hi, i’m not diagnosed with raynauds and i actually had no idea what raynauds was until trying to research why i have 1 purple fingernail. is this something that anyone else has experienced?
i’m extremely intolerant of the cold, specifically in my hands. my nails and lips go kind of purple/blue when i’m cold, although i don’t feel like i’m cold enough for them to be changing colour. this is something i’ve only really started experiencing over the past few years.
i don’t really notice myself having any other issues with circulation, i think? i have had blood pooling in my feet previously but since being diagnosed with adhd in 2024 and being on vyvanse i don’t really notice this much anymore. i do also get dead hands/feet/arms often if i’m sitting or lying down in one position for a little while but i’m not sure if thats normal or not.

i knew it was going to be rough, but nothing prepared me for this.

i lost all my belongings to black mould, i lost my job due to a manager who was bullying me, i lost the rest of my life due to health issues that my doctors can’t figure out.

i know this won’t last forever but it certainly feels like it has been going on for forever.

i turned 30 this year and have started to develop a permanent frown. my only experience with cosmetic procedures has been 1 session of lip filler back in june of 2020. my experience was overall negative and disappointing, due to lack of research/knowledge on my part.

i do all the correct skincare things, yet that hasn’t stopped me from starting to develop permanent frown lines. i’ve noticed the more permanent my frown lines become, the harder it is for me to not rest my face in a frowning expression. due to this i want start learning about botox, so i can fix my problem with realistic expectations and knowledge.

if you have had botox in your frown lines/glabella could you please share your experience with me, and answer as many of these questions as you can.

-what country did you get your botox in?

-how many units did you get?

-how many sessions did you need?

-what is your maintenance like?

-how long did it take for you to see your desired results?

-how long does botox last for you?

-how much did your first session and any maintenance sessions cost you?

-does it effect how the rest of your face looks?

-does it feel weird or uncomfortable having frozen muscles?

-did you feel any pain while getting it done?

-do you have any regrets?

i’m aware that there is no universal answer to any of these questions, but hearing other’s experiences would really help me.

i’ve had cardiophobia for a few years now however these past couple of months i’ve been absolutely convinced i have heart failure due to the fact my nails have been constantly purple and my tongue has been a weird dark colour. i was sure my nails and tongue were this colour due to lack of oxygen stemming from heart failure.

well i just figured out that my nails were purple due to having a new purple shampoo and my tongue had a darkish coating due to neglecting my oral hygiene while i was bed ridden with an illness for 2 weeks. 💀

i’ve used purple shampoo many times in the past, however i’ve never used the brand that i’ve been using recently. i haven’t used it for about a bit over a week and i can see my normal nail colour growing in.

after getting over my illness and being able to go back to maintaining consistent oral hygiene, my tongue went back to its normal colour.

i was permanently banned from 5 different communities because of a comment i made in 1 of them. my ban says its for harassment, i responded to all 5 messages asking what my comment was. 3/5 sent me a link to the same comment (the other 2 didn’t respond) where i said “this isn’t edited”, in response to someone accusing an OP for editing a photo. i responded to this by stating that my comment wasn’t harassment and in response i got muted from all 5 chats.

has this happened to anyone else?

does this sound like some weird glitch?
or do you think maybe 1 person is a mod on all 5 communities and just decided for whatever reason to ban me?

i really enjoyed these communities and i’ve tried to figure out what the next step is but as far as i can see, there’s nothing more i can do?

so i got permanently banned from 5 subs all related to beauty/fashion at the same time for “harassment”. apparently my comment which was harassment was me responding to a comment accusing the OP of editing their body because they were “unrealistically skinny” with “this photo isn’t edited” ???

i’m sorry but how is that harassment? clearly someone is a mod in all 5 of these subs and just decided to ban me for no reason? 😭

i responded to the banned message from each one stating that what i commented wasn’t harassment and then i got muted from messaging the mod teams.

also how is it possible that a comment in one sub can get me banned from 4 others? is it possible this is a reddit glitch?

i stopped using depop for ages due to australian sellers pricing their secondhand garbage as RRP or higher. when vinted first became available in australia, it was AMAZING because all the sellers were from the UK and i couldn’t believe how great the prices were.. but now? 😭 tell me why i just saw an australian seller, selling a very very worn pair of peter alexander pj pants for over $100?? why did i just see an australian seller selling a SHEIN tracksuit set for $60???
australians please get a grip and stop destroying the app 🫩

the meat looked fine, no physical signs of being spoiled. is it possible that meat can be spoiled if it looks fine and has been stored properly but smells like literal poo? i eat kangaroo steaks frequently so i know how it’s supposed to smell. is it rotten or is my nose playing tricks on me?
i’ve thrown it away now as i didn’t want to risk it but since i already ate half, i’m not sure what to expect.

