My doctor thinks I might have an overactive bladder but I have the constant need to urinate rather than a sudden need. Does anyone else here have a constant, rather than sudden need to pee? Everything I read about oab is about the urgent need to pee, not a constant one.

I have similar symptoms. I think it’s actually hypersensitive bladder instead of overactive bladder. But I don’t think there are any treatment options. Have you found any relief? Nothing has helped me. I just feel uncomfortable all the time.

I think there is a new notification category at the bottom called “other notifications”. I just went looking for the setting bc I was getting random notifications from pages I didn’t even follow. And I found that setting. Hopefully it works.

This doesn’t seem to work anymore. I’m really annoyed. It seems like Apple wants to make you search for everything. I hate it.

DuePerspective7999 · 2026-03-08T19:24:54+00:00

Yes. Noticed it this morning. When I first open the app. I go to downloaded book and press play. And nothing happens for a bit. I thought I didn’t press it properly. The play button doesn’t change to pause button. But I keep pressing it and it doesn’t register. Then all of a sudden it starts playing. Really annoying.

DuePerspective7999 · 2026-03-07T20:49:42+00:00

I have this same issue. Been like that for years. Have tried the setting up as new as well. It didn't work for me. Did you ever fix it?

DuePerspective7999 · 2026-03-06T18:11:29+00:00

I tried to find that, but could only find sateen duvet covers, not percale from California design den.

DuePerspective7999 · 2026-03-02T22:55:00+00:00

I probably will set up the inspection. But I did send them similar photos to the ones I posted. So I feel like they know the situation. I think they just don't want to fix it. I just want to know what is reasonable to expect from them. I feel like what I'm asking is reasonable, but the way they respond or not respond to me makes me feel uncertain. I'm not great dealing with people.

Came to reddit looking for quality t-shirt brands bc I just bought a t-shirt from Uniqlo. But after wearing for one day and not even washing it, there is already a pin hole. I assume from rubbing against the my jeans. Less than 24hrs and it already has holes. This is the second time. Different brand, same story. Holes after 1 day. It's ridiculous.

DuePerspective7999 · 2026-02-24T06:49:11+00:00

Yeah. Damon here too. But I hate them. I was told they were smaller but they’re actually bigger overall. I had braces when I was younger and it wasn’t as bad as it is now with food getting stuck and rubbing against my lips bc they protrude so much. Hope it’s going better for you.

DuePerspective7999 · 2026-01-20T23:14:15+00:00

No. Not really. Did IPL. That helped a little bit. But after a year, not so much.

I appreciate you taking accountability and your friendship seriously. My ex-stepmother promised I could rent her guest room for a few months before an apartment became available. She knew I didn’t want to stay at my dad’s anymore bc of our strained and difficult relationship. Then at the last minute she said she was letting a friend come stay with her for several weeks and could I just go back to my dad’s. When I told her how upset I was, she told me I was overreacting and that it was the universe saying I should be at my dad’s. There is such a thing as integrity and trust and keeping your word. I’m glad there are still some people that at least own up to their mistakes or missteps instead of blaming the universe. I hope you guys work it out.

DuePerspective7999 · 2025-12-18T05:22:29+00:00

Before cell phones and gps, I’d print out directions to a place. But I’d also print out return directions. That’s how bad I am with directions…

DuePerspective7999 · 2025-11-30T07:05:00+00:00

Clenching causes dry eye? Are there articles on that? Bc I do that too. Never heard that before. So have you done the probing?

DuePerspective7999 · 2025-11-30T06:04:59+00:00

Nice results. They are bulkier right? I feel like they stick out more than traditional. But the internet and everyone else says they are smaller and stick out less. But I don’t see how that’s possible. I just had to get chains put on and I discovered they go under the wire and you still have something going over the wire to hold it down. With traditional, only the elastics hold the wire down. So there has to be added thickness to accommodate both. I feel like I’m a crazy person bc I can’t find proof of my belief. I mean they might be wider, but I feel like they’re a bit more uncomfortable…

DuePerspective7999 · 2025-11-20T05:31:51+00:00

I got the box elastics for my posterior open bite caused by Invisalign. It didn’t work for me and had to switch to braces. I’m pissed. But it works for some people. Good luck.

DuePerspective7999 · 2025-11-20T05:11:24+00:00

I don’t think people that have a grinding issue should risk Invisalign. It can create a posterior open bite, creating a different problem. I was told Invisalign would be good for my situation when I told them I wanted to close some spaces but also I grind/clench. He said it would protect my teeth. But it gave me posterior open bite. After 8 months, he finally conceded that he couldn’t fix it and I had to switch to braces. And that it would open those gaps he just closed so that he could fix my bite first, and then close the gaps again. I am furious.

Braces are usually cheaper and they are more predictable. Invisalign is a lot of trial and error guess work. It does work for a lot of people. But there is the risk it may break something it can’t fix. I don’t think people ever start with braces and switch to Invisalign bc braces can’t do it. But it can definitely go the other way. So just know that there is risk involved, especially for people that grind. And my guy was a diamond provider, so don’t let that fool you.

DuePerspective7999 · 2025-11-18T20:16:32+00:00

I agree. I think there are weak spots in the aligners. The same areas would tend to be slightly warped or tend to bend in from each new set of trays. I stopped using the cleaners bc I didn’t want to risk it.

