So sorry to hear this has been going on. Have you been to your doctor?

About 4 years ago I had a severe allergic reaction after getting my beard dyed. It took about 3 months for the side effects to subside and I suffered badly. When I told my doctor about it she asked why I didn't come in and tell her about it. She said I suffered needlessly because she could have treated it.

I hope you feel better soon.

Thank you :)
Yea, I have been to my doctor. The steroids have really helped. Due to all of the symptoms I had my doctor did blood work. I am waiting on blood work results, and they should get it tomorrow. I think I am having a combination of stress, sinus issues, dehydrated, and allergic reaction. I just hope I haven’t developed an allergy to pg or Vg... :( i cannot wait to be better :) I keep reaching for my vape! Lol

    I wish I could, but that experience made me embrace my white beard. The hair on my head is naturally all brown. My beard looked nice after the dye job, but my face started melting literally 5 minutes later... It leaked clear fluid for months, every part of my body itched, and I couldn't sleep at all. Lost about 30lbs by taking beard dye lol.

    That sounds horrible :( I feel for you!
    That had to have been so tough and frustrating.

    Hey, I am trying something I mixed up a need a bit of advice. Something is just a bit off about this recipe. I'm thinking it might the WF Boysenberry Raspberry. Perhaps it does not mix as well with creams/vanillas? Anyways, here is the mix...any advice appreciated.

    I’ve never had a problem with the Boysenberry/Raspberry and I’ve mixed with it quite a bit.

    It looks like it should be good.. Your Angel Food and Tahitian should work as a good base... then the fruits together should give you the notes you are looking to have on top. When it comes to those fruits I have no experience... perhaps at worst adjustments as you go along. I do like your base though. I don't know about the buttercream though... not saying you are on the wrong track, but if the initial mix seemed off I would subtract that.

    I’m not having a good day. I dumped the wrong mix so now I have to remix that.
    Bummer. I almost pulled a total brain fart myself. Went to mix 100 ml of unflavored base and forgot I am now using 100 mg nic (up until now, I used 48 mg nic) Would have ended up being 25 mg instead of 12 mg.
    BTW, the newer nic is from Heartland and just opened it today. It was ever so slightly yellow (but also it's 8 months old... first in the freezer then several months in the fridge) I'm OK with that I guess. I didn't put in glass because it's just a 120 ml.

    I'd never used the buttercream before, so I kind of wanted to throw it in the mix. I'm honestly not sure what buttercream tastes like. I think I just saw that it was commonly used with Angel Cake so I added it.
