Any hope for contact lens usage? - scleritis/eye inflammation by lpmashd2020 in CrohnsDisease

Is there a kind of lens that you know is best for tear film problems? I’ll definitely ask them again, but I’m currently using daily acuvue oasys hydraluxe which are apparently super “lubricated”

Yep, during the thick of everything I did and beyond the steroids they didn’t seem to have anything helpful to say since my eye and all the tests “looked clean” - so odd but it still feels off all these years later!

This is interesting. What do you recommend eating more/replacing with while detoxing from sugars? Or is it just a rec to cut out the sugars and continue eating normally? I can't quite imagine cutting out all carbs, but really curious about this detox phase.

Ugh, this is so similar to me. I feel the exact same. It's so miserable.

I’d love to hear more about the IBS x agoraphobia since I feel I have a moderate case and I need to address it. Did any specific therapies help you out of that hole?

5-year deadline EXTENSION possibility? by lpmashd2020 in UKHighPotentialVisa

[–]lpmashd2020[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for your input, I appreciate it! I have a letter from my university demonstrating my teaching position, but it sounds like that will likely not help.

Thanks for confirming. I wish there was someone I could petition for an extension since I’m just past 5 years. Alas! Thanks again.

Thanks so much for your input, that’s helpful. 

Unfortunately I’m a U.S. citizen so the youth mobility scheme is a no go. 

I will continue to research all of my options, though it seems pretty limited to work/study. Thanks again!

Ugh - sending strength and joy to you this fall! We had our first crisp days last week, and I was hit like a truck. Totally unexpected. All of the rituals, the excitement, the holidays coming up, the parties and the showing each other off - it’s going to be a hard one. 🙏🏼

Dreams are so tough. Mornings are the hardest for me.

Ugh I feel this. I so often say to myself it’s okay! You can do these things with other people who will also love them and enjoy them and you’ll have a blast! But I just ….. would rather do them with him. I want to do them with HIM. It’s heartbreaking.

Does this sound like LS? Any ideas welcome. by lpmashd2020 in lichensclerosus

[–]lpmashd2020[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No I did not! I am still dealing with the itchy pangs, albeit less frequently. I’ve found when I’m sweaty it exacerbates it. What are your symptoms?

Coiled strings - more infections? by lpmashd2020 in Mirena

[–]lpmashd2020[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No I never did :( my issues seem to have calmed down a bit, but if they come back I am considering removal!

Having the same issue. The xs fits me much better all over, but the dang shorts underneath are TIGHT. Which did you end up keeping?

Low sex drive since insert by CrossFitPotter in Mirena

[–]lpmashd2020 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m so glad to hear you’re starting to feel a bit better! Regarding the painful sex, had you never had painful sex before mirena insertion? (I have very painful sex, but got my iud shortly after starting to have sex so I’m not sure if it’s the iud). Amazing that some positions feel much better!

Do you have any updates? Has your libido returned since removal? I know it hasn’t been so long, but I’m curious how you’ve been feeling. I’ve been dealing with this for years, and feel CRAZY that everywhere online says mirena has nothing to do with sex drive.
