Hi Mandy! First of all I hope they figure out what's wrong so they can give u proper treatment soon! I'm in a similar situation, when I was in a car accident in 2013, they saw I have some abnormalities with my bone marrow, and my doctor thought it was Lupus but couldn't confirm. Then we thought it was fibromyalgia, and honestly I stopped going to doctors because I feel like nobody can help me. I don't wish this pain on anyone, so I really hope that u get your treatment soon! best wishes!
Thank you so much for sharing! It is just so frustrating (and scary!) to be in pain and to feel like you won't ever get the answers and help that you need. :heart:

I was curious about the setting powders! Do u have the ABH ones to compare?  i think her banana is too dry, was wondering about the KVD consistency. I wanted that dupe of the perricone foundation! but I have to huge deluxe samples of the real perricone one so i feel like it's a waste lol I definitely want someone else to try it and lmk how it goes xD everything xD - question for all of you my mac 217 and my sigma dupes for this same brush are all starting to get to the end of their life.  I was wondering if anyone has any suggestions of another brand that has good blending brushes too? I love trying out new things. :)
Yes the KVD ones are creamier if that makes sense haha! And I have deluxe samples of It too :lol:

Doctors don't know everything. Sometimes it takes real effort to find an actual caring doctor, who won't just find an easy out. I hope everyone dealing with medical issues finds a good doctor and gets proper care & treatment :heart:

Hey chicky. Hakuhodo's gonna be at IMATS NY this year so you can get to try em out there. I'm definitely going to pick up a few. Temptalia's website has a slew of reviews on them. I'm interested in the ones Vee suggested as well as the J004G and the J242G which are meant to be similar to MAC's 239.

I feel you on that one. I haven't been either. I tell them what is wrong with me and instead of sending me to a specialist or asking me more questions, they just say it is your weight.

Tonight, I feel like shit, worse than yesterday. But I am getting rest as much as I can.
Do you have netflix, Moonstruck was finally put back on, love that movie.
If you feel like watching something that has a little heart and sorta funny, watch Get Low.

Yeah, I wonder what makes all the skinny people sick since so many doctors out there think that being fat is what causes every single health problem? Btw, hope you feel better soon.

Everyone assumes I've been lying that I didn't have digestive issues until emergency surgery since I'm plus sized. No, I would've known that. And I eat super healthy.

I hope you feel better soon.

:haha: Geesh, I think I already asked what ABH was!!!!! ACK, it didn't stick in my brain LOL!!! I hope Shontay doesn't read this. Thanks hun!
:haha: :lol: I love the ABH contour and highlight powders, but not the palette she sells. I put my own together from her site. I don't have a single shade that she put in the one that's sold in Sephora. They don't suit my skintone much. Mandy, I hope you feel better soon.

It's absolutely ridiculous! People love to make assumptions about those of us who are larger, don't they?

Thanks mandy and I hope you get better soon too. I completely agree.

Exactly ladies. I eat right and do my best to exercise. Yea I enjoy eating out on a rare lazy night. But all my health issues aren't due to my weight and even if it is, I think I deserve to see a specialist. If I get thin, that isn't going to magically fix everything.

Absolutely.  The other one I loved was having to repeatedly prove I don't have sleep apnea. Not everyone has it. And plenty of small people suffer, too.
Ugh, that's obnoxious. I wish they would learn to address patients as individuals and not lump people together like that.

You absolutely deserve the right to see a specialist just as much as anyone else. Amen.

Exactly! Although I loved being able to state that I've been forced into having that test 4 times, all conclusively negative (insurance requires that before doing other things). That shut people up a bit.

Luckily, I'm on the mend. I got to eat something starting to resemble food today, which made me so ridiculously happy.

I was diagnosed with Sleep Apnea at a young age, it has since disappeared from my life. I had surgery. But when doctors would ask have you ever been diagnosed with any of these. I always check the box, when they start talking to me. They go "ok sleep apnea due to weight"....uh no my tonsils were so large, I had a pin sized hole for air to pass through.

Oh, people make assumptions of us wee ones too. I'm petite and if I had a dollar for everytime someone asked me if I don't eat or exclaimed about how small I am.... *sigh But I do agree that there is great disparity when it comes to health. People assume skinny people are so fit and healthy when the reality is, a lot of them are not. I used to do pole fitness with a young lady who was a bigger gal and she could throw herself around that pole and do things some of the smaller girls couldn't do. It's such a shame though that (some) doctors aren't trained to have a better bedside manner and explore all the possibilities before jumping to conclusions on something as serious as a diagnosis of a medical condition.

Sorry u have to go through that. People love to judge huh, even doctors :/ I had a really bad experience with the guy that was seeing me for my spine. He told me I had to be like super fit because otherwise my back would hurt, which is fine, I understand, but then he began talking smack about my body parts. Mind you I'm an average size 4-6 and he was telling me my arms this, my bum was too big.. dude o_O what... He was so rude. I hate doctors... I am on a constant journey to lose weight but damn son, u don't have to be so rude about it o_O not like I didn't notice my freshman 20.. (ok 30) didn't go anywhere and are haunting me lol
