Oil pulling itself doesn’t benefit your oral health. What does is you taking a sudden interest in your oral hygiene, and rinsing very fucking thoroughly (often also brushing far more thoroughly too).

Cut sugars (even natural), cut acids (anything sour, tart, fizzy - yes even sugar free pop!), brush with as high a fluoride concentration toothpaste as you can (e.g., clinpro 5000 or neutrafluor/duraphat 5000), floss and use interdental brushes, don’t graze, manage your gastric reflux and dry mouth… Taking on board at least some of these will improve your oral health.

And for whitening, the whitening steps from crest/oral b work well if your teeth and gums are healthy and clean.

If we aren’t, we’ll wish we were…

The problem comes is the suggestion of travelling to destination X (in your case, the Bahamas) doesn’t just pop up out of thin air - friends may have travelled there recently, perhaps there has been a recent advertising push, etc.

Another family member looking up some destinations to travel, then speaking with you later - same external IP of the home wifi being reported, bam you get advertised the destinations they looked at the most.

Choosing a “random” topic again also doesn’t come out of thin air.

Last I heard 2035 was already going to be pretty crap, 2050 was unlivable.

As other comments have said, deal with the origin of the pain first, THEN…

If it’s bad enough to take meds but not too bad, then one 500mg paracetamol and 200mg ibuprofen (my go to for pain). The paracetamol will generally be one with some caffeine in it.

If it’s a BAD headache, then 900mg aspirin.

I do have a headache hat which is kept in the fridge.

That is literally how you are supposed to play Dixit.

Don’t get into stranger’s cars, and don’t give out your real name or number or address on the internet.

Now you do most of these things when you call an uber. 😅

Not just that but I’ve seen posts mocking the captain for being a lesbian, and wokeness for why the boat crashed.

For anyone worried about this, you can ask for a bite block.

Antibiotics and other prescription medications are more often prescribed to older folks, so the increase should be seen in those populations, not primarily more in younger populations. It is unlikely that antibiotics or other similar medical interventions are responsible for the phenomenon seen in the op article.

Also, as a prescriber, I do warn my patients of the dangers of taking antibiotics willy nilly. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Get a proper sleep study, see an ENT and sleep physician, if you are overweight lose some, sleep on your side.

Snoring is produced by soft tissues vibrating when they flop where they shouldn’t (i.e., blocking airway).

It is thus indicative of reduced airflow, which can result in negative health outcomes - including yes, brain damage. The full condition is called obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA), but there are other conditions like upper airway resistive syndrome.

From the pictures I see online, it looks like an over the counter mandibular advancement splint (MAS). MAS are used for management of OSA, but only per the prescription of a sleep physician, who needs the results from a sleep study as well as an examination of the patient.

Not all OSA sufferers will tolerate let alone benefit from a MAS. There are drawbacks and side effects with a MAS that may not be discussed with all patients, let alone purchasers of an OTC product.

I have a custom fitted one, and even as someone in the industry, I find there are certainly limitations to it.

When I was playing Mario kart I kept trying to look up and I ended up with my head tilted all the way up. Not sure if I’m just not used to it. 😅

Eyes felt fine, but I probably played for an hour at most tonight.

They work well with my Samsung phone (DeX is detected), the cable is a bit annoying but I can understand why it has to be the way it is.

Quality is pretty decent. 3d mode does work too, but I think I prefer my quest2 for that.

True, but I travel out of the free tram zone and also see very few people tap on there too.

Thanks!

Which eSIM do you buy for the EU?

Putting aside whether it’s normal for you to be experiencing aging so early*, you should still see another PCP because they didn’t manage your actual concern: “I am experiencing issues functioning day to day life, and would like a plan to manage this”.

It would have been one thing if the doctor had said “yup, just you, so let’s get you into an assisted living arrangement now”, or “I’m fairly certain this is just your shitty genes, but to rule out anything else, let’s send you for X tests and see the Y specialist”.

From your post, it doesn’t sound like that was the case.

*The joke goes that after thirty you don’t get injured, you get permanent disabilities.

Not sure how much it will bother you but I’m certain they’ll be found on AliExpress and eBay.

Maybe even a dollar store, it seems the sort of thing they’d carry.

The original link I sent is an automotive store, the kind that sells oil and wipers and towball accessories. Maybe you have something like that near you?

Got a picture?
