10 years to get to a phase 2, god damn. What a joke Hough is when it comes to actualizing their products. They should have spun their research department off into its own biotech a long time ago, because holy shit, this is just embarrassing. and this is coming from someone who believes in the...

Hey Steph, this could be an endocrine issue. Can you get checked out for things like Cushings? Cataracts and hair loss are sometimes symptoms, and it’s better to treat sooner than later. I’m sorry you have to deal with this on top of the t. Having more medical problems get thrown at you is...

Yes, I still do. Nothing has really changed.

@Ed209, this is super random but can you pick a number for me between 1 and 15. I promise it’s not for something weird.

It absolutely sucks doesn’t it. Every medical procedure feels like navigating a mine field when you have shitty cochlear problems. The person who received the local didn’t have any hearing problems, hyperacusis or otherwise. But I meant more that they seemed to tolerate the local pretty well...

You said 45 degree angle correct? All four of mine were growing in at 90 degree angle so fully impacted on all sides. For my case, I had to get them removed or face severe occlusion problems later on in life (not just cosmetic) due to my small jaw. I had mild tinnitus and it didn’t affect it at...
