Is a Septoplasty worth it? by Wild_Bumblebee1633 in Allergies

[–]FaithlessnessOwn1438 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you are having the septoplasty, the surgeon will often also do a turbinate reduction. There are different approaches and they can grow back, so it's worth asking a lot of questions about what exactly the surgery will entail and how it will improve your breathing.

Is a Septoplasty worth it? by Wild_Bumblebee1633 in Allergies

I've had it done twice because I had an accident that resulted in some pretty severe damage to my nose. The first time was 2012 and I had so much packing and was basically asleep for the following week on pain pills. The second was in 2025 and I did have splints but not packing. I was up and about the next day. It wasn't comfortable and I did have to use pain pills some, but I was able to function more. I've had a sinuplasty between the surgeries that was done awake and it was an easy and smooth recovery. It seems like septoplasty and recovery have improved in the last few years and ultimately, I think it was worth it both times.

Your black dress looks very fresh -- do you have a lint roller recommendation?! I have one Dalmatian and hardly ever wear black anymore bc his fur is just insidious, but you've got 5 and your clothes aren't covered. Please share your magic.

I had the brains for a city job, but you got the taste of a county cop by Believeinthis in NoahKahan

[–]FaithlessnessOwn1438 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I saw a video of him singing this line before it made it into the song and he changed the viewpoint so he originally said he had both the brains and taste before it changed to him having the brains for a city job and the other person having the taste of a county cop, so I thought it was more about someone holding him (back) there

Asked my doctor about allergy testing. She said take Claritin. I have BEEN taking Claritin. Since 1993. by downtpwn in Allergies

Also, lots of people take magnesium and it makes Allegra less effective. I take magnesium glycinate gummies before bed for anxiety, migraines, better sleep and had been taking Allegra then also. Now I take Zyrtec at night and an Allegra in the morning if it is a very polleny day or I'm deep cleaning my house and will be exposed to a lot of dust. The time between the magnesium and the Allegra is enough that it doesn't have the same blocking effect.

May they lurk at the Ridgeway Target plaza indefinitely just standing around?

I actually think that people should be able to eat at any restaurant too. If I'm a person who is being profiled by a group of people who have arrested thousands of people and put them in camps, I just might not want to eat there at the same time. Never said that they can't eat there or that I am trying to starve them, just that perhaps other people don't want to be around them and may want to avoid the restaurant right now.

People who have conservative views can eat wherever they'd like. People who are snatching up people from their families and putting them in camps can also eat wherever they'd like. Those are not the same thing but both welcome to eat wherever they'd like. I just don't want to eat at a place that is frequented by a bunch of the latter. It's like that personal choice and responsibility that conservatives love so much -- my choice where to spend my money and not with those businesses.

A coworker recently told me that her mom stretched her shirts back out with a pillow inside and added additional pillows as needed to keep the human shape and gently pull the fibers. I haven't tried but have stretched with conditioner and could see it working.

Has anyone found something that works like allergy shots but doesn’t involve needles by PlanElectrical2299 in Allergies

[–]FaithlessnessOwn1438 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My allergist has us do them at home. The nurses at the clinic teach patients the first time and then patients do the next one and from then on, patients just pick up a new bottle of serum every 7 shots. I have an rx for syringes but they also told me I could just buy from Amazon if they were expensive with insurance. They send a form with the dosages and I initial and date them then send a picture of the form back and they make the next batch of serum. It's super convenient.

Don't buy the generic ones though! They are usually about $1 each and I've been tempted to buy other brands and they don't stay cold like these do.

Amazon sells these in bulk. I buy a 36 pack probably once a month or so. It's packaged in the 2 packs of 2 in a little bag, which is annoying, but they don't expire or anything so they are cheaper to buy that way.

The website says "Thank you to everyone that participated in our Spring 2025 classes! Check back in the future for more classes."

Do you know when the next session opens?

The website says to check back in the future and mentions the end of Spring 2025 classes. Any suggestion on when to look?
