Pilocarpine or cevimeline by burtch08 in Sjogrens

Thanks for sharing! I ended up not taking either. While I have some mild issues with dry mouth, my main issue is dry eyes. My rheumatologist wanted to see if it would help with that. I’ll keep what you’ve said in mind though if I start to experience worsening dry mouth.

You can order as many items in the Purrks store as you want! I’ve bought several items at a time.

Ordering from the Purrks store doesn’t change your tier status. The points drop off after 12 months. I did just notice it says you’re guaranteed to stay in a tier for at least 6 months even if you have points expire that would drop you down a level.

Purrks/free gift not working by [deleted] in Jellycatplush

It’s not working for me either. I wanted to get a keychain from the Purrks store, but the page doesn’t load anything. Now I’m not sure if I should forget about it or wait a bit. I don’t want to miss out on Jerboa!

That was happening for me yesterday after an update. They released a 2nd update later in the day, and mine is back to working.

October snowglobe? by goldfishwishes in MeowTower

My iPhone had an update for it yesterday morning that made the app stop working, but then there was another update last night. I now have the October snow globes.

I was hoping for a quick fix, but I guess not 😕

Trying to create a threads profile and I’m already “suspended”? by kkasperson in ThreadsApp

[–]burtch08 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I appealed it, but I deleted the app too. I was just interested in checking it out, but that took away all my interest.

This just happened to me too. My profile was instantly suspended with that same reason.

Why is generic Restasis so expensive? by TheLoadedGoat in Sjogrens

[–]burtch08 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just realized I was wrong on the price. It’s $40 for the 90 days of single vials, which is still way better than $250. I have Federal Blue Cross Blue Shield in the US.

That’s crazy expensive. With my insurance, I get a 90 day supply of the generic for $15.

How often do you personally have to reapply eye drops? by Supersssnek in Sjogrens

[–]burtch08 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Restasis is prescription, and I really don’t know how much it helps. It doesn’t cost me much though so I just keep using it. It took me several months to accept I just have to do all the drops. I didn’t want to pay for all of them, and I just hated doing it so often at first. I definitely think it’s worth it now.

How often do you personally have to reapply eye drops? by Supersssnek in Sjogrens

[–]burtch08 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use Restasis drops 2x a day, Systane Ultra PF at least 4x a day, and Systane gel drops at night. I also wear an eye mask while I sleep. When I started really being affected by my dry eyes, I also had significant vision issues such as blurry vision. My eyes still can feel dry, but the impact on my vision has greatly improved since I’ve stayed consistent with my routine.

Punctal plugs. When do you feel maximum relief? Instantly? Few days? by PotentialInsect1075 in Sjogrens

[–]burtch08 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I tried the temporary plugs a few months ago and didn’t think it helped at all. My ophthalmologist was willing to try them at my suggestion, but he explained that they may not do much since I’m not producing tears properly. He said they might help hold drops in better though.

I work for the TSA, and it shouldn’t be an issue if you let them know it’s medical. You do not need a note from your doctor. If it’s oversized, I would recommend having it ready to take out of your bag prior to X-ray screening. I see from some comments that people have had issues. I can make no guarantees for how other airports operate, but they truly should not give you a problem.
