Eventually, my mom reached her breaking point and insisted we see a doctor. We ended up going to Mayo Clinic for the blood tests, but honestly, regarding the specific timing you need for the labs, you should just ask whichever specialist or nurse sends you for the draw... they'll know the exact window you need to hit...
You usually do the blood work between day two and day five of your cycle.👍
I’m not really sold on those B-vitamin supplements for nail health. Honestly, I doubt they even reach my nails—your body just sends those nutrients wherever it needs them most. For me, the best thing is just using Dikla cream; you can grab it at Walgreens. Just a little bit of that and the peeling stops after a few days for me. 👍
Rachel Morris42 said:I heard there's a doctor, I think her name is Galovic, over in the South Side. A few of my friends go to her and they say she's actually great, so I might consider making the switch. As for me, I had to wrap things up with Dr. Leko because I didn't have much of a choice; it was summer and everyone was away on vacation, but I had an urgent matter that couldn't wait. She was the only one still working.
I’m heading in this Wednesday. Leko is through my insurance, and I've been asking around the neighborhood, but honestly? I haven't heard two good things about any midwife within driving distance. I really want to find someone I can actually trust to guide me through the pregnancy later on—and let's face it, that's a tall order.
x-type said:Cuterid is basically meant for all sorts of rashes, not for acne. You could try Lasonil, though that’s really intended for swelling, mostly around the joints.
Honestly, I wouldn't even be shocked if his grandma just handed him some hemorrhoid cream.😁
I’ve been there. Last year, I was dealing with this insane red rash all over my arms, legs, and chest. Turns out, while I was stuck in the hospital, my mom went overboard with the fabric softener on all my clothes. It didn't clear up until I rewashed everything using just my regular dose of 🙂
I’ve always been on the skinnier side, though I guess I'm only "overweight" according to my mom. Honestly, I've got curves in the right places and my legs aren't exactly huge, so the scale doesn't really bother me. I'm 27 now—so clearly, that whole "getting fat after puberty" thing was a myth for me. I'm about 5'9" and 123 lbs, maybe fluctuating by a few pounds here and there, but holding onto weight isn't really my thing.
Christian Lee13 said:I’m also a weather-sensitive type and I have huge issues with Tylenol. It knocks out my headache perfectly fine, but then it leaves me feeling nauseous and throwing up. Plain old Tylenol—just straight paracetamol—doesn't do anything for the pain at all. Does anyone know what specific ingredient in Tylenol is causing this nausea?
Maybe they're using some kind of magnesium compound as an excipient?!
I’m dealing with the same headache nightmare myself—it’s like a migraine that starts in the back of my head and wraps all the way to the front. It gets way worse if I move too much, and the nausea always hitches a ride. It usually flares up during my period and those "fun" hormonal cycles. My plan is to stop taking birth control first; I’ve been on it for 7 or 8 years now, and honestly, it could totally be the culprit behind these killer headaches. If things don't look better by next month, I'm heading in to get some actual tests done.😉
