Changes to my lips

I’m honestly not sure if the vitamins are the deciding factor here—I’ve been taking my daily multivitamins (like Centrum) for about two years now, though I do take occasional breaks from them.

Changes to my lips
in Health ·
I honestly can't say for sure what's triggering it, but if it’s any consolation—you aren't alone in this struggle.
I deal with the exact same thing from time to time; it just appears out of nowhere, specifically on my lower shin. It starts with this slight swelling and a dull ache, then develops into a little circular patch that lingers for about five or six days before finally clearing up after I apply some ointment. Occasionally, things take a turn for the worse—just as one spot begins to fade, a second one pops up right next to it. It's truly obnoxious.
I know I’m not offering much in the way of a solution here, but I figured I'd share my own experience. That said, I'd be very interested to hear any advice on how to actually prevent these things from happening in the first place.

Missed period—how long should I wait?
in Health ·
It’s been about 18 months since I gave birth, and my period still hasn't made an appearance. I’m still breastfeeding—which is a factor, obviously—but even then, I feel like it should have cycled back by now. For those of you who opted for extended breastfeeding, when did things finally get back to "normal" for you, and how long did you stay in that nursing phase?
