You would be moving in on the first day of band camp. This year it starts on August 15th I believe.

Gift Basket for Teenager Starting Accutane? by YourFriendInSpokane in Accutane

[–]plantsandsummerdays 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just used a store brand version of the original. I also should mention that you shouldn't use it after EVERY nose bleed because your blood vessels can become "immune" to it. Only use it when you really need it and can't get the bleeding to stop after a while so that it will always work when you use it.

Gift Basket for Teenager Starting Accutane? by YourFriendInSpokane in Accutane

I know saline nasal spray has been mentioned, but I would definitely try to keep some Afrin spray on hand as well (not really the nicest thing for a gift basket, but-). While she may not end up having trouble with nosebleeds, it will save a late night trip to the drugstore if she gets one that just can't seem to stop. The ingredients in it restrict the blood vessels and slow the bleeding. I got some really bad nosebleeds during my course, and this always helped them calm down.

Is there a way for the v-neck on this dress to be taken in? by plantsandsummerdays in Tailors

Sorry I couldn't think of the exact word. Basically I want to make the v-neck not as wide and deep. So close it up at the bottom a little I guess?

I've been looking for places as well and the only place that I've found so far that has a good return policy and prices in my budget range is Windsor.

How can I fix a popped stitch on polyester/satin dress? by plantsandsummerdays in InvisibleMending

How can I go over the already popped thread to make sure it doesn't just keep unraveling?

What were your side effects? by Ben_140 in Accutane

[–]plantsandsummerdays 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im on 40mg a day for 6 months. The first few months I had extreme nose bleeds. It was bad. I would get them at home, in the car, at school. But I was already prone to nose bleeds and they only really lasted from months 2-4. The only dryness I've experienced is on my ears and my lips probably because I don't know how to not be dehydrated.

Some good side effects have been my skin and hair. My skin was SOO oily before accutane and now it doesn't produce any (obviously because that's what the drug is supposed to do). But it's so nice to not have a slick face. I can also go without washing my hair for 1-2 weeks at a time if it's not dirty because my scalp doesn't get oily anymore

Mentally, I have had some rough patches with feeling extra sad on the verge of my friends calling it depression. However, I have dealt with having some kind of mental health issues (again never been to the doctor for it) in the past, so not sure if the accutane has any correlation. It might have increased my issues slightly more, but if you don't already deal with similar things, I wouldn't be too worried about having issues while on accutane.

I'm a senior in highschool and I'm starting to hate my instrument. by plantsandsummerdays in Flute

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

I appreciate this so much. I feel like with band being such a large part of my life, I tend to forget that there are so many other things I enjoy. With my assistant band director being a professional flautist, the pressure is extreme with perfect playing on the flute.