i made a post a few days ago stating i believe i have hypothyroidism and listing all the symptoms i’ve been experiencing. i went to my doctor on wednesday morning to discuss this however i ended up not getting my blood test that day due to my doctor discovering that ive got a largely swollen lymph node in my neck. i had noticed that i had a swollen lymph node back in may but id forgotten about it. i went the next morning to get an ultrasound on my neck and while the technician was performing the ultrasound he asked me if i have been diagnosed with hypothyroidism. this surprised me as he obviously would have no idea that i’ve been believing that i do have hypothyroidism. i went on to have a discussion about it with him, as he himself is diagnosed with hypothyroidism. when i go back to my doctor for my ultrasound results, i will be getting a blood test to check for deficiencies as well as my thyroid levels.

do you think it’s just a coincidence that the ultrasound technician brought up hypothyroidism or is it something that can be seen during an ultrasound?

also has anyone else had 1 swollen lymph node in their neck, under the jaw that’s related to hypothyroidism? i’ve been worried that it’s cancer. the ultrasound technician let me know that it looked normal but i won’t get my actual results for a few more days.

TLDR: can vyvanse cause acid reflux/heart burn/gerd? if this has happened to you, what was your experience and what were your symptoms?

hi everyone, i’m wondering if anyone here has had a similar experience to me.

i’ve been on vyvanse for nearly 3 years now (i think) and recently ive started experiencing what i think is acid reflux/heart burn/gerd.

roughly 2-3 hours after taking vyvanse i’ll start feeling a mild burning sensation in the back of my throat and my stomach will feel very bloated and gassy, kind of like i need to burp but i dont? then ill get a weird sensation on the surface of my tongue, kind of like when your foot is half dead but not as extreme, and a mild metallica taste in my mouth which makes me nauseous. it gets better when i eat food but then comes back about an hour later.

i always eat before taking vyvanse, i drink 3-4L of water every day, i haven’t changed my diet or eating habits. i have however been experiencing what i thought was very low blood pressure from clonidine and melatonin (i made a post a few days ago about it) but now im noticing the connection between my light headedness and these acid reflux symptoms. the first day i experienced the dizziness and feeling faint was also the first day i felt the stomach bloating, nausea and metallic taste in my mouth.

as i mentioned in my last post, i am seeing my GP wednesday morning so i will be discussing this then but in the meantime i would like to hear from others if they’ve had a similar experience and if it was caused by vyvanse?

i’m ngl i can’t stand drew, i think she is a compulsive liar and super manipulative but how she was treated in her marriage made me feel horrible for her. the level of gaslighting she went through was so rough and im SO happy that ralph has been banished to live in the basement. it’s the funniest thing ever and its so deserved

hi i (30F) am pretty sure i have hypothyroidism. i’m seeing my doctor on wednesday to discuss this and i’ll be getting a blood test to check my thyroid, iron ect. however ive developed pretty severe health anxiety over the past couple of months due to not feeling great. my anxiety has been telling me im experience heart failure, despite not having the typical symptoms like water retention, swelling, inability to breath when lying on back ect. from what ive read online i feel like hypothyroidism is the only thing that explains all these symptoms ive gradually started experiencing this year but i still can’t shake the anxiety that im dying!

the symptoms ive been experiencing are:

dizziness that is almost 24/7

horrible fatigue to where i can’t do anything besides take a shower every day

extreme coldness, i’ve always ran cold but not to this extent
a blueish tint to my finger nails, it’s extremely faint but it’s there whenever im cold

hair loss

nausea, not constant but the last few days i’ve been nauseous for a few hours during the day

feeling like my heart is racing, this could just be anxiety but i feel like my anxiety starts after my heart races

body/muscle weakness, kind of ties in with the fatigue, i feel like my muscles are exhausted

struggling to fall asleep and stay asleep because of racing thoughts and an adrenaline rush type of feeling

waking up to pee during the night

a weird internal tremble/vibrating sensation which i thought was my heart at first but ive been able to tell that it isn’t

muscle spasms/twitches, one muscle will repeatedly twitch non stop for hours every day

extreme hunger at night

weight gain and a struggle with losing weight

most evening i’m getting body aches and the feeling of having a fever

catching colds and other sicknesses more frequently

please let me know if any of these symptoms align at all with your experience with hypothyroidism and if they do, what was your diagnostic experience? what tests did you need to get done? are you on medication for it and has it been helping you?

