Acai berry reaction allergic

So last year i was tape binding pretty much all summer and the blisters were crazy and i tried everything and nothing seamed you work so i kinda gave up. I had gotten a tattoo and the second son irritated my arm so badly even days after, so i accepted that i was allergic to the adhesive or had sensitive skin. This year i have a new job and it's so hot that i wanted to try tape binding again. So i put a KT tape strip on no stretch or anything to text my reaction, and a day later and it felt completely fine so i tried binding. Not 24 hours later and it's itching and theres a few blisters. I think I'm over stretching it but idk how to tell if im doing that before i get blisters? Any tips on how to know im overstretching? Tape binding is my preferred method and in so frustrated that i can't figure this one out.

Hi, I’m newer here. Here is my background:
I was clinically diagnosed with Hypermobile EDS a few months ago by a rheumatologist but knew I was hypermobile since I was very young. I didn’t pursue a diagnosis earlier bc I didn’t think I needed to but now I realize it would have been a good thing and explain all of my other immune, fatigue, posture, etc. problems.
Anyway that doctor now doesn’t want to put in my record I definitively have Eds. He had told me I have the hypermobile kind, there is no blood test, printed a 20page article I should read about it and sent me on my way. (He also tested me for Lyme, Ebv, etc. Lyme was negative, Ebv positive which is what I expected.) He also mentioned having Hypermobile syndrome was better than having an eds diagnosis and something about how insurance companies think you’re dying otherwise.
When I followed up with my PCP for what I believe was a Mast cell rash based on my symptoms, she denied I had Eds, ignored all my symptoms and comments but agreed to take a biopsy of my rash. The results came back today with “Vacuolar interface alteration with scattered intraepidermal necrotic keratinocytes and superficial dermal perivascular lymphocytic infiltrate with eosinophils. The histopathologic features raise a differential diagnosis including a medication reaction, a viral exanthem, or less likely drug-induced lupus or another connective tissue disease.”
Her comment to me was I was allergic to something and should buy hydrocortisone.
I took an allergy test recently and I’m not allergic to anything. Nor was I around any new products that would cause this spot on my arm. I’m tired of the gaslighting each time I see her and plan to change PCP. I need to advocate for my health care. I feel so foggy, tired, all the things and I just need help.
How do I get help before letting this get out of control? If I can’t get a referral for immunology or genetics, I’m just being denied care. WHY would having EDS on my record be a bad thing for insurance? At this point it doesn’t matter I need the truth to come out so I can hope to feel better. I’m honestly so utterly disappointed and confused.

Originating from Nigeria, Fadogia agrestis has emerged as a subject of interest, particularly for its purported aphrodisiac properties. Animal studies have illuminated its potential to elevate testosterone levels and augment libido, along with enhancing testicular weight, hinting at its potential as a sexual performance enhancer.
Benefits of Fadogia Agrestis
Drawing from rodent studies and anecdotal reports, Fadogia agrestis showcases several notable benefits:

• Increased Testosterone Levels: Rodent trials indicate a notable surge in testosterone levels with Fadogia agrestis supplementation, showing dose-dependent increments.
• Enhanced Libido and Sexual Function: Traditional aphrodisiac use aligns with scientific findings, showcasing its pro-erectile and libido-boosting effects.
• Improved Energy and Recovery: Users often report heightened energy levels, decreased fatigue, and swifter exercise recuperation.
• Potential Anti-Inflammatory and Anti-Malarial Effects: Preliminary in vitro studies suggest its inhibitory impact on parasites, bacteria, and mild anti-malarial properties.

