CVG is a wrinkled scalp. Is there anyone with cvg that got smp? I'd love to see the results.
I recently got a shorter hair cut then noticed I had some ridges on the back of my head. I ended up googling it and found out its called cutis verticis gyrata. Mines not that bad right now, but I hope it doesnt get worse in the future. I looked into it some more and apparently there's some correleation between it and aas use.
Have any one else notice they developed this over time after using aas? I'm pretty sure I didn't have this a few years ago. It possibles it's just coincidence. I need to do some more reading on it.

I take probiotics, cranberry pills with 36 PAC, d-mannose, I practice all the right hygiene tips. I’ve been prescribed antibiotics 6 times (nitrofurantoin 3 times, ciprofloxacin, septra, fosfomycin).
Almost every time I take a urine test, the culture comes back negative. But every single time it’s positive for blood and leukocytes. I’ve seen 8 doctors total, all of them giving me the same advice - which I’ve already been doing.
I asked my doctor for a ureaplasma requisition but they said no on account of “not knowing what it was” so I’ll be seeing another doctor next week.
Do you have any recommendations? If the test comes back negative I don’t know what my next step should be.
How much “jatah cuti” or Paid Time Off do you get per year? And what job do you do to get that much time off each year? I’m just curious how much my job’s paid time off compare to others 🤔
For me I accumulate 1.5 days for every month that I work in my company. So after 12 months I’d get 18 days PTO.
Edit: note that I’m in a western country so I don’t get the week-long lebaran and new-year breaks 😅
Hi all! I've followed the folks at liveutifree.com for quite awhile now, and I they have been so incredibly helpful. They are a group of people that provide information on what chronic and recurrent UTI's are and they do tons of great interviews with doctors they post on YouTube. It's such a fantastic place to keep up with what's new in the field. They are how I finally found a CUTI informed doctor to work with and I have made tremendous progress. I seriously owe my sanity to the folks at liveutifree.com and if you haven't looked at their website and signed up for their newsletter, stop everything and do it!
My question is this - they posted a video recently interviewing Dr. Philippe Zimmern, one of the foremost experts on bladder fulguration for imbedded UTIs - I'm wondering if anyone has seen him as a patient or has this procedure done by any other doctor? If so - what's your experience and what did it cost?
The hospital he's out of doesn't take my insurance so it'd be cash pay, but I'm having trouble getting even a price range. Also just wondering people's general experience/feedback. Thanks!
