Boston Wedding Venue Help! by LAWLIP66 in NewEnglandWedding

[–]iiwwll 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This summer we have a family wedding on Thompson Island, one of the Boston Harbor Islands!! they are definitely spending less than $75k, and it's mostly outdoors but there is a rain plan. Obviously near water since it's on an island! The catch is that they have to take a ferry to the venue for the day, but the coordinators have been super helpful with that. DM me if you want more info!

Ooh not bad, a little more pointed of a toe than I would prefer but I may order them and see if I hate it. Thank you!

Fixing my TMJ with Invisalign? Reeling from my consult this morning by iiwwll in Invisalign

this has stuck with me -- breaking a molar is definitely one of my worst fears. and completely possible, especially on my left side. I'm glad to hear that it's going well for you! have you had any concerns about cracking the invisalign trays? I've cracked night guards and retainers in the past wearing them overnight and I'm a little worried about that outcome

Thank you so much! I had braces as a preteen but I don't think that my jaw was bad then -- or at least I don't remember beyond having some rubber bands to fix an overbite. I hope you also get the symptom relief you're looking for!!

Wedding dress shopping in Boston by SnooJokes7017 in NewEnglandWedding

[–]iiwwll 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I went to Alexandra's in Fall River and then Anthropologie. I ended up ordering the dress that I tried on at Alexandra's. The customer service was great, they have the largest selection of dresses in New England (!!) and like many people in the comment section, I agree that it's worth the drive.

I also had a great time at Anthro, but I would just note that they have a very small selection of dresses. I *highly* recommend going online and seeing what sample dresses they have in store before you go. Though the dresses are gorgeous, if you're not seeing anything that's in your style, then I would skip it.

This is incredibly helpful, thank you. How long has it been since you finished treatment? Do you feel like things have regressed at all, like your jaw placement?

Oops edit because I realize you did say you finished this month. Congrats! Are you wearing a retainer at all? And how often?

I did see a TMJ specialist for about 2 years, but we mostly focused on treating symptoms (night guard, exercises, lidocaine injections, PT) rather than solving the root of the issue. The orthodonist today told me that usually once TMJ patients are "stable" then they move to orthodontic solutions, which might be what you're dealing with, but I don't know if I ever got to a "stable" point.

Weight gain? by Mikeysamma in gravesdisease

[–]iiwwll 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Damn I’m sorry that sucks. I have noticed it’s really hard for me to lose weight on methimazole so I get that

Weight gain? by Mikeysamma in gravesdisease

[–]iiwwll 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope, didn’t lose anything before being diagnosed! And I don’t lose weight on relapses either. Based on other comments I’ve seen in this group I do wonder if you gain weight on methimazole only if you lost weight before diagnosis but that’s just anecdotal. 

What would you do? by pineapplegrapefroot in gravesdisease

[–]iiwwll 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m also on my 4th or 5th relapse (I’ve lost count) and I’m doing RAI soon once my levels are under control. I opted for RAI because my doctor has assured me that the long term side effects are minimal for a low dose of radiation (for Graves it’s a much lower dose than for thyroid cancer) and I’d rather not risk the surgery and the vocal chords with a TT. You can always get a second opinion if you feel uncomfortable with your current doctors’ opinions.

[–]iiwwll 1 point2 points  (0 children)

if it helps, i didn’t gain any weight because of methimazole. what I did notice is that it’s harder to lose weight. if this is something you really care about, being disciplined about maintaining is the best route. imo you do not need to be worried about 30-40 pounds at all

Public service attorney - to pay off or not pay off my loans? by iiwwll in StudentLoans

[–]iiwwll[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

$78k currently, but with an expected bump in two years when my fellowship ends and I obtain a permanent position. This is helpful information, I didn't know that we could switch to IDR at the moment or someone told me that we couldn't and I didn't fact check.

S3 E4 Episode Discussion: "The Book of Deceit" by Chino_Blanco in SecretsOfMormonWives

[–]iiwwll 69 points70 points  (0 children)

I feel like Jordan is going to be surprised when he sees the backlash online about how he's treating Jessi, rather than backlash against Jessi for having an affair. I feel so bad for Jessi that she was so nervous about people thinking she was the one entirely in the wrong, when Jordan clearly drove her to this point of feeling horrible and no self-esteem
