Does anyone here have melasma? I thought at first it was sun damage, so I went to a plastic surgeon’s office and spoke to their aesthetician. That was the first time I ever heard of it. She put me on an Obagi regiment, but that stuff is expensive and it’s only temporary. I looked into microneedling, but meh. Just wondering if other fellow DBG’ers have it and what worked for them. 

 
I have melasma.  Little bit on both sides of cheeks and on my upper lip.  It was so dark, but I'm outside gardening in the sun a lot in the summer, so I started using a lot of sunscreen every 2 hours, as the sun will make melasma worse.  I use retinol a few times a week and azelaic acid a few times a week,  Any time I see signs of irritation , peeling or redness begin, I stop and only use things to help heal the skin.  Irritation can make melasma worse, so any of those signs back off.  This has worked great for myself.  My melasma use to be so much darker and it was embarassing, but now I could hardly notice.  It took about 2 years, so It's a slow process, but so worth the wait.

  5. CnC5 @ CnC5: @LatsDoodis so who do you use now??? I heard adhd online is a good and easy place to get adderall! Please let me know who you go through! Thanks!
  6. LatsDoodis @ LatsDoodis: Pharmacies, too. I switched my psychiatrist and just went through a pill mill telehealth place for a half year, then it got popular and all major pharmacies stopped filling Rx stims for this company’s independent contractor-providers, regardless of any reason than they treated ADHD patients with stims and it was a lot of people. Independent medical judgment from clinicians licensed and following rules. I needed the treatment. Who cares how many patients use the company? They followed the rules.
  7. LatsDoodis @ LatsDoodis: That’s wild. It should be medical judgment, not corporate fear of lawsuits. Go set that doc straight. You need to have pain controlled aggressively or not at all. Be consistent.
  8. N @ NYStateofMind: Monday Funday

  12. xenxra @ xenxra: @WTF7218 it may as well be that way with how little effort some of the people on here make to find information that's exactly where you would expect it to be.
  13. ontovzik @ ontovzik: When I had long term shingles, lasting two months. All he could give me was a 10 day supply of dilaudid. He looked at the ground while we were talking about it. I could tell he was ashamed but it was the legislature and the governor that tied his hands. He was very upset that non-medical political people, the media, and the scared public were controlling how he treated his patients. Someday those people will need meds and a hospital bed and they will be gone.
  14. ontovzik @ ontovzik: I had a great doctor, he had the true gift of a healer and he stayed on top of all the science. He straight up told me that for many people opiods work for managing short and long term pain.
  15. ontovzik @ ontovzik: He peed it in the snow in my backyard.
  16. WTF7218 @ WTF7218: @xenxra 😆😂. Yes, but only a few brave souls will ever find the number. You must first order a Dirty Shirley from the bartender. Then you must discreetly take the cocktail napkin from under your drink and unfold it. There you will find the map to the location of the phone number, and clues to decipher the code that it is written in.
  17. xenxra @ xenxra: he left his phone number scribbled in a stall at the pub three blocks down
  18. N @ NYStateofMind: @Alkazar I would try one of those easy online ones .. reddit gives useful info about that
  19. Alkazar @ Alkazar: @NYStateofMind I dont really have a history of abusing things, my docotr is just really stingy. I am thinking of switching.
  20. C @ Cheesus: Thanks xenxra
