I dont see dermatology for another few weeks...

2nd flare up that came back worse after applying ointment for a couple days...I have these little blisters in my palms and fingers and they seem to multiply everyday even after I stopped using the soap that I think may have triggered it. Any advice? Thank you

Hiprex

Can it be used to treat an acute, possibly embedded infection? I've finished 2 rounds of macrobid within the past 3-4 weeks and both times the infection has returned almost immediately after.

My urologist prescribed me hiprex but I wasn't able to pick it up from the pharmacy until yesterday, the day I finished the antibiotics. Thanks

mitrofanoff vs suprapubic catheter?

Hello, 21f here suffering from recurrent UTIs. I self catheterize due to a sacral nerve injury in 2022. I see a urologist on the 12th and have considered both of these options, but from anyone elses experience, which one is better and has less cons/chance of infection?

Thank you

while taking and after invega + my story

I'm a bit weary posting my face on here but I've posted in this sub plenty of times.

In the first picture, I was well near 300 pounds at just 18 years old. I looked completely dead inside. In the 2nd (2 or so weeks ago) I am down a significant amount 2 years after being off of invega, which I was wrongfully prescribed and forced to take.

I was court ordered to take the invega injection every month because of my hostile and aggressive behavior. But you know, I was being sent to behavioral health facilities for issues that could have been resolved if someone were to just listen to me. At the time, I was diagnosed as bipolar and then later on diagnosed with schizoaffective disorder...and *then* borderline personality disorder.

The entire time, it was ADHD. My anger and frustration throughout the years of being mistreated by doctors was completely justified. Years of medical malpractice hurt and affected my body and brain in ways that I didn't know were possible.

If you are struggling, please reach out to someone who will listen to you. Your mental and physical health isn't worth all of the lifelong and traumatic side effects that these medications cause.

Wearing regular jewelry after stretching septum

I had my septum up to 6g earlier this year and I took my jewelry out to let the hole shrink so that I could wear regular sized jewelry. But the hole only closed to about 10g, maybe 12? Any idea on what I could use/do to wear at least a 14g?

Unsure if it's a UTI or not

21f. I went swimming with a few friends the other day and ever since then I've had really cloudy urine that doesn't resolve no matter how much water I drink. There's no smell to it and I don't have any urgency either like I usually do when I have a UTI. I self cath which is part of the issue and isn't helping. I noticed some yellow discharge this morning that smelled pretty strong and then some discharge on the catheter after removing it. Asking here first before I spend hundreds of dollars going to urgent care

complete sacral nerve injury treatment?

21f, 5'4 230lbs, former smoker, spinal fusion in 2022 now suffering from neurogenic bladder and bowel.

anyways, is there any treatment that I would qualify for to improve my quality of life after a complete s2-s3 nerve transection? It happened in 2022 and I was never really made aware of the full extent of my injuries nor was I really given any information on how to treat the only remaining issues with my pelvic floor concerning my bladder and bowels. I have to self cath every day and I end up constipated for weeks on end thanks for the neurogenic bowel.

I've looked into sacral neuromodulation but apparently it doesn't work for those with complete injuries so it seems my only option left is to get a urinary diversion.

Should I be worried new visible veins or am I just really pale?

I've noticed that the veins on top of my thighs are more visible than usual and some in my arms. I am really pale obviously and I used to live a pretty sedentary lifestyle but now Im walking around a lot more.

Adderall XR chest pain

21f, 230lbs and 5'4. I don't have any known physical health issues besides sleep apnea.

I've started taking Adderall XR 10mg for my ADHD, for the last 4 days and today after eating I keep getting very brief bouts of chest tightness. I don't know if it's just anxiety because I struggle with that as well but I did feel a little dizzy earlier. The dizziness happened on the first day of taking it as well but mostly as it wore off. I took my dose at 9am today and took it a little late yesterday on accident at around 2pm.

The other thing is that I took it consistently for the first two days and it worked but only for a few hours but the last 2 days I haven't felt much of a difference at all.

I am going to talk to my doctor soon, but does any of this sound like an immediate emergency?

When they claim to hate you but copy every aspect of your personality

As the title says. Has happened far too much in every (former) friendship that I've had with someone who has BPD. If you hate me that much maybe don't copy the exact same tattoo that I have in the exact same place. This person specifically most likely has NPD as well...

They don't matter to me anymore, as I never mattered to them unless I was providing something.

Is it too late?

Bilateral s2 nerve transection in 2022 still affecting my bladder and bowel and sexual function. Is it too late to ask about a nerve transfer?

I don't want to live like this anymore

TOMAX procedure

Hello, transected bilateral s2 nerve after a fall from a tall height (also resulted in L5 being broken)

This accident was four years ago, so would I have any luck with the TOMAX procedure? I am a female, for reference. I have looked into nerve transfers or nerve grafts as well but Google says that after 18 or so months, the pathways for sexual function have completely died off. Also, would it be worth checking if I qualify for a neuromodulator for my bladder/bowel function?

Thank you!

Has anyone tried/had success with metamucil?

Question/s about living with other people

As the title says - I am moving soon and will be living with 3 other people. I worry about my benefits being reduced. I will be paying 25% of the rent as well as utilities. So, before I call my local SS office, is there a chance that my benefits could be reduced?

thank you!