However, it's imperative to acknowledge the scarcity of human clinical trials regarding Fadogia agrestis benefits. Present evidence primarily stems from rodent studies and user anecdotes, necessitating further exploration to delineate its efficacy and safety in humans.
Dosage Recommendations
Tailoring the dosage to individual factors like age, weight, and health objectives is paramount. Starting with a lower dosage mitigates potential side effects, with general recommendations falling within 200-600 mg per day, divided into doses. Seeking guidance from healthcare professionals before integrating Fadogia agrestis into a supplement regimen is prudent.
Potential Side Effects
Navigating potential side effects underscores the importance of consulting healthcare professionals:

• Gastrointestinal Discomfort: Common complaints include stomach upset, bloating, and diarrhea.
• Allergic Reactions: Mild skin rashes to severe symptoms like difficulty breathing may occur.
• Hormonal Imbalances: Impact on testosterone levels may induce hormonal fluctuations.
• Sleep and Psychological Effects: Altered sleep patterns, anxiety, and restlessness may manifest.
• Liver and Kidney Concerns: Prolonged high doses may provoke inflammation and damage.
• Other Reported Side Effects: Nausea may accompany Fadogia agrestis usage.

Conclusion
While Fadogia agrestis presents intriguing potential benefits such as libido enhancement and testosterone elevation in animal studies, a cautious approach is warranted. Further research is indispensable to elucidate its effects comprehensively and ensure safety. Prioritizing evidence-based practices and seeking professional guidance facilitate informed health decisions, promoting holistic well-being.

My 10 MO exclusively breastfed daughter was diagnosed with an amoxicillin allergy after a severe reaction. She’s still healing from the attack 5 days later, with bruising leftover from the severe hives on her chest and legs. She still has some hives, at her worst it also caused her hands and feet to swell.
I am also on antibiotics, the same one she was on while having an allergic reaction. I’m early into the series while she was on the tail end. I have reached out to her Dr to see if it’s safe to breastfeed, but I’m so nervous about continuing to expose her since she still has some hives. She got better after coming off and taking Benadryl & Zyrtec (as advised by Dr) but I’m not sure if it’s just her needing more time to heal or if a transfer through breastmilk is possible? I’m sorry if this sounds crazy I’m just freaked out after what she went through and don’t have the option to offer a bottle as she won’t take it.
Should I contact my Dr to explore a different medication for myself? Should I continue taking the antibiotics?

Surgical steel is cheaper than titanium, so I was wondering if there's any reason why I shouldn't just get surgical steel.
I had my conch pierced with surgical steel in January and it's healing well with no issues at all, my nose was also surgical steel and has fully healed fine.
I know some people have allergic reactions to it but my history says that I do not. But does it affect things like the healing time or is it bad in another way I'm unaware of?

My cousins husband is allergic to shellfish and I was wondering if there are places to eat during a day trip that won’t cause him to have a reaction.

Hi, this is so embarrassing but i’m desperate at the point where i need some sort of answers. Had heart issues my whole life and actively trying to get a tilt table test so that I can get a diagnosis. i’m about 70% sure it’s POTS but drs keep turning me away without even listening to more than 5 minutes however i’ve had several halter monitors showing my BPM increasing to 130-170 randomly throughout the day.
Has anyone diagnosed with pots had an issue with throwing up/ passing out during sex? It’s usually if my feet are above my head but sometimes happens in different positions. As a younger female it’s something really difficult to bring up to the older male drs i see who already feel argumentative towards me. it’s something really uncomfortable and i don’t want to bring it up unless i know it had to do with my heart issues. I don’t feel any other symptoms that alarm me that it’s going to happen except seconds before i get hot and obviously nauseous.
Also, how do you guys deal with symptoms while trying to get an active diagnosis. My new dr is making me wear another 5 day halter however the adhesive makes me break out in hives and have an itchy allergic reaction. I’ve shown him my past halters (up to 2 weeks worth of readings) and made him aware of my allergy and he basically said before moving forward I need to do another halter. i’m feeling so defeated, tired, and basically just at my wits end. I hate the halter monitors and with a baby it sounds like a recipe for disaster as the strings are going to be ripped off no matter how hard I try. i need to get help but nobody is taking me seriously. is there any vitamins, foods, activities that can help with this while I try and find a doctor that won’t belittle me?

