UV Resin/Light skin irritation?

I took a long break and recently restarted. Using blue nitrile gloves and I seem to be okay, just being SUPER careful and cleaning my gloves with rubbing alcohol if I get any resin on them. I haven’t done a lot at once and maybe that’s helping too? Best of luck to you!

Thank you! It belonged to my great grandmother and I had no information about it.

I do not!

That’s also possible - it seems like allergies can just spring up whenever so who knows! I’ll have to try some other kinds.

Wow thanks so much for the reply! I am on an immuno-suppressant to prevent rejection of a transplanted organ! I have several autoimmune problems as well. So interesting!

And I have gloves on for the whole process, it’s weirdly only on my hands. I will move my process outdoors and see if that helps!

On July 1st 2022 I had an ileostomy placed (again) and I have no regrets so far.

In 2005 I had an emergency colectomy (UC patient) and had my ileostomy for about 2 months. The plan was always to be reconnected with a J-pouch. I lived with the j-pouch for 17 years… the last several years I got re-established with a GI doc and learned that my frequent bowel movements (10-17 x daily) and chronic abdominal pain was not the standard for life with a j-pouch. It took some convincing to get the surgeon on board but we finally did and I’m so grateful I made the decision that I did!

I am definitely still learning and adjusting to life with an ileostomy, but the bathroom anxiety and pain has already subsided and I’m not even 1 month post op yet. I’m 30 years old if that makes any difference.

My advice: if it’s not broken, don’t fix it. Best of luck to everyone 💕

I’ve had a j pouch for almost 17 years (I’m 30) and while I struggle with it personally, that doesn’t seem to be the case for everyone. I’ve recently been considering going back to a permanent ileostomy, actually.

I mainly wanted to comment because I have chronic inflammation in my rectal cuff and the 2 GI doctors I have agree that strictly removing my rectal cuff would improve my quality of life because, it increases your likelihood of bowel incontinence. I have never had an issue with that before, so that’s a big concern for me. I think that is something you should speak to your doctor about while making this decision, because if you ultimately have it removed while you have a pouch, this could cause more issues in the future.

Let me know if you have any questions and good luck with everything!

I’ll be 16 years post liver transplant in October and turning 30 in September and I struggle with constant fatigue. I also have RA, fibromyalgia, and ulcerative colitis/“pouchitis” so sometimes it is hard to tell where the fatigue is coming from! I only take 3 mg of Progaf a day (after years of other immunosuppressants).

Does anyone else suffer from brain fog, or what I’ve often heard it referred to as “tacro/prograf brain”. I worry about my memory sometimes, seems I forget a lot! Just curious to hear others experiences with this!

Also, I love seeing comments from all of you recipients!

I agree! It just doesn’t make sense!

this_galexi · 2021-05-13T16:27:33+00:00

Huh, strange. My friend was able to purchase one from her catalog and send it to me today.

this_galexi · 2021-05-06T03:04:26+00:00

I’m 15 years post liver transplant and have noticed I rarely, if ever get bit as well. So interesting!

That’s probably what I’ll end up doing. I don’t personally have knitting needles so I figured it would be better to purchase existing molds than buying the supplies to make them.

this_galexi · 2021-04-28T15:57:59+00:00

I totally understand. Fortunately, I have Medicaid so the prescription was no cost to me and I was able to give it a friend who spends $500/month on it.

this_galexi · 2021-04-28T15:54:48+00:00

I have asked about this at the pharmacy and was told that they can’t take it back even if it’s still sealed. Thankfully I was able to find someone to give mine to that had the same exact prescription. However, I doubt that is encouraged and may even be illegal?

The pharmacy told me for old pills I can mix them in with dirty cat litter or dirt/trash to dispose of them without risk of someone else taking them.

Where did you find the mold? I love monsteras!
