I really oughtta go, but I keep pushing back my appointment because I can't seem to find the nerve to actually walk through the door.
Hey, have you ever gone in to see the specialist at the Mayo Clinic? I'm dying to know how long they keep you there and if it's actually painful or what.
Look, I’m not claiming to be some kind of medical expert either, alright? I'm just saying I'm out here spreading the word about this cream. In my book, using a topical stuff is way better than swallowing a bunch of pills every single day anyway.
Look, don't get mad at me, but this stuff works for some people and totally flops for others. Thank God Perrier actually did the trick for you, because honestly, I’d be thrilled if it worked for me too, but I guess I’m just not one of the lucky ones.🙄
Look, I don't think you ever truly get rid of this stuff for good, but if you actually stick to a decent diet, you can definitely manage the symptoms and keep things under control.🙂
I dealt with all that while I was pregnant. Honestly, it’s all about what you eat—if I go overboard on certain foods, they flare up, but if I use the cream, they clear up pretty fast😢
Look, if you know someone running an Avon side hustle, they usually have some decent jeans lying around, so you might as well go see if you can snag a pair to try on🙂
From what I can tell, he’s already dealing with inflammation, so he definitely needs some cream. He could probably pair that with some Perrier, too. I tried drinking the stuff myself, but honestly? Total waste of time. My bathroom schedule is still all over the place.
Honestly, just stick to the ointment and those little patches, it's way easier, faktu. Once you get through the first two rounds of pain, it starts to die down. Just don't go taking any hot showers, okay? It'll just trigger more inflammation and make everything worse.🙂

The internet is just flooded with these ads, right? Every single one claims they’re the absolute best, the "gold standard," whatever... it’s all noise. 🙄
That’s why you can’t trust the hype. You gotta go by word of mouth. It would be killer if more people shared actual experiences and dropped names of private practices that actually know what they're doing!!!!! 😉😁
My dentist isn't even a private practice, but he’s legit. He’s constantly cracking jokes, keeps things light, so you basically forget you're even terrified.👍👍👍👍😉😉

honestly, maybe they've got herpes. seriously, just go see a doctor. it's stupid to be debating this here. if someone actually wants a real answer, they should just pick up an encyclopedia and stop wasting everyone's time.🤷🤷☕
Karen Ortiz83 said:Ugh, I need a recommendation too. The thing is, I am TERRIFIED of going to the dentist. I forced myself to see this one dentist before, but it was a total train wreck—she’d schedule me twice a month for like five minutes at a time, refused to even touch a second tooth until the first one was totally done, and she was just so cranky and rude... especially when I’d admit I was scared or in pain. Eventually, I just gave up because after three months of working on one single tooth, she decided it was "too complicated" and told me to just get it pulled. Then she suggested pulling the neighbor tooth too, which she hadn't even bothered to look at! Her replacement tried to help, but the original lady wouldn't let her continue until the first tooth was finished... absolute nightmare. 👎 Now my teeth look like they went through a literal war zone, and I'm even more paranoid than before. 😢😢 It's high time I start some damage control.
Can anyone recommend a dentist who actually knows how to deal with anxiety? Someone who actually wants to *save* teeth instead of just ripping them out? Ideally, someone who can knock out a few things in one go—like two or three fillings, or at least move along the treatment so it's not just a series of five-minute traumas stretched over years. Does such a person even exist who takes Medicare? Private clinics are my absolute last resort because, honestly, the bill would probably cost more than $10000...
My advice:😳 Go to the police academy; they have a great dentist there. He’s got tons of patience, he doesn't lose his cool, and he actually gets you in without making you wait forever. His name is Hrvoje Blazic and he takes Medicare.☕👍

Look, quit being so worked up. Facts are facts—use that cream, like I already told you. It’s for hemorrhoids, which, let's be real, can be a total nightmare. And just wash down there with lukewarm water, because hot water is just gonna make the inflammation worse. Also, about that whole mess we made at the start... my bad, seriously. 😉

Not sure if you saw my DM, so I'll just lay it out here. Look, Pfizer doesn't manufacture this stuff—it's basically one of those old-school home remedies everyone knows. You can take it orally, but if you're going the rectal route, you absolutely have to coat it in Vaseline first because it ruins your vision. Seriously, I might end up popping an eyeball out here... 😂
