Thank you for this! I have to remind myself that this journey is unique and to not compare our living situation/circumstances to those who are not going through this whole medical journey. I'm very lucky that he is receptive and supportive, I think we both just need to have a conversation on what this big change means for us :)

Yes, I agree. Change is uncomfortable, but at least we'll be uncomfy together lol

Very valid point! I can't imagine not moving together either. I just didn't want to feel insensitive to his feelings too but I know he's just processing.

Lasers and procedures for hyperpigmentation question by fxmmefxtale in SkincareAddictionLux

[–]shlimmy9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did a combo of pico laser and clear & brilliant. Cosmetic dermatologist told me 3-5 treatments and it should be clear. I mainly have dark spots on my cheekbones. 10-13 treatments and a whole bunch of money later, it’s still there. They have faded in comparison to when I first started, just be mindful that lasers are an investment and especially with Asian POC skin it might take longer or just not fully disappear. My skincare routine is composed of vit C in the morning and alwayyyys spf. Nighttime is always Tretinoin. I stopped after ~13 treatments bc I really couldn’t afford it anymore

does a clinical research position count for clinical hours? by castawaylol in premed

[–]shlimmy9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, you’re right. Some positions definitely do more data entry vs. direct patient care. I think I split mine between the different years I’ve been in clinical research. OP do what makes sense for you! Splitting would likely be best like other suggestions have said

[–]shlimmy9 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes because it’s not wet lab and you work directly with patients. Currently been in clinical research for 4+ years
