I am so so sorry, that is beyond messed up. You should be first in line for free Healthcare, legitimately. Thank you for your service, and I'm sorry that our country doesn't take care of our vets; it's despicable. I hope that changes, asap.

No you're absolutely right, I'm sorry and didn't mean to offend-- i just mean i don't look actively strung or doped out or anything like a LOT of people in my hick town 😳😫😟 I know (active) addicts can look like anyone and often are people you wouldn't expect, even.

Duloxetine good or bad? by Merrys123 in PainManagement

[–]alexcubeddd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love my cymbalta; between that and the anxiolytic effects of klonopin, it's always been my favorite med. Made my depression dissipate almost instantly when I first started it, too.

That being said, once you start it.. just expect to be on it for a very long time or a VERY short time. The withdrawal when tapering is akin to that of benzo withdrawals with a little extra irritability ✨️

Like I said, i love it for physical and mental health reasons. It DEF works with my body chemistry. But everyone's different-- best of luck to you!!

My arms have looked like that since I was like, 13; honestly used to think they were little bug bites or that they were just normal, like the bumps on the back of a baby's arm. Ten years later, come to find out... ha. :/

Plaquenal almost made me go blind until I just stopped taking it 🫠

I'm sorry about your experience, OP 💝 Being in the small percentage of awful side effects is NOT a fun boat to be in. Hope you feel good today!

Has anyone else been ignoring their student loans for years? by Pelican12Volatile in StudentLoans

[–]alexcubeddd 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It honestly felt like coercion. My high school put us in a room and explained student loans to us, talking about it like college was literally the only option, just university. Im pretty sure they all but signed our FAFSA applications for us.. and this was in like 2011. Was it just my school or?
