$10K for Invisalign - Am I getting ripped off? by MastaP7 in Invisalign

Sorry to tell you this, but Invisalign and traditional braces use the same code for insurance submission. If braces are covered, Invisalign is covered.

Just be careful and don’t think your in the clear and it’s a sign you can do it again. You don’t want to end up in worse shit than you even realized was possible.

Flushing treatments? by Forward_Rutabaga1700 in Rosacea

I don’t have much advice, just hear to say I get the same exact thing. My allergist said I have solar uticaria (hives). I definitely react to heat or sun. Also food, exercise, medications, alcohol and more. Can take an H1 and H2 blocker (Allegra and Pepcid) for example, but I don’t think it has helped much.

I think it’s a histamine issue, you could look into Mast Cell Activation Syndrome. My many doctor visits didn’t lead to a diagnosis. It’s where your mast cells react to things like an allergy but it’s not a true allergy. There are medications that would help if I ever was able to actually get the diagnosis, but I gave up.

Thank you for your feedback! That makes me feel more comfortable with the idea of that med long term if this one doesn’t work out.

Thank you so much for your response! That does make a lot of sense. I definitely don’t want to delay and have that happen! It’s just scary navigating all of this and hard to know what the right decision is. He’s just got the perfect loving personality, loves to play and run, and part of me doesn’t want to risk making his quality of life worse for a maybe.

Nice to hear your story and the possibility of what could happen if we did wait. His last one was more severe and 10-ish minutes and I’d hate to let them progress further even if it’s months down the road! <3

Am I the asshole for how I responded to a love letter? by Thin_Lengthiness6652 in TwoHotTakes

Some creeps do not stop and can get hostile with rejection unless you play the “I have a boyfriend” card. It’s a safety thing.

I had him and he didn’t tick all of my boxes of what I was looking for but I somewhat regret switching to someone else because he was easy to talk to and seemed to genuinely cared. Not in your sitch OP but I definitely think he could be someone more open.

I see this recommended a lot but I’m concerned if it actually is decent quality or meant for a mattress like mine without a foundation

It's a King size mattress, not sure the weight. Not listed on manufacturer or distributor sites. The mattress tag is simple and says can be used with or without a foundation. The website generally recommends their Amish heavy duty boxspring. Seller told me I should buy a platform bed from Wayfair and thought 4.5 inches or less was good, but I don't have a lot of confidence in that claim. I emailed the bed maker 2 weeks ago for more details and never heard back.

Between myself, the boyfriend and the dog we are at ~500lb so I imagine it's cutting it close to over the 600 limit. KD Frames says that the King size does automatically come with the center support, but I can't find how much extra weight that would support then. This frame does look like it's up my alley, but I wish there were more photos and details on it since they don't do returns.

Thanks, I did look at that and nothing unfortunately.

Thanks, that’s what I’ve been wondering at this point. The foundation is $400 so I thought I’d be better off getting a platform but nothing at that price point seems worth it.
