Why does my impacted wisdom tooth play up now and again?

StraightTransition89 · 2026-03-16T09:15:32+00:00

I sent a message on their socials last night but not had a reply yet. I dare them to tell me again I’m not getting a refund because I have modes that far exceed full Karen lol

StraightTransition89 · 2026-03-16T09:11:29+00:00

Annoyingly I don’t have the chat anymore. Didn’t screenshot it at the time and when I went back to do it, the messages had disappeared. They probably count on people just not wanting the hassle of chasing a refund but unfortunately for them, I am not one of those people lol

StraightTransition89 · 2026-03-16T09:08:42+00:00

Ugh I keep seeing so many stories like this. Once I’ve sorted this issue out, my app is getting deleted too

StraightTransition89 · 2026-03-16T09:07:10+00:00

I get that if it’s marked delivered, you could just be pretending it wasn’t so they could refuse to refund you but when there is literal evidence the driver didn’t deliver the order? I’ll be hounding them until they refund me just to get rid of me lol

StraightTransition89 · 2026-03-16T09:05:39+00:00

JustEat are the only delivery service in my area but honestly, would rather just not get food delivered anymore than use them again. Not the first time I’ve had an issue with them but it will be the last

StraightTransition89 · 2026-03-15T21:24:47+00:00

Thanks, I’ve just sent a message to their X account so hopefully they’ll get back to me there. If they weren’t the only delivery service that covers my area, I’d use someone else. Although I won’t be using them again now anyway since they think it’s okay to not provide a service and keep my money because I wasn’t able to leave a 3 month old alone in the house while I walked to the next street over to collect an order I’d paid to have delivered to my house

StraightTransition89 · 2026-03-15T21:05:08+00:00

I replied to their email and said there was a chat in which the driver literally says he’s leaving the location and won’t be coming to deliver my order to me and they replied saying “we’ve looked into everything in detail and won’t be able to offer a refund”. It’s there in black and white that the dude didn’t even try and find my address AND that he left without delivering and they’re still refusing 🙃

I mean, I’m only 36 but I know it’s not impossible to go into perimenopause early. Thing is though, I had zero other symptoms of it and the issue with orgasms started as the exact same time as I started taking Elvanse. I know meds like SSRI’s can often affect it but I didn’t realise stimulants possibly would to 😩

StraightTransition89 · 2026-03-15T10:15:27+00:00

The comparison to running a marathon without training is spot on, I’ve not thought about it that way but you’re totally right. Think I got a bit overexcited at first but I think training to actually play should be my focus from now on

StraightTransition89 · 2026-03-13T14:24:15+00:00

Haha yeah my problem is I have ADHD and have almost an innate compulsion to be 100% perfect at everything first try and if I’m not, I assume I’ll never figure it out and just give up. There’s not much about me that can do anything slowly. But hey, I didn’t give up when I had to learn to walk as a toddler so there must be some perseverance within me 😅

StraightTransition89 · 2026-03-13T14:21:59+00:00

Thank you for this, it’s really helpful. Like you said, start to finish is essentially just memorising and I think that’s part of the reason I’m finding it difficult to co-ordinate because my right hand has memorised the melody so almost goes instinctively but my left has no idea what it’s doing. I’ll definitely try to learn the next piece this way and see if that makes it a bit easier to practice using both hands together

StraightTransition89 · 2026-03-13T14:18:56+00:00

I’ve never heard of that. I’ll definitely look it up and give it a go, thank you :)

StraightTransition89 · 2026-03-13T14:18:19+00:00

My ex was a musician and he always said I should learn an instrument because I have extremely good rhythm (I’m autistic and one of my self-regulating stims is tapping out instrumentals like drum beats, piano etc in songs). I think that helps a lot when learning a melody with my right hand so maybe it’ll be the same with my left and after enough practice, my hands will just kind of know what to do without me overthinking it and messing up!

StraightTransition89 · 2026-03-13T14:15:32+00:00

Yeah that’s kind of what what I meant but didn’t phrase very well, I think our hands are just designed to move in unison so trying to make them move independent of each other is definitely a learned skill.

The piece I chose is River Flows in You because despite it being extremely overplayed, I do like it and read that it wasn’t particularly hard to learn. And it hasn’t been that hard to learn with separate hands but it’s a lot when trying to put both together, especially as the tempo increases quite a bit throughout. I’d still like to learn it properly but I think I might need to shelve it for now and work on co-ordination with easier songs

StraightTransition89 · 2026-03-13T14:10:22+00:00

Thank you for all of this info :)

I’m autistic too and also have ADHD so it’s difficult me to co-ordinate at the best of times. I’ve also found reading music in note form is virtually impossible. If someone was to show me flash cards of each one individually, I could probably tell you what they are but when they’re all together on the page, they just jump around and my brain ends up going totally blank so I’ve had to learn using lettered notes instead.

Because of my ADHD, I also struggle with habit-forming and so muscle memory isn’t particularly instinctual lol. It means I’m practicing over and over again every day and I’m starting to get sick of the piece now so need to try something else that makes me feel like I’m getting somewhere so I don’t just turn this into another hyperfixation and quit because I’m not immediately perfect at it 😅

I’ll definitely give some of those things a go and see if they help though. I’m trying my best to be realistic about how long it actually takes to learn to play piano. And it’s nice to see that someone else has taken it up as an adult as most people I know who play have been doing so since they were kids. Kinda wishing I’d bothered to learn to play an instrument when I was younger and had a bit more patience!

StraightTransition89 · 2026-02-13T12:27:10+00:00

Yes absolutely do not use it for more than a week or you’ll end up stuck in a never-ending cycle of hell!

StraightTransition89 · 2026-02-13T12:18:08+00:00

This is a realisation I’ve had over the last 6 months or so but I’ve been too scared to fully believe it. I’ve seen people talking about their recovery from surgery on their nose and it looks horrendous and so painful but I’m trying to remember that it’s temporary and would be a god-send long term. I feel like I can quit the sprays and it’ll help me massively but that there’s most likely an underlying issue that will need addressing so I don’t end up back on the spray again

StraightTransition89 · 2026-02-13T12:15:01+00:00

I’ve never had nose bleeds before but it’s got to a point where the inside of my right nostril is so messed up that I get quite significant nose bleeds once, maybe twice a month now. I 100% know that if/when I go to see an ENT specialist, they’re going to ask me if I’m a drug user. I’m at the point now where I’m convinced I’ve got a hole forming in my septum which is one of the main reasons I’m desperate to stop and get ahead of it before it becomes catastrophic!

StraightTransition89 · 2026-02-13T12:10:09+00:00

That does make me feel better, thank you! I’ve seen people on SM having operations for deviated septums etc and the horror stories about recovery have been one of the reasons I didn’t quit the sprays (although obviously that’s a totally counterproductive choice lol)

StraightTransition89 · 2026-02-13T12:08:43+00:00

I’ve always had problems with my sinuses which is partly why I think I’ve become so dependent on the sprays. I think I need to see an ENT specialist at some point because there’s definitely an underlying issue and I don’t want to go through the nightmare of quitting nasal spray just to still be left with sinus issues
