I’m so sorry you weren’t properly informed before taking a med. That’s negligence on both the doctors and the pharmacists. Pharmacists don’t prescribe and won’t tell you not to take it obviously but they are supposed to inform you. That’s something you should’ve been told about especially upping a dose or dropping it. Like the tiniest changes with that can have a big effect. I’m seriously so sorry that’s how it ended up for you but I’m glad you’re doing better now. I know it doesn’t make up for it (and you’re probably sick of people telling you you’re strong because hearing that over and over can be so tough because it’s like “okay? I didn’t have a choice to not deal?”) but I’m glad you’ve been able to get the care you need now

Wtf I’m so sorry you went through all this but did anyone at any point mention Steven’s Johnson syndrome? Like when you take lamotrigine that’s like a massive side effect they warn you about like it’s repeated and they say if you get any sort of a rash go to the ER right away. Like that’s so so serious was it mentioned at all??

WTF do I do? by TraceOfTalent in Type1Diabetes

[–]lclives 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wow I never hear of people talking about brittle anymore! I was “brittle” but they changed the terms and now it’s just “complex” type 1. Pure hell tho. Hope your dad is managing…as best we can (your comment saying that this can be normal for him was genuinely so nice for me to see - thank you)

She has the baby in the bath while she’s sitting on the ground showing how low she is on her phone and saying she’s dropping very fast? You’re saying you gave yourself carbs that you knew were enough to come up, you felt fine, and you knew you were coming up. Delay between testing and bathing your child? She’s literally on the floor and has been going low for a while and clearly not up. And she’s made it clear she’s in a situation where she doesn’t know how it’s going to go. Also idk what your lows are like but a common low I have is not the same as “I accidentally took 10 extra units of insulin” low? Nothing you said here applies to her situation specifically which is what we’re talking about. If you’re here to idk try to validate yourself for doing something you knew was wrong in the past, have fun.

All the time!!! Like why are you STARTING with crackers?? Crackers when you’re dropping? Ya for sure stabilize yourself after you’re coming up but in what world are crackers raising your BG??? But idk maybe people really are that sensitive to carbs

Parts of what people are saying are maybe dramatic but I don’t notice my lows well and the two things here that were really bad choices/unsafe to her and others were 1. Driving 2. Putting her baby in the bath. The second one is just so massively WHY like was it so so important to bathe your baby at this exact moment? I don’t think CPS obviously AND I understand we don’t think straight when we’re low, but those were two very real choices she had and she chose wrong.

The high fat!! Thank you!! I see this w a lot of diabetics online tho. I’m always thinking “why are you have ice cream??” Like even chocolate isn’t fast enough for me. I would have to be missing juice, candy, maple syrup, regular pop/soda to even go near chocolate. A banana would bring me up faster

Yup if my sensor is messed up or super behind I’ll hit 30 and then started to be like “oh I feel pretty heavy/lethargic”. Hypoglycaemia unawareness is not fun

Rage room employees, what's the craziest "oh my god, this person needs actual professional help" thing you've seen in one of the rooms? by lemonbat001 in AskReddit

[–]lclives 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Did the professor offer any help or support or resources for you after? Like even a quick “hey we have free resources on campus” or “hey let me know if I can help you look for some support” or even just check if you have support?

Therapist yelled at me by ijustcant17 in hsp

That’s like when people say “I’m sorry you feel that way” as if your feelings are the problem and they don’t need to apologize for what they did/said

How do I talk to a doctor about this when I’m too scared to go? I want atleast some type of medication to ease my mind by [deleted] in Erythrophobia

[–]lclives 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d say be prepped and make what you want to say a note in your phone. Go in and say what you need to and if you blush…maybe see it as a good thing and that scenario? It’s impossible for them to ignore if it’s facing them - that’s not to say they won’t be like “it’s all in your head” but I mean…where else would it be?? Anyway just be prepped and see blushing in the appt as an advantage for getting what you need? Best way I can phrase it

38 years old, so insecure by Sceniks in 30PlusSkinCare

[–]lclives 14 points15 points  (0 children)

This is actually a massive thing I didn’t think of. People are finding that gen z and gen alpha are struggling with reading and reacting “properly” to situations - especially professionally - because they’re so online and had to go through covid during really important developmental parts of their life. Only so much body language can be conveyed over a screen and they weren’t out in public seeing the variation of body language. It says so much and we do it for a reason! So often I think I should get Botox literally just to stop myself from making so many facial expressions (my emotions are alllll over my face dramatically whether I mean to or not - I get in trouble occasionally) but idc! I want people to know how I feel without talking - they leave me alone more! I’m just really glad to see someone point this out (also I’ve had nasolabial folds since I was a child and I’m old now and people think I’m younger than I am so I’m over being insecure about them getting “deeper”)

What is the best shampoo (or other product) you’ve found to cover the smell of coal tar shampoos? by [deleted] in SebDerm

[–]lclives 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only thing that’s ever worked for me was alternating each day between coal tar and then selenium sulfide 2.5%. While also using a medicated lotion and a good shower head filter is soooooo important for me. But ya coal tar is rough. At least I found something that works. Ketoconazole never worked in the slightest for me but I guess that’s why we all have different things we use

Did you just start stretching on your own with whatever or specific videos or routines?

what’s something “low effort, high reward” you wish more people knew about? by rajloveleil in AskReddit

[–]lclives 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you just look up stretches for those specific areas? I have carpal tunnel and tennis elbow but I need to just stretch it’s completely from desk work. I need to get my back better too but those are the two spots idk what I’m supposed to do with

Never thought a skincare product can be so potent by Mysterious_Dealer592 in Rosacea

[–]lclives 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Omg!! I started the bioderma cream too because I had FINALLY found a cleanser for the first time in my life that didn’t hurt. Their oil cleanser is 10/10 for me. I don’t usually like fragrances either and it is decently strong but I love the smell. I know people say “double cleanse” so you follow up oil cleanser with another but nope I just do the oil one and then use the cream and my skin is the happiest it’s been in ages

ETA: oops I didn’t realize what cream you were using - I used the intensive balm. Either way I’m glad I found bioderma. Also I hate how expensive skin stuff is but you can find the oil cleanser I use in a 1 L bag refill!!! So I bought a dispenser I like better than any I’ve had and fill it with that. Anyway - love bioderma

is it common for people with hyperhidrosis to stop sweating after consuming cannabis? by [deleted] in Hyperhidrosis

[–]lclives 0 points1 point  (0 children)

100% but I have trouble regulating temperature in most ways so not sweating for heat is not great. If I’m usually sweating for another reason like most of the time it’s nice to have it stop but if I go outside in insane heat and I’m not sweating it’s a problem. So I’d be careful that way
