This has [b
I've been dancing my heart out for the last couple days. In public. I don't know why I'm just happy to be alive and moving and I don't even need music. It is honestly so abnormal for me to be dancing that I figured I should ask here? Nothing bad comes from the urge to dance in public yeah? F19 5'4 1

F23 just ran a 10k. For reference I use to be a big runner so I have pride but haven't ran in a few months so no foundation. Absolutely killed myself to PR today. The race was brutal with cramping in my legs and lower back. I have probably ran hundreds of races. NEVER before have I gotten so immedi

Be careful and vigilant when dealing with maverick prescribers. Look at this example, the dosage was flagged and followed up on yet dispensed regardless. https://www.theage.com.au/national/victoria/drug-for-common-skin-disorder-implicated-in-grandfather-s-death-20180206-p4yzik.html

There seems to be a lot of confusion with the recent posts of bleach baths, so here is some research I did and it's summaries. (I am by no means an expert in dermatology, my only relevant experience is research in Systems Biology) A study found that colonization of S. aureus, a bacteria part of the

I was previously on Dupixent but had to stop after six months because it caused red flares and psoriasis.

Hey everyone, This is an update from my original post here: https://www.reddit.com/r/CholinergicUrticaria/comments/1j5284v/i_am_suffering/ It’s been 7 months now…and honestly, life has been incredibly tough.
