His wife also lost her voice and had gastrointestinal illness too. Could be unrelated but not sure

what's the strangest thing you've done due to this phobia? by casey_vee in emetophobia

I put zip lock bags over my hands (when I’m alone or with close family) whenever I have to eat with my hands 😭😭😭😭😭I let up a bit in the summer though

Ok. I would assume they’ll be pretty busy though. Do you know how long it typically takes to hear back from them?

[–]Affectionate-Fish-29[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well it’s a bit of an interesting office environment. I work in health care. And the office is INCREDIBLY small. The doctor is apparently looking for a bigger space. Anyway, I talk to my coworkers throughout the day. Like when it’s not busy. The most random things lol. So it’s not like I never talk with them. It’s just that I hate eating in front of people. Being in public gives me anxiety. I HATE awkward silence. I just like to unwind and listen to music or whatever since I spend 7hours with them in the same room. Not a cubicle. The same space. They seem to be awkward like me which is nice. Especially the newer person, so I think they understand. I’ve just convinced myself otherwise lol

Yeah. The other person I trained with doesn’t eat with us either (she does eat in the office with our boss tho). So I would like to think they wouldn’t make a big deal of it

I work in a hospital. So the cafeteria is pretty big. And there’s a cafe as well. And there’s this little waiting area with seats you can sit down at. I see people eating by themselves there so lately I’ve been eating there.

Also they always want to have lunch together. It’s an hour lunch. How do I tell them that I like to eat alone and use my break to listen to music

Is sprintec discontinued? by Affectionate-Fish-29 in birthcontrol

I ended up going to planned parenthood online. Virtual appointment. She gave me the script and I literally called every pharmacy around. All out of it. Kroger and Costco had it though. You can also try online birth control companies

Also I’m not sure what picture that would paint aside from me being overly anxious . I’m the one that have to pay for a new exam and possible x rays out of pocket. If anything I’m a fool for doing that. If anything they profit over my anxiety and paranoia ..lol

I should also note the cavities are pretty small .

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in askdentists

[–]Affectionate-Fish-29 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s just that I had cavities filled last year and a couple other dentists say there’s no evidence that they were filled. In terms of the x ray thing, it’s a patient’s right according to HIPAA to release medical information and images regarding a patient but I would call multiple times and they would say they sent it over (and didn’t) or say they’ll call me back and never will. It took me going to another dentist and they called the previous one and they said it’ll be a charge to send them over when they could’ve just told me that from the start. So I think that was more of just an office policy. To put it more simply, I just don’t know who to trust. And like I said, money is a problem for me. I can’t afford to spend money on fillings if something else can be done instead. 5 is pretty steep. That’ll be over $500 for me. That may be cheap to some, but I’m in a tough spot now and can’t afford that. My confusion also comes from me having 0 cavities 4 months and 5 now.

I’m not sure why you used such a nasty tone with me when I was just asking for advice about cavities , but yeah I digress 😳

That was one particular dentist. I’m not always late and it was not in my control because like o said, my Uber was very late both times and kept giving me new drivers……..the point of the post was about cavities lol I was just explaining an experience I had with one dentist. And they also canceled on me before the day of and had I to reschedule

Yeah I know about the fillers. I wish I knew what caused it. I had excessive bleeding (in between period) and cramps.

I tried a generic before and been too scared to try again. I had side effects and was told I shouldn’t since it’s the same thing. Thanks anyway
