SUNDAY, DECEMBER 16, 2018 SJÖGREN'S & PREGNANCY - PART 4: I'M PREGNANT, NOW WHAT? Congrats! It's a really exciting time! FIRST THING YOU NEED TO DO: SCHEDULE A VISIT WITH BOTH YOUR AUTOIMMUNE DOCTOR & GYNAECOLOGIST You're going to need them to work together, so make sure they know and are in contact with each other to work together on your pregnancy. You're going to need additional care! Typically, you're advised to wait 8 weeks since your last period before your first gynae visit, but of course everyone's different, so contact them as soon as you know you're pregnant just to be sure you don't need to see them earlier. I ended up seeing a gynae at 6 weeks, just because I experienced spotting and that doctor gave me a progesterone shot as well as progesterone suppositories given the higher risk nature of my pregnancy. I was advised to have a follow up visit 2 weeks later, but unfortunately, I was in the middle of a move to a different country (it happens to where where all my usual docs are), so I could only visit my rheumatologist (the autoimmune doc) & regular gynae at 9 weeks (3 weeks later). My regular gynae recommended I continue the progesterone suppositories all the way until 12 weeks. START TAKING ASPIRIN (IF YOUR DOCTOR TOLD YOU TO) If your doctor recommends you take aspirin as soon as you find out your pregnant, start taking it! You may get flak for taking aspirin daily (I know I did), because some people believe that pregnant women need to avoid ALL medication and stick to "natural" remedies like essential oils and herbs. Ignore them and stick to what your doctor recommends, because every pregnancy is different, especially a Sjögren's pregnancy. Some of those "natural" remedies can even cause more harm than good, so please check everything with your doctor! WHAT TO EXPECT FROM YOUR FIRST VISIT.... ...WITH YOUR AUTOIMMUNE SPECIALIST You'll be told to take a blood test. It's the first of many. If everything's well, you can expect monthly blood tests throughout your pregnancy as they need these to make sure your Sjögren's is under control and your body's not busy attacking your baby. If the results are less than ideal, you may have to have more visits....WITH YOUR GYNAE
My regular gynae had me take a urine test just to make sure my protein levels are alright, but the new gynae I saw in Indonesia (just because of the bleeding) simply gave me an ultrasound and that's it. I actually got a heartbeat during the first visit at 6 weeks! At 6 weeks, it's just a blob, but at 8 weeks, it looks vaguely t-rex like. My regular gynae agreed I should continue the progesterone suppositories all the way until 12 weeks, but she lowered the dosage and I didn't need any more progesterone shots.

Labels: Sjögren's & Pregnancy FRIDAY, DECEMBER 14, 2018 SJÖGREN'S & PREGNANCY - PART 3: WHAT SHOULD I CONSIDER BEFOREGETTING PREGNANT
So you're thinking about getting pregnant. Congrats! It's an excitingtime!
In my last post, I've talked about the Sjögren's risks, but please, please, please don't think that pregnancy is completely out of the question for you. There are plenty of healthy babies born to women with Sjögren's, so please don't worry too much. Still, there's some things to consider.TALK TO YOUR DOCTOR
Definitely talk to your doctor first about your pregnancy plans. Personally for me, I decided to wait until I got my flare up under control before I tried getting pregnant, but if waiting is not possible for you, definitely talk to your doctor about the risks. CHECK YOUR INSURANCE Getting maternity coverage from insurance companies if you don't have it before you're diagnosed is nearly impossible. I'm fortunate I'm already covered, because I looked around and most companies refuse to cover a Sjögren's pregnancy or will only do so in the 3rd trimester, after you've submitted all the test results confirming that the pregnancy is fine. Given the increased amount of visits to doctors you'll need, a Sjögren's pregnancy does get expensive. I'm currently at 21 weeks and based in Singapore, and I've spent about $6,000 so far. I'm expecting to spend more since I will be visiting doctors even more frequently now that I'm in my 2nd trimester and need more checks. CAREER CONSIDERATIONS I could just have very bad luck, but I've talked to other women were pregnant with Sjögren's as well, and it _is_ very exhausting. The first pregnancy symptom I got was feeling so tired, I couldn't stay up in the afternoons and I thought I was having a bad Sjögren's flare up. I actually take 2-8h afternoon naps daily on top of my regular sleep schedule ever since I got pregnant. I'm fortunate I could stop working, but if you can't afford to slow down your career, it may bereally tough.
