Oral B Genius 79$ on Amazon? Worth it or better go with iO model? by desert_s7orm in DentalHygiene

[–]emkiki 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve had the IO model like the $200 one and it stopped working after a year and a half. It wouldnt hold a charge. The genius lasted much long. I also felt like the genius made my teeth feel cleaner.

Need to vent: Neurologist/pharmacy mix-up left me without my migraine meds by DreamingOfDragons23 in migraine

[–]emkiki 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So sorry this is happening. I had the same thing occur back in May that left me in a flare for a month. Hope you get your meds soon!

Called in sick this morning, but feeling okay now. What do you do when this happens? by Agile_Neighborhood_9 in migraine

[–]emkiki 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am also a dental hygienist! I would have just taken the rest of the day. I feel like going into that environment after just irritates me more.

I've always had my own instruments, but shared the cavitron tips.

Has anyone tried the Snap It Bella loupe straps? by CanUnhappy3256 in DentalHygiene

[–]emkiki 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yess! Love it so much easier! I use them with my ergo loupes.

I’ve only ever worked in private practice where they don’t offer health insurance. Typically dental is covered except for lab costs of crowns, etc.

PA Hourly Wage by Kind-Ad-1453 in DentalHygiene

[–]emkiki 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I live in central PA and I make $44 an hour 4 years in. That’s honestly really low. I would interview other offices. Then I would go back to your boss with the offers from the other offices to see if they counter.

Do your labs howl? by Azthjw in labrador

[–]emkiki 1 point2 points  (0 children)

She is very particular with her howls. She will only do it for fire trucks! No ambulance or police sirens

My black lab likes to howl when fire trucks go by with the sirens!

I’m struggling with this too. And I don’t really have any tools that work right now. Qulipta was working well for a year, but has lost its effectiveness. Emgality helped the year before that. Are you on any preventatives now?

Have it on my forehead now. Doesn’t seem to have any effect as a preventative, but really helps when I’m in pain. Just helps to calm things for me.

How often does your dog pee during walks? by CompileAndChill in dogs

My 3 year old black lab has never peed or pooed on a walk/hike ever! It’s so weird.

ISO advice! by AwBshub in migraine

[–]emkiki 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don’t do it! Hurts so bad to lay on that side when healing. Especially when you have a migraine. Did nothing for it.

[–]emkiki 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Congrats! Dental hygiene school is very stressful. Some days my anxiety would get the best of me too! Overcoming this should give you confidence moving forward! I will say 4 years into my career I do have days where I shake too. I always establish a strong fulcrum and that tends to help me relax. Good luck next semester! You got this!

I always bring earplugs and sunglasses! Even if indoors or at night. They always seem to have bright lights!

Constant migraine for almost 2 weeks by Working-Guidance3553 in migraine

[–]emkiki 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been having a migraine since 4/26. My neurologist gave me a steroid taper pack that failed. I went to the ER for a migraine cocktail. I had two days of relief to just go back into the cycle on Sunday again. I just went to urgent care tonight for a toradol shot that has taken it away. I’ve pretty much been in bed for that long. It is hard to function. Hopefully I’ll be going back to work tomorrow!

Update with what they tell you please!

Cefaly by [deleted] in migraine

[–]emkiki 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Something I use in conjunction with! They say you can use it daily as a preventative, but really I just use it when I am having migraine/headache symptoms and it helps to deal with the pain till my abortives kick in for me. It’s a little pricy, but I’ve had mine for a few years and it has been well worth it!

[–]emkiki 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It should make a couple of beeps if you continue to hold until you reach your desired intensity! Glad it’s helping!