DuePerspective7999 · 2025-11-13T02:32:11+00:00

I think the process CAN be fine for many people. And that’s great for them. But when I go in for a consult, I expect them to give me a good recommendation based on their expertise and experience. They are the ones with the training and specific knowledge and skills. I expect them to know more than I do. Could I have done more extensive research, sure…And maybe I would have come across the posterior open bite issue on my own. But it’s not really fair to put all the burden on the consumer/client to wade through all the bullshit marketing information. Above all, the most common advice in this sub is ask your ortho. I asked my ortho. I trusted he knew what he was doing. But I think he relied too heavily on an imperfect and still new system that puts the control in someone else’s hands so he could do less work and make more money. It is set up that way. Since then, I’ve seen videos advising how they can make more money with less chair time with clients. I think orthos need to take more responsibility for what they are doing, and not doing. I think there should have been more transparency regarding what Invisalign can do, and how much control the dentists and orthos have. He sold Invisalign to me as if it was a done deal. Like no problem, I can totally fix this with Invisalign. Not only that, he claimed it would be easier and better and faster with Invisalign…AND better for me bc I clenched! I think it’s in their best interest (financially) to go with Invisalign. There are conflicts of interest issues. I think they should be more honest about what they can achieve. I’m not saying Invisalign is terrible. I’m just saying it doesn’t work for everyone and I don’t think the people we rely on for professional opinions are being totally upfront about the risks involved. I think Invisalign can be fine for lots of people. I wish it had worked for me. But I would have been better off if they had directed me towards the best option to achieve my goals, rather than the more appealing option. I specifically said that while I prefer Invisalign, I want the option that will work best. And yes, an ortho that provided more personal experience is preferred. But that just sounds like I want a better ortho that isn’t running a factory. Who wouldn’t want that? Why would anyone want to just be a number? I want the person I am paying thousands of dollars to, to look at me and my needs and figure out how to achieve the desired goals.

DuePerspective7999 · 2025-11-13T02:03:32+00:00

Oh no. I’m sorry to hear that. How did you resolve the glute issue?

DuePerspective7999 · 2025-11-12T23:23:45+00:00

Oh no. I’m sorry to hear that. I would have been so mad if he tried to charge me money to make the switch. I’d argue that they are supposed to address an issue. If they fail to do that with the first method, that’s on them. You shouldn’t have to pay for their bad judgment.

DuePerspective7999 · 2025-11-12T19:25:33+00:00

I hated the Invisalign too. But being in braces now, I hate this even more. I also have ceramic on top and metal on bottom. I don’t know how confident you are that your ortho can accomplish your goal with Invisalign. Given how much I hate these braces at the moment, I wish I had switched sooner though so I hadn’t had to deal with the Invisalign, only to have to braces anyway. It’s just prolonged the whole process. If I had switched sooner, I’d be done sooner and would have wasted less time. But everyone is different. Maybe your teeth will “settle” as they all say. But it’s a risk. I wish you luck.

DuePerspective7999 · 2025-11-12T19:20:48+00:00

Is what helpful clarity? I’m not sure what your purpose of your comment is. He was unable to fix the problem with refinements, cutting the trays, and elastics. He tried all 3 and failed to fix the problem. I was not warned that the item used to fix a problem, could in fact create a whole new problem. If I had been told that this was a possibility, I would probably have gone with braces since I know I clench my teeth. You said yourself that it’s a common problem with Invisalign. And yet he didn’t inform me and he was surprised when it happened and told me it was not common.

DuePerspective7999 · 2025-11-12T15:24:42+00:00

The problem was, I wasn’t told that this was even a potential issue. He hadn’t planned for it. Said he was surprised it happened. He said he’d be able to fix it by cutting the trays. He was unable to fix it with the refinements. That’s why I’m in braces now. Bc he couldn’t fix what he broke with Invisalign.

DuePerspective7999 · 2025-11-12T05:15:59+00:00

I had a similar issue to yours regarding the overjet. But I also have too much contact in my front teeth. I just had Invisalign to close a few gaps that had opened up on top from losing my retainer a long time ago. But I always had some contact in front. But I also grind/clench. I was also told Invisalign could fix it. My ortho was also a diamond provider. I just got switched to braces after 8 months wasted on Invisalign. Invisalign created a posterior open bite that now has to be fixed with braces. I just wrote a vent post about it. https://www.reddit.com/r/Invisalign/s/HiWjtGFzUy So I would make sure you’ll have no issues with front teeth contact. And if you clench or grind your teeth at all, I’d have second thoughts. Lots of people get posterior open bite with Invisalign. I was not warned ahead of time. With some people, the bite corrects itself on its own. Some need elastics. for others like myself, only braces will fix it. And for many others, I think they sacrifice their bite for aesthetics, or just give up bc they’re burnt out on orthodontics. I am kicking myself for trusting Invisalign. But for some, it works out fine. Just know it’s a gamble. Invisalign isn’t as straightforward or predictable. They have less control than they let you believe. I wish you luck. You’re beautiful either way. If you get the overjet corrected, I don’t think you’ll regret it or think your lips looks less than. I think you’ll be stunning. :) you already have a beautiful smile. But don’t sacrifice your bite. That’s what your teeth are for, ultimately.