Also, thanks to the Sjögren's risks, you'll be going to the doctor very frequently. It's also recommended you go for a checkup once every 2 weeks instead of once a month in the 2nd trimester. It could be challenging scheduling all your medical appointments in if you have ahectic career.
STOCK UP ON ASPIRIN
Your doctor will probably tell you to start taking aspirin daily as soon as you find out your pregnant to reduce the risk of blood clots. Definitely stock up! START TAKING FOLIC ACID It's great to start taking folic acid even when you're just trying. Posted by WorkingWithMonolidsat 9:12 AM

Labels: Sjögren's & Pregnancy SJÖGREN'S & PREGNANCY - PART 2: WHAT ARE THE RISKS?So in part 1
,
I mentioned Sjögren's pregnancies are riskier pregnancies. So...whatare the risks?
First of all, if you've read up on the risks of Sjögren's pregnancies like me, I'm sure you went through the same phase as me where I was freaking the eff out. All my doctors have assured me that plenty of healthy babies are born to women with Sjögren's though, so please don't stress yourself out too much. So, the most serious risk of a Sjögren's pregnancy is... HEART DEFECT IN THE BABY Also known as congenital heart block (CHB). I don't want to put a number on how high this risk is, because I have no medical training and reading up on the literature available online, the rate goes from _"oh that's no big deal"_ to _"holy crap I'm F***ED"_. I suggest talking to your doctor about this, but my doctor is personally very confident that with frequent check ups and early detection. this is nothing to worry about.NEONATAL LUPUS RASH
The baby may be born with a lupus rash. Again, talk to your doctor. My doctor reassured me that this doesn't mean the baby has lupus and all the symptoms usually go away after a few months with no lastingdamage.
BLOOD CLOTS
Sjögren's does make you more prone to blood clots, and unfortunately that also increased the risk of a miscarriage. Your doctor is likely to put you on a daily dose of aspirin to minimize this risk, so it's not as scary as it sounds. HIGHER RISK OF MISCARRIAGE There is a study that found that there's a higher risk of miscarriage in Sjögren's pregnancies, but even the study notes that the women with Sjögren's in their study group tend to be older, so it could be an age factor as well.

Labels: Sjögren's & Pregnancy THURSDAY, DECEMBER 13, 2018 SJÖGREN'S & PREGNANCY - PART 1: WHAT'S SJÖGREN'S? Yes, this isn't part of my usual beauty posts, but I'm currently pregnant & suffering from Sjögren's and I thought I should document my experience because sometimes, reading up online on Sjögren's pregnancies can be scary. No two pregnancies are the same, and everyone's symptoms may present in different ways, so this is just my personal experience and yours may not be the same.First of all....
WHAT IS SJÖGREN'S?
It's basically a type of autoimmune that basically just means that my immune system tends to attack everything producing liquids in my bodyand dehydrating me.
HOW DO YOU EXPERIENCE SJÖGREN'S? So, I grew up with it and only found out when I took a detailed health exam along with my husband because he never took one ever in his life. The exam included a test of my liver functions, and they found a possible autoimmune reaction and told me to get further tests. I honestly thought it was a false positive because I grew up with it, so I guess I never felt like anything was wrong with me. Only after I tested positive, a lot of things clicked and I realized there's some stuff about me that was "weird". So here's the symptoms I have... * "MEDICAL BAD LUCK" > I'm prone to all the medical worst case scenarios. I caught mumps > after my MMR vaccination, and caught rubella years later as an > adult. I caught typhoid fever from one exposure to someone with > typhoid. I've gotten amoebic dysentery. I'm prone to infections & > can catch a cold from a baby. A flu can morph into a serious sinus > or ear infection that requires specialist care. * SLOW RECOVERY FROM ILLNESSES > Typically, it takes me weeks to months to recover from the flu. The > longest it took me to recover from a flu was 6 months. * CHRONIC EXHAUSTION > I used to fall asleep everywhere. I could even fall asleep standing > up in a club. Never thought something was wrong though, I just > thought that I was lame and get tired easily. * CHRONIC CONSTIPATION > Up until I was 24, I thought it was normal to poop only once every > 4-5 days. I mean, no one ever goes up to you going, "Hey, how often > do _you_ poop?" So I never knew it was weird. I only found out this > was not normal when my friend was freaking out over her baby not > pooping that day. I asked her, "Do babies poop every day?" > She went, "Er, _people_ poop everyday. How often do you poop?" > She told me to go to a doctor ASAP when I told her, so I was given > magnesium, digestive enzymes, probiotics & HCL supplements. I > still only poop once every 1-2 days, but that's way better than> usual.
