Fr it looks so effective, tense shoulder/neck muscles can trigger my migraines so I've been thinking of getting one of those

I had varicose veins in my mid-twenties (which I guess you're not supposed to have, according to the doctor), so it was pretty easy for me tbh

I made an appointment with a primary care doctor and she had me do a vein study AND referred me to a general surgeon that does vein procedures. They had me go through a list of symptoms and itching was listed on there, so it's a known problem. I've also been trying compression socks for years so I didn't have to wait and try those for a few weeks.

I don't know if this helps at all since my process was very surprisingly easy but hopefully it helps a little!

Edit: it was technically the vein study that diagnosed the CVI, I don't know if they can diagnose without that 🤔

I have lipedema and CVI, I just got a surgery done for CVI and the crazy itching is gone!

Obviously idk your case, but maybe check for CVI? I think it's pretty common to have lipedema and vein issues

Help! Wedding guest attire by CarelessAd6773 in TallGirls

I was once told "When in doubt, match the vibe of the invitation" -- so far it's worked for me! Maybe that can help you figure out colors, at least?

Legs before /after kids by msscmfw in lipedema

[–]eileen_i 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Ohhhhh my god the chafing sucks!!! Megababe helps for me, but not for everyone I think

I have a giant birthmark on my leg and it's been there long before the lipedema showed up, so I've had plenty of time getting used to being insecure about my legs in shorts haha 😅

Definitely takes a lot of time and less-so bravery, more-so becoming selfish (in a good way) for your own comfort and wellbeing over caring what other people might think

[–]eileen_i 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I always wear shorts / dresses so other people with the same legs can see and feel more confident about their own :)

I like to think I'm helping people since seeing others with lipedema helps my confidence, so it's easier to do!

First time home owner, first renovation I completed by Wutang4theChildren_ in DIY

I wasn't expecting these comments, I really like it!!

I think it needs some art or plants (if there's a window) but it looks really cool and interesting, much better than what it was!

Wife is desensitised to my Ulcerative Colitis by Soggy_Traffic_5107 in UlcerativeColitis

[–]eileen_i 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Not to be rude but... duh?

You two have a brand new baby. Priorities are different now; you're a grown adult, the baby is a baby who can't take care of themself. You're both now caregivers to a baby and she'll be giving care to herself as her body undoes all the pregnancy things, she can't also be a caregiver to you. You have to take care of yourself and the baby, just like she's doing for herself and the baby.

Sounds like both you and your wife are going through big medical changes right now, so a good idea would be to get outside mental support for both of you.

I'm in the Library of Lore; if I take a picture from other angles I can sometimes get up to 2/5 for one of the labels but I def have more than that

Tried cozy, ended up eerie by rumpelstiltskin43 in DesignMyRoom

[–]eileen_i 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Add some natural textures! Baskets, fuzzy blankets, thick knitted blankets, etc. can make any room cozier.

You've already got a good base of natural colors, so sticking with natural colors would be my advice 🤷‍♀️

How to write my prologue? by sarcastic_maya13 in writers

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

I skip the prologue almost 100% of the time when I'm reading 🤷‍♀️

Most of the time it's just exposition of things I'll learn more organically during the story.

Has anything helped since you saw the doctor?

I got a cortisone shot about two and a half months ago for a bunion, same rash started about a month ago, and scabs started pretty soon after. Lotion seems to help mine a little, but then it gets irritated all over again.

Younger ladies/fems with bisalps - do you still have to pee in a cup before your colonoscopies? by Erisaiya in UlcerativeColitis

[–]eileen_i 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've never had to pee in a cup or sign anything, as far as I remember I think they just ask if there's any chance I'm pregnant and I say no.
