Aside from the character, the colors are what drew me to that one!

I don't think my doses were upped by too terrible much, I'll be surprised if I don't find out I need another after my upcoming appointment.

That said, I've seen the return of the signs that reverted with the medication change!

Unfortunately, the conversion from valerate to depo brought my levels low enough to see reversion of some signs of change.

I did have frequency and dosage increases, but this remained true for 6mo. My new doctor (I had to switch planned parenthoods) said my dosages were quite low and upped them.

I had my 3mo follow-up, and I switched to depo-estradiol (cypionate).

I can still get itchy, but there's been no bumps or the hard, textured reactions they became.

I'm still a little worried the itching will become a worse reaction, but at 9mo of it I'm beginning to think that won't happen.

Turns out my skin doesn't like estradiol valerate or something. I was having bumps near injection sites, which eventually became a stronger reaction.

I'm actually not clear if it was the E, adhesive, or maybe the metal of the needle.

This might be easier to say than internalize, but I think anyone who would hold something like this over you isn't anyone to take seriously.

The WSJ sure hasn't found ethical consumption under capitalism. 🙄

I'm addicted to pop, too. I'm doing good if I only have a couple in a day (I used to drink 6 or so), but even that is only possible if what I am drinking is flavored.

the pics you took are fucking ART - killer hair, btw

In less exciting news, the mail also brought Spiro and and a jury summons.

So many jojo characters are like this for me

Very cool, I'll have to narrow down the list some other way, though...

I've got step one down, how do I know if any of the names I've considered are cunty?

Skylings? Bluetiful people?

I converted my old laptop to mint. It's still not the fastest thing (shoulda done the bare bones), but it is still miles ahead of the bloat-ridden HP windows 8.

Can I just name drop a 🏴‍☠️ source here?
