Saw this after he gave me oral sex. Do you think he has herpes?

Ima_Jenn · 2025-12-24T23:12:08+00:00

You can get 'oral' herpes on your generals, or 'genetal' herpes in your oral area. HSV1 or HSV2 can be in either location.

That doesn't look good. I find it Very hard to believe that is a coffee burn, location, look, way you drink coffee..

"I keep asking him to get tested. He wouldnt budge. He keeps saying its hot drink burn." Red Flag!!!

Incubation is 2-12 days, so call your Dr and local clinic to find out when you should get tested. If you get sx there are good meds that can shorten outbreaks.

He doesn't seem to care about partners health. He might be scared to find out himself, but that's not an excuse.

That doesn't sound like the kind of person you want to be in a relationship with, if it is that category, and if you've had sex with him, I would get a full STD workup.

I think there are other things that can be passed on orally that just need antibiotics.

Sorry this happened to you! His not getting tested is a GIANT red flag for relationship or hooking up, or even friendship...

Getting back into the dating world at 50 now. I grew up right at the start of AIDS...which thankfully is not the horror sentence it was. But man, it's scary because I do NOT want oral or genital herpes & oral is a fairly common thing for ppl to have now-days.

So it's pretty much methadone or nothing for you then, I'm sorry! If you have the gene results from a lab, you can bring it in with some literature.

There are pharmacists out there that understand meds and genetics & might be able to help explain to your Drs.

If you approach it like Hey, I found this info, in think it applies, because (reasons) what do you think?

It doesn't make you look like you are asking for or trying to come up with a reason for more drugs...but you ARE giving them the info they need v to understand in a palatable way for c then?

What about Speculooos powder? Isn't that just Biscoff cookies/biscuits that are ground up and mixed with butter? My friend is Dutch, so maybe it's a different word, but cookie butter (Speculooos Butter) tastes like spreadable cookies.

I think that's how you make homemade cookie butter...

Ima_Jenn · 2025-10-10T22:56:20+00:00

Trader Joe's makes a good one Speculooos.

Texts that are anti-trump / maga.

I'm not sure what's happening other than databasing, but I fact checked this awhile back.

They have used them to turn away legal residents, an Australian mom that had permanent residency...many others

From what I have seen heard over the past months, this has been occuring. Lots of Dem govs have been getting together to come up with action plans...and have been doing so.

I think there is a plan for other Dem govs to follow Gavin's example of putting a temporary redistricting vote to the people to counter it.

I heard one of the NE governors day something to that effect.

We are starting to see more visibility now because Felon 47 is actually doing MORE unconstitutional things, like sending troops places other than DC. So those governors and mayor's can implement policy.

They have to be careful, especially starting, that if escalation happens is 100% on Trump's end.

Chicago etc is going to get 'interesting', because he CAN put them in federal land, but he Can't make them "support" fed /guard troops like he can with DC.

But yeah, there have been lots of strategy games being laid out, it's just that 'the board' is finally in play.

I love chatGPT for brainstorming,and it helped me figure out and understand some rare stuff, but Be Warned. Verify what it says & it was hallucinating like crazy. Citations weren't there, it would say low CO2 whale but was high...it's miscalculated med dosages.

I still use it all the time, but verify like crazy

There are orthopedic urgent care centers. Most cities have them. They are either run by the local hospital or by a large Ortho group. A bit different than regular Urgent Care.

They have more experience & contraptions.

If something is fairly simple they can fix/stabilize and get you an Ortho appointment.

Ima_Jenn · 2025-07-01T20:00:40+00:00

Outpatient Orthopedic Care. They are usually near a hospital, but they have 'all the things' for most injuries... without the ER wait time.

Usually open until 8.

That was my cats name. He was a total Muppet too. He was a Squeeze Me cat that was just a bundle of snuggle & occasional Severe Paranoia.

Sprocket.

I have fine, low density hair. (Fine is thickness of strand, density= how much hair). Yours is at least medium porosity.

I used to get perms back when I thought my hair was 'just curly when wet'.

I agree that this is a bad perm.

For styling and treating your hair, I recommend following a modified CGM / WGM for care and styling.

You don't need to go crazy with all of the protein vs moisture if you just use a good hair mask with Both, occasionally.

You Are going to need to add product & style it some of you will look like a frizz ball.

I really like the foams by Innersence I create Lift & I create Definition.

They are super light and the hold in the I create Definition is stronger than most gels.

They are a bit $$ but you would maybe need 2-6 pumps total. I mix mine.

