Blood patch scheduling issues

I’m was scheduled for my third patch for mid September. I had my second end of April and it was decided I needed to have another one done but they were booked out until mid September. This was scheduled end of May and now I just got a message saying they don’t have enough staff and it won’t be until November ! A month might seem not like a long time for some people but I’m so tired of feeling sick.

Has anyone dealt with so many scheduling delays? This happened last time year too.

Isn’t cedars a top CSF leak program ?? how can they even run as a “top” center without enough staff?!!

That means if this doesn’t work im going to have to wait until next year to get a different kind they said that involves a spinal tap…

I’ve had this leak for probably 8 or more years and finally just figured out what had been causing all my pain and i hate waiting

Has anyone else dealt with this kind of scheduling ?

How soon after getting your hair done is it appropriate to ask for a tweak? Can I ask the same day?

I got my hair done and I kinda liked it when I left ,although I was tired, and when I got home I realized the highlights werent bright enough or dimensional. It really doesn’t look like I got my hair done at all :/ I was going to text my stylist tonight but now I think it’s too late. Is it ok to wait a day ?

Best spray tan solution for ocean water?

I currrently use norvell one in a foam bottle and it faded fast but I’m not sure if it was either the spray sunscreen I was using (which I now know is not good for spray tan) or if it was the salt water?

When I was in the Mediterraneanu ocean , the water not only stripped my tan off day one, but stripped even my nail polish off !

The Pacific Ocean water isn’t as salty so it doesnt seem to do it as bad but still not sure.

Any suggestions?

Favorite spray tan solution for putting in foaming bottle?

I currently use norvelle one rapid in a foaming bottle but I feel like the product goes bad fast and the price went up $5 within the past two years. Anyone have any good rapid spray tan solutions that they’ve used in a foaming bottle ?

Thanks

What’s the current timeline for covid exposure to when you test positive ?

I was exposed Friday & Saturday (Saturday being the worst) of last week. I took a test last night around 11pm cause I was stressed but it was negative. I’m feeling ok today(Thursday afternoon) so it’s been like 5 days.

Hoping to get some first hand experience with this current strain. I see posts from like 4-6 months ago but not sure if anything has changed. Im hoping I’m in the clear but I don’t know as of yet

Thanks .

Basic super moisturizing eye moisturizer /cream?

I currently use SVR palbebral eye cream and aquaphor but I find my under eyes are still dry later in the day. Does anyone here have a good basic moisturizing eye cream or even a face lotion ? My eye area gets the most irritated as well as my hands.

I use the avene xeracalm ad balm on my hands at night with cotton gloves - has anyone tried this on their face?

Thanks !

Covid exposure help

I was exposed to Covid. I never go anywhere but I picked my grandma (who is 98) up from the acute nursing care facility to watch tv and have dinner and then she tested positive for Covid later that night. She is the strong kinda lady who never complains about anything or how she is feeling so you never know if she is sick or not because she won’t tell you:(

I’ve been going through the Reddit threads and I’ve read about the following supplements about Covid exposure :

Quercetin with bromeline
Vitamin d + k2
Mito - q
Can I take these all together ?

My insurance most likely won’t cover xocova because I have Medicare so I don’t think that is an option.

I just don’t know the dosages for everything besides the mito (20mg in the morning on an empty stomach)

I ordered them on Amazon and paid for expedited 3 hrs shipping and they got here in about 2hrs.

What would the “protocol” be for taking all these together and at what dosage?

Very sad about this for my grandma (who is 98) as well she has never gotten it and had to go the this acute care facility because she fell and has to do rehab:(

Looking for an indie perfume similar to a perfume that was discontinued

Here is the description :

Top notes include: apple, red currant, violet leaves, mandarin and bergamot. Heart: amarylis,freesia, plum
Base notes: Hinoki, amber, cedar.

“It was created of aromas which introduce clear waves of luminous and fresh fruit, adding floral harmony of bitter-sweet nuances of pear blossom, with a finish of hot wood and sensual musk on your skin”

In my mind it reminds me of like sparkling pear/apple with a little bit of warmth. Very fresh and clean but not linen/laundry scent.

Anyone know of any indie perfumes ? This scent was my favorite and I can’t find anything like it.

Thank you!

It was called true religion for women I got it in high school (2008) I found one online but it makes me not want to use it lol

Many people have reported that Retinol (prescription , otc, derivatives) have caused or intensified their migraines and/or tension headaches

Just came across this thread and found it very informing. Had no idea this could even be a cause ! Just wanted to inform anyone if they notice any side effects. I’ve also read that peptide serums could also contribute.

Help !! Do ducolax suppositories cause cramping as bad as the tablets?

I have so much stomach pain right now and I feel like I’m going to puke all I have are ducolax suppositories !

I took the tablets once and it cause such severe cramping for hours I had to take Imodium to stop the pain. I’ve used glycerin suppositories with good results but I’m at my parent’s house and there are only ducolax suppositories. I would run to the store or ask someone to get me glycerin ones but it’s midnight.

Haven’t gone in 4 days I feel like my stomach is going to explode!!

Should i just do the suppositories ? MiraLAX makes me feel so nauseous and fatigued so I don’t like to take it often
. I’m so nauseous right now as well 😭

Apologies for typos

Looking for a co2 lift equivalent

It can still be luxe but the price per mask is kinda insane. I was hoping to find one for at least 3 for $100ish lol.

I was able to get 3 for $216 ( $72 for a single use product is crazy still) it helps my skin and I don’t break out which is miraculous for me !

I saw some Dr medion one but I don’t see a ton of reviews about it. There’s one called feelface? I’ve searched this thread but haven’t really found any more info and wanted to see more insights.

Thanks!

Help making simple cleansing balm

I have safflower seed oil and Cromollient sce but would like to make it into a balm.

I can’t use a lot of wax products due to my acne prone skin so I was looking at Cera Bellina Wax. How Would I make this into a balm?

I was thinking :

5% cera Bella
15% Cromollient SCE
80% safflower oil

Do I need tocopherols?

Does anyone have a recipe I could follow? I’ve never made a two phase product before.

Thank you!

I found this recipe and was going to modify with the ingredients I have
