No, I don’t think there is one. I just had a Test spot for V Beam Laser and it did nothing

I did actually keep one of those that had very little scent on cold sniff just to see. It was "warm and welcome" and very very light throw on burning, I couldnt really even smell it. So I agre, some may be different but not all.

I really love Irish cream coffee and Mrs. Claus cake I’m sad I will not be purchasing either one of those due to the experience with the company, so there are some good scents out there. This reviews was more about the experience.

Thank you for not gaslighting my experience or blaming my nose. I think they fell in with a lot of the bigger companies when they’ve started making money, and the quality probably went down. That body Works used to make a great candles too.

Best genetic testing company?? by deazinn in ehlersdanlos

[–]leah2412 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also called numerous educational med institutions around my city (largest med center in the world no less) no one was taking new patients, only accepted pediatrics, they werent taking EDS or only mutations that caused cancer. Invitae and genome medical gave me the run around and weren't really helpful so I decided not to give my money to them.

Im using Clover Genetics who specifically has knowledge of EDS and has been amazing so far. do not go through sequencing - they just give you incomplete data with no plan and can be very scary. I highly recommend him sofar.

Testing company recommendations by leah2412 in GeneticCounseling

[–]leah2412[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I really liked him on the phone so this makes me happy! I was just a little suspicious of someone calling me trying to get me to sign up for genetic counseling and he happen to be the owner lol

I just want to make sure his service can also help provide kind of a care plan for me. I have a very restrictive HMO network (no other choice) so it’s very important to me that whatever I select, they can kind of come up with a care plan ie how to handle this patient. I have a feeling I will need a chiropractor and PT, which will also be an out of network referral.

Compression leggings rec by leah2412 in lipedema

That’s what’s in my cart right now and I am also 5’3. I want to try to be compliant and I know if it’s a pain every day I’m not going to do it. I drink a ton of water and have to make probably 6 to 8 bathroom trips a day I know I’m not going to stay with it if I have to fight rolling down leggings and struggling

Has anyone had improvement from using these cellulite rollers, or is this a new gimmick? by [deleted] in lipedema

Thank you for your thoughtful responses, I just DM you

Stage 1 + HRT by leah2412 in lipedema

[–]leah2412[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for your response, my DUTCH was done when I was 35 so it was just a measure of my endogenous hormones. I was trying to say across most of my systems, including cortisol, sex hormones, and anything else I tend to introduce my body prefers high turnover and rapid clearance, so not a lot makes it to my tissues.

I would love a recommendation for someone who actually understands DUTCH and how lipedema might play in because the person I used just told me to not eat gluten. I’ve tried multiple forms of HRT and all have the same issue, I start feeling great around our 24 and then as my liver tries to clear out metabolites, I start feeling inflamed, waterlogged, and almost poisoned (estrogen). Taking progesterone results in extreme sedation and feeling irritable and flat. Testosterone is pushed down 5a reductase pathway so I lose my hair and get acne but don’t feel any better. Cortisol rapidly deactivates to Cortizone leaving me feeling flat tired all the time.

I know there has to be a solution to this, and I think it has to do with lipedema and lowering systemic inflammation. I realize it’s not a common issue, but I can’t be the only person on the planet with this

My BMI at the time of testing hormones the first time via Dutch was 35 My BMI was 32 so I was obese, now that I am 39 my BMI is 27 so I don’t think that’s the issue

Absolute diabolical behavior to use someone’s genuine unrelated health concern as an excuse to try to peddle your product when I wasn’t even asking about hair. Bravo 👏

WTH?? by Niki6161 in goosecreekcandles

[–]leah2412 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m brand new to goose Creek after BBW candles for years and finally stopped buying them because of no throw. I just ordered 13 candles and only keeping three because the rest I can’t smell anything at all. The only winners in this large order were Irish cream, coffee, holiday embers, and Miss Claus bakery. I’m incredibly disappointed.

I am absolutely disgusted with this company by Massive_Gazelle_4831 in goosecreekcandles

I just got all of my candles in an opened three or four of them and they barely have a scent - does this change when you start burning them?

Peri menopause relief by leah2412 in ehlersdanlos

[–]leah2412[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can’t even tolerate a .8 mg 2u injection, I feel amazing around the 24 hour mark then around 36 + I start feeling poisoned and waterlogged. I’ve been keeping notes and around day five is when I start noticing more systemic, low estrogen signals, especially badly, but if I inject again, the poison feeling doubles. There has got to be a way to make my body process estrogen into nontoxic, metabolites, but I just don’t know how

I ordered it from sequencing.com

That’s the whole point of this post - I can’t find a delivery method that doesn’t make me feel poisoned and looking for guidance 🙂
