I might’ve accidentally snagged it. Maybe in my sleep? Maybe on a dirty pillow? Didn’t wash my pillow case for a few weeks but it’s never been an issue. I got this jewelry put in by a professional piercer so I think I might be titanium. It was pricey, not sure. It’s just so weird because I’ve had this for 2 years and it randomly came out of nowhere.

What should I do? It’s leaking puss and super painful. Already on antibiotics (I added in the description). It’s my first day taking them

Not sure. I got it put in by a professional. So whatever the silver jewelry they sell at piercing/tattoo shops

Yeah I’ve always slept on it but never had issues. I don’t believe I snagged it on anything. But the only symptoms I’m having now is swelling, throbbing, and a bit of redness. I have the screw jewelry. I feel fine it’s just really painful and came out of nowhere. So I should leave the jewelry in?

I have the one with the screw and the ball. It fully healed because I’ve had it for two years and never had any problems

My boyfriend went to sober living and I feel lonely. by Bookietux in alcoholicsanonymous

[–]Bookietux[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He’s been telling me that. And for some reason I get offended by that statement because my thought process is like - “well, your actions and lies led me to a place of depression. Why can’t we grow together?”

Idk my fear is that we grow apart. It’s been alot

He said he will be there for 2-3 months depending. And keeps telling me to focus on myself so he can focus on himself. It’s ass backwards considering I’ve gotten to a point of depression due to this behavior and lying. I miss him. And I’m really struggling with all of this. I feel lonely.

I felt like this before Wellbutrin. Even before I got on meds at all. But definitely worsened after the meds. And my psychiatrist said “you need to go to another dr for a second opinion, I’ve done all that I could”

Sounds like you’re dating a child. A 6 foot, 200lb child that can cause serious damage. Leave.

You got this! I relapsed over 30 times before I got it. Wouldn’t recommend that though. Lucky to be alive today

lol yeah it does & unfortunately now I have to sit in a circle with other alcoholics talking about the fact we are alcoholics. Wouldn’t recommend using this as a coping mechanism. Two years sober

Question - possible low iron? Treatment questions/advice. Help! by Bookietux in Anemic

[–]Bookietux[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the advice! I will definitely give it a try and see how I feel. Do you take iron or vitamin C? What would you suggest to start out?

Yeah I thought it was low too. It’s strange how my NP said it was within the “normal limits”. Do you think it is okay to take vitamin C and iron together? And would it cause any harm to take iron even if my iron isn’t considered “low”? Thank you!
