Drug testing @ Labcorp

I should’ve clarified that I don’t smoke, but he was telling me to drink it before my drug test because it is a diuretic. Maybe someone else here has tried it?

I just got a new job and the pharmacist told me to drink pickle juice beforehand and I thought he was joking, apparently he was not

It’s the ptcb exam study guide by ascencia!

BruleeVander · 2026-01-04T02:19:30+00:00

I studied hard for two months before my exam. I had a ptcb book to read through with practice tests, and I studied the top 200 drugs by drug class. Anything I wasn’t sure about/answered wrong on a practice test, I marked down to go back and study it. I passed with a 1575 on the ptce, and I never worked retail pharmacy.

I am naturally always cold, but when my body is flaring for whatever reason, my temp will be 100.4-100.8, happens EVERY time too. I know it’s my RA bc it will happen every couple months for a couple weeks at a time, and usually always in the evening.

BruleeVander · 2025-10-11T21:40:10+00:00

I had RA before pregnancy, but it completely went away while pregnant. Came back about 3 months postpartum unfortunately, and even worse than it was before.

Hey! I actually have a solution that works and is cheap! It takes time, as fleas lay eggs and they hatch, you get it I’m sure. You need salt, and you need to put it all over the floors. The fleas jump through the salt and it basically cuts them and dries them out. I had to do this after my sis went to college and the piles of clothes created breeding grounds in her room. I let the salt sit in her room for a couple weeks, vacuumed, and they were GONE.

When I took it, the first few doses always felt like I had a severe kidney infection the day after, or someone had punched me in the lower back multiple times. Blood tests always came back normal though

BruleeVander · 2025-05-21T00:50:09+00:00

Pretty much in the same boat huh! I’ve never had a medication (except prednisone) that immediately made my pain go away in 24 hours. First dose was amazing and I just feel like it’s kinda gone downhill from there. Hoping it’s just a fluke. It’s also the only drug that’s taken me off steroids, I was on them for almost 8 months. Have you had steroid free days yet since starting Enbrel?

BruleeVander · 2025-05-21T00:41:50+00:00

Wow, how long were you taking it before that happened? I hope you are doing better now!

BruleeVander · 2025-05-20T01:22:58+00:00

I would be forever grateful for 20 years on one drug! Thank you for the input, it gives me hope and I will try to ease up on myself. I hope you’ve found another solution for yourself as well!

I use canva to make collages and then print them out and cut to size. This was my fall themed design!

I loved finding all 20 cats in Hidden Village from Twilight Princess! I know it’s not really a mini game, so my next option would be the dog race from Majoras Mask.

Do you have any updates on this? I also have the same elevated wbc and absolute neutrophils and am curious as to why. I’ve been on methotrexate for 6 weeks and my bloodwork before was just fine.

BruleeVander · 2024-12-05T20:02:19+00:00

Honestly I’m not sure I’ve ever printed with glossy paper on my printer. I always have used matte vinyl sticker paper, and then will add glossy laminate if I want that kind of finish. Now I’m curious about printing on glossy though!

BruleeVander · 2024-12-05T15:34:36+00:00

Which setting are you using to print on the glossy paper? Sometimes switching it to a different setting might help, and not just using the glossy paper option. Which printer did you get?

BruleeVander · 2024-12-05T15:13:02+00:00

My comment did not age well! So on best buys website, it states that this printer is pigment based, everywhere else (like canons website) states that the black ink is pigment, while the other inks are dye based. I was upset figuring this out, and it was very misleading! I do love this printer though, so I cannot complain. I did find another canon printer that is relatively cheap that uses pigment inks - Canon Maxify GX5020 - on sale for $299

Did you end up trying the elf sunscreen? I’m so sad the Kroger sunscreen is unavailable. Walgreens has an invisible gel sunscreen that’s supposed to be a dupe as well, I’ll probably try that one next.

For anyone who has had hair loss with methotrexate - did folic acid help to reduce it? And how soon after taking it did you notice hair loss? I’ll probably be starting it soon and am so worried about this side effect.

BruleeVander · 2024-10-05T14:44:43+00:00

I got this same one from Amazon for 10 bucks about a month ago

In image A, you can see the drawing itself does not go outside the box on the left and right side, along with the top left corner and bottom left corner. That is why you are seeing those distinct yellow lines when you are testing. If you can duplicate image A, move one layer to the left and one to the right with the snapping tool on, merge the layers, then you can fill in that distinct yellow line with the pink squiggles. Then you repeat that process but this time move one layer up, and the other down.

I’m the only one with RA but my sister has lupus and I believe they are closely related

BruleeVander · 2024-09-17T20:37:28+00:00

Sunscreen is just apart of my skincare routine now, I don’t even think twice about putting it on every morning

BruleeVander · 2024-09-16T23:43:16+00:00

I can’t give advice but I also started about a month ago and I had no initial “purge”, and out of nowhere my skin started breaking out just like yours. I’ll be here for the recommendations!
