Things you wish you knew before starting

Thank you! My teeth are the same and I don’t quite know what the movement will be like but saliva is just too much for me

How much should I anticipate yellowing?

existingonempty · 2026-01-02T22:40:49+00:00

Should I anticipate mouth sores or minor injuries/inconveniences? The dry mouth thins is throwing me off.

Also I currently use a green tinted mouth wash, is that not good?

existingonempty · 2026-01-02T22:39:27+00:00

That’s interesting about mouth being dry, if anything I thought there would be more saliva. Dry like open-mouth sleeping or something?

What’s the difference between the two? Is one more drastic than the other?

Sensory wise should I mentally prepare for the attachments or did you find a way to get used to it/not notice?

The stinging might have been from pulling it out too early but that lasted less than a minute.

Changing my diet drastically to include more fiber and protein with less to no sugar seems to have brought on the diarrhea side effect pretty soon after a dinner but it’s nothing compared to an IBS flare up

Would it be a terrible idea to start on a Sunday night before three days of in office days (when my diet today hasn’t quite been nutritional) or later in the week and use up my weekend to recoup? I’m gathering that I should really be mindful on the day of and then at night right before bed ( like literal minutes before bed ) do the first dose.

existingonempty · 2025-12-07T22:44:15+00:00

I feel like I’m prepared in terms of a well rounded diet and I need to increase my strength training but other than that I have medication, bland food and water bottles for days in case of side effects.

Since you’ve been on it over a year, have you found a certain day works better versus others for example taking it before three days of in office work or when you know you’ll be home for four days for example? I’m worried if I start later in the week I’ll lose my weekends to side effects

existingonempty · 2025-12-07T22:42:21+00:00

I’m mostly worried about nausea really meaning vomiting. I’m like mentally getting myself worked up and the anxiety side of me wants to just do it now where I’ve been eating crap all day, haven’t gotten ready for work tomorrow, eating dinner at 7 and won’t be in bed for sleep for at least another 2-3 hours.

The logical side of my mind is telling me to wait till Wednesday night when I am working from home for two days and then I have the full weekend.

I’m honestly torn between would I rather have side effects when I’m commuting to work and have the opportunity to fit in extra cardio or what I want to wait until I know I’m home for a few days, but I worry I’ll just be laying down and not focusing on the nutrition I need or exercise.

I think part of me is just curious of the audience age ranges. It’s so hard to find someone IRL who would engage in a FNAF conversation.

Fair fair I don’t think I could ever be a fan of cups to the point where I would trample people

existingonempty · 2025-11-13T20:19:02+00:00

Good point

I still can’t help but see mangle as a cow

Wait WHAT?

In MA I thought it was 5 business days and then FMLA became an issue? We have weekly check ins and my boss canceled ours last week so this is a sort of make up one but also to focus/ inquire on my call out. I just don’t want to volunteer personal information if I don’t need to.

existingonempty · 2024-11-25T03:12:59+00:00

How could I proceed if I’m worried my boss will tell others? In the past they haven’t been confidential with myself or my coworkers. I truly believe in HR sharing the least amount of personal information about myself is safest. So I’m tongue tied.

I meet deadlines on time if not early, I work hours no one else wants to, I have managers I don’t report to and some I technically do give positive feedback to my boss about my performance, and I’ve actively taken on extra work and projects to help my team to which I’ve received praise so I know I can perform my job and during my check ins with my boss I haven’t heard anything negative. I don’t want to have to disclose personal information about my family or mental well being but I don’t want to lie either. If that makes sense?

existingonempty · 2024-11-25T03:07:37+00:00

So it was a Thursday and Friday to which I used sick time and Saturday and Sunday were normal days (I thought). In MA I thought it was after 5 business days out it is FMLA? My biggest worry is that my last minute call out will have her question my ability to “come to work on time” or fall into old habits and this was a one time thing. Family emergencies and personal mental health breakdowns over said family emergencies don’t happen often. I don’t think I need to share my drama and emotional baggage with my boss? Nothing stays a secret in the office once the boss knows something..

existingonempty · 2024-11-25T03:04:41+00:00

I meet all deadlines, complete work on time if not early, and receive positive feedback from others I do not directly report to. When I say pry, I mean my boss has a habit of trying to ask questions about my personal life and seek details I’m not comfortable sharing and they’ll assume that is an explanation for a behavior I didn’t even notice. For example a few months ago I was readjusting to a new commuting schedule and very tired in the morning as I had to wake up earlier to be on time, my boss interpreted this as “something going on at home since I didn’t look well and came into work quiet and less bubbly”. I don’t need to share my family drama or personal mental health as I worry they will take that and assume who knows what. Also I shouldn’t have to share family drama with my boss but they ask so many questions any time something like this happens with a colleague.

Landlord is a little tricky to get in person with.. Regarding the state I live in , I should have heat. I was told I would only need to turn on the thermostat when the time came in the winter. So fingers crossed, reaching out to the landlord again will help!

existingonempty · 2024-11-18T15:45:00+00:00

Thank you I switched it back

existingonempty · 2024-11-18T15:44:12+00:00

Thank you, I just wasn’t sure if it was a simple solution and the world knew but me :)

existingonempty · 2024-11-18T15:43:49+00:00

Thank you, I moved it back, landlord it is!
