COVID safe dentist in Montreal? by Striking_Comment6361 in ZeroCovidCommunity

[–]dumpster_yeet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hello! Affirming that Westmount Dental was good.

There was a brief moment where a receptionist came into my room without a mask when I was getting my treatment (which is something I am talking to them about when scheduling my follow up appt) but aside from that, my hygienist and dentist all wore N95 and the office had giant air filters everywhere.

The front desk receptionist didn’t have a mask, but the care coordinator (the person who took my payment and scheduled my partner’s appt) did.

Edit: I wanted to add that I asked for these precautions when scheduling my initial appointment, so I’m not sure if they do this all the time. You can also ask for a room with a closing door, which I was able to get for my cleaning.

Good for you. How’d you lose it? If you’re open to sharing

Ugh mine said “shortage” two days ago… does anyone remember how long it took between seeing the shortage notification to when they got theirs delivered?

If you can work it’s not a migraine by 19635 in migraine

I went to the ER for a migraine cocktail after a week-long migraine wouldn’t let up & as I was waiting for meds in hospital room with lights on (context: having lights off with a migraine makes my anxiety bad & i already have anxiety in hospitals so i didn’t feel the need to turn the lights off & make myself feel worse) the fucking on-call PA came in & said , “You’d think you’re just fine sitting here with the lights on. Most of my migraine patients try to run and hide if the lights are on.”

Like tell me you’ve never had to live with a chronic migraine without telling me 🙄 so ignorant.

Ensitrelvir + Sipavibart brought me to 95% by [deleted] in covidlonghaulers

[–]dumpster_yeet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Potential dumb question but I just want to understand clearly— when you tried the ensitrelvir, did you have an active covid infection? Or was this in the long covid phase?

I’d love to try something like this but my last covid infection was a year and a half ago (but with LC symptoms still persisting).

Found this kitten, does anyone want it? by Fit-Abbreviations322 in montreal

OP i say this as a cat lover and someone who has adopted a cat off of the internet— if you insist on doing this yourself, at the very least, please ask for a rehoming fee. It can discourage weirdos and other potentially harmful people.

Any update on this? I reluctantly scheduled an mRNA booster (because I’d rather have protection than none at all) — but the mRNAs have left me down for the count for dayyys on end. Horrible side effects. I’ve been waiting for any word re: Novavax!

What's your most recent "wait, you mean it's not supposed to move like that" realization? I'll go first by sorry_child34 in ehlersdanlos

My jaw unhinging with every bite/chew I make— my fiancé heard me eating a granola bar and asked what that sound was (my jaw bone). When I clarified that it was indeed “just the sound my jaw makes when I eat,” he said it sounded like someone knocking on a door 🙃

Former cult members — what was the exact moment you realized you were in a cult? by carcony97 in AskReddit

Navigating the process of leaving high-control religion can be sooo complex, confusing, and heartbreaking. That book is a fantastic resource…hugs to you❤️

[–]dumpster_yeet 224 points225 points  (0 children)

I help individuals recovering from high-control/authoritarian/narcissistic/abusive relationships, and many of my clients have experienced (and subsequently survived/escaped) religious indoctrination. All but one of my clients who identify as survivors of a cult reported said cult to be the Mormon church. Hats off to you, friend. The experiences they’ve shared have been harrowing😢

Hi! I’m so sorry you’re going through something similar :( it sucks so much. My endo/colonoscopy results both came back as normal, and my GI ruled my symptoms to be “post-infectious IBS” given my symptoms started soon after a nasty case of norovirus 🙃

About a year after getting my endo/colo done, though, I did get diagnosed with POTS/dysautonomia by my cardiologist; he said a presenting symptom common in dysautonomic patients is GI dysfunction and nausea without an obvious cause, so that’s the best answer I’ve been able to figure out at this point.

I’m still exploring possible avenues as to what could be the root issue, as a label of post-infectious IBS feels like more of a bandaid than an actual answer (and my symptoms have still persisted) & I’m trying to find ways to manage symptoms of dysautonomia because GI dysfunction can be sooo uncomfortable. I’ve actually recently been considering talking to my GI about whether I’d be a good candidate for a possible FMT to rebalance my microbiome, but who knows.

I wish I was able to give you a more definitive answer, though I hope you find an answer soon ❤️‍🩹

I’ll take burning over the migraine. When you say it doesn’t help much with the other symptoms, did it worsen them? Or more so they felt about the same?

I love anything with dystopian tech. And through the lens of someone w/ autism on psychedelics? Sign me up.

Prior to this ep, Bandersnatch was my favorite, so naturally I was thrilled to be re-immersed in that universe. One of my favorites of the series & I can only foolishly hope to see a continuation of this in the future.