So this friend of mine for many years has multiple pets. About 10 years ago I took care of them for a while when I was jobless. However since then she has slacked off on house-cleaning, and increased the number of pets. She currently has 5 cats and a dog.
She doesn't have many friends so if she has to go out of town on a weekend, she will ask if I will pet-sit.
Unfortunately for the last several years, and worse since I had Covid, I've had allergic reactions every time I pet-sit at her house. Originally I felt it was just changing the litter so I told her I could pet-sit but wouldn't clean litter boxes.
I would get flu-like symptoms every time I stayed at her place overnight. Often congestion, but also headache, fever, etc. A couple of times last year it was so bad I was convinced I had caught Covid again, though I tested negative.
So this past weekend she had to leave town suddenly due to a death in her family, and I agreed to pet-sit Friday & Saturday night. No litterboxes to be cleaned, she has automated litterboxes now, that can go for longer between cleanings...
So ... Saturday morning, I wake up with a pounding headache.... It seemed to get slightly better so I went about my day, but it was nagging me the whole day. I had to leave for a few hours as well. I had noticed my heartrate was up higher than normal, but just noted that to the side. I wasn't having any congestion so hadn't realized it was the allergies again. Thought I lucked out.
By late evening I had to cancel my plans, I had a fever, much higher than normal heartrate, etc. My plans involved a lot of activity and the extra activity pushed my heartrate out of a safe range and I was starting to get lightheaded and feel faint, so I immediately cancelled the plans and went to a family member's house for a few hours. Heartrate went down but was still elevated. I do take a single medication, which lowers my blood pressure and heartrate normally, so having it up is something I watch closely. I connected it to the allergies at this point.
I was feeling a little better, but still lousy, and went back to my friend's house for the second night of pet-sitting. Ended up having chills when I went outside even though the temps were only in the upper 60s. Slept terribly, and basically had no energy all day Sunday. Heartrate was down but still higher than my normal base heart rate. Ended up sleeping most of Sunday. Managed the drive home. Back at my own place, I slept great and felt perfectly normal this morning.
The reaction this time was so strong, that I'm afraid I'm going to have to tell my friend I can't ever stay at her place again. I know part of the issue is she does not keep a clean house, so it smells strongly of her pets. That's never going to change.
Would it be worth trying an allergy medication? I know most of the allergy meds on the market are basically placebos. At this point though it has moved beyond simply congestion to something that actually is a health risk.
Opinions?

What do I do about my anxiety? It’s literally ruining my life. It’s causing Wooziness, lightheadedness, sometimes dizziness, and weakness in my arms and legs. Heart palpitations. I’ve had my Dr run so many tests and they all come back normal so it’s gotta be anxiety. I’m absolutely so afraid to take new medicine and pills. The only medicine in the world I can take regularly is ibuprofen and sometimes allergy pills. I have been prescribed anxiety medicine years ago when I was in therapy and I cried All night because my fear of choking or having a severe allergic reaction takes over. I panicked and never took them. They had soooo many possible bad side effects etc… yall idk what to do. I don’t have great insurance so it’s not like I can go wherever I want to for mental health treatment. The good ones don’t even accept my type of insurance. Like I can’t hardly go out of town, I ruin everything. 😫😫. My bf says I’m not a burden but I know I am. This is killing me. I am now depressed. I think usually the depression comes first but no my anxiety is literally causing me to be depressed. I haven’t felt this way since I had post partum and that was worse. I feel myself going back down that dark hole because I feel like I can’t enjoy my life. My quality of life is looking really dim right now.

