Feeling defeated. I had my 2nd Vyepti infusion today and even with 50 mg of Benadryl before the medication I still had a I guess an allergic reaction (lots of coughing, runny nose, sore throat, some chest pressure). Doc doesn't want me to continue with it. I've already tried Botox, Emgality, Qulipta, Ubrelvy, and Nurtec and probably others I can't think of. I take Eletriptan as an abortive and it works pretty well but takes a while to kick in or a 2nd dose (you can take a 2nd pill if you still have a migraine after 2 hours). What's a preventative drug or device you've found success with whether it be you no longer get migraines or they're greatly reduced? Did it take you a while to find it? What was your experience? TIA!!

I'm in the process of trying to schedule the interview and wondered if anyone knew what types of questions they asked, how truly old school they are, anything else that'd be helpful to know? TIA.

Has anyone used any home skin tag removers that really worked? One of the ones on my neck got irritated and bled. It's now driving me crazy. I appreciate anyone sharing what worked for them. TIA!!

I didn't know what to pick but I figured it's about how I feel so mental health it is. So my nephew's HS graduation is at the end of the month and I want to wear a not too fancy but cute dress. I've looked at LB (found 1 that's being shipped to the store) and I've looked at JC Penny(believe it or not they have some cute stuff, found a few things), Macy's, and Old Navy. My next stores were going to be Torrid and Maurice's. There are some cute sleeveless dresses but I'm embarrassed about my flabby and big upper arms. And they're pale and I have lots of moles. How do I get to feeling like f$&k it if someone doesn't like my big arms that's their problem? I'd really like to feel good about myself and my body. It's so hard. I grew up with very critical and judgmental parents and I'm very critical of myself. How did you come to accept your body and wear sleeveless clothes?

What is it called when your head hurts worse when you bend down? For example I have a migraine right now and when I bend down to fill my dogs' water bowls my head hurts more/worse. Please lmk if I can't ask this.

I feel kinda dumb asking about this but thought you might be able to help and/or relate. I've been taking Ozempic or another GLP1 for quite a while now but lately I've been running into trouble with my injection sites. I'm getting bruising or bleeding or what looks like it bled and is sensitive, hurts to touch. I've been injecting on my stomach but there's only so much area to do so because I have a lot of stretch marks. Should I switch to my thighs? I don't think I'm coordinated enough to do my upper arm. I'd appreciate any constructive suggestions. TIA!!

I had a heck of a time (way worse than normal) removing my CGM and the leftover adhesive last night. I used an alcohol pad and tac-away (same as an alcohol pad really) to get the leftover adhesive off. I had to rub and rub and it was so bad that there was some bleeding. When I was removing the overlays it was really bad too. It shouldn't have to be so painful. Any suggestions to make it less painful and easier? If you also have any particular brand (if that's okay to ask and post) of overlays you could recommend that'd be great. TIA!!

I'm looking for the really light shorts you wear under dresses and skirts to prevent chub rub. I have to get them so they fit my stomach without rolling down. If they're breathable that'd be great too. TIA!!

I'm either pre diabetic or have type 2. I go to the endocrinologist next week. I wear a CGM and have noticed that if I get anxious (it doesn't have to be so bad to be on the attack level) my blood sugar spikes and if I'm really, really angry too. The most common thing I get anxious about is trying to get out of the house on time so I'm not late. I know it may seem silly but it's true. Because it's not on the attack level where I'd use those type of techniques for the anxiety to subside I don't know how to deal with it. I want to be calm and not have spikes from the anxiety. I take medicine for my depression and anxiety but I don't know if it's not doing enough or I need to find ways to deal with it. Anyone else experience the same or similar issue and how do you cope? TIA!!

So my gut/stomach is one size bigger than my butt and my hips probably thighs too sometimes. In order to not be uncomfortable I have to buy the bigger size in pants and shorts (I'm bloated A LOT) but then I'm walking around with a majorly baggy butt (or it probably looks like I took a dump or something) and my hips are super loose too. Anyone else have this problem and what do you do? I can't afford to get things tailored and I don't even know if that's possible or would make a difference. Side note why do I regularly find that the crotch of pants and shorts and pajamas comes down to my thighs? Do I have a weird body or is it just clothing manufacturers thinking that all plus size women are super tall or something? I'm not tall but I'm not really short either - 5'6".

Please let me know if it's not okay to post these questions here. Someone posted a picture of what I think were strawberry marguerite daisies. A white daisy with a pink center. I fell in love with them. I Googled and I can't find them anywhere. Do you know where I can find them? Also if anyone happens to know will they grow in the suburbs of Chicago (I think it's zone 5 but I can't remember)? TIA!!!
