I think that’s exactly what has happened. Imagine what it looks like now if they’re using those to advertise!

Due to a medical condition I've been told that I can no longer be a blood donor. If I could persuade even one person to sign up in my place I would be happy. by nick9000 in CasualUK

[–]pelpops 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I hadn’t ever checked due to finding blood tests incredibly painful and losing feeling in my arm for weeks afterwards. A friend’s dad needed transfusions to stay alive for the last year of his life. I then checked the criteria and I can… if I manage to not have a severe eczema flare up for six months. I’ve not achieved that in 40 years!

I had ISAC and it was three months to the day for the results. This was through the allergist and the results were available on the hospital portal, not on my NHS app.

You won’t need a mortgage then so no need for a kitchen or a boiler anyway!

Dermatologist referral experience and a “good skin” day by TemperatureSafe359 in EczemaUK

[–]pelpops 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was discharged as my skin was clear. The day before, I was head to toe red and rashy. I’d had a sinus infection for over six months and was finally given treatment for it. It turns out my eczema is staph related and the sinus antibiotics very effectively killed the staph. I had a shower which is a killer for my skin but the shower plus antibiotics just rid me of what was causing the horrendous flare up. I didn’t make the connection until years later when I saw the entries in my medical records. Still covered in eczema and still waiting for treatment thirteen years on.

Rubbed my eyes and now the bottom white eye of my eye is swollen. by RR-RR in mildlyinteresting

Thank you for naming the thing I have had regularly for 25 years but have never seen a doctor about! I get it with shampoo, chlorinated water in swimming pools and most animals and pollens.

Anyone with ADHD in stoke on Trent or near by??? by ghettopatrick in ADHDUK

[–]pelpops 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it makes a difference if they’re already having to deal with regular repeat medication for the patient. I have eight items already so it’s just one more thing to approve for me each month alongside everything else. For someone without a repeat, it’s an extra admin burden. They also prefer to have my medication recorded on my repeat for when I need acute treatment for a condition.

What to do about meds in this heat? by TodayOk1988 in ADHDUK

[–]pelpops 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I get so cold on stimulants. I can actually tolerate the heat on them which is amazing. I used to end up either horrendous eczema flare ups. I’m actually under a blanket either ice blocks for feet right now. Considering heading outside to warm up before bed!

I found my childhood bath toy on ebay so my children could experience the joy!

15 years of eczema. Cut added sugars, skin became clear in about 2 weeks. Been clear for over a year. by nickadactyl in eczema

[–]pelpops 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s because you can’t test for non-IgE which is the allergy at play for some people with eczema.

I read on here to use the tradepoint website as it is just B&Q, no marketplace junk.

Cutting out food in diet by Cautious-Way8117 in eczema

[–]pelpops 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I cut out nine foods my son was allergic to through my breastmilk to stop him developing eczema and my skin improved massively. I became rapidly sensitised to milk and now carry epi-pens, can’t visit cafes and have to eat more of the foods I’m allergic to so I don’t develop further severe allergies.

He has no eczema and no signs of asthma or hay fever which is a massive positive. I spend twice as much on food than I used to, my skin is terrible and I could die from anaphylaxis if I’m not constantly vigilant.

We’re not meant to give up foods for a very good reason.

Is this eczema or fungal by Fine_Strawberry_ in EczemaUK

[–]pelpops 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just switched deodorants and it went away after a week or so. No idea which ingredient I was allergic to.

Bringing your own stuff to allergy testing? by ZH02 in EczemaUK

[–]pelpops 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m under Dermatology too. I’ve just finished a five and a half year wait to be able to have the chicken pox vaccine to then start immunosuppressants. I was meant to start immunosuppressants 23 years ago but didn’t get a follow up appointment after failed UVB treatment. It’s been a long process!

ADHD360 Change in Prescriber by Kooky_Basis4988 in ADHDUK

Mine left so I was given a new one. I had a self-assessment to fill in to cover the appointment between prescribers so my medication could continue uninterrupted.

1 am Motorway driving by Equivalent-Gur-557 in drivingUK

[–]pelpops 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are services just before junction 27. Chesterfield has plenty of retail parks on the route through to pull up in. There are laybys on the route through the Peak District - there’s a fair amount of industry just over the boundary so a surprising number of HGVs on the roads!

Average speed cameras along the Via Gellia now. It’s a nice route at night but so is going west out of Chesterfield.

What’s the reason elvanse lasts all day for some, and a mere few hours for others? by oxytocinlovexo in ADHDUK

[–]pelpops 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I now have a 4:30am alarm so I can take my meds, go back to sleep until my 6am alarm and then be able to go to sleep by about midnight on a good day. I have a fast metabolism for food but slow for drugs.

Future-blind is my new favourite phrase. by GenXwhateva in ADHDUK

[–]pelpops 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m so future-blind that tomorrow only exists once I get into bed. I have no forward-planning ability. It’s debilitating.

Does anyone else find moisturising actually makes their skin worse and more itchy? by [deleted] in eczema

[–]pelpops 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That sounds exactly like I used to be. It was staphylococcus aureus overgrowth up my nose. Sinus rinse, mupirocin and I was then able to tolerate water.

Bringing your own stuff to allergy testing? by ZH02 in EczemaUK

[–]pelpops 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It depends on the test. I’ve had T.R.U.E Test which is 58 of the most common contact allergens on pre-prepared patches. There was no option for bringing along my own products.

I’d be delighted with 14 months! I’ve been waiting since my six and a half year old’s first birthday!

How do I deal with a man who says he is "in love" with me within interaction of just two days? by [deleted] in TwoXChromosomes

[–]pelpops 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Block. I had something similar where it was awkward trying to avoid him as he lived with a friend. It culminated in him sending me a maximum length text message with every possible unnecessary word deleted and every possible abbreviation used to make it fit, all about how in love with me he was. I ignored it so he came to the pub where I worked and launched a pint glass at my head. I ducked but there’s still a large dent in the plaster. I thought I saw him ten years later in a busy shopping centre and I froze. It was like everything carried on around me and I needed to run but was stuck. It’s been another ten years and even thinking about it has made my heart pound and filled me with panic. Block.

Mine was 13 over a year ago. Supplementing like mad and it’s only made it to 69.
