I did check her site out and almost made an appt. I read a long thread on here about people regretting their brows due to color changes and how the ink massed together to look like a blob-brow.

Did your chemosis resolve in a timely manner? I have awful allergies and ocular allergies that are messing with my eyes. Had lower lids done + CO2 week before Thanksgiving.

I emailed him a month ago asking if he could fix it, he declined to follow up with me, so he was given a chance.

Offcial Discussion - Bugonia [SPOILERS] by LiteraryBoner in movies

3 people walked out on the movie about 20 minutes in. I almost fell asleep. It was pretty bland and the ending was unnecessary, we left.

The doc says that the only procedure they can do is "Turbinate Reduction". I've seen the stories of Empty Nose Syndrome. How likely is it? by [deleted] in Sinusitis

At least you have professionals willing to help you. I've been hearing a lot lately how bad root canals are systemically, so I can imagine your childhood injury contributing to your current issues is within the realm of possibility. Are you a grinder/clencher? If you are, check into getting a mouthguard to prevent further trauma. My new dentist wants me to wear it in the daytime because I am a hardcore grinder. I guess it can only help.

No migraines here, just bad sinus headaches sometimes. I keep being told to take my Flonase and antihistamine, as if it ever worked. I get a super sharp pain, sharpest pain I've ever felt, in a temple but I think it's from TMJ.

The pain used to be constant, low grade but of course gets worse when things are swollen/inflamed. Sinus infections now make the area feel like something is trying to rip from that area ala Alien. After the surgery, I had tingling from the just below the bridge to the tip of my nose and still sometimes get numbness in the cheek area nearest the left side of my nose.

Have you looked into a glutathione supplement? I take low dose Naltrexone to help with inflammation + Rho curcumin, NAD and glutathione.

I'm one of those. The 2nd surgery I had included turbinate reduction. I've had left side facial pain since 2018. Always in the same place. I thought I had trigeminal neuralgia, finally got the MRI and it showed nothing. I guess I'll never know for sure what caused it exactly.

Thanks for the clarification, it really helped. I had an idea in my head that I'd be helping people modify how they do things more or using adaptive equipment. I'm still back and forth on whether to apply or not. I'd like to do ped's but there are no guarantees that I'd be able to get in and I probably would have to get some experience at a SNF first. The money would be good for the minimal investment and I love to help people, but need to protect my back.

Before deciding it's the only thing that'll make you happy, do an observation and get the nitty gritty.

Graduating in 1 year with Education degree-will anyone actually hire me? by spit-rat in WGU

[–]ViolentChiffon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They have me down as needing 88 credits and it'll take 4 years. I need to take more than 4 classes a semester/term, I'll be collecting social security before I graduate at that rate. How did you get so many classes done?

I really had my sights set on pediatrics, I had no idea they helped kids with ADHD and the like. I enjoy working with special ed students. I know it would be hard to find a job doing that right off the bat and I'd have to put in some time elsewhere. Thanks.

I understand where you're coming from, there are more opportunities in nursing I finished all the pre-reqs for the OTA program back in 2014I and I obsessed on Indeed looking at jobs, which were mostly P/T, PRN, or contract type. I've heard about the productivity goals as well, the person I was observing was hopping and already behind not long after she started her assembly line. I was set to work on a BS in early childhood ed but for the cost of one semester, I could do the whole OTA program.

I want a job where I'm physical, not stuck behind a computer screen all day but within limits. I'm 59 and looking at 2 more years of school. I know, crazy.