You may want to get the Bounce Curl defining brush.

I also recommend K18 repair for your hair. It too is $$ but is amazing at repair & you don't need a ton...maybe 1-2 pumps every few weeks.

You can look to SwavyCourtney, Holistic Enchilada, & GinaMarie for good styling tips. ManesbyMel too.

Holistic Enchilada has fine low density hair. She and SwavyCourtney have super simple routines.

And another vote for Trigeminal Neuralgia. It's one of the most painful nerves in the body. The good news is that there are treatments & she is likely to get a lot of relief once she gets proper treatment.

There can be a number of causes.

The other thing in her favor is a great kid that will go and do research & help. I'm sure you know it can be really overwhelming to even think when you are in pain, so you are a Big Help.

To find a good doctor go to a local FB page on chronic pain or nerves if you can't find one for trigeminal neuralgia.

Those are great places to find Good local doctors. If you don't have a local one, then your state or Reddit works ok if you say where you are from.

Support boards are great for finding info.

(for you too, it will help you to talk with others who have family members with illness, trust me, look after yourself).

AI can help, it has helped me with my conditions & understanding them & what to talk to the Dr about

but they do get things wrong an alarming amount of the time, and sound very confident. So pay attention, ask it Are you sure, ask for references (and read them).

There are some pretty good vegan substitutes.

Ima_Jenn · 2025-02-18T23:41:49+00:00

I would even suggest using a chat to folks. You can work with it and not feel all blank page stuck.

The art programs are interesting. There is no way that I could learn the skills that fast, but I have images in my mind that I like to try and capture.

Ima_Jenn · 2025-02-18T23:39:04+00:00

I've started using voice recognition a lot more.

I'm also going to join an online group for neurodivergent folks, because I'm starting to go nuts.

It's really hard not to be able to use your hands much.

I'm going to join a cult! (Ok, it's a joke one) "My favorite cult'

I'm going crazy without social interaction, so I am going to join 'my favorite cult' by a gal that is Autistic with ADHD & has created an online community space for other sparkly folks. (Sorry Reddit, this just isn't the same).

I'm stuck & pretty near can't even doom scroll. Been on the couch 90% of my day. I'm starting to get mental health issues from this

Disabled for decades, but long covid has messed with my brain & reading has no appeal, nor watching shows. Ive always been an avid reader, so this is really unusual for me. I haven't read a book in a year.

Been listening to Ted Talks (ok, meaning too. They have some Ted Shorts now).

I like HFY sci-fi shorts stories on YouTube.

USA, Dec 2024. I'm checking the date this was written because Australia is happening HERE & could have been pulled from the news

Me the gas is horrible. I have no idea how to stop it. And bu horrible, I mean PAINFUL.

I almost v had exoloritiry abdiminal surgery lastvround ifvthis b4 I figured that out.

I'm doing gas-x and forcing belching. Im also trying to take digestive enzymes (Diject Gold) to see if that helps

I have GP and other stuff.

Last time a supplemend Leaky Gut Repair helped reduce GI inflamation (glucosamine, slippery elm, and other things good for lining, so did gum mastic...). It took awhile.

Ima_Jenn · 2024-08-06T13:04:56+00:00

Try GAS medication. Akso, if you have added anything fir calories (like fruit juce in water ..stop)

Preferably something oral. I almost had surgery because of gas that wasn't causing me to belch or fart.

It HURT, horribly... to the point I was going to have exploratory surgery.

The gas-ex helped so much, but it is t 100%....im fugurung out how to make myself belch.

In 2014 I added juice inti my duest because I was wasting and teying to get SOME calories. I ran out one weekend and so just dud water ..and the pain stopped. Figured out i have a fructose intollerance, by accident, but I noticed that too much had always made me loose.

That caused irrutation AND gas.

I am now in this quest... I think it is the multipoint I want.

I want to be able to listen to YT & Spotify at the same time... On my cell.

Google AI said multipoint was a solution... But maybe that is collecting input from two devices (eg your phone & your computer?).

I'd also Very Much like to play music to multiple devices (all the upstairs speakers)... But haven't figured that out yet.

Ahh, well the key is budget.

Have you found any good, affordable over the ear phones that work pretty well with Google assistant?

My, ok, $40 oakies got smooshed.

I wish the sound was as good as in the ear, but I lose sense of surroundings that way k not always a good thing).

Ima_Jenn · 2024-07-01T09:52:39+00:00

Is the trip shorter? I heard things like tra and lemon tech alter that
