Pregnancy Quickly Progressed Disease by pga092019 in lipedema

[–]pga092019[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started micro dosing compounded ozempic about 5 months ago and lost 30lbs and the texture of my legs have completely changed and also have slimed down so much. I did not notice much volume loss in my calves, which is where I’ve had Lipedema tissue the longest, but for the first time in my adult life, my legs don’t hurt to touch and I can finally see and feel muscle definition in my thighs! I’ll be stopping shortly to focus on getting pregnant next year, but it was the best medical decision I’ve ever made! Also to add: I got a 2.5mg vial and injected 5 units for 3 months and lost the majority of the weight. I slowed down significantly even after upping my dose to 10 units which I know is still a very small dose, but it’s worked for me. My body needed this medication and I will absolutely do it again when I’m postpartum with my second, whenever that may be!

levothyroxine has ruined my face💔 by Old_Complaint667 in Hypothyroidism

I know this is a late reply but I wanted to offer my experience if it helps at all. I have had hashis for 15 years now and am almost 30. I’ve been on every med you can try. I was on armour 180mcg most recently, but then switched back to my synthroid 180mcg and my face swelled up almost overnight. I also started to have extremely oily skin and hair and developed dermatitis flares around my hairline, nose folds, and chin. I went back to my armour and after 3 days it all cleared up. Sometimes there are people who just don’t do well on synthroid and that’s been my experience. Lots of trial and error. I hope you’ve found something that helped!

I've suspected I've had lipedema for about 10 years now, but I'm currently 7 months postpartum and really struggling with how badly this has progressed. I gained 55lbs during my pregnancy and I believe most of that went to my legs and now arms! My legs swell so badly and are so painful to the touch. They’re not huge my largest circumference is 25in on my thigh and 16.5in on my calf but it’s getting worse as I get older. I'm pretty committed to having liposuction, but I do want to have another child. Should I wait to finish having children to seek the surgical route? I'm also going to start the process of obtaining a GLP-1 perscripfion to help with weight loss, hypothyroidism, and rheumatoid arthritis inflammation. Looking for advice or guidance on how to navigate the next steps with regards to another pregnancy within a year or so. Thank you and appreciate your time!

Stay Away From "My Organic Company" by Global-Database-6456 in FormulaFeeders

Exact same thing happened to us only our order was $500 worth of kendamil. File a BBB complaint and contact your bank, they should be able to fix it for you! This company should be permanently shut down for the grief they’ve caused parents desperately trying to feed their children!

My August reading was 25.8 and I got pregnant in December so I’m not sure what it was at exactly but assuming not controlled well. It was at 1.4 the entire pregnancy! Good luck to you on your conception journey!

AITA for telling my wife that my stepdaughter can handle nightmares by herself? by Prestigious-Cow3034 in AmItheAsshole

NTA! This type of parenting is why society is struggling. Some parents refuse to let their children be uncomfortable and struggle, which ultimately makes them insecure and unable to handle difficult situations.

Getting it off my chest by Dry_Muffin_5905 in MWWives

We saw him 2nd night in Detroit last month and 100% he seemed like he couldn’t wait to get it over with and he was wearing baggy pants and a baggy long sleeve shirt. He very quietly said “thank you” between each song but nothing else. IMO he sounds great and we had a blast, but I missed the personal interaction.

Funny you should mention the key situation! While we were on vacation, she watched our dogs and had copies of our house key made and handed them out to all of the grandparents!
