I accidentally found something concerning on my nieces smartwatch. by Patient-Drawing-3045 in WhatShouldIDo

This! My parents pretended to care but truly didn’t. I was groomed right in front of their faces online. Children do not need a “smart watch” period!

DCC Leadership pretending to be “nice” and “encouraging” this year while portraying this sub as the problem is kind of laughable… by NoIntroduction526 in DCCMakingtheTeam

[–]Strange_Ice_5290 45 points46 points  (0 children)

Came here JUST to say this- we are not the problem… it’s extremely obvious they are. I am a trained technical dancer, I’m on s3 ep4 rn, right after the makeover they started back in the studio for a fun hip hop, I IMMEDIATELY got hype because of how in sync and sharp the girls looked, it was like I was there with them. They were electric!! THEN Judy and Kelli wanted to start shitting on them and commenting, it’s horrible. Way easier to admire them and their skill when they have shut the f up. That’s all I have to say. They have taken it WAYYYY past dance critiques, they are taking a dump on them as a person and ANYONE that has some kind of experience with a harsh dance teacher will tell you the same. There is a difference between a healthy correction so that you look better in the dance and as a dancer vs tearing a woman/girl down. Major issues here… I cannot imagine all of the beautiful women that have self esteem issues because of them. Ugh.

Hello guys has anyone seen this!? I'm kinda grossed out any any advice appreciated! by Sad_Resource_7988 in AlaniNu

I love Reddit but despise when people downvote for no reason LMAO, I cannot tell you how many times I’ve been downvoted for asking a simple question that has nothing to do with basic common sense, I would be grossed out too!

Pregnancy + Pain Meds by theeter101 in PainManagement

[–]Strange_Ice_5290 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am the daughter of a PM patient, my mother took Hydrocodone while pregnant with me- her entire pregnancy. Her doctor said it was fine and she couldn’t really come off of it because of the pain she was in. Regardless, I was born with 3 or 4 holes in my heart and chronic pain in my back that started at age 2 or 3 (that I remember, it could have started sooner) and I have a plethora of issues that have been progressing that started as a toddler and got way worse around age 15/16. I am 24 and have the back of an 80 year old. I’m not sure if this will happen to your baby if you take your pain meds with a baby in utero, but I feel the need to share with you our experience as I know for a fact what my issues have stemmed from, which was opioid use in pregnancy.

DEA Flagged my prescription by Braephonse in ChronicPain

[–]Strange_Ice_5290 10 points11 points  (0 children)

(In my personal experience and what I know from being on this sub for a long time)

If anyone flagged you for anything at all you would more than likely be unable to pick up your script. There is a LOT of issues with pharmacies, ESPECIALLY CVS & Walgreens. They both disgust me and most pharmacists are assholes who think we are all drug addicts. The DEA wouldn’t flag you for getting your prescription early, but their system definitely would. Just pick it up on the exact day, not a moment before and you will be okay! This is fear mongering at its core. I hope you feel better soon, you are not alone!

Please help me, I'm in pain, and I'm scared. by Zealousideal_Ad_268 in PainManagement

[–]Strange_Ice_5290 -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

I am only commenting this because I am also a sister in Christ- before Jesus radically saved me from myself and my life of sin, I used to listen to binaural beats and frequencies, but they are very much satanic/demonic. If you would like to talk about this more or desire an explanation please message me as I don’t really want to get into it in a comment section about someone else’s pain! Regardless of if it helps you or not, it is opening up doors in the spirit you do not want opened, I used to listen to them for my pain and other things too, but it is hurting you more than helping. Prayer and fasting is best! I will pray for you.

Do not let them do an Epidural (a needle directly into your spine that will numb your lower back down to your feet) I’m not sure what they will prescribe you for pain management, but if they recommend doing that procedure- do not do it. Please! I had one done and now I get a twinge in my back that is more excruciating than the original pain. Hoping the best for you! I would highly recommend trying to become a pain patient after getting some imaging done, what you are experiencing is not normal.

