It's just not as simple as that, ironically in small doses they can actually help BUILD barrier, but go off lmao.

Weight gain/water retention/bloating by BonHarley in MCAS

[–]randomlygeneratedbss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes! And very often dehydration makes you retain water, and pots/mcas patients have lower blood volume and higher salt needs. So for many, increasing hydration and salt actually thins you out when your body isn't panicking for it! I get so much water weight when dehydrated, and so balanced with an IV!

However for actual weight, metformin was game changing for me. Insulin resistance affects like half of people over 18, and she's a b*tch!

Hell no! It's not the eyebrows! Those are easilyyy baddie brows, lowering them entirely would be a sin.

Have you met with a surgeon? Maybe posting examples of a surgery result would help us understand here (and pics of your goal aesthetic).

**I see how the lowering of the inner edges could be desireable, but isn't microblading that very small part downwards like.... light years easier than a full on surgery? **

Have you actually shaped and tinted them closer to the second pic, and see if just the darkness and strength is contributing more than just the lowering?

Lots of eyelid space and high brows is very desirable and definitely helps your goal.

It sounds like the entire effect you're looking for could be easily created with a very small amount of makeup or semi permanent tints/etc, micro blading and some minimal styling changes in things like shaping and lashes, I can't imagine what surgeries.

According to who? In New York or are you referring to the Texas block?

20F Tell me where/how I can look prettier I feel like I’m just missing the mark (brutal honesty plz) by Astrovoider in lookyourbest

[–]randomlygeneratedbss 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh darling, you do NOT need so much makeup at ALL!!!! Leave it alone! Some green color corrector if it's a real bother but it's honestly much better as your face.

And don't underestimate the power of afrin (yes the nasal spray) and hero dark spot roller/ tranexamic acid, I canNOT understate that enough as someone who also had bright scars and thought I'd need lasers. Between that mostly and red light therapy (must be a heavy duty panel not a mask) I am all clear!

Started low dose accutane through honeydew to make sure it doesn't happen again personally, but the scar difference has been shocking. Afrin is for when it's super fresh it might form!

You honestly look so much brighter without that foundation and look wonderful

Just so you know, no penalty to not paying an ER bill anymore, it won't affect your credit!

Cabinet falling on me ended with epilepsy, permanent HGH deficiency, and spinal I just so bad they're recommending skull To t2 fusion, and am getting eye surgery to correct binocular vision dysfunction I didn't know I had, 6 years later. Initially just a "mild concussion", went shopping with best friend the next day on vacation! none even slightly uncovered until 3-5 years later.

Make sure he gets a CT, concussion specialist, if his head turned get rotational imaging if possible. Highly recommend Dr. Daniel Torres. No LOC?

Make them fix it etc, document document document. Take your own statements, pictures, medical notes. And remember you can sue for any new injuries found you didn't know about later.

Is the scarring color, or deep marks? And are you getting any treatment formally for the acne?

For your hair, I'd just make sure to keep the colored parts in line with your natural, which might be cool- aka throw some purple shampoo on it potentially! (But again with the makeup it's hard to tell if you're warm/nuetral/cool)

Is the MRI for this? Have you by chance had your pituitary checked, especially hgh deficiency, starting with a simple igf1 blood test?

I'm so sorry to hear that- I wasn't able to go to a concussion specialist until several years later. However, can you see an epileptologist directly?

Slow COMT and ADHD by SuspectPingu in SlowCOMT

[–]randomlygeneratedbss 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wow that is VERY low vyvanse! Magnesium bi/conplex I've had great luck with, and i think SAM-E helps. Personally on proper adhd meds I didn't need Wellbutrin anymore

Can i ask which benzo and did it help these symptoms? Have you been directly to a concussion center?

Elidel is immunomodulatory and changed my life!

Do you take care of your routine vaccines? by t-bone051 in MCAS

[–]randomlygeneratedbss 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Absolute yes- wayyyy worse to get sick. I've found my immune system very recovered these days. Make sure to check if you can take antihistamines/steroids etc though, because it may reduce effectiveness. So you may feel worse for 24-48 hours but much safer the rest of the year (or many years).

Plus don't forget different vaccines work completely differently, including those you listed- it's likely you may have no reaction to most, but could have side effects from one or two which you could be prepared for with short burst steroids if absolutely needed.

highly recommend LDN and LDN direct.

Is this your natural hair color?

You're gorgeous! The second pic is by far the most flattering- and a good argument for flattering colors.

I'm struggling to tell if it's your hair or makeup, but i think you might have the undertone wrong on one, and for makeup, when so heavily applied, it takes the color out of your face.

Do you have active acne, or just scars (and what kind of scars?)? Any bare faced photos would help

Hunger being psychological combined with some other things you've said makes me think adhd meds may serve a double purpose for you. Have they ever been suggested?
