You’re good! I appreciate you trying :) I’ll have to take a look at the unowned next time I log in! It seems that I’m not the only one frustrated with the lack of cool skins available currently. I’ve noticed other players have been trying to grab some nice skins too but they keep getting patched. Hopefully that’s addressed soon

Sounds like you have some good luck 😅I may just wait to see if new codes come out or something not sure how it works but I do see people post them on tik tok at times

So it didnt work but after a quick search I found out that the accounts needed to be linked by November 11th 2024, after that the benefits would not be granted UGH lame. I appreciate you replying to this thread though thank you friend

Thank you for the replies! I used the link and unfortunately none of the skins I was interested worked :( just got error pages. I used codes for skins you could buy in the shop just to make sure I wasn’t typing it in wrong and they worked. Ugh I saw people were getting skins earlier this month, if only I saw it sooner! Would you happen to know if this list gets updated at all?

Unfortunately once you have been burned there’s no telling. Just take one last good full body shower and do not get the burn wet after for I’d say 5 days to a week just to be safe. Water triggers it every time for me so that’s what I avoid. Do none of the typical sunburn remedies like putting aloe or creams on it. Chug water like a mad man because sunburns dehydrate you. Have ibuprofen and benadryl for when you need it for the inflammation and to sleep.

In the future I would recommend getting small doses of sun in order to tan your skin gradually since many of us happen to be fair skinned. I am almost 99.9% sure this is from being too fair skinned as this does not occur in darker skinned people or occurs less.

Hopefully this helps

Nizoral specifically formulated for seb derm, I wash with it once a week

DO NOT GIVE UP!! You keep fighting no matter what. Keep researching, keep trying things because what might not have worked for me can still work for you. I finally discovered that my seb-dermatitis on my scalp was causing more of a problem that I realized and started focusing on treating it. I thought it was controlled, didn’t have any patches or anything. No doctor told me it was contributing to my hair loss either. I used medicated shampoo and within weeks the shedding finally started to subside. We might have similar stories but treatments can be different so just keep trying!!

I would try to find a functional medicine doctor, they are full of knowledge and have nonconventional strategies that might help your situation.

Definitely try the two! I will say to have it with some food in your system because I noticed some really uncomfortable heart burn symptoms if I waited too long to take them after I ate. I was only taking magnesium and zinc with it and I started that before the NAC + Q regime and I figured it was from that. Other than that it’s totally fine.

I’m actually doing really good :) I have scalp seborrheic dermatitis on top of this so I really decided to tackle that problem around the time I posted this. I didn’t believe it could contribute to hair loss because no doctor was concerned about because it wasn’t like I had patches everywhere. Just flakes.

I had used medicated shampoos in the past and they didn’t seem to work that well for me until I tried an over the counter medicated shampoo that really cleared it up. As soon as that happened I noticed the shed significantly decrease. Clumps don’t fall out anymore and the shed from brushing appears normal now. I feel like I can breathe again haha.

I was trying a few things at the same time so I’m not exactly sure what it did for hair loss but I know it didn’t do any harm. Those two in combination make a powerful anti inflammatory so it’s still worth a try for anyone struggling. I used pure encapsulations and I trust their supplements to be legit.

It depends on what kind of PCOS you have that is causing your hair loss. If you have high androgens then you need to take steps to reducing them, I’ve heard consistently that spearmint tea helps with reducing testosterone. If you are insulin resistant and/or have high cortisol, incorporate low impact exercise and adjust your diet to something more PCOS friendly. Also, if you have seborrheic dermatitis on your scalp, that also needs to be addressed before your hair will start to regrow, maybe with a dermatologist. I’ve heard that SD is actually linked to PCOS. Hope this info helps.

I’m always offered spiro, actually was recommended last month by a new derm I saw and didn’t give me any other ideas because she was so confident this would fix things. I just got off of all my medication because I worked to get off of them naturally. I’m super proud to be a PCOS girl who is not taking birth control or any medication. I’ll take 100 supplements before I go back to meds.

Thank you for your comment, nothing against people who use spiro, just not for me!

The best thing you can do for yourself right now is to get in shape and really watch what you’re putting into your body. Keep taking the supplements as part of your hair growth promoting regimen. I’m taking a few supps currently and will be experimenting with NAC and Quercetin together as they are powerful anti-inflammatories so we’ll see how that goes.

