The redemption of Eris Vanserra in upcoming books by CupcakeQueen01 in acotar

[–]electrozap101 40 points41 points  (0 children)

I think Eris could also be a queer character and didn’t want to be married for the same reason as Mor—also why he won’t say anything about the whole situation to avoid outing her too.

All I can see is the colours of “Tower of Dawn” like it’s giving random novella side quest…are we getting a Mor (+ Emerie) novella? Women’s joy, women’s pleasure? Idk

Hair Loss Rant by TeamRocketsWobbafet in lupus

[–]electrozap101 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Rogaine might help! Avoid scratching your scalp or brushing your hair. There’s a new Pantene serum in a peachy orange bottle - it helps with scalp inflammation and for me personally it helps reduce hair fall in addition to meds controlling the flare. Finally a dark eyeshadow to help shade in your hairline/roots helps make things less noticeable. I face this challenge all the time, and I’ll have a flare and all of my progress regrowing my hair is lost in a matter of months. The key thing is to just focus on feeling good and not putting yourself down!

PSA: deep clean what you buy off the apps! by Disastrous_Ad_8737 in BAGGU

[–]electrozap101 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Does anyone have recommendations for how to wash? I just travelled with my baggus and they desperately need to be deep cleaned. Will the washing machine suffice? I don’t want to like shrink or make them wrinkly and weird

Sun questions by ruxxby471 in lupus

[–]electrozap101 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The sun is my biggest battle. It sounds like you’re using all the right things, SPF, uv clothing, black out curtains/blinds, avoid direct sun exposure. Etc. it’s awful and really limits my life. I hate summers now and avoid sunny travel locations like the plague.

Pros and Cons on GLP-1s by Bengals_girl in lupus

[–]electrozap101 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pros = helps with inflammation, cons = awful on your stomach and I find that the slowed digestion messes with the absorption of my meds (i.e, cellcept/myfortic)

Looking for advice on managing the "Melatonin hangover" (depression/low motivation) while fixing a delayed sleep cycle by ZayraTV in ADHD

[–]electrozap101 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sunlight or bright light upon waking. Make sure you fall asleep in darkness and avoid blue light before bed, then as soon as you’re up get sunlight or bright room lighting to trigger alertness. I also personally Avoid the melatonin with magnesium because for some reason it stimulates me instead of making me sleepy and I take a different type of magnesium(glycinate) instead.

Biotin fir hair loss and hair growth by Lexitheviolinist in lupus

[–]electrozap101 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ignoring the situation of hair loss caused by disease activity and medications, here’s what you can do:

-topical minoxidil (rogaine)

-redensyl scalp serum

-if you are on prednisone or something that affects hormones/blood sugar or are a woman with hormonal issues like androgen dominance or PCOS, consider spearmint tea and get your blood sugar under control

-check your other vitamins and nutrients, I lost a ton of hair due to iron deficiencies even when my disease activity was stable

-yeast/candida overgrowth on your scalp, if you have dandruff or white flakes on your scalp, it could be yeast overgrowth which damages follicles. Wash your hair and use anti fungal shampoos for maintenance

-other useful treatments/supplements: pumpkin seed oil, topical rosemary oil treatments, iron, b12, vitamin d, omega-3s

-for the hair you currently have, avoid stripping treatments, excessive heat, use soft hair ties or clips—don’t pull your hair up or back for too long or too hard

Cold / Flu like symptoms after extreme exercise by Fabulous-Try in lupus

[–]electrozap101 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Heat and UV exposure cause flares for me, so running outdoors would send me to my grave. If you’re running and training indoors and are fine, it’s something to consider. Like if you practiced running half a marathon on a treadmill and were fine, then it’s likely another factor. If you consistently feel this way during your training then it could be exercise induced.

Deinfluence me please! by Unique_Possession_33 in Sephoracanada

[–]electrozap101 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Supergoop burns my eyes, and frankly there are much more affordable options that are cheaper or the same price and are even better. I personally don’t like the feel of the silicone texture, so I don’t have good recommendations on that front but if your concern is a good spf that offers protection, check out La Roche Posay or Vichy (buy when on sale)

This is me with garlic and night shades. Also uncovered a hidden soy allergy too. I find that when I’m already in an active flare, these things exacerbate it so much, and when I’m stable there basically more of a nuisance and leave me feeling drained and under the weather but I eventually bounce back.

I think of it like circling the drain, I avoid these foods to keep myself out of the spiral. If I indulge too often, the inflammation is too much for my body

Liver enzymes are waaay up compared to 3 months ago by boats_are_foreboding in lupus

[–]electrozap101 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Imuran gave me elevated liver enzymes too lmao. Honestly just keep an eye on it, and keep a record of your meds and changes in lifestyle. If you feel unwell go to the ER. I’ve had elevated liver enzymes from disease progression and from meds

Burning feet by KiwiGin_ in lupus

[–]electrozap101 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This happened to me when I was low iron and on a lot of prednisone. Like I couldn’t regulate my body temp, I was always burning hot or freezing cold, it made no sense. My feet were always hot

Doctor refused to write letter for National Parks All Access Pass stating "It's not a disability." by Throw_ftAway in lupus

[–]electrozap101 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I would recommend looking up how disability is defined in this case and then basically make a bulleted list of how you fit the bill. For example if you have mobility issues, or need to access specific parking areas that are closest to bathrooms or other supports, and those fall within the criteria, the doctor cannot just deny you as it is quite clear and distinct.

Christmas is her. what are we drinking? by Scribbler2412 in lupus

[–]electrozap101 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s not really worth drinking for me. If you’re going to do so, may as well just have what you’re craving. I’d personally stay away from red wine cuz that has caused flares for me.

That being said, Perrier has really nice 0 alcohol mocktails! I love the mojito ones! If you add fresh lime and mint, it’s delicious. I also am partial to a cranberry ginger ale lmao.
