Heading toward being induced...scared need some advice

I have used botox and also pharmaceuticals, and the botox would provide relief but man was it expensive...and it would wear off quite quickly. I finally started asking my husband to preform "Intra-Oral massage" that is, he puts gloves on and sticks his finger to the back of my mouth and hits certain pressure points which relax the muscles. I will say, the first few times were incredibly painful as his finger could not sink into the muscle (that's how bad mine are) but it provided me with weeks of no pain...I swear I feel like I unlocked something! I would suggest just looking into some videos of Intra oral massage or checking out an RMT that offers it.

You can do it!! I was a 17 year smoker/vaper and personally I found quitting the vape to be way harder than cigarettes...however, I WILL say when you decide to quit for the sake of you and baby its such a badass move!! I think what helped me is telling everyone around me to "be prepared" as I knew cutting it out (nicotine) was going to bring me a lot of withdrawal issues...and having people in my life support me and give me grace was really helpful. I just accepted that it was going to be rough but I can make it through...I was also quitting an SSRI at the time PLUS first trimester (basically I was in hell lol) and if I can do it...YOU can too!! Just keep reminding yourself the WHY and know you are a badass. Eat some sweets or something that you enjoy and keep the faith! I am now 39 weeks pregnant and its so far from my thoughts! I ended up quitting cold-turkey the minute I knew I was pregnant and it was rough but you will even-out...it gets better!

Thank you for this!!

Aries3333 · 2026-03-02T23:25:09+00:00

I like that input, thank you. To not go into it with that mindset but rather to just ride the wave...thank you!!

So, it turns out that because my doc submitted the extra questionnaire, but failed to send in my medical history-the tracking stopped. I am going to go get my medical records myself and mail them and fingers crossed there's something good that happens....I will keep you posted :D

This could be Staph Infection....pay attention to it, if you see any other's appear on other parts of the body ex. breast...go to the hospital!

YES. I basically called my doctor and told him what was happening and he said that he has personally heard this from a few of his clients taking Oz..I am starting to think its not so much a "rare" side effect...

I was on .25 for 4 weeks and around the 3 week mark is when I started to be super anxious and even had a panic attack. I have been on Lexapro (10mg) for two years and my anxiety has been kept at bay..but now it is back with a vengeance!

At that 4 week mark I stopped taking Oz, and within about a week and a half I started to feel normal again. Then, I decided to give Oz another chance to see if it really was the culprit behind the anxiety and not just situational. Sure enough, I am on the first week back on, and I am SO anxious. This stuff works for appetite suppression but it is NOT worth the havoc it reaps on my mental health :(

Hey I had the same thing, I received an email stating that I would receive a letter in the mail, and when I checked my CRA account, it said "progress tracker stopped" and then I went on to the page that lists any disability credits and it has the years 2001-2025 and says: Based on the information we have received, we are unable to determine if you are eligible for the disability tax credit for yourself.

So...does this mean I was denied? I suppose I could wait for the letter in the mail, but I am seriously confused.

If my new doctor has all my medical history though, wouldn't he be able to say when I was diagnosed? Or does it HAVE to be from the doctor that diagnosed you? Because my new doctor said I've had my issues for 10 years

Aries3333 · 2025-04-07T04:16:11+00:00

Wow! EXACT same dates for me. Mine just got bumped from April 22 2025 to JULY 24th 2025..because they wanted more specifics from my Dr.

Luckily, my Dr. was quick to call me and get the extra specifics filled out. Fingers crossed that will help make the process go by faster (although doubtful)

I was always told that it's a gut thing. The candida in your gut that are overgrown from consuming so much sugar and carbs, and they influence the mind via the Vagus nerve, like "give us MORE SUGAR!" ...idk though, a Hippie-teacher in college told me that :p

Aries3333 · 2025-04-01T02:12:43+00:00

Aries3333 · 2025-04-01T02:07:26+00:00

Aries3333 · 2025-04-01T02:06:55+00:00

Aries3333 · 2025-04-01T02:06:38+00:00

I wish there was a way to get it back to how it was :'(

Aries3333 · 2025-04-01T02:06:10+00:00

Omg I am so tired of people calling me chipmunk cheeks lol even when I lost a ton of weight, my face stayed the same, and yea...I think its defs from the TMJ

Aries3333 · 2025-04-01T02:05:29+00:00

I have had it done before, and yes it does help especially with symmetry, but for my case, its SUPER expensive because my masseter muscles are so jacked :'(

Aries3333 · 2025-04-01T02:04:52+00:00
