Got my lab diamond under budget. Phew

Set a hard $3k budget. Aiminia worked with me to adjust the carat down a bit to keep the quality high (VS1, D). Ended up around $2.8k. Relieved it didn’t blow the budget and still looks exactly what I wanted

I noticed my MS fatigue got better

I have relapsing remitting MS. Been on high dose steroids for flares for years. The weight gain has been brutal. My neurologist suggested Mounjaro mostly to help with the metabolic side effects, not expecting anything else. Three months in, my MS fatigue improved. Not gone, but better. My brain fog cleared a little. I thought it was just because I was sleeping better or eating better.

Then I found the GATE-MS trial (NCT05787847). Phase 2 study looking at semaglutide in people with MS and obesity. The hypothesis is that GLP-1s might reduce neuroinflammation through the same pathways that help with cardiovascular inflammation.

I asked my neurologist about this. She said the data is still preliminary but there's a real signal. A small case series from Italy last year showed improved EDSS scores (disability progression) in 6 out of 8 MS patients on GLP-1s. I'm not saying Mounjaro is an MS treatment. But I'm also not saying it's not helping. My fatigue is better. My last MRI showed no new lesions. Coincidence? Maybe. But I'll take it.

Best earrings to wear pregnant? My skin has gone insane and everything irritates it now

I'm about 16 weeks and my skin has been reacting to things it never used to. My earrings are the latest casualty. I know nickel is usually the culprit but I genuinely don't know what to look for when buying new ones like what metal is actually safe vs just marketed as hypoallergenic?

How does this wig look on me?

Does this wig actually suit my face shape?

Right now I only curled the front pieces a little bit and haven’t really styled it much yet. Do you guys think it needs some trimming/layers or maybe a different style to make it look more natural on me?

Would love some opinions/suggestions!

I’m planning a trip to the south of France and started wondering how medical care works there.

If you suddenly feel really unwell while visiting Nice but it’s not an emergency, what do travelers usually do to see a doctor quickly?
