Wondering if anyone has this combo of symptoms. Or if you had these symptoms, did it lead to something else?? Thanks. Obviously driving myself crazy waiting on results.

Stomach burning, almost feels like acid is burning my lining. Mild nausea pretty much 24/7, I’ve forgotten what it feels like to not be slightlyyy nauseous all the time. FATIGUE! Headaches that can last 2-3 days. Im usually worse with all of these in the morning and sometimes by the afternoon I can actually feel hungry and eat! (I eat all day, usually rice or plain foods but in the evenings I almost feel normal I’m so hungry). Symptoms come and go in severity but never leave me completely. No digestive issues.

A few more other ones but those are the ones that have been consistent for the last 6 months. My heart goes out to anyone suffering like this

Important to note I mean retinal (retinaldehyde), not retinol.

I’ve used tret off and on for years and obviously I love the result BUT my face really does peel and I don’t care what anyways tells me, my skin doesn’t “get used to it” and stop shedding. I’m basically lightly shedding 2-3 days out of the week when I use it.

I’m interested to know if anyone has switched to retinal products (medik8, Osmosis etc) and gotten the same results from tret??

**from what I’ve heard retinal is supposed to cause less peeling, hence why I’m asking.
