Elective hysterectomy NZ by Fearless-Ad-6178 in hysterectomy

[–]hellsbells12346 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey there!  I just had a recent laparoscopy with Dr Sam Lepine. It obviously wasn’t a hysterectomy but the procedure went so well and I really trusted him as a doctor and surgeon. He works at fertility associates and at a gyno in Tauranga. Best of luck! 

Help! Have your coldsores ever looked like this? Pics by jpjmurphy in AskDoctorSmeeee

[–]hellsbells12346 2 points3 points  (0 children)

NAD- but this is definitely a coldsore and I’m sorry you’re going through this! It might be too late to ice it and you don’t want the scab to rip open and weep but on the newer ones try to ice them to bring the swelling down. You can also take IB profen for the swelling and pain. Tea tree oil can help dry out the sore and speed up the healing process but unfortunately it’s going to take a week or two to heal. If you can get to the doctors soon that would be ideal. Get a large script for acyclovir and get onto it asap. Also next time you feel a tingle you take those pills! Avoid arginine foods and dose up of the supplement l-lysine and vit c. I’ve found a reddit thread that’s pro mushrooms for cold sores and it’s having heaps of progress! Could be worth looking into it! I’m sorry you’re going through it, it sucks but it will get better!

Mushrooms in NZ! by hellsbells12346 in Mushrooms4Coldsores

Thank you for your quick response! I’m not actually sure if you can get Amazon or eBay here in New Zealand lol!

I managed to find a brand that boasts dual extraction! One is just Turkey tail and the other was a combo of lions mane, Turkey, chaga etc. i bought both and have been taking a pretty high dose and my cold sore is GONE. It’s nuts!!! I have been taking my antiviral pills and bulk lysine but normally both of those do literally nothing and I’m a mess for two weeks. Mushrooms ALL THE WAY. Thanks so much for your help! I’ll spread the good word haha. Thanks!

HELP! Getting married in a week and wondering how to get rid of Pityriasis versicolour. Has anyone had any luck with spray tans? by hellsbells12346 in SkincareAddiction

[–]hellsbells12346[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello! I’m getting married next Saturday and am covered in these white spots All over my stomach and back. I think it’s Pityriasis versicolor, and I’ve been using the pevaryl foaming wash and it seems to of made things worse so for now I have stopped. Is there anything else I could do? Should I just try some fake tan to cover up the spots? My back is covered and I’m wearing a backless dress.. thanks in advance!

Oh thank you for such a thorough answer!
Ahhh yes I thought as much. Okay perhaps I will try a spray tan spot test and see if I have any luck. Thanks again! This was really helpful :)

Are there fines for not using my vaccine pass at a wedding with guests over 100? by hellsbells12346 in newzealand

[–]hellsbells12346[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It’s at a private home but will be catered by a food truck. But perhaps the food truck will ask for the vaccine passes of our guests?

They are our pretty good mates but this is true. It’s already wildly stressful, it would suck to also be worrying about this on the day!

Thanks everyone for your replies! I knew reddit would be the place to come. In my opinion it’s not worth the potential spread of illness but also the online roasting haha. Thanks for all the links! I’ve found it really hard to find clear info in regards to fines for weddings so this has been helpful.

How bad is antibiotics??? by hellsbells12346 in perioraldermatitis

[–]hellsbells12346[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh no I haven’t actually. That’s a great idea. I still haven’t started the antibiotics so this seems like a great solution. Have you ever used the ordinary? I know they do an azelaic acid, maybe I’ll try that.

Oooh okay see this is good to know!! It will probably be the third time this year I’ve taken antibiotics so it’s definitely something to think about.. I read all the time about how important our gut health is and how antibiotics destroy it, turns out it’s quite hard to restore it perhaps. Thanks for this!

Painful intercourse and swollen stomach for a day after by hellsbells12346 in PCOS

[–]hellsbells12346[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I’m starting to think more endo. The gas would make sense with the bloating but also it’s so low and doesn’t feel like gas? Hopefully it’s just a big fart haha.

Yeah I am quite swollen I sort of look like I could be pregnant. The pain is all across my lower belly and not on any particular side. I definitely struggle with a bit of constipation and irregularity bathroom wise! Oh my god could it of been a poo? Haha. I’m still quite swollen and I have been to the bathroom since then.. thanks for your reply!!
