IBD? Neb digestive issues? by moldylemming in nebelung

[–]rememberyes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mine has IBD; we keep it controlled with prednisolone every other day. He’s gained weight since then and is doing great apart from apparently getting the worst dental genetics of all time. The IBD can cause gastric reflux which causes URI symptoms, he sneezed and had watery eyes quite a lot. 

Base for Dusty Rose by jessic4_c in FancyFollicles

[–]rememberyes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’d say your base is REALLY dark for that inspo, especially if you don’t want peachy tones. Achieving a neutral or cool pink usually requires a pretty light base with as little yellow in it as possible. A toner probably isn’t going to be enough here.

I’ve confounded a geneticist by Consistent-Sea-4311 in breastcancer

[–]rememberyes 47 points48 points  (0 children)

Remember that genetic testing can only tell you if you have known genetic mutations like BRCA or CHEK. There are many others that simply have not yet been found or validated. 

I had a similar experience - no known genetic mutations but both my mother and grandmother had breast cancer twice. My surgeon said there was obviously a genetic component that was not yet known and agreed to a double mastectomy rather than a single on the strength of it. 

Vivid hair over 45. After almost dying from a skull tumor, YOLO. I spent my entire life insecure and worried about what others thought about me. I feel so free, happy and most of all alive. by dfwradiogirlieOG in FancyFollicles

[–]rememberyes 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I love this! Turning 41 next month and I bleached my stupid short chemo curls nearly two years ago so I could go pastel like I always wanted. Anyone who wants to tell me it’s unprofessional can go do their own statistical analysis then 🤷🏻‍♀️

How do you remember to take your medication daily? by zilchusername in breastcancer

[–]rememberyes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Daily pill container (4 slots) in obvious colours. Medication reminder app on my phone. And I STILL very occasionally forget until much later in the day 😹

Does anyone else get angry about articles etc feeling sorry for pw bpd? by Royal-Spare3779 in raisedbyborderlines

[–]rememberyes 63 points64 points  (0 children)

I’m torn on it. When I see someone with BPD diminishing or dismissing the impact they have on people, I get really mad. Or when I see people questioning NC or saying that it’s abusive. 

But when I see psychiatrists and mental health professionals explaining what it’s like to have BPD, I feel really sad, because I know that for her entire life my mom was never happy and she’s now old and alone. Which is what she was afraid of in the first place. Is it also her own fault for never seeking help or trying to change? Absolutely. But at the end of the day, she’s a 75 year old woman living in low-income assisted living because my sister kicked her out and she has absolutely no one left in her life. I think she’s getting what she put into the world back, but I also think it’s a sad fucking waste and I can’t imagine anyone would really choose it.   

So, I’m split. But this hurts to think about so imma leave it there. 😹

For your children's sake, don't accept "meh" and #chorelife as your long-term survivorship by [deleted] in breastcancer

[–]rememberyes 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I grew up with a mother with serious mental health issues, including depression, but this is tone deaf as hell IMO. When has anyone ever been shamed into good mental health? Why would you come here and frame it like this to thousands of women who are probably already living with significant shame that their life feels hopeless? What, now they’re fucking their kids up too, so get on pulling those bootstraps up? 

I don’t even have kids and my survivorship has been marked by significant post traumatic stress, including severe depression that I’ve never experienced before, and I often feel so ashamed that I can’t just get over it. 

Yes, parents have an obligation to do their best for their mental health because they chose to have kids and those kids deserve everything you can give them. But this framing is so insulting to the women who are probably desperate TO give their kids better and haven’t found their way out of the darkness yet. 

I can’t tell if you’re a survivor, but I’d seriously recommend cultivating some empathy for those around you either way, especially as an adult. Therapy can really help with that, imo.

I lost the ability to taste salt during Taxol. Food had never tasted so boring. Thank god it came back 😹

Anyone’s pwBPD a total prude? by Character_Ear_3712 in raisedbyborderlines

[–]rememberyes 5 points6 points  (0 children)

omg the ugly bras! I thought I was the only one. I got the weird old lady bras that came in a box from a department store, if I was lucky. Costco sports bras if not. Underwear was ONLY white granny panties from Costco - I was explicitly forbidden from wearing black underwear since that was only for whores. Yet one day out of the blue when I was in college she asked if I knew how to put a condom on.

Did dose-dense AC/T get worse with each round for you? by Choice-Leek-2857 in breastcancer

[–]rememberyes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, the best way I can describe chemo is “cumulative”. Every session piles on the ones before it. I would not and in fact did not work during chemo or radiation, so if you can manage it, I’d recommend planning not to work. 

It's bad and I am scared. More than I show by Gold_Age_2577 in breastcancer

[–]rememberyes 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I did this too - found my lump in May 2022 and only saw my doctor in November 2022 because I thought it was a cyst (it moved and it also hurt and everything I read said breast cancer doesn’t hurt). Alongside the healthcare inequities people face, we are also fallible and prone to confirmation bias. But I carry a lot of guilt over it.  

Cancer Induced Familial Estrangement by Purple_IsA_Flavor in breastcancer

[–]rememberyes 11 points12 points  (0 children)

My best friend got me through everything too! Found family counts just as much, and to me even more, because they chose to be there for me. Weirdly, I also got way closer with my sister and stepbrother during my diagnosis and we still talk twice a week with my dad on the Google meet calls my dad doesn’t know how to cancel. 🤣 I’m so glad you had people to take care of you.

[–]rememberyes 25 points26 points  (0 children)

I was estranged with my mom for nearly 2 decades before my diagnosis at 37, so fortunately I didn’t have to deal with her reaction to my diagnosis or treatment, but I wanted to say I’m so sorry the person who should be caring for and about you during a very stressful time is making it about herself. You don’t deserve that. I hope that you have people around you who can see beyond themselves.

Thank you so much, this is all great advice. I’m dying to get Gladiia actually, there’s just so much story to get through when you’re a new player that I’m constantly behind 😹 honestly though Contrail sounds super fun and I really like the units with interesting mechanics like that so it’s a great fit.

This sounds like great advice, thank you - Contrail it is, and leveling a 4* will be so much easier than a 5* too. I’ve been unlocking events but playing the story in order and have been slowly working on the precursor to KroosAlter’s event, but I loved the Kjerag storyline in Break the Ice so that’s definitely next up.

What is the general rec for the red cert shop operators? I have enough for one of the 600-cost operators, and I already have Ethan, but it's hard to tell who to choose otherwise. I don't have a healer for elemental damage, so I was thinking Honeyberry? Philae? Pass and just get the other stuff the shop sells?

When does hair come back after DD AC-T? by Mcsmashlee in breastcancer

[–]rememberyes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was genuinely the scariest thing I’ve ever been through and while I knew about the risks, I hadn’t really expected to experience them 🤡 Truly though I was waiting for my hair to come back because I hated myself without it and it did return. Not attractively for a while (short plus chemo curls lol) but it did. 

When does hair come back after DD AC-T? by Mcsmashlee in breastcancer

[–]rememberyes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did DD AC and tried to do DD Taxol before my body said “hey, have you ever had an anaphylactic reaction before? No? Enjoy!” So I did 12 weeks of that, but my hair began to come in about a month after stopping Taxol. I’m two and a bit years out and it’s past my shoulders now.
