Hi everyone! I wanted to share some positive news about my dad, which I have shared a couple of posts in this subreddit in the past. He is approaching one year next month, and thanks to the awesome team and his donor, he is doing amazing.

My dad suffers from GERD from scleroderma esophagus related issues, but after multiple tests and time (!!), they are ready to transition him to eating by mouth!! We are a bit nervous….but very excited and proud of him for reaching this milestone. We were told he may never eat by mouth again. If anyone is in a similar situation, there’s hope.

I hope everyone is well and has an amazing week.

Hi everyone! I was recently prescribed spiro for hormonal acne. I’m always a bit wary with medications, and after reading this sub it’s honestly made me a bit more nervous lol.

I was able to sort of get my acne under control with tret, but never fully. I tried doxycycline in the past but didn’t really do much. I can’t gauge if spiro is a life long medication or a treatment that I’d be able to wean myself off of. I honestly don’t want to try the medication if it does eliminate my acne but comes back if I stop.

The reviews here are mixed and would love to know about everyone’s experiences. Thank you!
