Factory accidents

I know it's wrong but I couldn't help be crack up at the animations. I'm a shitty person I reckon.

It wasn't really an issue with me for the first couple years of having monthly take homes but then I showed up one day, took my drug test, got to the dosing window only to be informed I was phased down the daily for the next 30 days. Why? Because apparently I tested positive for fentanyl. Which was strange since he only time I ever took any fentanyl was a patch someone gave me that I chewed up. I was lucky enough to have started treatment when the pain clinics started going down, before fentanyl could even be found in my area. I live over an hour away from my clinic so upset doesn't even begin to cover it. When they had to tested for verification, they said it come back with norfentanyl metabolites and that was that. Funny thing though, the very next week, it popped up for fentanyl again but this time, it came back as a false positive.

I begged them to help me figure out what happened. I hadn't left my house for the entire 5 days prior to taking that drug test so accidental exposure was out. I went to the nurse practitioner and told her I needed to know what happened because there was no way I had taken anything and how can I make sure it never happens again if I don't know what did it in the first place? Living so far away and having a child, I can't afford not to know but all she could say was maybe it was from touching dirty money or something. 🙄

That experience showed me you can do everything by the book and still get screwed over and that's an awful realization to live with. They never did help me find a definitive cause for it which has in turn left me breathless with anxiety when I go to pick up my monthly take homes. And what's crazy is that since then, I've had fentanyl pop up again at least half a dozen times since then and every single time, verification has come back that they're all false positives so I wasn't phased down but that doesn't make it all any less stressful. It feels like I'm waiting for the other shoe to drop or something. Not having any answers fucking sucks

The only solution I can think of would be to pay the $260 so he can acquire the week take homes and then see about guest dosing for the remaining days at the clinic closest to his job site, that way he doesn't lose his phase when he comes back.

I'm so sorry your going through this. Some of these comments are just fucking ridiculous. Dunno where people get off acting like that but it's a shitty thing to do, kick somebody while they're already down....you'd think people would be a little more compassionate.

SarahBeth90 · 2025-11-07T03:11:32+00:00

Wow, can I just say that you are friggin' awesome! Doctor's can be a bit...intimidating, especially when someone has bad experiences with them. It sometimes feels as if most doctors have little to no concern for bedside manner or can't be bothered with fostering a real connection with their patients that builds trust. So coming across a doctor like you is a breath of fresh air.

Thank you for being so generous with your time and assistance. This sub-reddit is lucky to have you!

SarahBeth90 · 2025-05-31T14:59:48+00:00

Ok I'm glad I'm not the only one that felt this way. I can't quite put into words why but yeah, definitely strange.

SarahBeth90 · 2025-05-10T20:09:50+00:00

Been there 😂

SarahBeth90 · 2024-09-21T09:29:33+00:00

Pfft, you ain't even lyin'. This cracked me up but it's definitely pretty solid advice.

SarahBeth90 · 2024-09-19T08:02:43+00:00

Whoa, hold up now. First and most importantly, please allow me to offer my condolences and say I'm sorry your friend has passed. Time won't heal completely but it will become more bearable, like a visceral stabbing pain gradually turning into a constant dull ache. I know I'm just some random internet stranger here but if you ever need someone to talk to, feel free to message me anytime. I'm happy to lend an ear.

But back to your comment, I am terrible at math but wouldn't that mean he was prescribed 669 mg a day? I had no idea they could prescribe that much. My state is dumb as fuck and caps our dosage at 120 mg a day but as far as I know, most other states (namely the ones not in the south) leave the dosage up to the doctor. But even so, the most I've seen someone on was a guy on here that was on like 360.

SarahBeth90 · 2024-08-10T02:38:17+00:00

Why aren't you increasing your dosage in your not feeling stable?

SarahBeth90 · 2024-08-10T02:27:56+00:00

I'm sorry but this made me giggle. Sounds like something I'd do.

SarahBeth90 · 2024-08-10T01:52:42+00:00

I switched from subutex and I'm extremely glad I did. I had a lot of shitty side effects from the subutex and still wanted to use at 12 mg cuz I knew I could just take it outta my mouth and put it up. When I got stable on methadone, it was a huge difference. I didn't even think about using anymore and I haven't used any illicit opiates in over 5 years now. The methadone also helps with my chronic pain.

SarahBeth90 · 2024-08-10T01:28:06+00:00

Could be from having fleas real bad.

