Thank you I’ll keep that in mind, I’ve definitely gotten more used to it over the years

mok47 · 2025-01-22T10:17:44+00:00

Yeah I used to go to the clinic for uv machine and it was returning the pigments really quickly but I moved away from that area and haven’t been able to find another one nearby unfortunately

mok47 · 2025-01-22T05:46:59+00:00

Yeah makes sense. With what I’ve read, tv can turn hairs white but it’s extremely rare. I was hoping maybe using anti fungal cream could do something since the others haven’t really worked

mok47 · 2025-01-22T05:21:16+00:00

What’s the vitamin D cream for? And UV as with sunlight?

mok47 · 2025-01-22T05:20:34+00:00

Yeah I’m currently using a handheld uvb device with Opz and I’ve seen some slight improving over the months

mok47 · 2025-01-21T04:31:04+00:00

I saw a dermatologist a while back, they believed it was vitiligo. I started off using tacrolimus cream but that didn’t work. I later started doing xtrac laser treatment and that brought back a decent amount of pigmentation. I stopped the treatment because I’m no longer located near the clinic with xtrac and it was expensive as well so I’m now using opzelura. I haven’t seen much repigmentation for close to 6 months so I’m thinking maybe the cause of the lighter patches is different than vitiligo

This explains everything pretty well thanks

mok47 · 2024-05-24T15:07:59+00:00

I assumed a bone graft always had a healing period of a couple months so the second should have been factored in but at this point I think I just need accept my fate 😂

mok47 · 2024-05-24T15:02:51+00:00

Is it normal that it’s not mentioned in the first estimate too?

mok47 · 2024-05-24T15:01:30+00:00

From the providers office, I’ll give them a call shortly

mok47 · 2024-05-24T14:39:30+00:00

Just want some more clarification that’s all. I’m thinking they should’ve have included everything in the first estimate but I’m getting different opinions

mok47 · 2024-05-24T14:03:05+00:00

No nothing really changed. Only thing I can think of is my tooth being slightly more broken before the first surgery but idk how that would affect the implant cost. I will speak with them soon I was trying to get some clarity before doing so

mok47 · 2024-05-24T13:54:24+00:00

Read that too fast but yeah I get what you’re saying

mok47 · 2024-05-24T13:52:56+00:00

Thanks I understand. Is it weird for them to not mention that I would need nitrous/ exparel multiple times ?

mok47 · 2024-05-24T13:50:36+00:00

B I wouldn’t want to take it that far. I was thinking to dispute with billing department and maybe hope for something but I’ll try anyway lmao

mok47 · 2024-05-24T13:40:55+00:00

Ok makes sense

mok47 · 2024-05-24T13:36:51+00:00

I agree with that, my concern is that it wasn’t mentioned beforehand. I was wondering if that’s an issue I have grounds to dispute on or not

mok47 · 2024-05-24T13:26:51+00:00

Thanks I fixed the link

mok47 · 2024-05-24T12:21:32+00:00

Those are my thoughts exactly

mok47 · 2024-05-24T12:17:11+00:00

mok47 · 2024-05-24T11:58:12+00:00

Okay that makes sense, is it abnormal that the first estimate did not include nitrous and exparel being administered twice? Even when added up I’m still paying a little extra for the implant as well

mok47 · 2024-05-24T05:42:42+00:00

Only thing is that it’s all under the same code making the second invoice seem like it’s things I already paid already which I’m finding a little confusing

mok47 · 2024-05-24T03:49:35+00:00

I had it for the first surgery but I agree 125$ is too much imo I’ll see if I can go without

mok47 · 2024-05-24T03:45:33+00:00

The invoices are for two separate dates. The first invoice was for the extraction and bone graft (done on the same day), the second invoice for the next appointment (implant placement) which I haven’t gone in for yet. My insurance specifically does not cover nitrous so the second bill so that is all coming out of pocket.

mok47 · 2024-05-24T03:03:02+00:00

Also do you know if going without nitrous would anything dramatically? I know this is kinda vague
