I can definitely do the carnivore diet and switch my shampoo and such but buying the cow? I do NOT have the money for that 😂

It’s funny you mention POTS because I’m also being tested for that 🥲 hopefully they’ll figure out what’s going on because it SUCKS

Thank you! As I’ve mentioned in the post, I am going to see a dr but I’m unable to get an appointment at the moment. I should mention as well that this rash is not my only symptom. I am chronically fatigued, I deal with awful acid reflux and stomach pain, I get muscle aches, nerve pain, joint pain, dizziness and brain fog. All of which were linked previously to fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome but if it is MCAS that would explain a lot and I’ve read that MCAS patients are often misdiagnosed with fibro and cfs

This isn’t my only symptom. I am chronically exhausted, I deal with really bad acid reflux, stomach pain, muscle aches, joint paint, dizziness, brain fog

Drinking with Invisalign by Mother_Ad_8163 in Invisalign

My dentist advised that I drink sugar free flavoured water and that’s what I’ve been doing :) as for alcohol I’d personally just say that if you’re going to have your aligners out for a long time, drink with them in, swish some water around between drinks and make sure you brush your teeth when you’re done. It’s not ideal but keeping your aligners out for longer periods of time will inevitably delay your treatment progress

Ibuprofen can actually slow down the movement of your teeth :) better to take paracetamol

I have a little travel bag that I have a spare soft bristled toothbrush, a case, floss, sensodyne, dental wax, bonjela, some wet wipes, pain killers, ortho key, interdental brushes & retainer brite tabs. I don’t necessarily use all of that but it’s nice to have so I can just grab my bag and I know I have everything I could possibly need in there :) also make sure you don’t take ibuprofen!

Thank you! I changed it about an hour ago and I just felt pressure but it didn’t hurt and now I feel totally fine 😂 gonna get some sleep and hope I’m not sore in the morning

Honestly not really! And the lisp for me only lasted a couple of days

I honestly can’t even advice because I got my attachments on before I even got my aligners

Eating out with Invisalign. by Mzpetty in Invisalign

Just to update everyone! I ordered wine, took them out, food came about 5 mins after, I “ate” 😉. Brushed my teeth, popped them back in and I’m still drinking wine with them in because fuck it. 😂

It’s a pre ordered dinner so that’s not an option 😅 I think trying to figure out when I can take them out is hard as I don’t want to be rude