It’s been literally 5 days but the rumination is out of control. For some reason I always have ruminations about this one professor I had over a year ago even on meds. This man has been stuck in my brain ever since I finished that class. On top of that now im having ruminations about how time is moving too fast (im always doing the math between dates that don’t seem that long ago but are and this year), I keep thinking about how I need to get pregnant right this second so I can have optimal time with the child (im 19 wtf), and if I think it’s a mistake ohhh don’t worry ! I can just kill the baby and pretend like it never happened, or omg everything feels like such an obstacle I just need to finish school, I need to move right this second even tho im unemployed and can’t move until next year or else im a failure and im wasting my life and pathetic and too old to be living with my parents. Or that im horrible and need to change my personality to hypomanic me because she’s more bareable and fun to be around. Oh and I can’t handle the subject of death in any aspect or I start losing my mind over how everything and everyone dies, and the idea of subjective experience and how we can’t experience life from the eyes of another person is consuming me horribly.
I fucking hate my brain.
Note: im not voluntarily off meds, I was having an allergic reaction to them and have to wait until next week to discuss my options.
Edit: panic attacks, shitty sleep, and irritability too fun 🥲

I saw their returns window go from two months, to one month, now to no returns on sampled items.
I returned the dior glow filter last week so the change is in effect for items purchased 6 May onwards.
Mecca is now the outlier with a returns window of 90 days.
I know some people don't agree with returning used things, but I personally found it really useful and returned everything I didn't like. It made me purchase more from sephora because purchases were low/no risk.
With prices astronomically increasing, rewards constantly getting wound back, and rewards in the boutique increasing in 'points price' to a 250-350 average from 100pt average, I'm pretty disappointed overall in Sephora. How long until they wind back sales too? 20% off becomes 17 and then 10, and four annual sales turn into 2 and then none.

Today, I want to delve into a theory that's been gnawing at me about Daenerys' supposed infertility. We all recall the scene where Mirri Maz Duur claims that Dany will never bear a living child. But what if Mirri Maz Duur lied to Daenerys as part of her revenge? What if Dany is not actually infertile?
First, let's consider the prophecy or curse that Mirri Maz Duur lays on Daenerys. She says, “When the sun rises in the west and sets in the east, when the seas go dry and mountains blow in the wind like leaves. When your womb quickens again, and you bear a living child. Then he will return, and not before.” This is often interpreted as a poetic way of saying "never," but it's also peculiarly specific—almost overly so.
In A Dance with Dragons, Daenerys experiences what many believe to be a miscarriage after consuming unknown berries while wandering the Dothraki Sea. The specific berries aren't identified, but we know that in real-world parallels, some berries are highly toxic and can cause severe physiological reactions, including miscarriage. Could it be that Dany's miscarriage was caused by something as simple as eating toxic berries, rather than infertility?
Furthermore, Daenerys’s subsequent lack of pregnancy could easily be attributed to the chaotic, stressful conditions she lives under, combined with a belief that she is infertile, possibly leading to a subconscious or psychological block.
This brings me to question Mirri Maz Duur's motives. Her prophecy could have been a manipulative tool to instill despair in Daenerys, ensuring she never hopes for or seeks a future where she could bear children. If Dany believes she's infertile, she might never try to conceive under better conditions, fulfilling the prophecy through psychological means rather than physical truth.
Let’s discuss:

• Could the berries have been the cause of her miscarriage rather than a curse or inherent infertility?
• If Dany were to eat healthily and live in a stable environment( a la take the Iron Throne), might she conceive?
• How much of the prophecy is actual magic, and how much is psychological manipulation?

What do you all think? Could Daenerys still have a chance at restoring the Targaryen dynasty, or is her fate truly sealed by the witch's words?

I am AFAB, and I regularly catch myself daydreaming about getting to start testosterone one day, but I'm currently having a problem where I'm not sure if I'm genderfluid or a trans guy, so I'm just wondering: What all happens to you and your body when you start T? I plan on getting top surgery one day when I'm old enough for it as well. And I already know alot of things it does, such as your voice lowering, right? And bottom growth, and more hair growth too right? I'd just like to know everything it does. Like, what else on your body changes? Do you get more emotional or angrier easier? And just another question, it might be dumb or obvious but I just feel like I should ask, is there any possible way somebody could have an allergic reaction to taking testosterone? Just wondering because I have alot allergies. I doubt it, but still better safe than sorry.