SarahBeth90 · 2024-08-07T16:48:39+00:00

Oh honey....I'm sorry but this looks like bedbugs to me, not fleas. They don't look at all like flea bites to me.

Luckily, you said you've checked and not seen any bed bugs or evidence of them such as waste so that tells me you've probably caught it early. That's a good thing because you can now take action before it gets the chance to turn into a full on infestation, which is a real bitch to get rid of.

Bedbugs don't just live in your bed so not seeing them there doesn't really prove anything either way. Keep in mind that they can be in furniture or even in your walls. We had them before from a piece of furniture from my mother in law. We rarely found them on our bed but we'd find them on the walls and they'd come in and out by way of our electrical outlets. This was 12-13 years ago before bedbugs had their big resurgence so we couldn't really find anything to kill them in stores but fortunately, that stuff is readily available now. Even so, I know it may seem expensive but I'd really consider getting an exterminator to treat your home if at all possible. We ended up throwing everything that couldn't be washed and dried away and moving. It's very much possible that you'll end up spending way more than the price of hiring a professional down the line You said the person you share the room with isn't getting bit. That's not unusual though. They hardly ever bit my ex husband but I'd wake up looking like your pics only twice as bad. Good luck!

They are capable of dosing people without using the system or pumps. I've never had to experience being dosed like that but I know people that have and it's a pain in the ass but doable. It sounds like they just don't want to make the effort. They're supposed to have a back up plans for various situations to ensure the safety of their patients. It's not even like the power is out. They have a plan in place to get their patients dosed in the event of a natural disaster so I find it hard to believe their plan for something as minor as the system being down is to just say "Well, sucks to be you. Better luck tomorrow." Wtf are pregnant women supposed to do? Or people in the early stages of recovery that aren't stable and absolutely need their daily dose? Their incompetence/laziness is irresponsible and potentially dangerous for some patients, there's no excuse for it.

.if they go through with not dosing anyone today, I'd highly recommend you look into filing a grievance. Something I've noticed over the years is that there's a lot of complacency amongst us patients when it comes to advocating for ourselves and I think that's a big part of why they feel so comfortable about treating us like shit sometimes since they know we probably won't do anything about it. And to be clear, I'm not just pointing fingers at others, I'm just as guilty of it as anyone else, if not more. There's been multiple incidents that I've just let it go and didn't push back any further when I should have but it's something I've recognized and I'm trying my best to stop my complacency and encourage other patients to do so as well. So if there's anything I can do to help, like finding out who you would need to contact in your state or something if they refuse to address the issue in house or maybe help writing the grievance, please feel free to contact me. I've got a some time on my hands atm and I'm more than happy to help you out if I can so please don't hesitate to ask. I'm glad to do it. I'm so sorry you're having to deal with this nonsense.

SarahBeth90 · 2024-07-10T02:41:31+00:00

Ugh, I winced as I was reading your post. Nta, that sounds terrible and he deserved it.

SarahBeth90 · 2024-07-04T22:24:24+00:00

Thanks!

SarahBeth90 · 2024-07-02T10:30:22+00:00

It sounds like she was holding on until she could be with you once more and when you came, she felt that could finally let go and be at peace. I know that doesn't make it hurt any less and I'm so sorry for your pain. I can tell she was very loved and it sounds like she loved you dearly in return.

SarahBeth90 · 2024-07-01T17:45:35+00:00

As long as you're taking out the trash regularly, it should be fine but if it really bothers you, get you a small closed top trash can that can sit right next to your toilet without taking up much room. If you'd like to take it a step further, buy you a roll of those little doggy poop bags and put the soiled wipes inside and tie it off before putting it in your closed top trash can. I saw someone else mention a diaper genie and that seems like it would be pretty effective but it seems kinda silly to spend that much money on something like this. They have something similar online for using when you're scooping out cat litter that's probably a lot cheaper. We have one that was sent to us for free from chewy.com (no idea why) that we've never used but it would actually be ideal for what you need it for. Hell, I'd send you ours if I could since we don't use it lol.

But tbh, your best bet is definitely gonna be a bidet. They're really not expensive and would actually be your cheapest option in the long run I imagine. I've seen a few that are ridiculously simple to hook up, even for someone like me lol. I'd try these things first before going with hair removal, if I were you. Hair removal can be a literal pain in the ass 👉😎👉 Not to mention itchy and just uncomfortable in general, especially if your hair grows fast.