i was on clonidine for a year, built a tolerance so got switched to amitriptyline for a month which didn’t work. now i’ve been back on 100mcg clonidine for 3 weeks and taking melatonin 2mg slow release for 1.5 weeks. last 2 days i’ve been experience what i think is low blood pressure. i’m getting extreme dizziness whenever im not lying or sitting down, low heart rate even after taking vyvanse, nausea, feeling like im going to faint, blurred vision, extremely cold to the point my nails have a bluish tint, shaky hands and the most intense fatigue. i’ll be fine the first 2ish house after waking up and then it’ll suddenly hit me. when it hits my eyes suddenly become really sunked looking and i get horrible shadows under my eyes which match how exhausted i feel despite the fact ive had 8 hours sleep for the past few nights.

i don’t have a blood pressure medicine at home (has been on my list of things to buy for ages) and my doctor isn’t free until wednesday.

does this sound like low blood pressure?

has anyone experienced this before?

i’m going to skip the melatonin tonight to see if i feel better tomorrow but im very confused as this isn’t the first time ive taken this combo of clonidine and melatonin. also super annoying because it’s basically been cancelling out the effects of my vyvanse and i had to spend all day yesterday and now today in bed. im also worried that it might be something other than low blood pressure so i’m too scared to take my dex top up to see if that helps.

i’m sorry if this question is racist and ignorant, i don’t have bad intentions in asking this.

i grew up surrounded by only white people. i recently started working at a club that plays afro beats so for the first time in my life i’m surrounded by a lot of black people and ive noticed a large amount of them have yellow eyes. i know when white people have yellow eyes it’s because of jaundice, is that the same for black people?
are black people more susceptible to illnesses that cause jaundice?
i’ve worked at other clubs before and i’d never seen anyone with yellow eyes so i doubt that it’s got anything do with with alcohol liver damage?

sorry i’m genuinely curious

i (30F, age & sex not bra size) have had saggy breasts for as long as i can remember and they are severely impacting my quality of life.

the first time i realised that mine don’t look like others was when i was 15. my friend stayed for a sleepover and when she got changed in front of me i saw her breasts and realised that hers didn’t look like mine. this led me to researching online what breasts should look like which is how i discovered that mine were saggy.

i’ve wondered if i developed this way because before i even had proper breasts i wore a push up bra 24/7, even to sleep in. my weight has fluctuated a lot over the past 10 years (i’ve weighed everything between 39kg & 88kg) which has made them worse.

no one has seen me topless in the last 10 years, this has caused issues in every relationship i’ve had since i was 20. i haven’t owned a bikini or any bathing suit for 7 years. i don’t own any dresses or nice tops. i haven’t dated or had sex in nearly 4 years because i cringe during physical intimacy.

i have done everything in my power to accept myself. i had weekly therapy for 2.5 years, not specifically because “i hate my saggy tits” but because i told myself i must have some deep rooted self esteem issues blocking me from loving how they look. i hoped that the older i got, the less of a problem it’ll be. i’ve dreamt about getting a lift and a slight reduction for a decade now. this year i reached the point of accepting that i can’t accept how they look because i realised that i’m basically wasting my younger years being miserable about it. i decided i would start saving for a lift and reduction and i went through all my finances and wrote up a plan on how i would save for this procedure and how long it’ll take me until i can afford it ect. but then in march i found myself suddenly chronically ill and unable to work.

i feel completely stuck right now. i know that suddenly being chronically ill should be the thing im focused on instead of something so shallow and superficial but my god is it hard to want to deal with a chronic illness when you already hate the body you are in. on the days that i don’t feel so ill i want to be able to look nice and i can in the sense of putting on makeup and styling my hair but i cant in the sense of wearing a nice outfit. i cant even wear cute pyjamas to try and make myself feel better on days i dont feel good, i’m stuck in hugely oversized tshirts and hoodies. i have no hope left of being able to get a lift and reduction at an age young enough where i dont look back on my life and think “i wasted my life because of insecurity” and it’s seriously depressing me.

can’t say that i’m surprised that a man lacks the ability to communicate and is afraid of commitment but i certainly am disappointed as i’d hoped he really was a genuinely nice guy.

him wanting to keep the relationship a secret is just his way of being able to act single while still having access to a women whenever he chooses.

i was 14, had never watched porn, never heard any description on how to give a blow job, had never even touched a penis before and i was drunk.

i took the term blow job literally.
so i put it in my mouth and instead of sucking, i started blowing. full chipmunk cheeks and all.

safe to say he did not ejaculate.
to make matters worse, this was done on a trampoline in the garden of a high school party where my classmates saw and sprayed us with a hose.

at the time i thought he just had a really small penis, as i got older i realised he just couldn’t stay erect because of how bad i was.