* SWOLLEN SALIVA GLANDS > I've gotten really bad swollen saliva glands since I was a kid. > They're typically treated with antibiotics or in really bad cases, > the doctor has to make a small incision to relieve the swelling. * CHRONIC MUSCLE PAIN > I never even realized I had chronic muscle pain until I got > medicated and realized my shoulders, neck and back feels so light> and amazing.
* DRY MOUTH
> When my doctor asked me if I had dry mouth, I said no because I > genuinely believed I didn't have it. Turns out I did. I only found > out a few months ago (2 years after my diagnosis) that normal people > didn't need to drink water to help them swallow their food. Again, > it's one of those things you don't think of asking because it seems > normal when you've always done it all your life. I mean, I know I > drink more water than most people, but I've always thought it was a > preference thing. And I assumed that's why you're served drinks with > your food: to help you swallow it.* DRY SKIN
> Even though my skin is so oily, I can see it's dehydrated from > within and it often gets to the point where my lips and the sides of > my nose will crack and split. My skincare routine is basically that > of a 40 year old's. I've always had to use body butter on my legs, > because just using body lotion gives me crocodile skin.* LOADS OF CAVITIES
> Sadly, I'm very cavity prone. I always thought it was because of my > love for desserts though. Maybe this would sound annoyingly chirpy, but honestly, I thought my diagnosis was a bit of a relief, because I've always thought I was just "weak". I kept thinking I was doing something wrong, so my diet became healthier than most people and I still blamed myself whenever I got sick because I assumed it's because I don't exercise or ate too much desserts. Sure, my health check results usually found that I have very a healthy BMI, low blood sugar, low blood pressure, and very low cholesterol, and that should tell me I'm doing something right, but I still kept blaming myself. The most frustrating thing is when people unhealthier than me still tell me there must be something I'm doing wrong to deserve all my "medical bad luck". At least now I know it'snot my fault.
Once I got medicated, I also ended up with so much energy and felt so light. For the first time in my life, I didn't have my chronic muscle aches and because I was so used to them, it feels like I'm practically bouncing. Life got amazing. WHAT MEDICATION ARE YOU ON? I'm on 1 tablet of Plaquenil daily. It used to be 2, but luckily I've gotten my stress levels managed and I can move it down to 1. I'm very lucky my Sjögren's is mild enough that I don't need steroids. I suspect I have Sjögren's. What do I do? Go to a specialist and get tested. Just warning you, the blood test requires 8 vials of blood, so if you have low blood pressure like me, you may want to bring someone with you. I was really dizzy afterwards. I'VE BEEN DIAGNOSED WITH SJÖGREN'S. NOW WHAT? Talk to a specialist! Personally for me, if I have to have an autoimmune, Sjögren's is mild enough that it's tolerable. Your doctor will prescribe the right medication and it may take a while to figure out the right amount. Here are some things that I personally feel is important to talk to your specialist about once you've been diagnosedwith Sjögren's:
> SUPPLEMENTS YOU'RE TAKING > Some supplements react badly with autoimmunes. I was taking > colostrum supplements, which is really useful for boosting your > immune system, but unfortunately, Sjögren's gets worse with a > boosted immune system. I was also taking these Japanese collagen > drinks that tastes soooooo good...but turns out some people with > autoimmunes have bad reactions to collagen supplements, so I had to > stop drinking that just to be safe.> PREGNANCY PLANS
> Sjögren's pregnancies are riskier than normal pregnancies, so > definitely let your doctor know what your plans are! Posted by WorkingWithMonolidsat 7:58 AM

Labels: Sjögren's & Pregnancy FRIDAY, JUNE 1, 2018 REVIEW & SWATCHES: FOCALLURE EVERCHANGING PALETTE (FOCALLURE PART2/11)
Recently, I hauled hard from Focallure. I've been resisting buying this brand because I don't trust it, but it's getting really popular in Indonesia thanks to several sponsored videos from big beauty bloggers, so I thought I should buy their products and give my honest review. I bought my Focallure products straight from the official Focallure store on Aliexpress. This is part 2 of my 11 part review.Video review here:
_________________
EVERCHANGING PALETTE Ok, I admit this palette has gorgeous colours. The duochromes are a dream. Here's the swatches: It's also really cheap at $11.28. I bought these from the official Focallure store on Aliexpress, which has perpetual sales and sometimes list 2 different prices for the same item, so the price may havechanged.