Hello po!
Need ko lang po ng suggestions/recommendations kung anong food masarap lutoin?
Solo na kasi ako sa apartment ko and unlike nung nakatira pa ako sa parents ko na si mama palagi nagluluto. Ngayon halos di na ako nag c'cook for myself kasi di ko alam ano uulamin 😩
Ayoko nang mag order ng take-outs 😩
If meron po kayong masuggest na quick and easy recipes, pwede nyo pong i'comment?
Badly wanna eat homemade food na.
P.S. Wag lang po yung may eggplant, crab, and shrimp kasi nagkakaroon ako allergic reaction when I eat them :))
Thank youu!

My body has become so reactive and sensitive. I know there are certain supplements and medications that people are taking to help improve their symptoms. My body is reacting so poorly to almost everything I try. Right now vitamin D is the only thing I'm tolerating. My diet is good, but I'm still having a lot of gut issues, cfs, pem, neuro and pots symptoms. I had my tryptase tested because they thought it might be MCAS, but it was perfectly normal and so they told me I don't have that.
I went to a naturopath for help because regular doctors have no clue how to help me. He gave me some supplements and I left feeling hopeful. This evening, I tried 2 out of the 5 he gave me, and instantly I had facial numbness, shortness of breath, diarrhea and chills. I'm at my wits end.
Is anyone else reacting this way to supplements/medications or foods? How am I supposed to help ease my symptoms or get better if this just keeps happening? I'm getting so scared to trial anything else. 😫

I have been on Krystexxa infusions since February. They have worked wonders for me in terms of reducing noticeable tophi and dropping my UA levels from a 10 plus (my normal range) to slightly below 1.
My last infusion however, I had a severe allergic reaction where I got hives and immediate itching all over. Due to the reaction, I am back on the Allopurinal and am hoping it has a better effect than previous times. Fingers crossed.

Ive broken 8 bones, had 3 stds (clean and done now), concussion, asthma as a kid, and i had bronchitis a few years ago. There was absolutely nothing on my medical record from Genesis except an incident from as a baby when i had an allergic reaction to a medicine, which was hives. They told me dont ask questions or tell anything about myself. And say "no sir" if they asked if I've broken any bones.
After reading some horror stories about people getting kicked out of the military for this same thing, im having a small anxiety attack. I feel like Genesis will pick up the records when I have to go go the doctors again in the military, or something like that. Theres just no way these incidents can be just gone. Ive been to the hospital over a dozen times in the past 10 years, probably more that I just can't even remember. Although im healthy, i exercise, and have a labor job I know that doesn't matter in the grand scheme of things.
Some military guys I know IRL said to block their numbers and ghost them. Is that a pussy move? I feel it is. I had to get morale waivers for drug possession charges which was a pain for the recruiters to do so. Idk though. I just need some advice.

I transitioned my cat (M~17) to this food and he's been eating that and Hill's canned Z/D exclusively for about 2 weeks. (He was overgrooming terribly and the vet can't figure out what's wrong.) The vet only sent two cans of the canned food and I was out of it for about a week, and this pooping problem continued during that time. When I search for information about this, typically I only find comments about how the food cleared up a cat's digestive problems.
I wondered if any of you had a cat experiencing this problem and if it cleared up at some point. This isn't really terrible, certainly better than the constipation he sometimes used to have, but it's gross.
Don't even know if he had a food allergy so this all may be a waste of time and money anyway. It looked more like a reaction to a flea bite or mites, but they found no evidence of that at the clinic. He got all crusty up his chest and neck and down his back. Now he's itching around his neck like crazy, so I don't know if he's still experiencing an allergic reaction to something or if it's because the scabby skin is healing.
