My armpits have been itching for months now. Like it’s embarrassing there’s no rash they just itch all the time. I use dove spray deodorant. I tried using degree and suave antiperspirant and my armpits still itch like crazy. I don’t know what to do!!!

I’m 20F on the transplant list with MELD score 10. I have enlarged spleen , portal hypertension, history of esophageal varices. I’ve been taking birth control Aurovela 1-20 tab . I’ve been on it since last October because before taking it my periods were really heavy and I bled everywhere. Since being on the birth control my periods are much lighter, shorter, but I’ve been getting 2 periods. My liver team recommends a IUD, because the birth control can cause a risk of blood clots which isn’t good when it comes time for transplant. I have a couple relatives that are very against IUD because it’s a foreign object inside my body. And that I can just stop the birth control when I get my call. But I don’t want to cause even more complications. I have no idea what to do. I’m nervous for the iud. But also don’t know what to do. Any advice is greatly appreciated. Also wanted to mention I suffer from migraines.

Hi I’m 20F I get migraines but I’m also a liver transplant patient and I’ve been listed for liver transplant for 5 months. I was taking Emgality but the injection gave me panic attacks so I started to take Qulipta. I’ve been taking Qulipta for a few days at bedtime and overall it’s been pretty good. But I’ve started to get some stomach pain which I think is probably constipation. I also had a very weird experience sleeping last night. It’s like I kept waking up and closing my eyes constantly. I don’t remember it exactly but that’s what I can remember. The migraines have to get figured out and I don’t know what to do. I don’t want to suffer from them so that’s why I take something for them. I’m scared that taking all migraine medicine away will make things even worse. I love a pretty normal life, pretty busy, I have school and work and responsibilities that I need to function through

I’m 20 F. I have portal vein hypertension, enlarged spleen, low iron, history of esophageal varices. I’m on the transplant list at a score of 10. I’ve been listed for 5 months. I get migraines and have for a couple years. I was taking Emgality but the injection gave me panic attacks so I started to take Qulipta.

Hi. I’m 20F and I’m in college. I have non cirrhotic portal vein hypertension, low iron, large spleen and history of esophageal varices and bleeding in my stomach. I am on the liver transplant listed very low around MELD 10. I was listed back in February. I started taking birth control last October. I take Junel Fe. I started taking it to help with the flow of my periods and also for sex in the future but mainly for the periods atp. I’ve been on it for some time now but I get 2 periods a month like one every 2 weeks and the flow is lighter but the period is painful, but now I’m getting them twice. My liver team wants me to do an IUD. But the iud that is suggested is copper iud with no hormones. I have a close family member that is deinfluenced about the idea of IUD because it will prevent me from having a kid later in life, and the iud won’t do anything to help with my periods. I see both sides and trying to see what to do about this. I need to get my period under control. I don’t know what to do. I could stay on Junel Fe but I’ll probably keep getting two periods or the doctor said we can increase the dose.

My ex reached out a couple weeks ago stating they are sorry for what happened and how the relationship ended and agreed to talk and take things slow. This person and i have been talking but their responses have been spaced out throughout the days and now it’s been over a day since I’ve heard from them. I feel like I pushed them away bc I doubled texted one time, I sent more than one snap bc they weren’t responding. They still follow me on all socials and are matched with me on the dating app but I haven’t heard much since yesterday and nothing today. I try to keep my distance and not show too much emotion.

I’m 20F I was diagnosed with non cirrhotic portal hypertension back in 2023, after suddenly getting sick one day after never being sick most of my life. I was rushed to the hospital and immediately airlifted to a well known children’s hospital, where I had varcies and blood transfusions. I eventually went home and have had endoscopy since then, but now my liver disease has progressed to hepatopulmonary syndrome as well as enlarged spleen,low iron, frequent nausea and headaches. No one knows how this all came about, I was really sick at birth so the doctors think that may be why but I haven’t drank or smoked ever. With all this being said I’ve been on the list for a few months. My liver team is great. I’m heading to university this fall after struggling these last couple years at a community college. I’m doing this to spark some excitement and motivation into me and to push me to do better in school. Ever since being listed it’s difficult for me to catch a break whether it’s a doctors appointment, school, friends, work, etc. I also feel like I’m running out of time bc the call is unexpected. What do I mean by this? I mean I don’t work a lot but I work at a pharmacy and I’m heading into a healthcare career but I’m not scheduled much and I have things to pay for and to keep up with I feel like I’m falling behind while also trying to balance school and life. For example it’s summer but I’m trying to work my job, picked up a side job, taking summer classes, all so I can have enough money for when I go to university in the fall and so that when i eventually get the call I have the money I need. I’m low on the list but been on for about 5 months so who knows. I also have noticed recently that my appetite is like completely gone. I go grocery shopping and end up buying stuff I never eat because I have like no appetite and I think it’s related to my spleen. Like today I had 2 bites of a granola bar,a few strawberries, coffee and water. For lunch I had a small peanut butter and jelly, crackers and some blueberries and I haven’t really eaten since that was 10 hours ago then I just had a tiny granola bar and a sip of a protein shake so I don’t wake up with a migraine. It’s like I don’t even get hungry and I hate it bc I go to the store and waste money on food that goes bad bc I don’t eat it. The only thing that gets me to eat is when I’m with a friend or something and we go get food or with family but otherwise I have like no appetite and I don’t know what to do. I cannot be doing this at university when I’m all by myself I need to get my appetite figured out.

