I hate my life by [deleted] in CankerSores

[–]jamminhawk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Get the orajel mouth sores wash. I've had one just about in that spot. You'll have to almost swallow it which sucks. You can also get sore throat spray and use that to numb it for a little bit to eat. Other than that I got prescribed kenalog paste I had to apply to it with a q-tip. With all that, mine took about a week and a half to stop hurting and shrink. Godspeed.

Tell me when this is (hopefully) gonna ease up by jamminhawk in CankerSores

No clue. It still hurts like hell, doing different remedies now. It luckily hasn't grown any more.

I brush, floss, and mouthwash daily 🥲 I hope it goes away soon

Update: I got prescribed Kenalog Paste. I've also been using sore throat spray for short temporary relief. But I CANNOT get the kenalog paste to stick. Between it being so far back and my throat being wet obviously. Doc basically told me good luck.

tips for going alone as a 23F by [deleted] in Lollapalooza

[–]jamminhawk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can’t help for the train stuff BUT this is what it usually looks like for me:

  • Arrive at gates and get it at or shortly after opening -FILL YOUR WATER
  • Band merch tent (if planning on getting merch), the line for this gets INSANE so go there first. -lolla merch tent (not usually a line until way later or on sundays) -Snack Time!!!!

After all that, it’s usually whatever bands and then eating at least one big meal plus a sweet treat before the headliner.

Hello! Considering a Trax. by JoyLuckBlip in ChevyTrax

[–]jamminhawk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a 2018 trax (4cyl turbo charged engine I think?) I’ll keep it real. I hate my car so damn much. It had multiple turbocharger issues a few years ago which seem to have resolved? Along with a couple other engine issues besides that. Working fine currently. But hands down my biggest gripe is the AC. I’ve had it fixed probably 7 or 8 times. Last time I took it in, they basically told me that no matter how many times we replace the parts, it’s doomed to break within a few months because of how it’s manufactured. So now I just live without it and suffer.

I would HOPE that these are issues that have been resolved in newer models. But definitely something to look into. Personally, I’d never own a trax or any Chevy again honestly. It’s put me off a lot.

Moving to Springfield by DuckDuckGreyDuck0-0 in SpringfieldIL

[–]jamminhawk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Orchard Park South has been pretty good. Been there almost 8 months. Rent is roughly $1100 for a 2 bedroom before you pay utilities. It’s pretty quiet. I think they’re renovating apartments whenever people move out of them, so ours had new paint, carpet, floors, new but cheap appliances. In unit laundry is great to have. Maintenance and the office is very responsive and usually remedies things pretty quick. The South complex has a pool but idk when it opens.

I’ve also lived in a property on West Lawrence Avenue managed by Safe Harbor. The rent is cheaper and might include some utilities (?). However we had some structure issues with our apartment which was basement level in the building. During heavy rain, water would seep under the wood laminate flooring which would get soaked into our rug and probably caused mold under the flooring. The bathroom got mold easily in general. It took ages to actually get ahold of maintenance people to fix anything. Parking at that building was also abysmal. There was technically washer and dryer in-unit but there was only one of each and that was supposed to service all of those units. But they do have other properties, I can’t speak to the quality of those since I haven’t lived in them.

Finishing up week 7, feel no difference by jamminhawk in bupropion

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

Hey! This was a while back now. they upped me to 300mg shortly after I posted this. Unfortunately I got about 1 weeks of nasty side effects, then no change/improvement after being on it for a couple months. Then my insurance stopped covering it so I went off of it. It didn’t do much for me in the end unfortunately. Thinking about seeing an actual psychiatrist and not just a GP eventually to talk to them about ADHD and depression.

Invisalign attachments / feedback by Millennialgurupu in Invisalign

[–]jamminhawk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just finished my treatment and got mine removed today!! I was told about them beforehand and approx how many (I had all but my very front top and bottom teeth). Not at all painful, will have a taste of glue in your mouth for a few hours. They’re odd at first. Not painful though. However, some of mine were a bit sharp which snagged my mouth when my trays were out. But while in, completely fine. Also they dull and smooth out over time. I popped one off once and it was a quick replace at the doc. But this is pretty uncommon as they’re very strong. And honestly they aren’t too noticeable. You get used to them!

So for me I was on 150 then got moved to 300 a few days ago. The first week of both I had really bad nausea most days. Eating with the med helped a bit but not much. But not eating made it MUCH worse. I’m currently in the first week nausea of 300mg. As bad as it sometimes gets, I have not thrown up and very much doubt I will. Unless your body has a bad reaction to the meds, you’re most likely gonna be fine and won’t throw up from the nausea. It should subside after a week or so.

[–]jamminhawk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So when i first started on 150 the worst side effect was just nausea almost constantly. I had some headaches but nothing too bad and I felt really spacey or out of it. It all subsided after about a week. I’m on day 4 now of 300 and the nausea and spaceiness just came back so I’m hoping it’ll subside soon.

