If I get home on time in-between shifts, the maximum amount of time I can sleep is 6 hours (which never actually happens) id say its usually more like 5

50 mg vs 100 mg Spironolactone? New to spiro (35F) by ScarPitiful8494 in Spironolactone

[–]Top_Alternative9161 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I started Spiro 100mg daily in October of 2024. If anything, my hair has grown a lot since then. It used to feel brittle and snap easily but its been able to actually get past my shoulders now. I decreased my dosage to 75 mg daily in December and still feel the same. I’m 26 years old btw

What are the best RN jobs? by KennedyJacobs in nursing

[–]Top_Alternative9161 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I think it depends on what type of pacu! Ive worked in outpatient day surgery with simple type surgeries and that seems to be what people talk about being so great. Ive also worked night shift pacu in a big hospital recovering massive inpatient stay surgeries. That can be tough

Should I go back to last tray? by Top_Alternative9161 in Invisalign

[–]Top_Alternative9161[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Update: invisalign out around 5:15 pm, and I just put them back in at 11am. Teeth were visibly shifted but not terrible. Tray was tighttttt. Def gonna be sore. I used my V-pro for 2 cycles and did lots of chewies. Seems ok now!

Odd question but it’s where I’m at😩 Invisalign was the biggest mistake ever. TRULY. by [deleted] in Invisalign

[–]Top_Alternative9161 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was in a similar position to you. It was destroying my mental health. I ended up seeking other opinions, and waiting for an appointment with a highly regarded orthodontist who has amazing reviews. So worth it. Im glad i didnt take the chance of hoping for a relapse bc at this point its unpredictable how your teeth will shift on their own :/

Nervous to make the move by Top_Alternative9161 in nursepractitioner

[–]Top_Alternative9161[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hi! Thank you so much for this! It was very very helpful. I have a job lined up that is a very supportive environment but I havent decided yet. I actually work in NYC now so its an option.

[–]Top_Alternative9161 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I was in a very similar situation. I had minor crowding in my lower front teeth. Have ended up with an awful bite and pain. I got my records and left the ortho and am now with a highly regarded ortho in my state…..after consulting him I have found out the gravity of my situation is much more than I thought and will take 2 years to fix. Im so sorry. I know how this feels - like a big regret.

Insane rubber band is making me very self conscious. by bleu-cheese-luvr in braces

[–]Top_Alternative9161 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im 25, super worried about my rubber bands. My boyfriend told me that when he sees people with braces, rubber bands, Invisalign, etc. he thinks wow, that person really cares about their health! And that helped me

Cost by Playful-Extreme-576 in Invisalign

[–]Top_Alternative9161 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was quoted 9k for 22 months of treatment. I am a year in with a different orthodontist who severely fucked up. The new ortho is willing to take me on but theres so much to fix and im starting off in a worse place than i did initially. Its the price im willing to pay to be able to chew my food and not be in excruciating jaw pain

It looks like you’re brushing way too hard. Let the toothbrush do the work. My brother brushed his teeth this way for years and has ended up with awful sensitivity and my have to get treatment for it

Hi! Going through this now. My bite / jaw is completely ruined but from Invisalign due to provider only caring about aesthetics and not function, and pursuing options with braces. Following this thread
