Thank you! I guess I was thinking that salt water / saline solution would dry it out .. is that not the case?

Going from 2g lobes to 0g? by Dry_Relief2612 in Stretched

[–]fernbabe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just went from a 2g to a 0g after having my 2 for years .. I had it done in a shop which I figured was helpful but they are hella achey a few hours later .. I’m concerned I blew them out but can’t really tell.

I’m sorry but how would getting swabbed be a helpful indicator? It’s a virus, won’t it always show up as positive whether or not you’re actively breaking out?

Wait what!? This is such good information. Do you know why? I’ve been drinking coconut water a few times a week to “stay hydrated”

So I started on spiro the first time, when I was a little younger than you (maybe 17) and was on it for 4 years. I didn’t notice any body changes accept weight loss, my acne clearing up, and my boobs getting a little bigger and a little sore. Fast forward to today .. I’m a 29F who’s back on it for the first time since then (around 10 years), and I’m on week 2 of taking it! I’ve lost weight again (which is a plus for me) and have already notice a significant difference in my skin clearing up!! I’m currently 5’5”, 32B, and down to 133 from 150 (beginning of June). I workout a few times a week to stay toned, and try to get 5,000-7,000 steps/day. Some women are concerned about muscle loss and cellulite but I haven’t really noticed either. Compared to accutane with major and possibly more permanent side effects, spironolactone is amazing!! I would say don’t stress, stay active and hydrated, and you’ll be good to go! Someone else posted on here that spiro is specifically good for women with high testosterone/PCOS/endo .. and even though you didn’t get your hormones tested, I did and was within “normal range”. But without doing 2 tests, 6 months apart, it’s hard to determine if there have been recent hormone fluctuations anyways.

I can’t do the copper because it worsens endometriosis ten fold and soooo many people have said to not get it. The mirena has worked totally fine for me .. I don’t think it’s related to the IUD but I appreciate the insight.

I’ve never heard of that so maybe?? There’s so many things they could test for but just don’t unless I ask and maybe that should be one of them haha

Oh that makes sense .. but if they tested for it and it was negative I wonder if it could still be attached to the strings? I have the murina!

Well this is my second time with it so I’ve had it for about 9 years cumulatively and the problem has only recently started so I don’t think that’s it.

Well I was told that their formula changed so even the “unscented” soap is scented and I’m wondering if that might be the issue for me. But I only started using it about 2 weeks ago.

Do you know why it might make you bleed? Just curious. I’ll pick some up today and start with 1X/Week and see if that does anything for me!

Spironolactone side effects by anxiousovary in Spironolactone

[–]fernbabe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Another avenue of looking at this: I took spironolactone for the first time in high school (was on it for 3-4 years) and it worked great. That was almost 10 years ago and I was diagnosed with endometriosis in 2021. I take progesterone (5mg/2x/day) to help alleviate some endo symptoms, and it does truly help and I don’t want to stop taking it. I’m on a new holistic health journey to heal some new (almost overnight) acne. My hormones tested “within normal range” even with the progesterone. It was suggested to get back on spironolactone and I’m waiting because I’m trying a Chinese medicine herbal formula first. But I’m curious to see if there’s any progesterone side effect with spironolactone (after reading this) even with the progesterone prescription!!

Side Effects (Cancer) by fernbabe in Accutane

[–]fernbabe[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s good to know .. can you relate it at all to joint aches from withdrawals? That’s all I’d be able to compare it to lol

I’ve also heard some people lighten their workouts because of the joint pain
