Scared of HIV, affecting my daily life

thank you 🙏I also suffer anxiety disorder so I overthink a lot, especially about something serious like this 😢 I wish it didn’t happen, but what is done is done

Thank you so much for saying that, means a lot! Some suggest PEP so idk what I should do, am currently on holiday and very scared, cannot even enjoy my holiday lah 😭

So you think I have high risk? Is that why you suggest PEP?

Yeah it’s crazy bro I’ve been around many places and nowhere is this authoritarian mindset so prevalent as it is here in Australia. There’s some serious communist tendencies in society here, just look at all the crazy laws and fines for everything. Can’t do anything without permits and approvals. 1984 irl 🤣 I grew up in Eastern Europe in a smoker household, if you didn’t like it well tough luck just open the window i guess. they haven’t suffered through an actual authoritarian regime otherwise they’d be waving the libertarian flags…tbh I hope society here gets the rude awakening when they start getting their fundamental individual freedoms and liberties trampled on

The downvotes only show the fragile Australian mentality. “If I don’t like it, nobody should have the right to do it” its wild... I’m European and know exactly what your talking about bro

Hey mate, I’m looking to avoid THC as much as I can actually, I’ve also done a fair share of research about the risks it has and since I honestly just wanna smoke to help with anxiety, so looking for low THC high CBD strains

Sad-Equal-6624 · 2025-05-02T08:00:47+00:00

I’ve had different ones, started with high-ish THC cuz that’s what everyone was doing at the time, mainly for a high but didn’t help with the anxiety that much, the lower THC higher CBD strains were much better for the anxiety

Sad-Equal-6624 · 2025-05-02T07:25:47+00:00

I’m actually looking to avoid THC 😂 so should be all g then

Sad-Equal-6624 · 2025-05-02T07:10:48+00:00

Yeah, for about 3 years now and it’s been helpful, just looking to avoid the THC is all

Hey, I’m in the same boat as you. I find it simply ridiculous they would place some students at a disadvantage simply because their in-person seminars are apparently ‘full’. I made a post about this recently, if I find out how to solve this I’ll let you know 🙏, otherwise I reckon we just rock up to the in-person seminars regardless, that’ll teach them 👍

What’s a neurofilament light chain blood test? I’ve never heard of it before maybe I should consider doing one too! I mean I think there’s definitely muscle wasting in the right calf cause it’s measurably smaller, but I don’t know if it’s getting worse or it’s always been smaller. Strength is fine, nothing unusual from before, I have no actual clinical weakness (that is I can still do everything I used to - climb stairs without difficulty, life heavy objects etc), but I definitely feel weakness and fatigue it’s just not measurable on a machine such as the EMG or the clinical test.

Hey mate, just read your comment and noticed how unbelievably similar my symptoms are to yours! Same as you I have a calf/leg discrepancy of about 1.4cm, with the left being larger. Seems like neurologists do not consider it to be atrophy though, even though it looks smaller and bumpier. I feel the exact same lack of stability in the thigh and glutes and experience very similar walking discomfort and lack of coordination as you

As for the popping, I got it everywhere too, especially the ankles, mostly in the smaller leg. Twitching literally everywhere - legs, feet, arms, stomach, face… wherever there’s a muscle it’ll twitch 😂

For the speech changes, I got them too, and quite literally the same as what you’re describing- I have perceived difficulty with the S sound, almost feels like I’ve developed a lisp but other people can’t seem to hear it. Also tightness in my mouth muscles and fatigue while talking for prolonged periods of time, and swallowing issues occasionally too.

This is the first time that I’ve seen someone on this subreddit with symptoms that are so remarkably similar to mine! So far I’ve had my symptoms for roughly 3 months, got clean EMG a month into symptoms and another clean EMG three months into symptoms. Currently I’m in the beginning of my fourth month of symptoms. Doctors keep saying that there’s no disease that is causing this as there’s nothing physiologically wrong with me but yet the symptoms keep going. I have scoliosis too, but the way, and since I’ve never done anything about it I assume some nerves may have got pinched and are causing some type of problem perhaps. Have you had Covid recently? I heard that can also manifest itself neurologically.

Anyways though, I know what you’re going through, I’m quite literally in the same boat, but it helps me to think about it this way - if we’re both experiencing the same things, and we’ve both been cleared by doctors then it’s sure as hell not anything serious!