But here's why I can't recommend this palette: * The ingredients lists are sketchy This shares the same ingredient list as the loose pigment in Blue Brown & the 9 Colors Eyeshadow Palette in 05. Completely identical, down to the colourants. 3 different products with different colour schemes have the same identical list of colourants. One single loose pigment colour supposedly contains ALL the colours that exist in a 14 & 9 colour palette. That's right. It does not say "May Contain", which is the common thing brands do when they don't want to print different ingredients lists for different shades within the same collection. It listed all of the colourants in, which makes me think that either they don't understand what ingredient lists are, can't give a fuck about creating proper ingredient lists, or both. To be fair, I haven't had any adverse reactions to this palette yet, but I'm still not sure if I'd like to push my luck. * The palette's description at the back is a mess It says Everchanging at the front of the box, but the back listed the palette as the Tropical Vacation palette. There's also a glaring typo where "eyeshadow" is spelled as "eyeshaodw". I know this is a minor thing, but I feel like if the brand can't give a fuck about checking things like typos, I don't know what else they don't give a fuckabout.
* Eyeshadows are ABH Subculture level of crumbly Like the Twilight palette, this is just a mess of kickback and fallout.
* The darker matte shades are terrible Mystery is especially streaky and it took a lot of praying to the eyeshadow gods to make it work in this tutorial: WOULD I BUY THIS AGAIN? Nope. I feel like a 5 year old would put more care into creating thispalette.

REVIEW & SWATCHES: FOCALLURE TWILIGHT PALETTE (FOCALLURE PART 1/11) Recently, I hauled hard from Focallure. I've been resisting buying this brand because I don't trust it, but it's getting really popular in Indonesia thanks to several sponsored videos from big beauty bloggers, so I thought I should buy their products and give my honest review. I bought my Focallure products straight from the official Focallure store on Aliexpress. This is part 1 of my 11 part review.Video review here:
_________________
TWILIGHT PALETTE
This pallete's price ranges on their official site. Officially, it's $15.99, but I got it for $7.36 on sale and as I'm typing this, it's on sale again for $10.71. So yeah, it's pretty cheap for a palette of 18 shades, but is it worth it though? So here are swatches of the colours: This eyeshadows in this palette are really, really soft. Especially the shimmers. There was just loads of fallout & crumbling. As in ABH Subculture level of crumbling. I think this could be worse, but I didn't get the Subculture palette after all the terrible reviews soI'm not sure.
I've never had a pressed palette pigment be this crumbly before. I feel like I'm sharting fairy dust around whenever my brush hits the shadow. I opened the palette on my bed while trying to write down the shade names in the swatch picture, and I shimmer bombed my husband. Our entire bed is covered in eyeshadow. I think the eyeshadows would be better placed in secure containers and labelled as loose pigments instead. When I worked with this, I have to work the way I would with loose powder eyeshadows. I love working with loose powder eyeshadow, and there's a couple of palettes that have plenty of kickback but I love anyway (Absolute New York's Icon palette, Makeover's Smoky palette) but this is way worse than anything I've ever encountered. After just 1 swatch session, the palette looked grimy and dirty, like a ravaged drugstore tester palette after BlackFriday.
