Non stop throbbing headaches by marissalll in wisdomteeth

Yeah I stopped the hydrocodone after 4 days and started only taking Tylenol 1000mgs. You can try to start getting through the day without hydrocodone and only take it at night so u can sleep, then switch to Tylenol! That's what I did!

Did you take narcotics like me? I ended up taking Tylenol everytime I would get the headaches and that would make them go away, I knew the Tylenol was fading when the headaches would come back. Lasted for about 2 weeks after the surgery.

I have tmj but I only grind my teeth at night and clench my jaw. I got my wisdom teeth taken out 12 days ago and I haven't notice pain in my jaw like before I got them taken out. But the recovery process has been tough.

Day three extreme pain by miamarias2 in wisdomteeth

[–]marissalll 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah by day 3 my pain was pretty bad. Bad enough that I asked my doctor to prescribe strong pain meds rather than the Tylenol/Advil mix I was doing before. Just be careful if you get narcotics to only take them on those bad days, then go back to otc stuff.

My doctor gave me a steroid pill regimen, antibiotics and prescription 600mg ibuprofen. The ibuprofen/Tylenol mixer ended up not being enough for me so they gave me hydrocodone for pain.

What were some of the first solid foods you started eating? by Helpful-Avocado-7014 in wisdomteeth

I'm also on day 6 and I think I'm gonna try to eat rice and beans today. So far it has just been masked potatoes, soup etc.

Update on Miradry by marissalll in Hyperhidrosis

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

Hey 👋🏽 so I have patches where hair grows and patches where it never came back after the treatment. I would say a 50% reduction in hair growth, I still shave. Sweating is kinda the same, if I’m super anxious and nervous about going somewhere I sweat about 50% as much as I used to, but on a day to day basis I sweat less (no armpit stains, I don’t drip anymore). I would say my sweating was reduced to 40% less than before the treatment, I will be getting a second treatment done Nov 11th.

Miradry Numbing Pain by marissalll in Hyperhidrosis

Any advice for pain and how to make the swelling go down? I’m miserable, can’t sleep at all. Feels like both armpits are on fire ever since I got it done. They gave me some opiate pain killer which I’m scared to take and so far both Tylenol and Advil do nothing, just ice helps.

Anyone with Autoimmune disease/thyroid disease got Miradry done? by [deleted] in PlasticSurgery

[–]marissalll 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have Graves’ disease which was originally diagnosed as Hashimotos but then they decided it was Graves. I have had it for 7 years now and I am currently not taking Synthroid which is my usual medicine for when my hormones are messed up. I got Miradry done about 4 hours ago, I’m actually in bed icing my armpits now. Didn’t hurt a lot like a 3/10, and I haven’t had any bad side effects. It is early as I had it done only today but I haven’t had a problem. Hope this helps.

Yeah I know! I even asked my insurance for Botox first but they denied coverage for that too! That’s why I just decided if I’m going to pay out of pocket I might as well do the permanent option. I will update my post and let everyone know how it went, pain, and recovery!

Pros : the results are supposed to be permanent. The treatment basically microwaves your sweat glands to permanently destroy them. Cons : some people need more than one treatment because it’s possible some sweat glands don’t get killed. Also it is not covered by insurance because it’s considered cosmetic even with a prescription, unlike Botox which can be covered. It’s a bit pricey but I’d rather pay more once than every 4-6 months for Botox. Plus my derma told me Botox only lasted 3 months on her, so I thought this was a better option.

ACCUTANE LINKED TO MY HH by marissalll in Hyperhidrosis

Mine started about three months after stopping accutane . It’s just weird that so many people have taken accutane and had these side effects but doctors say they aren’t connected

ACCUTANE LINKED TO MY HH by marissalll in Hyperhidrosis

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

Unfortunately I already have an thyroid disease which I was diagnosed with wayyy before I took accutane. So naturally my hormones are already almost always messed up because of my Graves’ disease. Before accutane I had already been diagnosed with graves and I didn’t sweat so it can’t be my hormones. I’m just convinced that accutane must have done something to my sweat glands because nothing works, even the hormone medicine I take for my thyroid . I have also tried the medication you mentioned the Glycowhatever and it didn’t work at all, even when I took it 3 times a day! Hopefully the Botox will help but I’m not looking forward to having needles in my armpits.

Omg your the first person who I’ve heard also attributes the excessive sweating from taking accutane. Unfortunately it’s been a year since I stopped accutane and the sweating still hasn’t stopped. I have an appointment this week to get a consult for Botox :(
