U sure that's not your thyroid glad?

Yes I have. Drink LOTS of water (seriously don’t put down the water bottle all day), suck on mints and sour candies, and wait a couple weeks. It should pass on its own. If it doesn’t go to a doctor and they can give you antibiotics to help out.

I went in to my doctor with a bulge on my neck (during my first week of work, so embarrassing) thinking it was a thyroid issue and they couldn’t figure it out. Only my dentist finally figured it out and sent me to the right guy.

Yup. Get some sugar free lemon sweets and suck on them throughout the day. Or add some of that lemon powder to water and drink. It’ll go away on its own. The sour flavors help you generate the additional saliva you need to pass it. Also, incorporate some into your routine every once in a while to keep the juices flowing so it doesn’t happen again

Did you guys have pain? I don’t have any pain or swelling, just a weird pressure when behind my jaw. Gets a little worse around eating time and after. Dentist thinks it’s a salivary gland stone, but not big enough to cause a complete block.

Mine was jus below the jaw with swelling. Other than that sounds similar.

I have them - pain. Sharp pain. Dentist told me to drink water and stop chewing gum.

I’m around 21 weeks and have been dealing with a lot of leg, tailbone, back, and general muscle pain. Since I do work long hours Monday- Wednesday (10hr +) I’m trying find a comfortable chair to switch to. Any recommendations? Currently I’m switching every hour or so between my kneeling chair and standing.

I’ve been going through it this month. Was on Buspirone for 4 weeks which caused a n of depression. Now I just started Zoloft and I’m feeling extra anxious and hypersensitive. One of my colleagues made fun of an idea I suggested and I’m taking it way more seriously than I should. How did your journey go to get on meds and adjust to them? I hate feeling so up and down.

How would you handle not getting a lunch break when you are a salaried employee treating patients for 40 hours a week?

My commute is an hour each way, so I’d prefer not to make my day any longer. Advice?
