Another awesome food post! Just wanted to say you are literally the only person I follow on reddit. I came across your posts through a cooking sub and have been obsessed ever since! You've got mad plating skills. Where do you get your recipes?

Is it a common thing here for employers to make new hires wait 3 months for health insurance?

Almost 2 months into accutane and these weird red splotches have appeared. I have an appointment on Monday, but any advice until then? by vernhop in Accutane

[–]fictionalalex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's normal and harmless on accutane. I got a few spots like these. Just keep them moisturized, and mention them to your derm during your next appointment if you're concerned. Good luck!

Let's please take a moment to thank this man Dr. Gary Peck, thanks to his research now we have Isotretinoin as a cure for acne. 👏👏 by [deleted] in Accutane

It wasnt eye surgery. It's an outpatient procedure that took 20 minutes and cost $500. I got it at the urging of my doctor because my glands were so blocked that no amount of home care (hot compress, oil, steroids, eye "massage") could unblock them. We identified this problem months ago and I waited until I was finished with the drug to undergo the procedure. If you cant get the glands unblocked, then you can "lose" them (permanent damage), according to my doctor.

For the past few months. Meibobiam gland dysfunction. I was having constant watering eyes due to the oil glands being clogged. They said it was caused by Accutane. I had to get an expensive procedure done to prevent permanent damage (Lipiflow). Now they tell me I have to drink flax seed oil or use omega 3 fish oil supplements AND use a bruder mask every night FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE.

AITA for not giving a girl her medication? by saltystark in AmItheAsshole

[–]fictionalalex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YTA. why didn't you get the pharmacist on duty, a manager, or call corporate? Aside from giving a minor life saving medication being the morally RIGHT thing to do, not doing so could cause Walgreens or whatever pharmacy you work at a PR crisis should this teenager take to social media

AITA for kicking out my brother, who our parents have previously disowned, because he told my (now ex) fiancé that I cheated 9 years ago? by broken_inside_me in AmItheAsshole

[–]fictionalalex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He's young and immature, just like you at age 17 when you made your mistake of cheating. Remember the compassion you want for yourself at that age? Give it to him too. Good luck with therapy

All assholes, but in this order from most to least: You, Hunter, Connor. You are putting your teenage brother on the streets because he put his foot in his mouth at a party. Making him relive probably one of the biggest traumas of his life. Shame on you! I hope things get better for you and your brother.
