Hormonal acne: are you also on the pill and taking spiro?

I’m planning to come off Yasmin pill and just wondered how many people taking spiro for hormonal acne are / are not on the pill along side it? Would be really helpful to get an idea of people who don’t need the pill along side spiro!

Staying on spiro but coming off the pill - any advice?

I’ve been on Yasmin pill and 50mg of spiro consistently for the past 3 years and my skin has been amazing. Everytime I’ve tried to come off, I’ve come off both meds at the same time and my skin has become worse again.

I’m now considering coming off Yasmin and staying on spiro. Has anyone done this and it worked?

I am wanting to do this mainly because of weight gain and from looking at the calendar over the past few years every time I went on the pill I gained weight. I’m also on vortioxetine antidepressants but I’m wanting to try coming off the pill first.

I’m considering also upping my spiro dose too in case of post flare ups. The thought of getting acne again is really stressing me out but so is eating low calorie foods and restrictive diet.

Thank you :)

Alternating between 5mg and 10mg dose every other day

I am wanting to go from 10mg to 5mg, but asked if I can gradually taper off rather than halving straight away. My GP suggested 10mg one day and then 5mg another for a month - has anyone ever done this before? I can't find anything online discussing this and I'm worried about jumping to and from. She said it will even out to 7mg going in between each week.

App alternatives to MyFitnessPal?

MFP has changed for the worse - does anyone have any alternatives that are accurate but also have a lot of UK vegan items already logged in? Annoyed I have to move as MFP has a vast amount of UK vegan items in the system.

Thanks!

Can only see macros in percentages since last week

I looked this issue up here as assuming others have had it so apologies if so but I couldn’t find it in this group.

Since last week my app appearance randomly changed where I can’t see the macros for each individual meal as grams, only percentages. Does anyone know how to change this back?? Do I need to go premium now?? I asked MFP but they haven’t got back to me

If I can’t change it I’ll have to change app I think. I’m finding it so stressful on how to work out the percentages!

Visiting Kyrenia

Apologies if I am ignorant when writing this. I am a tourist and am going to visit Kyrenia for a friend’s wedding who's family is turkish-cypriot, but don't want to stay in settler / occupied territories and want to support cypriots. Is it possible to do this / choosing the right accommodation and restaurants, or do people think the north should be boycotted altogether? I wouldn't visited Israeli occupied parts of Palestine so want to do the same for Cyprus

Jeavons Chocolate !!

I tried two of their chocolate bars (smooch and caramel shortcake) for the first time today and it is by far the best vegan chocolate I've ever had. Smooch are similar to rolos and caramel shortcake tastes so much like rocky biscuits. I wish they sold them in supermarkets

Has anyone else tried them??

Nervous about PTs new exercises for me

My new PT seems great but she just assigned these exercises which have triggered my costo in the past:

Standing shoulder press

Seated cable row

Lat pull down

Tricep push down

She said that it’s important to strengthen back and that my form probably wasn’t right before / was using too heavy weights, which is probably right as I was doing it by myself. whereas I am starting 121 sessions in person now. My physio a while ago said I should eventually try and strengthen my back.

has anyone else struggled w these exercises or have you been ok with them? To be clear I am not having a costo flare up right now.

thanks!

had these put in and have been told they are natural shedding but my hair never usually has white on the root when it falls out naturally. they are raccoon luxe hair extensions. worried they’re ruining my hair !

i have had them in for about 6/ 7 weeks and have had about 10 extension bits come out - none of my hair came out with them though. I was told it’s normal for a few to come out as they put a lot in
