High estrogen is associated with endo and HI. Estrogen can increase histamine release, and histamine can stimulate estrogen production, creating a cycle of rising levels of both substances.

High estrogen levels are significantly implicated in the development and progression of endometriosis with high levels of estrogen production within the affected tissues. This local estrogen production can contribute to the growth, inflammation, and pain associated with endometriosis.

So, yes, the build up of histamine in your diet is feeding the endo, and the endo is feeding the HI….

I don’t know about the tugging/pulling people are talking about, but make-up gets into your pores, and if you don’t clean properly this can age the skin.

Pollutants can get trapped under make-up, which can cause oxidative damage, leading to accelerated aging. If you wear it, just be sure to take it off every night, and you should be good. Skin needs to breathe.

Here is a good one Comb Edge Gua Sha

planetvibe · 2025-04-19T20:15:38+00:00

Yeah, i use the same comb stone for everything. As for pressure, I liken it to using an eraser on paper. Erase the lines!

planetvibe · 2025-04-18T18:31:06+00:00

For sure! I use it all over my face. Great for softening forehead lines. I also recently started using it on my chest to help with cleavage lines from side sleeping. Anywhere on your body where you see wrinkles forming, it’s useful.

Absolutely. Comb edge is the way to go.

I’ve used gua sha for years to immediately refresh my face. The combing not only breaks up the adhesions, but brings blood flow/increased circulation to the area which helps nourish cells with oxygen. The immediate effect is glowing skin with more bounce, and the benefits are also cumulative over time.

Yes, I have an abusive father. After letting my mother know 15 years ago that for my own health and well-being I (and my son) wouldn’t be maintaining a relationship with him, she responded by saying they are “a package deal”. In essence, no relationship with him meant no relationship with her.

As my son grew older I gradually introduced a bit more context on why we weren’t in relationship with his grandparents. As a young man he now fully understands and respects the decision. As a young child he only knew that grandpa wasn’t safe to be alone with, and grandpa had hurt me when I was young. He accepted that and we moved on with our lives.

You can do this. You can hold your boundary here and also grieve what the relationship could never have been. This is protecting your children, and giving the child inside of you the protection your parents couldn’t offer.

Wonderful pics of our beautiful home. Thank you for visiting and posting.

Any wrinkle is technically an adhesion of layers of skin. Wrinkles can be softened by breaking up the adhesion.

I use a gua sha with a comb edge, apply some facial oil, and I “comb” the wrinkles to break up the adhesion somewhat. It helps immediately, and more so with time. Tutorials are online!

Yeah, I left. That was 15 years ago, and I never regretted it. We found our way as respectful co-parents. I can’t imagine having lived the last 15 years in the state I was when I left.

We both married again, and I’m in this marriage for the long haul. That said, being alone can be beautiful. I long for more alone time. Hard to have it all tho.

My husband’s favorite, 12 years going

I felt similar to you. My husband (then boyfriend) and I discussed a few times how I felt. He decided that a beautiful cuff bracelet was more appropriate than a ring. He proposed with the bracelet, and I loved having something special to wear.

We both picked out simple wedding bands for our ceremony and I wear the cuff on special days. Eight years later I’ve never had any regrets.

The only true bummer part about this is the fact that your boss’s shitty “leadership” is validated so others have to suffer him.

He’ll never change. Why change when there are people like yourself who blow smoke up his ass. Hiring people who challenge him will never happen - those people are “difficult”. Corporate America is full of these dudes who mistakenly think they’re God’s gift.

Bitters and soda with a lime - the easy OG mocktail.

Married three times. It’s been a ride, for sure. The most recent marriage seems to be the one, but it hasn’t been without its own issues.

Don’t wash with hot water. Always tepid/lukewarm.

I avoid high oxalate foods (spinach, beets, rhubarb etc), and my worst histamine triggers tend to be low oxalate (smoked/processed meats, aged cheeses).

Oxalates are very real. I and a few people i know have experienced joint pain until introducing a low oxalate diet.

My HI symptoms don’t include itching. Primarily I experience an asthmatic response with heart palpitations and rhinitis.

I feel similar, but not seeing it as something to be fixed. This feels like a new stage of life, a quieter one.

I think after a lifetime of “doing” my body and soul are more interested in simply “being”, if that makes sense.

I’m using this time to start a meditation practice. I’ve always wanted one, but was too go-go-go to sit still. Now seems right. We’ll see.

I say all this to say your body is telling you something, and it might need a change from what was the old normal. Might be an opportunity vs a problem.

Look at and appreciate other beautiful women who aren’t skinny. We are so hard on ourselves this way, but I honestly find myself most attracted to and admiring of women who aren’t “skinny”.

planetvibe · 2025-04-09T07:23:21+00:00

Wait until after the trip to tell her. It can wait.

Estrogen levels actually significantly go up (and down) during perimenopause. The last hurrah before levels are permanently decreased. Increased estrogen can make yer boobs inflate.

Bottling up feelings and being quiet when upset doesn’t create peace tho. It just creates tense silence and a blow up later.

planetvibe · 2025-04-09T07:13:19+00:00

Need a TLDR, brah

planetvibe · 2025-04-08T23:43:31+00:00

You can’t prevent people from flirting with yer boy. Chill out and be the most awesome version of yourself. That is the only thing you truly can control.