The mattes aren't as crumbly, but as you can see from the swatches, you definitely need primer for these. While they're ok blended in softly with a fluffy blending brush when I was applying them, it's slightly harder getting an even layer when you're using a flat brush trying to get a pigmented, opaque layer. The darker colours were especially painful to work with and just swatching them was a frustrating ordeal that made me nearly scream, "SCREW. THIS." while throwing the palette across the room, so many times. There were also a lot of colours that are too similar too each other, that you can barely tell the difference once they're on your eyes. These are the colours that are close too each other, that you they turn into the same shade with some blending, or you could easily interchange the colours without anyone noticing: > NAKED & CAMELNaked is white, Camel has a slight yellow tinge. > TIRAMISU & ROSE VALETiramisu is Rose Vale with a slight brown> tinge.
> MAGIC & CHILI (SIC)Magic is a warm toned version of Chili, but both > look almost identical over primer. Chili performs worse over primer> though.
> NEED FIRE & SUNRISEShould've swatched this side by side in the same > row, because any difference you see in the swatches is due to > lighting. In real life, I can barely tell them apart. > PARTY, COPPER ROSE & SUMMONThe only difference is the duochrome > sheen. Summon & Party are basically Copper Rose with a blue > duochrome & bigger red shimmer respectively. You can tell them apart > when you pack them on hard with your fingers, but once you're using > brushes or blending them out, they're the same shade. I think they're a waste and one of them should be replaced with a different colour, so it feels like I'm actually getting 18 shadesinstead of just 12.
WOULD I BUY THIS AGAIN? Nope. It's a waste of space given how there's more like 12 colours instead of 18, and the mattes are terrible. Posted by WorkingWithMonolidsat 9:24 PM

SATURDAY, MAY 26, 2018 REVIEW: IUNIK PEELING GEL & TONERS I recently got contacted by the iUNIK team and they asked me if I'd like to try 3 of their products and of course I said yes, since I'm in perpetual search for my next holy grail skincare item. Most of their products contain ferments, which break me out, so I settled on the 3 products that don't contain ferments: Vitamin Hyaluronic AcidVitalizing Toner
, Tea
Tree Relief Toner, & Lime Moisture Mild Peeling Gel. This is my usual skincare routine (I've added Vitabrid's Dual Serum to the routine since then): Here are the items I replaced with the iUNIK products: * All Hada Labo serums* CosRX BHA toner
* Holika Holika Lazy & Easy Smooth Egg Peeling Gel Brief background on my skin, I'm very breakout prone and often combating terrible cystic acne. I have a really oily t-zone while being very dehydrated from within, and I'm also aging. Basically, myskin hates me.
For those of you who prefer watching to reading, here's the videoreview:
LIME MOISTURE MILD PEELING GEL > _Ingredients: Water, Glycerin, Steartrimonium Methosulfate, > Acrylates/C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate Crosspolymer, Butylene Glycol, > 1,2-Hexanediol, Citrus Aurantifolia (Lime) Fruit Extract, Vitis > Vinifera (Grape) Fruit Extract, Citrus Aurantium Dulcis (Orange) > Fruit Extract, Pyrus Malus (Apple) Fruit Extract, Citrus Limon > (Lemon) Fruit Extract, Caprylyl Glycol,Allantoin, Hydrolyzed > Collagen, Polyglyceryl-4 Caprate, Centella Asiatica Extract, > Polygonum Cuspidatum Root Extract, Scutellaria Baicalensis Root > Extract, Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract, Glycyrrhiza Glabra > (Licorice) Root Extract, Chamomilla Recutita(Matricaria) Flower > Extract, Rosmarinus Officinalis (Rosemary) Leaf Extract, > Ethylhexylglycerin, Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate, Lavandula > Angustifolia (Lavender) Oil, Pentylene Glycol , Aspalathus Linearis> Extract_
> PRICE: $12.99