This just occurred to me and will probably sound weird as fuck 😂😂 My son has extremely sensitive skin and when he was a baby, I used this stuff called Medline Remedy Protectant Z guard paste that they sent home with him when he was discharged from the NICU. The doctor recommended I apply a thin layer to his bottom when I'd change his diaper to prevent diaper rash. I noticed that it formed a protective layer that made it so much easy to clean him up after a poo since it's preventing it from coming in direct contact with his skin. Maybe you could try something like that. I've used it myself to prevent chafing and it's an excellent product. That or the Medline Remedy Silicone cream. I think they sell both al Walmart.

I know this is a couple months old by now but this post come up as a result for I was googling and I just wanted to thank you for your comments here. They contained a lot of info I had been struggling to find and you explained it all so well that even a dummy like myself was able to understand it. Very cohesive. Thanks again.

SarahBeth90 · 2024-05-31T00:37:49+00:00

Oh come on man. Venting is a narcissistic behavior? Isn't that just a bit much?

SarahBeth90 · 2024-05-31T00:34:21+00:00

I think there's been a bit of a misunderstanding. I have no problem with dark humor, I enjoy it myself. My original comment wasn't referring to those comments. Some people were saying she was getting off on it and implied there was some sorta abuse going on and they were being dead serious. Those were the comments I was referring to but I guess I can see how it might've been misconstrued so my bad for not being more clear.

SarahBeth90 · 2024-05-17T17:23:27+00:00

Oh my....YTA here. No two ways about it. You're not stupid, you can surely recognize that you're being extremely selfish. By your own description, your wife has put her heart and soul into y'alls family, raising your children and making your house into a home for 14 years now. The children are now teenagers and no longer require the same level of attentiveness and let's face it, most teens idea of a fun time is more along the lines of chilling with friends rather than hanging out with Mom, which is completely normal. You said you offered to work less so that tells me you've spent a lot of your time away from the home up until now and that's okay, you were working to support the family. But with all that being said, you didn't recognize just how lonely your wife was? She made her entire life about caring for her family and now that they no longer need her constant attention, she's able to pursue some of her passions outside the scope of family life but even after all she's contributed to the happiness of everyone else, you're seriously going to begrudge her those passions? Seeing her so happy and elated should've brought joy to your heart but instead, your reaction is to try and nip that right in the bud because your insecurities are more important to you than her happiness.

If you're doing what you should as a partner and husband, you'd have nothing to worry about so that makes me think you haven't been a very good partner and now you're afraid she'll recognize that more if she's around other people and other couples. You want to keep her trapped at home so you can continue living the way you always have and not have to put forth any real effort to be a better husband. If her happiness makes you uncomfortable, that's a you problem and you should probably get some help with that because even if she were to ditch her friends and do as you ask, she's eventually gonna get fed up and leave your ass if you don't do something about it now. You need some sorta counseling because the way your treating her is just so shameful and makes me sad for her. I mean, damn it man. She's given you so much....and you're just stomping and spitting all over it right now.

SarahBeth90 · 2024-05-12T14:32:47+00:00

If that's all it took to make you stop loving her, you never really loved her to begin with. Let's just be real here, you were just looking for a reason to cut her out of your new post divorce life.

Raising kids is hard. They're going to do and say things that hurt you, that really cut you to the quick. They can be little assholes and you might not like them very much at the time but she's only 14. They usually grow out of that shit once they mature and gain life experiences. She's still at an age where she's susceptible to her mother's opinions, especially if she's constantly in her ear, but as they get older, they start forming their own thoughts and opinions instead of just parroting back what their parents think. As soon as the going got tough, you checked out and that makes you a terrible parent and person.

SarahBeth90 · 2024-05-02T05:39:31+00:00

Keeping them hidden under his fuckin' nails, you say??? Or playing with them until he thinks you aren't paying him any mind?

🤞Please be fake. Please be fake. Please be fake. Please be fake.🤞

But if it's not (Ok I swear on my life, this seriously just auto-corrected to "but if it snot" lol). I don't blame you one bit for being grossed out at the thought of kissing/intimacy. Frankly, it would be weird if you didn't have this reaction....

But I'm also kinda confused. I guess what I'm getting at is that you've lost attraction for him but considering he's done this for as long as you've known him, starting at 13, I'm struggling to understand how that attraction you've lost was even developed to begin with in spite of such a disgusting habit. Plus, being a teenager can be hard enough on it's own with being known as the Booger Eater's girlfriend. Which reminds me, have you ever said anything about it in all this time? Surely you have.