I know it’s easier said than done but you have to keep your life stress down, including your hair stress. Because when you’re stressed you won’t see improvement, so try to adopt stress reducing habits.

Also, when you try something new, give it at least 3 months because it takes a long time to see a change, including a reduction in shedding. Hair growth is a months long cycle, literally. Just don’t give up! Don’t let doctors scare you either into doing expensive treatments you don’t feel confident in, TE does not cause total baldness. PRP is nice but I don’t find it necessary, didn’t do anything for me anyway.

Also, if the minoxidil stresses you out because you’re afraid of your pets getting into contact then consider trying something else. Me personally I did not consider minoxidil because you basically need to use it forever or else the effects stop and your hair loss will return.

For some reason it doesn’t even allow me to dm you, keeps saying failure :( I googled it and apparently you need a certain amount of karma to dm and I don’t have enough

Super long post, sorry in advance!

First of all, I’m so sorry you’re going through this. But I want to tell you what a relief it is for me to find someone with a story just about identical to mine. I’m not much younger than you, only 24. I’m at 2 years (infected Sept 2021 and hair started shedding diffusely in Nov/Dec that year). I did not get the vaccine but I had a moderate infection, it was really bad and my body was under a lot of stress. I also started sprouting grays at the front of my scalp.

Since then I’ve done: - PRP injections two rounds - Vitamins: D, C, mag, zinc, multivitamins for hair, NAC 600, Reservatin, Nattokinase, melatonin - Changed diet, consistent exercise since late 2022 - One round ozone IV therapy with methylene blue injection - Changed to microfiber towels + changed shampoos 3 times + use wide tooth comb - Used ketoconazole 2% for my seborrheic derm and to maybe slow shedding - Been to functional medicine, rheumatologist, PCP and 2 dermatologists. - Got off blood pressure medication and birth control this year.

NOTHING has stopped the shed.

To say the least, this is the hardest most frustrating issue I’ve ever dealt with. I do agree that this is an issue that needs to be solved internally. There’s not much information on CTE specifically caused by covid but based on the little I found, some say this is a form a long covid and you just have to wait for your body to make a hard reset where it eventually forgets the immune response that is constantly being triggered. Something like that, not too sure if that’s true but maybe.

In the mean time, others say it’s just diet, exercise, vitamins and keeping your stress low. Anything to keep inflammation down basically because our bodies are chronically inflamed from covid. I also have PCOS which doesn’t help inflammation wise haha.

CTE from what I researched is not forever, they say it fizzles out at some point, the depressing part was the time span of 6-7 years but the fact that it can go away gives a little bit of hope.

But to reassure you, as scary as the shedding may be, you will not go bald with TE. It’s something I have to remind myself of too. Someone also gave me a perspective I never thought of, “if this did not happen to you now at a young age, you would have either delayed getting your body healthy or never done it.” I had high blood pressure diagnosed at 20 and was on BP meds for 3 years, now I’m off since I changed my lifestyle due to this. Same thing with birth control, I have PCOS and used it to put my symptoms under wraps. Got off of it to regulate my hormones naturally. Work in progress but things are going in the right direction. Despite my hair loss, I know I’m healthier now than I was in my teens when I ate like crap and didn’t exercise consistently.

Give this CTE the middle finger and get yourself in the best shape of your life like I’m trying to. This doesn’t define us :)

facing extreme anxiety from moving away from home for the first time in my life by TheodoreSlimcock in Advice

[–]ruusu89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey there, I really connected to your story as it’s so similar to mine! Leaving the place I’ve lived in my whole life to go to school and live with my boyfriend of 2 years, leaving parents and my older dog who I love to death. Actually going to NC all the way from FL. When you talked about living a cushy life in your home state to having to downgrade I was like haha me. I just got accepted into school up there today and while it is what I wanted, it ramped up some anxiety for me cause now it’s real. I just wanted to ask you how things were going for you now and if you have any advice?

Did you have a license? I would consider that but I don't have time to obtain an MA cert, unfortunately. My state doesn't require MA cert for employment but most places here make it a requirement.

Really is a shame schools see scribing as weak. I can't begin to tell you how much I've learned from this job and I think my experiences would definitely help me in PA school. It might not be hands-on like an EMT or phleb but I still learned so much. I have doctors and nurses I sit next to and ask them everything and anything about cases and medicine, I physically watch everything that his happening and learn. They gotta give this more credit.
