I’ve been spending a lot of time in the sun these last couple months and chemical fragranced sunscreen has flared up my ezcema so bad 😫😫! I’m not too concerned about texture or price, I just want a sunscreen that isn’t hard to blend in or leaves a white cast. Also, SPF 30-50 preferred. I was about to order the pipette spray SPF 30 mineral sunscreen until I read the reviews that it was difficult to rub in. I already found a good face mineral sunscreen but I need a bottle/spray can big enough for the entire body! TIA

Edit: Waterproof as well!

I’m a senior rad tech student and just started a clinic rotation at my new site. The radiologists are STRICT, and when I mean strict, I mean STRICT. The radiologist will send a tech back to redo a portable chest x-ray if the clavicles aren’t exactly equidistant from each other. If the chest x-ray is a little bit lordotic, repeat. Trachea isn’t superimposed right over the spine? Repeat. It’s to the point where I’ve seen a tech have to repeat a portable chest x-ray 5 times on a difficult ER patient just to finally get a picture that the radiologist will accept.

But that’s not even my gripe. I want to preface this by saying I understand how important it is to use a lead marker and to not rely on digital annotation! At this hospital even if your image is perfect but you happened to either forget your lead marker, your marker gets burnt out, your marker fell off the board, marker didn’t make it on the image for whatever reason, you MUST repeat. Things happen! No digital annotating of a marker even though all our post-processing systems have annotation options. I’m a student, and I understand I have to bite my tongue, but giving the patient double the radiation dose because you don’t want the techs to digitally annotate a marker just feels unethical to me and a direct violation of ALARA!! Just wanted to know other people’s opinions on this and if this is normal practice at other hospitals because this is my first time experiencing this.

I (23F) was diagnosed with PCOS at 13/14 due to abnormal weight gain, irregular periods, inability to lose weight, high testosterone, and thinning hair. As most women with PCOS are, I was put on the birth control pill in order to regulate my periods and hormones, which it did. I decided 2 years ago to stop taking the birth control pill because I didn’t want to be taking synthetic hormones anymore and I wanted to try getting my period naturally.

For two years straight, my periods stopped but I had consistent spotting that would disappear but then come back at random. Now, after two years of regularly taking myo-D-chiro-inositol pills and losing 20 lbs from Monjauro (I'm also on spironolactone & metformin), I have started to get my period so regularly that it comes back on the same exact day every month. My hormones also are all within normal range again except my DHEAs, which my doctor and I are working on. Never thought I would be so happy to get my period again!!