I’m 20F and my parents were married for about 22 years and about 6 years ago in 2019, my father and I found out that my mother was having an affair with a “family friend”. My father’s a construction management guy and had his own business for a while and has done the same work throughout his life. He stopped drinking when I was born and says that I’m the most important person in his life and the reason he’s still here. My mother drinks frequently and it’s scary and becomes embarrassing when others are around. My mother married the man she had an affair with and I’ve been living with her and her husband since she had the affair. When i first found this out with my father I was very disappointed and probably will always be. I didn’t like her husband after i found out she was cheating. Anyways I live with them and I see my dad several times a week and him and i are very close. I don’t know how to describe my mother perfectly but she’s definitely changed. She’s very frugal for not much of a reason, she posts her body all over FB, posts absolutely everything all over FB, she hosts wedding anniversary parties for her and her husband. She looks down on her old life with me and my dad where we were a happy family, went on vacation, did fun things , lived in a beautiful neighborhood, she used to be so clean around the house. I live with her and her husband who own prairie dogs which live in the house along with dogs, it’s causes the house to be smell and they don’t seem to be bothered by it, but i rarely have people over because it’s very embarrassing, I have my own space and room here that i clean daily and keep tidy, but i always am cleaning up their mess in the kitchen and it gets messy hours later. I am also going through some health issues where i am currently on the list for an organ transplant and the recovery of that requires me to be in a very clean environment with no bacteria. Ive mentioned my concerns to my doctor and will probably bring them up again when it comes time for surgery.

Anyways, my mom is very self centered and she says to everyone that they can believe in whatever they want while she downplays and jokes about people that believe in god. I believe in god and so do a lot of my friends and my father. I had a guest over at my house one time and my mother and her husband were making fun of Jesus on Easter!!! My guest was very uncomfortable and told me how he felt later on and I felt absolutely horrible. When it comes to Christmas and my moms birthday she claims to want a bunch of expensive gifts from me because that’s what my father used to do and my mothers husband basically demands me of this expensive gift each year, I’m in college i need to save money and this year I will be declining his request when he asks if I’m going to get her this gift and he’s going to have to figure it out. I apologize if some of this doesn’t make sense but it’s very exhausting living with them, and luckily I took it on myself to go away for college the next few years so I’ll be moving in August and I’m looking forward to some time to breathe.

Especially with my transplant coming up it’s very hard to live with my mom and her husband who LAUGH in the doctors face when she says they need to get vaccinated because i will be immunocompromised for the rest of my life after this surgery. My father has plans to bring in and pay for a cleaning lady at my mom’s house. My mother’s husband scares me , he’s awkward, he’s rude, he’s dramatic and i will never understand why she chooses him over me. My mom wants me to be like her i know it. I did community college the last two years miserably bc it’s what she wanted and now I’ve realized how much I don’t like it and I need to get away. I’m trying to live my life but it’s hard when my mom freaks out when I buy myself coffee, an outfit, makeup,etc. I understand saving money but I will never be like her. I work a lot and try to get as many hours as possible to get away from them and I want to be in the healthcare field and I work for a pharmacy currently.

Hi. I’m 20 years old and I’ve been taking Emgality migraine shot since January 2024. I used to take amitripthyline but my migraines were worse at the time ( I believe due to a person who was in my life). For reference I get migraines but I also am on the list for a organ transplant so I get my blood drawn frequently but im terrified of needles I get so scared when giving myself the shot and my family members make fun of me because I sit there forever before taking it. I was supposed to take it a couple days ago but held off bc im nervous but I’ve also noticed that I haven’t had any headaches or migraines over the last couple days. I finally took it a few minutes ago after procrastinating with the shot in my hand. All of the medication didn’t go in and now im disappointed in myself but i seriously want to take something other than this shot, id rather take a pill then this. I also take u brelvy for breakthrough headache and migraines. What should I tell my doctor? I get very anxious to take this each month- is there anything else?? I don’t really get side effects other than maybe weight gain.
