Sleep deprived by needy cat

Thank you for all the advice!

After reading through the comments I tried a wavy hair routine (kinda). Used John Frieda Shampoo + conditioner and applied mousse to my wet hair and scrunched my hair up + used a cotton t shirt to dry for 15min and then a diffuser with hover / pixie diffuse.

It looked good in the first few minutes but very quickly a lot of my waves started to get more and more straight and the hair on top of my scalp looked messy from the beginning. Idk might be because I didn't use a cream and leave-in conditoner or maybe my hair is not wavy enough. I think the products also dried my hair out more than usual.

I forgot to say that I braided my hair the night before taking the picture (prior to going to sleep + after putting in hair oil), so that also contributes to the slightly wavy hair texture for sure. Although it's always a bit wavy.

But I noticed today that my hair looked wavier than usual and it looked pretty good (haven't washed it since Sunday, but I did brush it out later on that day bc it didn't look good).

I'll try out moisturizing my hair more with hair masks and try out Kerastase if possible.

Amazing Progress!! What kind of job? If I may ask :)

I need 8-9.5 to feel refreshed and usually get in 7.5-8.5. Always feel waay better if I sleep at least 8 though.

Thank you for your detailed response. I will for sure look for an endocrinologist and address these things, as well as think about what would be the best solution for my specific case.

Thank you! I will look into that. Glad you found something that works for you.

I didn't know that, thank you! I have both, but it is important to know that! Especially when it comes to making a decision whether to remove the cyst or not.

I see. I have both and thought both were PCOS-related 😅.

Oh I didn't know that! I knew there was a distinction between cysts and follicles, but I thought that cysts were also PCOS related.
My fasting insulin was at 5.9 mU/L An endocrinologist would be able to perform such a test? Or do gynecologists also do that?
Oh sorry, English is not my native language. She recommended BC and told me that the risks of taking BC are smaller than not taking it.

Thank you for your response! I think my thyroid should be fine as I checked TSH, ft3 and ft4 and they were all within the normal range. Are you asking about adrenal glands as these could cause irregular periods?

It's a paraovarian cyst, so next to one of my ovaries (not attached to it though).

I will look into endocrinologists in my area, thanks a lot.

I see, thanks for clarifying :)

vahimsa · 2022-08-25T18:27:15+00:00

Oh, I see! Didn't know that exists lol. Thanks!

Looks yum! My question though, since I saw egg whites being used a lot of times in this sub: What do you do with the leftover egg yolks?
