I have found a lot of potentially relevant stories that I may make a separate post about for fun but one I came across recently was this website (that seems to be one of the only sources I can find when I try to research it lol) about the existence of dental assistant clowns and the act of tooth pulling being seen at fairs.

Tom found the pliers in the tooth game at the inn, which was so far the first and only time we've seen the clown.

Obviously you can tell there's some homage to stephen king all over that and in many aspects of the show, but it made me curious about if this was related as well! Even if it doesn't fully mean something, I wonder if it was another homage.

Teeth are found in a lot of aspects of things like witchcraft too so the purpose there could really be anything!

I was just curious about where clowns could fit in with teeth since that teeth card game and the run card game seem relevant considering the "not yet not yet not yet not yet" in the run cards was the same font as patricias book, the teeth game only had pliers.

Heres the info on the tooth pullers assistant clowns!

Would love to find some more info on that just for fun because I'm intrigued lmao

Has anyone tried spironolactone for their pmdd and had any success? What was it like for you? Ive tried so many birth controls, antidepressants and antipsychotics to absolutely no avail, and I don't know how much longer I can handle how severe my pmdd is.

Especially since it's basically constant, I get about a day MAYBE two where I don't feel like i'm being controlled by hormones/pms and have ovulation cramps basically every week out of the month, it's getting incredibly exhausting.

The irritability, short fuse, exhaustion, large painful chin breakouts, brain fog, severe depression and SI are getting so draining to be stuck with. I have tried so much over the last decade to improve including more lifestyle focused solutions and none of it seems to help at all (often makes things worse for some reason).

I know there can be more going on but i've done so much testing and had so many ultrasounds/CTs but nothing is ever found.

I have seen some describe Spironolactone as one of the only other medications used to help pmdd other than birth control and wanted to try it as a last ditch attempt to be at least slightly normal for once. I know it's really something you just have to try to know since it can be different for everyone, but I just wanted to hear some experience with it to be more informed. :/
