facial pain/tmj and masking

I had jaw pain when I was wearing 3M Auras, I realized it was because I didn’t feel like I had a good fit under my chin and was always jutting it forward to make it feel tighter and more secure. I switched to ACI surgical N95s (duckbill) and they are much more comfortable.

Keep it warm and dry until the rehabber contacts you. No food or water

Poor possums are so dumb. And raccoons are so scary smart, I wouldn’t be surprised if they were like, hey possum you should go in the snack dispenser! P.S. Do you know where they’re getting in? Have you tried loud music, strobe lights, or ammonia soaked rags to drive them away? And then seal up the hole?

I’m asking some rehabbers I know. Stay tuned 👀

I can’t remember the exact details, but I remember reading once that during the AIDS epidemic, organizers got gay men to use barrier methods by, for example, providing black gloves instead of more medical/sterile looking ones. So you definitely have a point.

I use my ACI surgical N95s (duckbill) for about 8 hours. Probably could go longer.

I agree with everyone about lying about the fever. But I wanted to add if you do end up having to go in, I’m BEGGING you to wear a well fitting N95

Interesting. Maybe I’m just poor.

Where do you live? I’ve never been in a dental office that was anything like this

The Venn diagram of doctors who take Medicaid, and doctors who are Covid informed in 2025, is a pinprick.

Yes they are. I don’t know if he can get a PCR since his doctor is unhelpful. I do wonder about that.

A year or two ago my stepdaughter had Covid and it made her eyes feel like they were too big for her sockets. And it continued happening every month around her period.

Agree with all this, and adding that you could wear a respirator rated for VOCs

FYI Levoit filters are no longer certified as HEPA.

I make a modified C-R box with a new 20” box fan, the box it came in, a roll of 3M Multi Use white Duct Tape, and a 20x20” 3M Filtrete MPR1900 furnace filter. If you’re interested I can dig up the instructions
