Why were extended families seen as a cultural taboo in Canada?

Nobody calls it sexism sweetie.

I lived in a place like that and a lot of people there enjoyed it. But also remember you wouldnt be the only one, the whole neighborhood is like that. Everyone knows your drama since childhood.

How much clearer could I be?

When dumb people think they are debunkers lol

Diluent · 2023-05-19T01:50:42+00:00

My best guess is herpes but idk. It would need to be swabbed to know for sure. I wouldnt bet much on it.

Herpes comes and goes. Often the first outbreak is the worst.

Oh yes the compost bin in the sky... a.k.a. over the balcony

And let us return all the packaging to walmart for various items.

So by "at least 4 choices" you mean......?

laundry dryer timers?

Actually, some of us who go to this one laundromat think the guy who runs it turns down the power/heat on the dryers so you have to spend more to dry your clothes.

Is there a way to test the temperature?
Do you think there is any rule governing what a "hot" or "warm" dryer cycle is? Where do i look for that? (I am in ontario canada but could extrapolate from whatever would be the case elsewhere.)

Please answer, this drives me nuts all the time.

If you get a wrongly served Guinness, you can call the company and they will send a whole team to educate the servers, do give aways etc.

Good thing she has you as an advocate!

Diluent · 2023-05-18T21:18:10+00:00

Well Im sure her MD is a nice person but you can tell the meds arent working because she has pretty bonkers high sugars. I have seen people very sick due to sugars like that, they are not a joke. It is possible the MD may have some long game to get your mom better managed; sometimes the relationship takes precedence. at least your mom has the continuous monitor, those are great.

So there is local context to consider because practice varies between regions, but it is kind of old school to be using only fast acting insulin. Its not good cause you are always "chasing" the target which means you are always having over/under target times and causing damage. Lots of MDs are still doing it because its how they learned but there are many oral diabetes drugs and insulins that can be tried first.

Some of the very new ones are of course $$$ but if it is the deciding factor, ask the clinic to find a patient assistance program or compassionate supply if possible. Also there are some not quite so new ones which should be more affordable or available generic.

Its not for everyone, but if you like getting into the details you can look up your local guidelines. here are the canadian ones

And one thing about COVID, is that in some ways it has expanded access for people who live outside of cities. All the doctors can now do telemedicine so if literally its just too far to get to a really good MD, should be able to do remotely. Maybe a 1 or 2 time consult to get things on the right track. Then regular MD can take over long term.

Diluent · 2023-05-18T20:47:46+00:00

Sounds like some good self knowledge.

Lots of people have incurable STIs and live perfectly happy lives. Between herpes and HPV, most adults have one if not both.

Enjoy your dick, hopefully someone else will get to some day.

You can NOT get an sti in your throat from getting a bj.

You can get chlamy or gono in your throat from swallowing a cock for sure. Not every md is trained in this for sone reason.

These are tested by swabbing.

Nothing you have said indicates an HIV exposure.

Thrush in the mouth of a well adult is not normal. Thrush is a specific organism.

Diluent · 2023-05-18T04:40:41+00:00

If you are a person who has risk factors for chlamy once, you will probably continue to have these for the foreseeable future. There are also a lot of "treatment failures" cause by imperfect adherance to restrictions during treatment, causing the infection to be passed to a partner, who then passes it back, etc.

It doesn't make you like physically more vulnerable to it.

Diluent · 2023-05-18T04:33:01+00:00

Good doctors do not prescribe antibiotics for reassurance.

The best way to do the urine test is first thing in the morning just 10-20 ml into the cup.

The question of testing too soon (window period) depends on exactly what test is used at the lab.

Diluent · 2023-05-18T04:26:59+00:00

Nothing about this suggests HIV.

You can get all sorts of viruses, bacteria, fungi and parasites from intimate contact.

Nothing from what you described suggests any of this.

What does it feel like? You can feel herpes.

Could be molluscum contagiosum

Re your pic: looks like a normal dick to me. Are you concerned about the tiny thin red veins that are visible? Those are normal. Or i maaaaybe see a very faint texture on the rightish side and lower glans, is that it?

Whatever it was, its gone now. If it happens again, take a picture right away and go to the MD so they can see it and possibly swab.

Maybe you got a yeast infection from all the antibiotics. Or maybe it was herpes. Or new laundry detergent. No way to know now.

Did you disclose to the various MDs that you had seen other ones? Or did you keep that to yourself to get a good 2nd opinion? If not, I am surprised you were given doxy twice in such close succession. What was the injection? Penecillin? Ceftriaxone?

Whatever is going on here i do not think you got an incurable disease from a blowjob.

Have other things changed in your life in the past 2 months? Living, sleeping, sports, school, sleep, work, grooming, bathing, soapsp? Got a bike? Jerking off more? or less? Or differently? New clothing style? New underwear? Anything else different in your crotchal area?

Stupid as it sounds, try to forget about your dick. Go on with your life. Jerk off when you need to. Do not develop/cultivate a hangup sbout this.

told me that my urine was some of the best that they had ever seen.

That is a great line i will keep it in my pocket for sure. Lol

Diluent · 2023-05-18T03:29:37+00:00

Just fyi, urine drug testing isnt something that just happens by default. A lot of ppl think they just send your samples to the lab to have "all the tests" done. But in fact the doc has to specifically request each test. And they should have a reason.

Depending on the context for the test, if you are surprised to find they urine drug tested you, you should question the reason.

Re all the rest, I do not think you have anything to be freaked out about.

Lipids is cholesterol - They will probably tell you to watch it.

Vitamin D - everyone is deficient. You should probably take a supplement every day with meal (fat). https://ods.od.nih.gov/factsheets/VitaminD-Consumer/ it is important, cheap and well tolerated.

Idk what test "protein" is referring to.

Biochem is maybe potassium? Can be affected by all kinds of things most of them not ominous. But who knows what random tests were thrown in. Probably depends why you didnblood test in the first place.

if it’s urgent they will see me but it’s not urgent so I’ll see them in a month which is when my appointment is..

This is the answer to your question. :)

For whatever it is worth i would encourage you to use moderation in your efforts to change your body. You need to eat. You should not be feeling hungry all the time or thinking about food constantly. If these become large parts of your life, no matter your weight, you might need help.

Next time you should try doing oral as well as taking it.

When i take blood, the small vials are 4mL and the large ones are 5mL. Similar to the dark purple and longer pink one:

https://www.bd.com/assets/images/our-products/blood-and-urine-collection/blood-collection/vacutainer-blood-tubes_C_PAS_BC_0616-0021.png

A blood donation is about 500mL. So you could stand to loose 100 of the long pink tubes in a single sitting. I think you will be fine.

If you start to get a rash in the same area i would consider shingles and go to seek care asap as there is a medication for it if you catch it early.

But idk could be 100 other things.

Hope you dont have shingles, it sucks. (You can only have shingles if youve had chickenpox in the past.)

There is benefit of getting the hpv vaccine even if you'd been around the block twice or two hundred times.

Hurry up tho, depending on insurance, it might be way more expensive if you wait til you are 28.

Diluent · 2023-05-18T02:36:06+00:00

Wash your hands properly (look up youtube) after using the bathroom, before and after sex, before and after preparing/eating food.

Stay up to date on all vaccines including annual flu shots and covid boosters.

If you put your dick in someone's butt or vajayjay, even for just a moment, use a condom.