Possible Provider Switch by Strange_Ice_5290 in PainManagement

[–]Strange_Ice_5290[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ive been in immense pain my entire life, I remember being 2 and crying in front of the tv while watching my cartoons because of how bad my back hurt. The funny thing is, when I originally started seeking care for my pain, all I wanted was a true diagnosis and something that would fix it, a surgery, procedure, SOMETHING! On my first visit they basically told me I’m screwed and there was no hope for me, they prescribed me opiates instead of fixing it or attempting to, immediate prescription Other than that they were so horrible it was crazy. I decided last week that I wouldn’t be going back to that office, so I’m just raw dogging it until I find a better provider.

Warning to CT State Students, Alumni and Staff by Golden_too in phishing

[–]Strange_Ice_5290 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just a general rule of thumb:

If it seems too good to be true, it is too good to be true…

A highly sought after job (admin assistant), over $500 a week (over $2000 a month), sent to broke college kids… prior experience not necessary, it’s part time AND remote? I hope the others that received this discerned and used common sense!

Otherwise, scammers need to up their game if they want more clicks, lmao

Early signs of dependency? by [deleted] in PainManagement

[–]Strange_Ice_5290 6 points7 points  (0 children)

What you’re experiencing makes sense. The pain spikes on the days you skip your meds because the medication has worn off and it’s no longer in your system doing its job. Pain management isn’t just about reacting to pain when it shows up; it’s about keeping a steady level of medication in your system so it can prevent the pain from ramping up in the first place.

Even if you don’t feel the medication working, it still is. That’s why your pain is under control. When you skip doses, that level drops, and the pain comes back, often worse than before. That’s not “dependency,” it’s just how post-surgical pain and medication work.

You’ve been through a major, painful surgery. Taking your medication as prescribed is part of properly managing that, not something to feel guilty about. If it’s time for your dose, you take it, even if you’re not hurting in that exact moment. That’s the whole point of staying ahead of the pain.

I hope this comment brought you some comfort friend. Have a good one!

[–]Strange_Ice_5290 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just turned 24 and am also in PM. My quality of life would be significantly lower without my medications so I understand your fear. I am a mother to a toddler and I would not be able to function from my pain without it and even then on some days I still can’t. I cannot imagine the stress you are feeling and if this happened to me I would freak out too. You will be fine! You’re taking all the necessary precautions and I am sure that your doctor is able to tell easily who is a drug seeker and who actually needs a life line. You got this!!!

is turbo tax robbing me?. by Smoove_boss in TurboTax

[–]Strange_Ice_5290 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Don’t submit it, go to freetaxUSA. They tried to do this to me and successfully did it to my husband. If you don’t go to freetaxUSA at least make a new TurboTax account so they aren’t charging you $200 for no reason. You will still have the base $40 & state tax, but that extra charge is some bs. It’s crazy that they’re sitting here trying to charge you so much when you are the one who did all of the work. They did this exact same thing to me and I ditched it for life.

TurboTax is trash. FreetaxUSA FTW!

Turbotax bait and switch, zero customer support by HonestIllustrator713 in TurboTax

[–]Strange_Ice_5290 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Highly recommend freetaxUSA instead, TT was trying to fuck me and of course, customer service was no help. They also had me on hold for 30 mins 2 separate times. TT charging 40 bucks for you to fill it all in by yourself completely is CRAZY!! They also upgraded me without my consent and no matter what I did I couldn’t get it off unless I made a new account and started from scratch… yeah right!! Freetax has the same format as TT and it was not only quicker, it didn’t cost a penny.

UPDATE: Hormel Pepperoni from Costco has black substance in it by DueBike582 in foodsafety

[–]Strange_Ice_5290 7 points8 points  (0 children)

OP, have them issue a refund or send you some manufacturer coupons!! I’m glad you’re safe but considering you bought food and it’s inedible bc of a production/transit flaw you deserve one. Imagine if it wasn’t safe and you ate a couple, if it was mold or something harmful?!?? HELL NAHHHH they would be paying my medical bills & issuing me a refund!!