This peeling gel is meant to be used right after you wash your face, on a dry face. Just slather this all over your face, wait 10 seconds, then start rubbing and watch all the dead skin rub off. I've been using peeling gels for several years now, and I credit them for getting rid of the frequent whiteheads I used to get. This is definitely the harshest peeling gel I've ever tried. I got that squeaky clean feel on my face after I used this, and that feeling scares me since it usually means that whatever I'm using is way too harsh on my face. I have to wash my face multiple times before I stop feeling things peeling off my face. It doesn't hurt me, but it definitely scared me. I used this only 3x over 3 weeks, because I felt it was far too harsh. I'm now using it for my body instead of my face instead. If your face isn't as delicate as mine, maybe this is a product you'll like, but my face is sensitive so it's not for me. This product contains a lot of citrus extracts, which increases your photosensitivity, so be sure to wear sunscreen religiously and avoid excessive sun exposure if you're using this. TEA TREE RELIEF TONER > _Ingredients: Melaleuca Alternifolia (Tea Tree) Leaf Water, > Centella Asiatica Leaf Water, Butylene Glycol, Niacinamide, > Glycerin, Water, 1,2-Hexanediol, Centella Asiatica Extract,Betaine, > Sodium Hyaluronate, Polyglyceryl-4 Caprate, Caprylyl Glycol, > Portulaca Oleracea Extract, Brassica Oleracea Italica (Broccoli) > Extract, Medicago Sativa (Alfalfa) Extract, Brassica Oleracea > Capitata (Cabbage) Leaf Extract, Triticum Vulgare (Wheat) Germ > Extract, Brassica Campestris (Rapeseed) Extract, Raphanus Sativus > (Radish) Seed Extract, Allantoin, Ethylhexylglycerin, Dipotassium > Glycyrrhizate, Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Powder, Ormenis Multicaulis > Oil, Pentylene Glycol, Aspalathus Linearis Extract, Glycyrrhiza > Glabra (Licorice) Root Extract_> PRICE: $21.99
This is the first step after cleansing for me. I apply it to a cotton pad, and then wipe my entire face with it. I do think the ingredients are great, but I think it wasn't a good idea replacing CosRX's BHA with this. Thanks to my lack of BHA, I do notice that I ended up with way more blackheads and my pores seem to have gotten larger. I think this product is probably good, but I'm not sure how to squeeze it into my routine, especially since I really need CosRX's BHA. I'm thinking I'll just use it after I pop my pimples because it does contain a lot of soothing ingredients. VITAMIN HYALURONIC ACID VITALIZING TONER > _Ingredients: _Sodium Hyaluronate, Water, Hippophae Rhamnoides > Fruit Extract, Glycerin, Butylene Glycol, Niacinamide, > 1,2-Hexanediol, Trehalose, Caprylyl Glycol, Thuja Orientalis Leaf > Extract, Zanthoxylum Schinifolium Leaf Extract, Polygonum Cuspidatum > Root, Ethylhexylglycerin, Hydroxyethylcellulose, Pentylene Glycol, > Aspalathus Linearis Extract, Glycyrrhiza Glabra (Licorice) Root> Extract
> PRICE: $21.99
This product made me realize how AMAZING Sulwhasoo's First Care Activating Serum is. Without the First Care Activating Serum, this just doesn't work with the Tea Tree Relief Toner. At first, I tried applying this right after I've wiped my face down with the Tea Tree Relief Toner, patting it in like I would with any other toner. What happened was that it won't get aborbed, and created this sticky, foamy white stuff instead. I thought at first that I didn't wash my face wash off properly and that's where the foam was coming from, but after this consistently happened 3x in a row, I decided to try adding my Sulwhasoo First Care Activating Serum back into my routine. Lo and behold, the white foam disappeared. Turns out, I need the First Care Activating Serum to get my skin to absorb this. This product is also extremely sticky, even with the First Care Activating Serum. The serum helps a lot though. If you watched my video, you can see how much the First Care Activating Serum reduces the stickiness at the 08:06 mark . I applied the First Care Activating Serum to half my face only, and you can see that the tissue on that half doesn't get stuck that long, compared to the tissue on the half without the serum. So yeah, I guess I'm going back to my Hada Labo hyaluronic acid serums. They're more effectively absorbed by my skin AND cheaper as well. This iUNIK serum is $21.99 for 200 ml, while my 170ml bottle of Hada Labo costs about $14-17 depending on which country I buy it from. That makes it about $17-20 for 200ml.
