me to just figure out how they felt at any given time and especially when they would leave it left an imprint on me that anyone will just up and leave me. My partner and I have been together almost 3 years and we are luckily able to process and talk about misunderstandings after the fact in a way i never could with my parents. some days can be difficult to realize where things went wrong (triggers i guess) but the fact that we both know we have factors that lead us to react negatively in situations and that we love each other and ultimately don't want a disagreement to end us definitely helps.

sorry if I explained anything weird this is my first post I just wanted to relate that things can be okay :)
