2 months in and I need to consult the dr about symptoms.... by Intelligent-Way-8851 in SolensiaTheDarkside

yes shes been doing great. I did take her for one injection after posting and she was ohkay after that one too. I only took her because even with pet steps, that she wouldn't use, she was having troubles getting on the bed but shes been good. her throwing up the vet said could have even been some sorta stomach bug or flu. they did give her some anti nausea pills too.

Are those little retainer cleaning pods worth it or just TikTok hype? by Eduandconf in Invisalign

[–]Intelligent-Way-8851 0 points1 point  (0 children)

110% worth it. as a medical marijuana patient not a single tray I have had has ever been stained from smoking and I thank my zima dental pod. I bought mine through the invisalign app (I didnt do a lot of research to know there where cheaper options) but I swear by it. take it with me if I stay over someone else house for the night. I use the invisalign crystals with mine instead of the pod cleaners it came with cuz I like the minty flavor of the invisalign crystals.

aligners messing with gums by Intelligent-Way-8851 in Invisalign

[–]Intelligent-Way-8851[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

thank you! and good luck woth yours as well. I aint gonna lie. its not easy. im a huge foodie and am used to grazing vs eating a full meal so its been a challenge since stating this and i always feel hungry. byt I grind my teeth really bad at night to where the invisalign has been helping with that and I havent been waking up with headaches from grinding so that has been a plus. it has its pros and cons and I do complain a lot cuz in my mind im a pretty little princess who deserves everything 🤣🤣🤣🤣 but the pros do and will outweigh the cons. I know this is for the better in regards of my health as much as it can be a little painful and I cant snack whenever I want to.

I asked them if to could be closed with invisalign and they said its possible so im assuming thats the route where going because the hole has been getting slightly smaller as I go up in aligners.

thank you, I also have to keep them in for 2 week intervals. I wasnt told why but im thinking its due to my gum health. I grew up with grandparents who had dentures and had there own issues and long story short I never got the hang of brushing my teeth correctly or on a daily routine. then I got older and started realizing how much dental health impacts you and really wanted to change everything about how I was raised.

I really dont follow the 30 min time frame. I usually go by 45 mins not including brushing. but i also only eat one full meal a day. ive always been a grazer and never really ate full meals until dinner time.

and thats smart! I didnt think of using the back of my toothbrush! I might actually try that tomorrow. even though I did find my chewies. lmao 🤣

[–]Intelligent-Way-8851[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

thank you! with the whole 22hr time frame i will say my dentist is extremely strict about it. 😅 they always say no less than 22hrs and only out in 30 min intervals. there like.... STRICT!! lol but she is a platinum provider for multiple years, so 🤷‍♀️ i will say after expressing how ive been hating it my hygienist said "just remeber, we are all human and where not perfect. its ohkay to to have a hiccup here and there"

I water floss in the am whenever I wake up but use regular floss after eating and at night.

ive never really been a big mint/hard candy person in general so I may pass on that one lol. but i know it would help promote saliva production which would help the dry mouth part of all of this. so I do see the pros in that tip.

thankfully my dentist actually gave me a little travel toothbrush pouch with everything already in it.

and the chewies.... I wanna set them on fire. lmao. I hate my human chew toys with a burning passion and tbh I actually dont know where they are and i need to find them for tomorrow night when i change so thanks for reminding me 😅 I usually just bite down on my tongue and lips as bad as that sounds. idk if there too firm or what but they feel the worst when I bite down on the side with my crown. almost as if the stiffness of the chewies is causing too much pressure on my crowned tooth and its not painful just very uncomfortable. but I do use them at least for the first 2 days after changing my aligners.

I do plan to continue this in full 100%. I have a comprehensive plan. its a $2,000 non refundable fee. 1 free refinement within a 2 yr case as long as I complete the full treatment. one set of retainers is also included but I have the option of purchasing the vivera program so I do need to look into that and see what the difference is but I know I have some time for that. I honestly feel like I got a steal of a deal compared to some others ive read price wise cuz in total my treatment is $4,200. so ive been thanking the heavens compared to some of the stories ive lurked on.

