Hey all, I’m hoping you can help!

I live in a very sunny, high altitude place and need to wear sunscreen daily. I have never been able to find something that doesn’t feel greasy after a few minutes to hours of wear. It drives me crazy!

On top of that, I can’t find anything that works well under makeup without making it pill or settle into fine lines (I’m pushing 40).

Any recommendations? For under makeup, reapplication throughout the day, or just regular wear? I have tried so many different options, including the vaunted supergoop, with little luck. My skin is prone to dark spot formation (I am very pale white), break outs, oily spots, and all the fun signs of aging.

Thank you in advance!

I’m a huge KF fan and listen through their catalog… probably more often than is healthy.

I’m curious if this community is still active. If it is - tell me about your favorite episodes! Or Alex stories. Or Dan & Jordan being themselves and how absolutely delightful that is.

My favorites vary, but I’ve been listening to all the deposition episodes again, and who doesn’t love those?

It’s been nearly 15 years or maybe even more since I’ve started trying to find help for all my symptoms. Mostly I ended up feeling crazy… (“Am I gaslighting myself? I must be.”) So much happens internally that you can’t see, can’t share. You sound like you have the flu 49x a year. People don’t understand just how tired you are. What the aches and pains are like… so constant, drumming, sharp, dull, here today and over there tomorrow! Everything is worse because nothing makes sense and no one understands, even the ones that really, really try.

I don’t know how to feel about the diagnosis yet. I have a lot of reading to do, to start. Any favorite resources, books, educational materials (for myself or my partner?). I’d love to hear how others cope, too, if anyone feels like sharing. Feels like I’m the Queen of Random Self-Care Interventions and always doing something or another for my physical and mental health. Just hearing from others would be awesome; it’s so strange to find a word exists for all of these symptoms, all this time.