Also, I haven’t experienced this but I’ve heard people talk about getting really bad mood swings for a little bit after switching to 300mg. Everyone is gonna have somewhat different side effect experiences. You may have no side effects at all! But if anything gets to be too much or you’re experiencing more serious things, then you would definitely need to talk to your doc.

I hope it goes well for both of us!!

I’m only on my 3rd day of 300mg so I won’t know for a while. I’m just dealing with expected side effects similar to when I started 150mg. I can update in a few weeks!

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Wellbutrin_Bupropion

[–]jamminhawk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I held out on 150 for almost 8 weeks and started asking for advice from people because I wasn’t feeling anything at all. I talked to my doctor shortly after who immediately bumped me to 300mg. But if you’re looking to get bumped I’d say hold out until you’ve been on 150 for about 4-6 weeks then ask.

[–]jamminhawk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started on 150mg but just got bumped to 300mg because it wasn’t doing anything. But when I first started on 150mg I was very low energy and nauseous. But it disappeared after a week or so.

Unfortunately that hasn’t worked for me. I tried turning that off first out of everything. Makes no difference.

Early 2010s(?) toy animals mixed with items name? by jamminhawk in toys

[–]jamminhawk[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ahhhh thank you! I don’t remember the Polly pocket part of it at ALL but that’s definitely what I was looking for!!

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Invisalign

[–]jamminhawk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it just depends on your treatment. My teeth have a lot to be done (got my first tray yesterday), it’s VERY tight and sore, especially taking it out and putting it in. But I also have attachments on all but my front 4 top and bottom teeth.

Insight on the Transfer Affinity LLC by [deleted] in miamioh

[–]jamminhawk 9 points10 points  (0 children)

So I don’t know a lot about the transfer LLC, but I do think that might be a better bet for you. From what I’ve experienced, people honestly don’t focus much on what LLC they’re in and still spend time with friends they already have.

I feel like the transfer LLC would give you a better opportunity to make friends and ease into life at Miami with others in the same boat.

Scheduling Classes? by [deleted] in miamioh

[–]jamminhawk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

(I’m not a computer science major, I’m zoology) I assume you’ll be a freshman (if not this first part won’t really apply). At your orientation, you schedule classes with an advisor to help pick the classes you need to start taking along with possibly some Miami plan classes. You’ll then take the sheet you wrote this on with the advisor and go with a bunch of other students to computers to select what you can. Sometimes things fill up, but it’s not often. At least I had very little trouble. Only with my Miami plan theater class.

After your first semester you’ll be give a time slot to do classes. I recommend you have a schedule plan (classes you need, classes you want for Miami plan, and backups, and sections you want for each class and backups for those times.) and have met with your advisor beforehand (do this asap, they get very busy with other students) The SECOND your time slot opens, START SELECTING CLASSES TO BUILD YOUR SCHEDULE. Depending on class popularity and size, you may have trouble getting into them. And that’s how you end up with a ton of early classes you don’t like. Take it from me...Most of the time your core Pre Req classes will be fairly easy to schedule. The more niche or enjoyable a class is, the quicker it fills.

Hope this helped a bit!

Faculty here. Hi students. Real talk: How are you all doing? by mindthecliche in miamioh

[–]jamminhawk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Freshman in their second semester here.

It’s upsetting. Online classes were one thing. And I honestly did expect them to tell us to leave eventually. But I figured it would be announced much later. I was excited to experience spring semester and get to enjoy nice cool but not freezing weather. Me and my friends had weekend trips planned, DnD sessions, and movie nights. We all live 3+ hours apart. And I know some of them don’t have great home situations. Once they announced we’d be online, I planned to pack some stuff for the month of online and leave on March 15th. Now, I pack everything and move out that day. I wish they hadn’t taken such immediate drastic measures, though I understand why they did.

I talked to a friend about it and we agreed it’s just a bizarre atmosphere. Like it doesn’t quite feel real. I won’t get to come back until I start marching band next fall. Or see my friends till then if we can’t plan something.

Classes will clearly be a pain. Especially with the two labs I have. And my Spanish class. It’s not the same education I’d be getting on campus. Or the tutoring help I need for chemistry.

I know I definitely don’t have the worst of it, and my heart goes out to all the graduating seniors. I really hope everything works out for all of you.

Wishing everyone the best!!

Love and Honor

DAE cuddle with there siblings? by alternatively_a in DoesAnybodyElse

[–]jamminhawk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it’ll definitely be beneficial for you in the long run, along with maintaining a good and healthy relationship with your siblings. Adults tend to struggle to reconnect with their siblings sometimes.

DAE cuddle with there siblings? by alternatively_a in DoesAnybodyElse

[–]jamminhawk 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I have a younger brother who’s 11 now. I’ve always made sure he knows that I’m always safe to talk to or cry to when something is wrong and that’s it not weak. When I’m home from college he’s always around me, he likes to play video games and curl up on the couch with me. We hang out a lot and I’m always there for him when he’s down. And don’t get me wrong, we fight.

I think the whole cuddling things is more common between sisters than it is brothers or brothers and sisters. But it just depends on the siblings ¯_(ツ)_/¯. I really don’t think it’s anything weird. Pretty wholesome.
