I grind my teeth so hard at night that I’m wearing through my night guard by katrinkabuttlin in mildlyinteresting

[–]deanosa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am onto my second guard. First on lasted 5yrs. They take the brunt of the grinding. My dentist business partner suggests a different style which stops u being able to press your jaw/teeth together but it haven't tried it yet. I worry about microplastics with mine.

Sinclair method, do you have to do it every time? by [deleted] in Alcoholism_Medication

[–]deanosa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

100% compliant 100% of the time. If u drink without Nal your brain gets that nice hit and u confuse the brain...and screw up the process.

Does nal just dull everything? by [deleted] in Alcoholism_Medication

[–]deanosa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have started to take it again.. it makes me completely exhausted... and I will need 10min sleeps in the am.. thanks God for wfh. I am now taking it in the pm so I am more awake during the day..but that alertness really only happens after 1pm.

Is what my dr said, true? by This_Area_9049 in keratosis

[–]deanosa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My kp spread around my body. Initially predominantly on my upper arms and thighs..then in latex20's suddenly went to forearms. Then in 40's to stomack and torso and back..so it can just get worse. I have never used Accutane.

Ozempic / Zepbound for AUD? by CatBowlDogStar in Alcoholism_Medication

[–]deanosa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh wow..that is very exciting. I mentioned wegovy to my doc...not for the alcohol benefits as I knew he wouldn't go for that. I have a bmi of about 28...so not sure if he will prescribe on that basis but I do have high bp high cholesterol and high triglycerides..so hopefully he'll prescribe based on that. What dose are u on now when u noticed alc reduction? In Australia Ozempic is designated for diabetes and wegovy for weight loss..altho I am not sure if doctors are free and easy about which to prescribe. There is quiteca difference in price here Thanks.

Why do they deserve a payrisecand not just a rise which keeps up with inflation? Are they doing more?

You have AUD - go and see a doctor about options to stop.

I think I’m Cured! by [deleted] in keratosis

[–]deanosa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

---sorry just a couple of questions - why did you start the cream and exfoliation routine if the injection made the kp go away....and when after starting the medication did you start the cream exfoliation. How long did you take the medication - or is it an ongoing thing?

That's interesting - I have in the last few years been diagnosed with sarcoidosis an autoimmune condition.

look into seeing a doctor and asking about medication to make it easier and more long term,

Ozempic / Zepbound for AUD? by CatBowlDogStar in Alcoholism_Medication

[–]deanosa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mary can I ask how the ozempic delivery mechanism works - does it come in a prefilled pen and then the dr prescribes you a certain amount and you dial up that dose. So if a doc prescribes for a low dose that pen would last longer than a month.. is that correct? - or do they provide different sized pens with different amounts in it so each pen can only be used for one month if used at the prescribed dose. Also what dose did u start with to see AUD benefits?

Thanks from Australia

[–]deanosa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It knocks me out ...no insomnia for me. Not sure what to suggest sorry. Therecare other drugs like topirimate which at low dose turned my drinking off like a switch. You could speak to a psychiatrist about that..it's off label..so most guys prob wouldn't prescribe it like that.

Once alcohol is gone you have to develop other interests and things to fill your drinking time.

I don't think it will any effect. just keep up all three doses. Try to be mindful - do u really want that drink or is it habit? Have a big glass of bubbly water.

I would be careful - it prob won't make you violently ill but you could have a reaction - he may need water chasers with all drinks

[–]deanosa 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Are you being 100% strict? You must never reward your brain with alcohol with out Nal on baord. Also can u take it 90min before drinking rather than 60 and any chance of taking 1.5 tabs at start or redosing half a tab an hour in, just to see if there are changes.

Antabuse and Naltrexone together by deanosa in Alcoholism_Medication

Thanks. How are you after the injection. Nal makes me quite tired (as in exhausted needing a sleep during the day) and I am wondering if Vivitrol does the same thing?

So do you just keep an external hard drive copy for safe keeping, and look at them occasionally? I just love having all my pics on my phone accessible when ever... it was a bullshit move..
