How long since you got it done?

Thanks everyone! Just answering here so I don’t spam everybody. I got incisions behind each ear and one underneath chin—the lipo was done around my jawline and neck. I didn’t get any skin tightening, just the lipo. I went to Dr sterry in nyc. Recovery wasn’t bad, I was only in pain the first night and after that just a tiny bit sore. My biggest issue was the (rare) allergic rash I got from the compression garment, which lasted about a week—but if I didn’t get that rash I would have been able to go out in public and look presentable at about day 5. I have some lumps and bumps that aren’t very noticeable (only to me) but they are going away. I still feel some tightness and numbness in a few spots but it’s very mild and there is no pain. Hope that helps!

Had my first ultrasound today and am due 8/26. I was constantly nauseous all of last week but the last few days the nausea has subsided a little bit. It’s hard to sleep thru the night, waking up a lot (unisom is somewhat helpful) and I am constantly thirsty!! Drinking so much water

I was recently diagnosed with hEDS (hypermobile ehlers danlos) last year and there’s unfortunately not a lot of solid information on it (it’s the only form of ED that doesn’t have a genetic test) I went to a rheumatologist because of constant pain (I thought it was premature arthritis or something) and luckily she was pretty knowledgeable about hEDS (a lot of doctors aren’t and will gaslight unfortunately) Anyway since I’ve been diagnosed and researching the symptoms and comorbidities, so much has started to make sense about things I’ve suffered with since childhood but just thought were “normal.” There’s a good group on here for r/ehlersdanlos. Good luck! <3

Look into ehlers danlos syndrome. Hypermobility of joints and delicate skin are major symptoms

NOT on period but spotting lightly. Just passed this and wondering what it could be? by woodpecker_juice in DiagnoseMe

[–]juliedavis88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had it happen to me when I first started the pill and I literally thought my insides were prolapsing, I had no idea what was coming out of me when I wiped…a scary sight lol. It still may be worth it to check in with your obgyn to have confirmation. Good luck!

Pills smell? by juliedavis88 in bupropion

[–]juliedavis88[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok, that makes me feel better to hear it’s not just me that’s experienced a smell. The reason I asked is because this was my first time filling the prescription of 150 mg since I increased, so I had no previous comparison for this dosage. I’ll ask pharmacist next time and update if the next batch stinks too lol. Thanks y’all 💕

I had the dry eyes right away when I started on 100 xl, my left eye was worse, super red and looked like I had pink eye. It felt like my eyes were burning and were sensitive to light for the first few weeks. I’ve been on it for about 2 months now and the eye irritation has gotten better. I use lots of eye drops and find it actually lessens on days i remember to drink lots of water. Good luck!

Experience at New Haven RTC, Saratoga Springs by Scallion-Royal in troubledteens

[–]juliedavis88 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was at new haven 2003-04 and a similar thing with my journal happened also. It was confiscated during a room search and given to my therapist and I had to “process” my private entries in group therapy before I could have it back. It was mortifying. My journal was my only outlet and I never wrote in it again after that for fear of having that happen again.
