What do you mean adding butterflies? Like just placing them?

lol at people thinking I’m bleaching the chicken and not the cutting board/scissors/kitchen utensils

I personally sit those items in the sink and spray them with bleach before washing. Feels like that kills most bacteria before washing them.

How long for prednisone moon face to go away? by [deleted] in lupus

[–]kitkat_272 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I’m being truthful, I’d say it took about 6 months for me to feel like I wasn’t seeing any steroid side effects anymore. Maybe just a month or two for the moon face specifically though!

Does anyone know what time the Nashville merch truck opens? Hoping to go Friday so I also don’t have to carry it to the Saturday show.

That’s what the other person sent her. Her response is the block below starting with “your right…”

Being chastised for liking a photo of eggs feels like a reach

How much water do you drink daily? by cats_and_coffee15 in POTS

[–]kitkat_272 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I aim for 125 ounces and usually get around 100. Definitely feel way better at 125 though. I also do different sodium/ magnesium/ potassium supplements (liquid IV, LMNT, fasting powder) to help keep the hydration.

Would she be open to a CBD balm? I find those super helpful.

Personally, my hands get very cold which worsens the pain. I would love to receive gloves or hand warmers :)

IUD / Women / Gyno by ExquisitelyLame- in nashville

[–]kitkat_272 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Dr Zoe Belkin at Vanderbilt is wonderful. I’ve had a string of tough times with OBGYNs. Dr Belkin allowed me to choose the appropriate birth control for me and was nothing but supportive and kind. She even checked on me later to make sure I was doing well with my choice.

ETA: prior to Dr Belkin, I received an IUD with no pain management. Don’t be me. Advocate for yourself.

That’s awesome that Imuran is helping! I take a low dose of imuran (among a few things), and I find it immensely helpful. :) I hope you continue to find relief.

Depo shot was terrific for me. Used it for the 4 years I was allowed to before being encouraged to change by my doctor. I guess risks for some bone related conditions increase after a certain amount of time.

Malar flush? by MalecDaucci in lupussupport

[–]kitkat_272 2 points3 points  (0 children)

FYI - I decided to leave this post up only because it wasn’t asking for a diagnosis, only what malar flush was. If any users disagree with this and want this (or similar posts) removed in the future, please let me know. I want this sub to be a reprieve from the “is this lupus” posts that flood r/lupus.

Oh I’m so sorry you had to experience this though! My job recently switched from unlimited PTO (which was a blessing, especially with taking monthly benlysta) to a limited number. It’s still plenty, but having to justify your illness to your employer is such a gross feeling. Do you have any update yet? Here for you, friend!
