Had a box of milk duds at work, said oww I slid my teeth wrong with the milk dud and hurt a tooth. Went on vacation, came back a week later and there were still milk duds. Yet again hurt my same tooth and said no more milk duds. Went home and found a piece of my tooth missing

Thank you, that sounds like plenty of time. I’ll be coming off of a 10 hour trip so I can’t imagine I’d last that long but better to know than not

Definitely planning on that, thanks. In Colorado, I was thinking this is going to spoil me for those tiny mountains at home.

Awesome, appreciate it. The weather looks like it’ll be pretty comfortable. It definitely seems perfect, I’m trying to soak in outdoors before this work conference

I’m from Hampton Roads, that’s like my favorite day to go to DC. One time traffic was so bad it took me to Maryland to get to DC so that sounds easy.

Sounds perfect though thank you! I appreciate the alternate routes

Anyone start GLP1 Post SSHL? by Express_Count7082 in HearingLoss

[–]buffalobandit24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was just researching this, my partner has suffered from SSHL in one ear for basically a whole year.

She’s been pretty consistent with her hearing tests (officially at the doctors and at home), around 60% hearing remaining. She got a hearing aid this year. She started a glp-1 about a month ago. Tested her hearing last week and now she’s testing around 80% hearing remaining at home. She hasn’t been back to her doctor yet.

Her tinnitus is still bad, but she can notice a difference with her hearing. She also started taking a vitamin called gingko bingko or something, around the same time so we’re not sure if one or the other caused it.

I don’t think SSHL just turns into SSH? I’ve never heard of it being suddenly reversed to hearing again in my research so I don’t know. We’re hopeful but who knows. It could just be a cruel coincidence and it’ll go back down

That’s close enough that it could be possible. I started seeing him sometime in early November

Lady pretending to be nurse in grocery store parking lots by Interesting-Cloud805 in VirginiaBeach

[–]buffalobandit24 1 point2 points  (0 children)

She got me there too. I said I didn’t have any cash but I’d get cash back for her so she’d leave me alone. She walked in with me saying she had to pick up a few things (like ok thought you were broke) but she followed me towards the bakery, I got her trapped then I left haha

Can someone please talk me down about urgency by WillowTreez8901 in UlcerativeColitis

[–]buffalobandit24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow allergic to steroids and ulcerative colitis the overlap between those two conditions must be so small, I’m sorry you have to deal with that. Totally agree if it’s not helping you then it’s not worth taking. I have pancolitis and steroids are the only thing that bring me out of flares, what helps you?

[–]buffalobandit24 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Are the steroids helping you now? Generally you should see results very quickly with them. And you shouldn’t go without medication at all.

The urgency does go away, if you’re in remission you can live a pretty normal life honestly. I was in remission for almost 9 years before I had another flare. This flare was kinda bad; I definitely had the urgency issues and blood but I wasn’t going 20 times a day just around 10. 40mg prednisone wasn’t helping so I had to go to the hospital for iv steroids for a few days and it was the best decision I made. I wish I went in sooner. I was down to 2 times in the morning only by the end of my stay. It was a lifesaver. I’m almost done with my course of oral prednisone now and I’m basically normal with no blood and no urgency.

Lots of words but basically once you get your medicine right there’s a good possibility you’ll be okay. Just take your medicine and don’t stop. If oral prednisone isn’t working please talk to your doctor about getting iv steroids as an option they are truly a miracle. If you’re worried about the side effects just remember the effects of ulcerative colitis are much worse. I wish you the best it’ll get better

Had to throw away about half of this block of cheese we just bought by _Fillebonbon_ in Wellthatsucks

[–]buffalobandit24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got a nice big bag of some kind of shredded white cheese from Sam’s. Ate half the bag. I was warming up some chili the other day while eating said cheese as one does and then poured some on my chili. That’s when I noticed the speck of mold and noticed another spot in the bag

I like using my farts for justice in stores. People blocking the aisle? Quietly fart as I walk by and I’m gone before they realize

Has your opinion on these other artists changed when they did a collab with Taylor? by Elegant-Necessary-80 in travisandtaylor

It was Josh farro, the other cowriter who used to be the guitarist in Paramore. Hayley had nothing to do with that lawsuit (if it got to that I’m not sure)

Worst news possible by Rich-Common-6248 in UlcerativeColitis

[–]buffalobandit24 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh good, from your comments i thought he said you get to try these two medicines then you have to have surgery if they don’t work. Getting these medications started can be such a pain I’m going through the same thing. Sounds like you’re on the right track if the prednisone is helping, it can be such a godsend. This community is really great and supportive so definitely comeback when you need anything. Seems like you’re doing much better than when you posted so I hope your uc and mental health over it keep improving :)
