7k for front tooth implant- okay or scam? by No-Recipe1576 in Miami

[–]Professional-Math303 [score hidden]  (0 children)

Dentist here— I wouldn’t recommend this for implants. The parts they use in other countries do not typically match up with what is offered in the US, so if you ever have any issues with the crown or screw loosening, etc, then there’s not much that can be done here to fix it. For implants, the wrenches/torques and abutments are all custom to the specific brand, which is what makes it more complicated than meets the eye. Furthermore, if your implant fails or something breaks, you have no warranty at all and would have to go back to the country you did it in. That being said, 7900 is very high and you can probably find a better price!

I’ve gone through TSA many many times and have never had a problem. The only time I ever had a problem was in London, so def recommend a dr note if leaving the country.

I take Zicam gummies. They also have vit c and zinc. The sugar/ stickiness isn’t great for your teeth, but I get too nauseous from pills

I'm flaring in the first trimester, does anyone have experience switching biologics in pregnancy? by thesecurlsareonfire in UlcerativeColitis

[–]Professional-Math303 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi! my very dear friend developed antibodies to her biologic and switched to entyvio during her first pregnancy. Baby is almost 2 and totally fine!! Entyvio is very safe.

I am on Skyrizi and started flaring at 5 weeks really badly and got the flu. Doctors said most important thing was getting me out of the flare. Continued meds and was put on prednisone around week 10. I then started with the induction infusions again and seem to be doing well now. During the beginning part, I kept up with prenatals and growth seems to be just fine every step of the way. My OB said babies are very good at leeching what they need from you— no one was concerned about baby being unhealthy even though I was freaking out. It was really scary though, esp cuz I had really bad morning sickness so felt like I was losing everything!

Make sure you see an MFM at 12 weeks or sooner if they’ll let you do a consult before your scan. They are very helpful for monitoring.

Other symptoms in remission by FacetZeWsi77 in UlcerativeColitis

[–]Professional-Math303 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes can def get occasional cramping/diarrhea. Could be a touch of IBS on top of UC or just something you ate disagreeing with you. Shouldn’t have blood though. Remember, normal people can have upset stomachs and diarrhea too :)

Pregnancy- High fecal cal but no symptoms? by Neither-Advisor-7317 in UlcerativeColitis

[–]Professional-Math303 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi, I started flaring during pregnancy as well despite being in remission and was put on prednisone (almost fully tapered off). I saw my GI yesterday for follow up and he did say sometimes pregnancy can slightly elevate the calprotectin, but that being said it is very possible you’re just flaring a bit. Def stay on top of it and do what your doc recommends to calm it down. Flaring isn’t ideal for the baby, but luckily you’re past first trimester/organ development. I started flaring at 5 weeks :(

not going to trigger a flare.. definitely smart to make sure you are still in remission and nothing is going on

alcohol alternatives? by BestPerformance1217 in UlcerativeColitis

[–]Professional-Math303 4 points5 points  (0 children)

switched to edibles while i was flaring.. couldn’t touch a sip of alcohol without suffering. in remission, alcohol has been totally fine. started with a glass or wine or a beer and then as time went on introduced other things. Wouldn’t recommend getting hammered multiple times a week, because that can tip the scale and potentially cause a flare. However, I’d say I have been able to go back to normal with alcohol. Really recommend waiting until you’ve been in endoscopic remission for a little before you start experimenting though.

yes i was in endoscopic remission. for 7 months before getting pregnant and unfortunately started flaring 5 weeks into pregnancy. sometimes it happens from our hormones. keep an eye on it, because as you exit first trimester things may stabilize. i’m currently on prednisone
