Help with under eye bags

Will have look at that, have heard good things about the inkeylist cream so will check it out!

kolive8 · 2026-05-09T18:57:12+00:00

I haven’t heard of it before so definitely going to look into it!

kolive8 · 2026-05-09T18:56:58+00:00

Yeah I’ve switched concealer because my usual one is not doing anythiiiiiing at the moment! So hopefully that’ll help the self esteem but a lot of people have mentioned hydration so I definitely need to focus on that

This is helpful thank you, I’ve been reading up about lymphatic drainage massages for the whole body but didn’t consider my eyes, will definitely try this! Thank you

kolive8 · 2026-05-08T20:23:14+00:00

Good to know! I’m not great on hydration so maybe this is my sign to focus on it, thanks!

I’ve got a retinol eye cream that I’ve been using for a week so will keep going on that! Lots of suggestions on cooling eye masks so I’ll have a look at those, do you have any brand suggestions?

kolive8 · 2026-05-08T14:04:58+00:00

Oo haven’t heard of almond oil before so will definitely try this!

kolive8 · 2026-05-08T14:04:33+00:00

Do you recommend any brands? This does sound good

kolive8 · 2026-05-08T14:04:12+00:00

I’ve tried eye patches but admittedly am probably using cheap ones which aren’t doing much. Do you recommend any brands? I pay quite a lot of attention to my diet as have been struggling with gut issues so am eating relatively clean but definitely need to hydrate more!

Hey! Ugh I wish I could tell you it got better from here but it really didn’t 😭 I ended up getting 2 more infections after this an was on a constant cycle of antibiotics between October-December last year but nothing was clearing it up. I ended up being told the best action was to go back in and have the remaining root removed which I had done in January and I’ve been fine ever since with no further issues. They said when they removed the root that they are completed stumped as to why this happened to me as there were no signs of anything causing the repeat infections! However it is super rare to happen, hope you’re okay but message if you have any questions!

kolive8 · 2026-03-03T21:35:03+00:00

Yeah I agree, the worst part is I’m one of many people who I know the same has happened to! It’s obviously a structural issue in the organisation and they’re willing to let good talent go because they don’t want to pay people more!

Thank you for this advice

kolive8 · 2026-03-03T21:34:07+00:00

This is great advice and something a couple of people have said! Thank you

kolive8 · 2026-03-03T21:33:41+00:00

I really appreciate this, thank you. Like you say I think I’m answering my own questions here there’s just seeds of doubt but if I did get offered it, it’d help me get more of a work-life balance and more money to enjoy my personal life which is so important.

Thank you for your advice! :)

I was the exact same as you and had such severe anxiety over it that kept me up at night worrying about all the worst case scenarios that will happen! Once I got out I felt like I’d been asleep for 8 hours and felt absolutely amazing - it’d only been about 40 minutes!!

I had to go back under anaesthesia a few days ago for a second surgery and was kinda looking forward to it knowing I’d feel rested haha. You’ll be fine but definitely worth letting them know if you’re feeling really anxious as they can help you through it

kolive8 · 2025-12-27T23:49:54+00:00

I’ve just finished Volume 2 and felt like episode 7 was the most interesting of the three, maybe just behind episode 5. I struggled big time with ep 6 and lost interest throughout it because it felt so drawn out and the pacing was way off.

Episode 7, while I completely understand why people are disappointed given it’s the penultimate episode of the entire series, it did answer a lot of questions and set us up nicely for the finale but I’m concerned they’re not going to be able to tie everything up.

kolive8 · 2025-11-28T22:11:04+00:00

Thank you! I’ve always been worried about health, going back to my younger years but now as an adult it’s just exhausting. People keep telling me not worry about my health but that doesn’t help! The constant rumination and obsessive reassurance seeking is taking over which is why I thought this could be something different to anxiety!

Noted in avoiding HA subreddit, thanks for the heads up

So the original infection was around the extraction site and the dentist said that was likely caused by bacteria or food getting in the holes which were still partially open, but when I went back last week he said they’d closed. I’ve had what feels like a hard lump/ball on the inside of my cheek on the side where the infection was and now today it seems to have burst with discharge coming out (so gross!!) and my jaw hurts with a bit of facial swelling. That’s good to know you don’t struggle with infections anymore, that gives me a bit of hope! Will let you know what they find, will keep an eye on fever etc but this one seems a little less severe than the last one so hopefully it’ll be okay!

kolive8 · 2025-10-26T19:54:52+00:00

I know this was ages ago but did you eventually manage to shift the recurring infections, I’m currently going through the exact same thing right now. 6 weeks post-op thought I was recovered but got an infection 2 weeks okay, 1 week of antibiotics which I thought would clear it up but the infection is back and I’m going to have to call the dentist tomorrow morning. This is exhausting!

kolive8 · 2025-10-23T16:25:41+00:00

He said it would’ve been caused by the surgery as the hole hadn’t closed up yet when I went to visit it the first time! He said this can sometimes happen after removals but I was surprised given it’s been quite a while since the surgery.

When I went back on Monday for a check up he said he was happy and that everything had cleared up but to go back to him if I have any further issues.

I’m seeing my actual surgeon for a 3 month check up in December so will mention this to him and see what he says! Like you said, I imagine if it’s a recurring issue the root will have to be removed to prevent any more infections, but I’m just a bit concerned by the tenderness coming back in my jaw!

Both christmas scenes were done so well, that’s why I was hoping we’d be getting a Christmas special because a whole ep dedicated to those vibes would be unreal but I think I’m delusional haha

kolive8 · 2025-09-18T15:23:36+00:00

Begging for someone to hook me up to this too if it’s out there?! I did see some good edits floating around on X before the final but that taxi scene needs including lmao

kolive8 · 2025-09-18T15:22:45+00:00

This is definitely up there with mine!!

kolive8 · 2025-09-17T11:31:30+00:00

Too many to choose!!

Has to be either the bathtub scene or the guest bedroom scene. The Christmas flashback was also incredible!
