Did the tricyclic help? I just went to the doctor and explained that I thought my dizziness was a result of tmj. She has been pretty adamant that she thinks the dizziness may be a migraine symptom (which could be true, too). I think I have them all. Anyways, she prescribed be a tricyclic to start and I’m a little hesitant.
It’s been a little over a week since I tried it and it’s helped about 50% for me it helped relive my neck pain since I was really tensed up and some of my jaw and headache went away but I am on the lowest dose which is 10 mg. So far it’s helped more then anything I’ve tried in the past few months, but I am also still thinking it’s not all the way gone because of TMJ which is where the night splints come in to help with me clenching a lot.
Sorry late reply and yes for about a week or 2 it made me feel out of it I was napping a lot I’m now up to 25 mg it has helped about 50% but I notice if I don’t stretch everyday it makes everything worse as far as the headaches and neck pain.
Hi there I am also a 2nd test taker currently waiting for my results I did think this time it was easier regardless if I pass or not. Good luck to you ! 🍀
I feel you on the cna it’s so draining and how some of the nurses talk down to you just made me want to quit nursing all together I failed my NCLEX last month but I know we have to just pick ourselves up and keep going the test doesn’t define you or how good of a nurse you will be just know you are not alone and don’t rush it if you don’t feel ready that’s what my teacher told me so I’m just trying to go my own lane .
That’s good to know! I think I know where I went wrong too. It shut off at 104 questions. I read online that it happened to a few people that they paid and they ended up passing. They just couldn’t get their refund. But I’ll update you when I find out. What question did it shut off for you?
I did this trick and unfortunately I failed :/ but please don’t give up wait for your official results I was told that the computer grades it then a actual Person will grade it and determine if you failed or not. I was really discouraged but if you didn’t pass keep your head up and keep going !
Where I work if you are suicidal you are placed with a 1:1 observer to make sure there is no harm to self it is like that at a lot of places from what I’m told.
It depends if you say you are suicidal you have to stay where I work and where I worked at other hospitals it’s usually the same. You have to stay until you’re deemed you’re not a threat to yourself and they have therapy come work with you and Counselors while you are staying at the hospital you can still eat and drink the cafeteria food. And you will still be treated the same and given medications for any pain or discomfort. Once they let you leave you have to be taken my an Uber or can driver or someone can pick you up
If it was afrin that spray can cause rebound try using a steroid like Flonase that is a steroid it’s supposed to help with inflammation but you have to find what’s best for you everyone is different and has different side effects for me I think afrin is great for a last resort if you really need to breath out your nose but my ent speacilist recommended Flonase or Nasacort
I did it a few times and it was something along the lines of invalid card/ declined payment, contact your card company. I cant remember what it said exactly but i knew it was the bad pop up bc it said payment declined
It’s okay to feel discouraged, i know how u feel. Take some time for self care and then start up again when ur ready. Keep ur head up, it’s definitely not an easy exam for anyone. Manifesting we both pass the next exam ✨
Thank you that means a lot and you too I know it doesn’t define us as a nurse or person it was very hard I got mostly pharmacology and I studied so many other subjects I didn’t think I would get tested on so many medications
Similar issue here been having bad post nasal drip and sinus issues for over a month and I never have allergy issues till recently. Sinus rinses help Somewhat but getting that nasal scope isn’t bad I had it done about 4-5 times they numb you with a spray and you don’t really feel it just the numbing spray takes a few hours to wear off
I had liquid and it works just as good it’s just in a different form then the pills it taste very gross though that’s the downfall because it’s super strong just make sure to have water after you drink it
The first week I got 1-2 hours of sleep it’s honestly the worst I know how you feel but just hang in there ! It has to get worse before it gets better. If you would like I could send you a picture of my throat if you want to compare how yours looks. I have a picture where mine was really white back there.
Hi there sorry to say you’re going through the worse days it was bad for me days 4-9 was probably the worst, for the ear pain honestly nothing helped with that other then the narcotic and heating pad, I only took it a few times when I was in really bad pain. As for the scabs it’s gonna be white back there for a while that’s normal until you start scabbing, it’s hard to tell but you will be able to feel that you’re scabbing when the white starts to look crusty, once they fall off you will tell cuz it’s gonna be a painful feeling when they start coming off because it’s raw and it has to basically scab again or heal.
Agreed Aloe water is a must, sonic crushed ice you will thank me later it’s a life savor , pudding, jello mashed potatoes, take your meds on time you will thank yourself even if you feel okay just take it if it’s time to, I slept elevated the first 1-2 weeks it helped because you’re gonna be so swollen you’re gonna need to sleep upwards for a while, popsicles, heating pad and ice packs and almost forgot do yourself a favor and get a cool mist humidifier it will prevent your mouth from drying out when you’re asleep
Your tonsils look infected I would go to the dr if it’s a bacteria infection they can give you antibiotics to treat it but you see all that white around your tonsils that could mean a infection
Before your procedure they gave me something for anxiety made me calm down a lot right before the surgery just mention it to them they will give you something in your Iv for it ! It helped alot hope that helps
Sorry you have to go through that no I have a tonsillectomy + larngroscopy which is surgery on your vocal cord. For the swollen uvula that lasted about a week for me try and chew lots of ice to help with that swelling and ibuprofen if you’re allowed to take that my ent said I could for inflammation. For the ear pain I recommend a heating pad they have some on Amazon or Walmart and I would do ice on the neck and heat on my ears and yes sometimes my ears would pop or hurt when I would swallow the heat helped a lot though alone with the Tylenol and ibuprofen
I am also looking for a newly used car but I’m not sure what cars have low insurance in Phoenix Az ?

That’s great to hear! Any drowsiness?

I am also allergic to amoxicillin and took clindamycin, only thing is take it with food as it can be very hard on your stomach.
Congratulations 🎊🎈!!! (:

Milo’s tea it’s very sooth and doesn’t leave a weird after taste like a lot of teas do
I’ve been a CNA for 5 years and physically can’t do that kind of job anymore. Idk if I should just quit nursing all together

Did you eventually pass yet? I also didn’t wait very long after my test probably 30 minutes
No I am still waiting to retake it and I did mine within 30 min as well but just wait and see I heard it’s not 100% accurate
Where I work if you are suicidal you are placed with a 1:1 observer to make sure there is no harm to self it is like that at a lot of places from what I’m told.
Will they call someone to take you home or do have to stay.

I’ve only used it once and it caused that. It was a typical nasal spray from CVS with phenylephrine
If it was afrin that spray can cause rebound try using a steroid like Flonase that is a steroid it’s supposed to help with inflammation but you have to find what’s best for you everyone is different and has different side effects for me I think afrin is great for a last resort if you really need to breath out your nose but my ent speacilist recommended Flonase or Nasacort

Arizona 🙋♀️ I am in need of study partners
I’m down! I need some motivation
Yes same :/ I failed my NCLEX I have to retake it I could use some motivation
I’m down for zoom ! I would always do sessions with my classmates located in the US .
I did it a few times and it was something along the lines of invalid card/ declined payment, contact your card company. I cant remember what it said exactly but i knew it was the bad pop up bc it said payment declined
Oh no I got the same pop up :/ looks like I failed too feeling really discouraged but I know we just have to keep tying and take it again
