r/acne•

I’m in my early twenties and I’ve always had adult acne. However, is was at a point where I only had a few active pimples at a time and could confidently cover up all of my acne scars. Around a year ago, I moved from a suburban/rural area where I attended college to the city where I started my first full-time job. My acne has exploded and my self esteem is horrible despite adding more things to my routine. It’s mostly concentrated to the left and right of my chin, but it’s all over my face now. I have combo sensitive skin. Does anyone have any advice on how to adjust my skincare routine?

Parts of my routine that I have kept from college:
Benzyl Peroxide 4% face wash in the morning

Around a year ago, I moved from a suburban/rural area where I attended college to the city where I started my first full-time job. My acne has exploded and my self esteem is in the gutter despite adding more things to my routine. It’s mostly concentrated to the left and right of my chin, but it’s all over my face now. I have combo sensitive skin. Does anyone have any advice on how to adjust my skincare routine?

r/carbuying•

My boyfriend and I both have autism and I have various physical conditions and we’re looking to buy my boyfriend a used car as his was totaled months ago. He has 7.5k from insurance and can spare about 3.5k more if needed making his budget will all fees $10k. We don’t know much about cars and are struggling with the social and financial aspects of buying a new car.

I feel like used car costs are very inflated where we live and we’re having trouble finding something under 100k miles with a reliable brand with our budget. Right now we’re going to look at a 2012 Chevy Malibu with 50k miles that’s $8.4k before fees. No accidents, good service history, one owner. I’m worried this price is high,

r/endometriosis•

My PCP referred me to an endometriosis specialist for my symptoms. I have chronic pelvic pain, pain with penetration, very brief but very painful period cramps, and I had an ovarian torsion and oopherectomy at one point.

My concern is I don’t want another lap. I had a lap to remove my dead ovary after the torsion. The report found nothing and I am not doing that again. I’m horrified over the fact that I would have to walk into the same hospital I had the lap in 3 years ago to see the endo specialist.

I have done 2 courses of pelvic floor physical therapy which helped, I use a pelvic wand weekly which helps, and I started Lyricq which is also helping.

I also have other pressing health is

r/ToxicWorkplace•

I love all of the benefits of my job, but my boss is getting on my last nerve. I don’t want to leave because the benefits are amazing for my chronic illness, but my boss has made me cry a couple times now because she was rude or refuses to help me on things I have no knowledge of.

I work in a healthcare office and I routinely give patients CPT codes so they can check coverage with their provider. One of the CPT codes is considered unlisted and many insurances need more information from the office. I don’t know what to do in these situations. I have no training on insurance, billing, or even the office medical procedures. My boss claims she doesn’t know, won’t help me figure it out, and ign

My boss has made me cry twice

Support Needed (Kind Advice and Commiseration)

I’m currently winding down in my open office after my boss was super rude to me. She’s rude to me and our patients about 50% of the time. Usually, I don’t care. I know she is anxious and insecure and that is what is making her lash out, but this is the second time it has really got to me because I am pms-ing and on the verge of a meltdown.

I am in a small department and my boss was on PTO for the week. One of the medical releases I sent had her phone number and an error on it instead of my phone number. She told me this in a disgusted tone after I clocked in and told me I needed to figure it out. I checked all of my releases in my office, and they all had my phone number. Likely my coworke

r/AutismInWomen•

I recently switched to a new psychiatrist after seeing seeing my old one for 10 years. I was upfront on the first visit with my new psychiatrist that I suspected I had autism, a few doctors have suspected I have it, but I did not have an official evaluation. She did not comment on her opinion as we had just met.

I had my 4th appointment with my new psychiatrist a few days ago. I told her that I notice low doses of medicine seem to impact me quickly. Paraphrasing, she told me: People with autism can be more sensitive to medications and low doses can impact them quicker. She reviewed the records from my old psychiatrist and autism was listed under my diagnosis list. She agrees that I display

r/pregabalin•

My pain management doctor prescribed me 25mg 1x daily for a week and then 50mg 1x daily afterwards for fibromyalgia. The plan is that I will stay on this dose until I see her again in a month.

I am already noticing a noticeable amount of pain reduction on this small dose. It’s not gone, but the range of my tingling pain is reduced and my skin feels less reactive to touch. I am also noticing my energy is a bit higher and my anxiety is a bit reduced. However, I am having crazy side effects. I am switching between feelings of restlessness and malaise. I feel like at moments I can’t stop moving and talking and I have more energy and then moments later I am exhausted, sickly, and having coordin

r/ChronicIllness•

I decided to try to tackle my health problems again after a bout of ignoring my health because I get overwhelmed with the amount of appointments I am asked to go to.

I have multiple urgent issues I am dealing with right now and a few moderate issues I’d like to tackle eventually. It seems every appointment I go to, I am provided with 2-3 referrals to other providers and I cannot keep up with it and I do not agree with all of them.

I am working full time, and very few of these doctor’s offices are open when I am not working. My boss is lenient, but I can’t leave early multiple times a month for these appointments because it makes me anxious making up the time and I am severely fatigued fr

r/Fibromyalgia•

I have been in moderate to severe pain for 4 years and mild to moderate pain for ten years. I finally decided to go to a pain management doctor a few days ago and was diagnosed with fibromyalgia.

I filled out a lot of information about my pain which my doctor fully reviewed and diagnosed me with fibromyalgia. She lightly elaborated that it was because I am in pain all over and I was given a pamphlet that explained what it was. I tried to ask some questions, but it seemed like she did not quite understand what I was saying. However, I did have a migraine during the appointment and I tend to word vomit during those.

I expressed that I was under the assumption that maybe I had a muscle imbala

r/FemaleHairLoss•

I am 23 and recently bought a headband to hold my hair back when I wash my face. I noticed that my hairline is wavy, and spots are starting to recede. I also noticed thinning around my left temple. My mom struggles with hair loss and when I sent her pictures, she told me it’s likely receding.

I only noticed this a few days ago and I have cried multiple times over it. My self esteem has plummeted immensely. I am dealing with multiple health issues and I have horrible fatigue. I feel like I cannot let my hairline keep receding, but I also don’t know if I have the energy to tackle it. I can hardly brush my teeth and wash my face every day. Having my hair start receding in addition to having a

I have a 2015 Honda CRV currently at 95k miles and I received it from a family member at 80k miles. The car fax car care is not able to tell me specifically if any of the fluids have been changed, it just says “routine maintenance completed”. I know nothing about cars and my brother told me to get the following fluids changed: transmission fluid, brake fluid, differential fluid, engine coolant, power steering fluid. He will assist me with the transmission fluid because he says not to flush it.

I made an appointment with a regional chain to get the brake fluid, differential fluid, engine coolant, and power steering fluid changed this weekend. It says they will use valvoline products. I was r
