salt grain said:Just a quick heads-up—Klavocin and Augmentin are actually the same thing, just amoxicillin and clavulanic acid from different manufacturers. 🙂

I figured as much, since I've ended up with another yeast infection...👎

Honestly, I’m still such a naive kid... how does this even happen? 🙂

Poop your pants?😬

Terrible...😬

Why on earth would they need to wear diapers??? Honestly, that sounds a bit grim...

ruggedfalcon2 said:If you harvest them from a cord blood unit, for example, they can be stored just in case they're needed later. But you can also get them from adults or, more commonly, from embryos... they're used for a whole range of conditions, not just leukemia. I'm curious if people have much experience with this here in the States and what the general consensus is... 😕 ☕

Well, most Americans wouldn't accept it. Unfortunately, our laws don't allow for it either, so stem cells can only be sourced abroad.

Personally, I think it's a brilliant concept...👍

Is this about preserving stem cells for things like leukemia treatments or similar procedures?
I know it's pretty common globally, but here in America, God knows where we stand with it...

SINERSUL IS EVIL

I have no idea who else is being prescribed this antibiotic. Last time I took it, I ended up with a horrific bladder infection; I spent a week in the hospital crying every time I had to use the restroom...
And I’m not even allergic to penicillin... It’s just that whenever I take Augmentin or Cipro, I end up with a yeast infection.

But my doctor just put me on some penicillin-based antibiotics from Klavax, and I haven't had any issues with Candida at all...
Stop asking about it online and just go see your doctor!!!!

What exactly are you suspicious about regarding her?

Well, it depends on your ancestry. Blonde genes are relatively recessive, so they can easily be overridden by traits from further back in your family tree...
But as far as eyes go, there isn't much debate. Two brown-eyed parents can't produce a blue-eyed child.

No doubt about it... she must have truly enjoyed his company 🤣 🙄

Of course they were wearing gloves. If anything, it’s just basic hygiene to avoid catching whatever you might be carrying... Every doctor I know wears them without exception, whether they're an OBGYN or a surgeon.

I completely agree with Kimberly Davis52. Don't worry, Justin Fox, nobody's passing anything on to you... the illness just won't stick...😬

Don't be paranoid. Just head to the general hospital and get it over with.
When I had my tonsils out, I went under general anesthesia, just like everyone else...

Well, you're lucky you only have that on your elbow🙂

Hannah Davis18 said:Cortizone didn't help me at all😳

Steroids... you really have to apply them for more than a couple of days before you see any actual results.
If you're only applying it for two days, you might as well not bother at all...

You're supposed to apply Cortizone twice a day for at least two weeks. Ideally, you'd do it for a month or two straight alongside phototherapy. But once you do that, you should be clear for six months to a year, if not longer.

You misunderstood my point about steroids. I have quite a bit of experience with them, and doctors usually recommend at least a week of application. For me, the effect lasts about three days—not months like it does with Cortizone. I don't need a medication like that, thanks... plus, my psoriasis covered a massive area of skin. The yo-yo effect was real.

But of course, every person dealing with psoriasis has to figure out what works for their own body and find the right combination...

I’d suggest trying Cortizone. Unlike standard corticosteroids, you won't see results for about two weeks, but it manages psoriasis much more effectively over the long term. When paired with phototherapy, it works wonders without the typical side effects you get from steroids.

I wouldn't recommend Beloderm, Belosalic, Zorac, or other steroid creams; they might offer quick relief for a couple of days, but they end up wrecking your adrenal glands...

Maybe give phototherapy a shot along with some Cortizone...

Look, Justin Fox, this is how democracy works. The majority voted for the current administration, and they’re the ones setting these healthcare policies. You're in the minority right now, though maybe in the next election, you'll be part of the majority voting for a different leadership and a different approach to healthcare...

Now, I have to wonder: has any doctor actually caused harm to you or someone close to you, or are you just repeating those sensationalist headlines you read...

And I'd love to see if you truly understand the core issues within the medical profession. Is this firsthand experience? Are you actually out there patrolling hospital halls and snooping around? Don't believe everything people tell you...

I honestly don't get where all this hostility toward doctors—or anyone else in their profession—comes from.
Everyone acts like they have all the answers and know better than the experts... as if.

That’s essentially St. John’s Wort oil. You can find it in any local pharmacy. It’s made by infusing the plant into olive oil, which releases the active ingredients that help trigger skin regeneration.

The frequency doesn't strictly matter; you could apply it ten times a day or just once a week. No oil is going to do you any harm. My doctors have actually suggested that for chronic psoriasis, ointments or oils work better than standard creams. Generally, anything greasy penetrates the skin more effectively to promote healing.

It is also vital to keep your skin hydrated consistently. After every shower, apply something oily or at least a decent body milk. The moment you feel an itch, nourish the skin immediately with a cream or something similar.

I’m a fan of Keune—that orange wax is honestly top-tier—along with a lot of their other products, but I wouldn't say this particular shampoo feels particularly gentle.
I tend to stick to more neutral brands that don't load up on harsh chemicals, something like Aveeno or SheaMoisture.