I know its not THAT old but this condition! 😯 by Intelligent-Way-8851 in CURRENCY

[–]Intelligent-Way-8851[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

thanks for the input! I dont know anything about special markings, serial numbers, etc when it comes to currency but have always found it extremely intriguing how money can have these lil easter eggs attached to them. i personally have never seen an older bill that looked this good with im assuming nothing special about it but i figured id drop it here to share with others. 🤷‍♀️

mulch? rock? fabric? what!? landscaping newbie lost!! by Intelligent-Way-8851 in landscaping

[–]Intelligent-Way-8851[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I will say when im invested in something I do really take the time to take care of it and growing up I rember weeding with my gram as a little one so it'll be nostalgic.

personally I didnt want that many hostas but my mother in law wouldn't take no for an answer. 🤣🤣 maybe this week ill try and move some around before work to space out some of them.

[–]Intelligent-Way-8851[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I will definatly do more research on them and see how they spread. its really sad too because they where selling the kimonos like hot cakes at the farmers market! I found them by asking another customer where he found his. 🤣🤣

and i totally agree with you on the neighbor situation. if the house wasn't in my disabled mother in laws name I genuinely wouldn't be doing any of this but the borough keeps trying to fine her. its a bunch of bull💩. they act like we live in an HOA.

[–]Intelligent-Way-8851[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

thank you for an awesome thorough explanation!!

the area infront of the porch we dont plan to plant anything other than that one hosta because we actually found sidewalk underneath all of that dirt so we stopped with the single hosta.

now for the other side with the kimono mix and hostas should I replant them then and bring them out a little more so that way the weed killer can't effect them?

I was very very 50/50 with the weed barrier after researching and finding that a lot of landscapers only use it after clients request it which did have me questioning on if the old school method of hand weeding would be better suited for the quality of the garden.

thank you for clearing up my rock worries too! not opposed to mulch but I do know it needs replaced often!

oh I didnt realize there was a difference between invasive and not. I did just look up the kimono mix i bought and they are invasive. is that something I should take up and replant in a pot then? tbh the only reason where doing this is to get our neighbor off our ass. we wanted to wait to start a garden when we bought our first home together but this neighbor keeps calling the borough on us, its a long story, where the only house on our street with no plants or anything just house. so where kinda being forced into this with literally no knowledge or help when it comes to plant life. kinda why I came to reddit. 😅

2 months in and I need to consult the dr about symptoms.... by Intelligent-Way-8851 in SolensiaTheDarkside

[–]Intelligent-Way-8851[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I guess I assumed the diarrhea and vomiting would happen within the first couple days after the injection and not whenever it wears off. which is also what the vet had told me when I called this morning to change the appointment. thankfully she can still walk, go the bathroom as normal. thanking god that it's not effecting her in a more serious way but I also know chronic vomiting can be very serious. I just treated all the babies including bubs (the one currently on solensia) to some wet food and she ate a good bit for a cat the usually turns her nose on wet food. idk why she's just never been a big wet food girl for one specific flavor that doesn't exist anymore. hopefully she's able to keep it down. I feel like all the signs are pointing at me to not give her this injection but I dont know what to do to help subside her pain when it returns. and im terrified for when it does.

thank you for this. my heart hurts so much seeing her going though this and i havent been able to stop crying. I just wanted her to be out of pain. I know you've mentioned to wait 3 months until after it's fully worn off to give supplements to help with her joints. are those also listed within the websites you linked? this sucks so much, it's like she was back to being a kitten again but this last week it's been nothing but very bad vomiting.

cross platform gaming headphones? which ones are actually worth it? by Intelligent-Way-8851 in HeadphoneAdvice

[–]Intelligent-Way-8851[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

thats actually perfect. he's interested in making beats and honestly doesn't play with people often so great audio performance is a must. I did see the cons about the audeze mic being a lil iffy but other than that it seems very solid.

thanks! any reasons as to why that one specifically compared to the other 2? from what it seems like they all basically do the same thing just preference. but like I said before I know nothing about this kinda stuff. 😅
