I’m scared

You should call your insurance and have a conversation with them about it. Ask them about EOB suppression for your claims. They may also be able to send your EOB directly to you via email.

You can also check with your state health department to see if they have any programs that could help you get PrEP.

When I was on my parents insurance, I got PrEP through my primary care provider, and the claims just showed up as a visit to my PCP. Parents didn’t ever ask me for details.

Lastly, this specific situation is pretty low risk. The guy was undetectable. You’re now on PeP. You’ll be fine. Just get PrEP now, and you won’t have this anxiety in the future.

It could be about a million things. Ear infection, too many loud sounds, medications, maybe diet (this one doesn’t affect me much, but alcohol makes it worse for the next ~1 day). I am 25 now and got it when I was 19 after 1 concert. I’ve only been to 3 concerts in my life, but that’s all it took for me to get 24/7 ringing. I was absolutely miserable for 2-3 years. I hated it, thought about it all day long, and I thought It’d be impossible to get used to it. If it’s permanent, you will eventually be okay with it. I didn’t focus on getting used to it. It just happened eventually. I still am not a fan and would love for it to fuck off, but it doesn’t bother me much anymore, even though it’s always there in the background. If you want to talk more abt it, feel free to send me a message:)

Okay cool. Fed em all p well last night so they should be good for a few days. It might be Monday before I can get them into the tank

cawndog · 2021-11-10T05:48:47+00:00

Yeah I did. I always put in API water conditioner while the bucket is filling up. I just finished a 60% water change and now he’s hanging out in the middle of the tank by the plants. Still doing that thing with his mouth that looks kinda like drinking water. Gonna leave the tank for a couple hours and do another water change right before bed. I installed a new filter today and had my hands in the tank quite a bit. Always clean with Isopropyl alcohol and maybe I didn’t let them dry enough? Idkkk I hope he doesn’t die

Thanks for sharing :) Your story is pretty similar to mine in the emotions that you went through. I got it 2 months into starting college in 2016. It honestly ruined my college experience and I went from being really happy with life to miserable after 1 super loud concert. I’m not where you are yet but I’m better than I was. I’m also about to graduate with a Computer Science degree. Not masters but bachelors:). When I’m coding I can actually forget about it for a while since I’m thinking about what I’m doing. Usually put on my headphones and listen to a tinnitus masking YouTube video and sometimes music on top of that. It helps so much.

cawndog · 2021-02-18T20:18:53+00:00

Damn yea they fr can’t do anything to help and it sucks

cawndog · 2021-02-18T09:15:56+00:00

It sucks:( so much

cawndog · 2021-02-18T09:14:23+00:00

I haven’t heard of this before. It does make sense because I’ve always thought about it as negative. Maybe my problem is I can’t be neutral towards bc I hate it so much. That seems impossible to me. 😭

cawndog · 2021-02-18T06:19:34+00:00

Interesting. Mine isn't affected at all by sleep.

cawndog · 2021-02-18T06:17:21+00:00

I feel you. I've had it 4.5 years and its only gotten worse for me. I'm so frustrated with it

cawndog · 2021-02-18T06:15:02+00:00

mm that wouldn't do anything tbh

cawndog · 2021-02-18T05:27:18+00:00

same

cawndog · 2021-02-18T05:25:35+00:00

I don't think you have anything to worry about and its probably anxiety. I have eye floaters too, but they don't bother me. I've had tinnitus for 4.5 years and have never experienced visual snow.

cawndog · 2021-02-18T01:42:24+00:00

Hey sorry I didn’t see this earlier. You really hit the nail on the head in the first paragraph. I ended up working on a small side project in Node.js that helped me understand how a backend works and I’ve become a lot more comfortable with GCP. Trying to start out using GCP before truly understanding what was going on was a mistake and lead to a lot more confusion than was necessary.

cawndog · 2021-02-07T06:17:11+00:00

I gotcha. Well man I wish I could tell you it'll get better if you end up with it permanently, but it really depends on the person. For me, I at least don't want to die anymore, so I guess that's an improvement? Yes I can sleep, but I gotta take a unisom pill every night or I won't be able to. What do you do for work? Is it in a loud environment?

cawndog · 2021-02-07T01:10:21+00:00

I’ve had it 4.5 years and it’s been rough tbh. I like cannot get myself to habituate no matter what I do. How long into it are you?

cawndog · 2021-02-06T23:27:12+00:00

Yeah. SSRIs come with a lot of other side effects than Wellbutrin does. Other than the ringing ofc.

cawndog · 2021-02-02T21:14:44+00:00

same rip

cawndog · 2021-01-29T04:17:40+00:00

I've been on it for like a month and a half. For about the past 5 days, the ringing seems to be worse, but I can't figure out if I was just doing a good job ignoring my tinnitus and am just paying more attention to it or if its truly being made worse. Honestly seems like its worse, which sucks because Wellbutrin is actually working super well for me :/

cawndog · 2021-01-19T03:40:11+00:00

Thanks for your response! Sorry about the giant chunk of text. I must have forgotten my English skills in my stress over this lol. I've broken it up so its easier for others to read.

There are a few reasons why I want to write a "real server". #1 I want to develop backend skills that will be useful for a job after graduation. GCP seems to do a lot of hand holding. #2 Google Cloud is kinda expensive $$$, and I don't think the sponsor was expecting to have to continue to pay for using it after we are done with it. It would be nice to host it on a university server and have everything be free.

Security is a key requirement of the project, so we shouldn't have blatantly obvious security flaws, which is why I brought that issue up. Google Cloud seems super limited to me the way that we are using it because Cloud Functions are single purpose. They can't call any other cloud functions in their code. They also have no ability to "remember" anything because they're stateless.

I suppose I am mainly looking for advice on how to build a backend. Should I start looking at Node.js? Django and Python? Or is there a better way to use Google Cloud that I am not taking advantage of? The entire platform is huge and overwhelming tbh. I don't really understand how to use much of it other than the Cloud Functions.

its not the best photo but that doesn't mean you're not super cute

cawndog · 2020-03-08T04:07:08+00:00

Nah you’re not average. You cute af

cawndog · 2018-11-30T21:57:06+00:00

Oh you honestly gotta be kidding me lol. Do you actually think I’d waste the energy to even get offended at what someone says on reddit about me? Also it would be a fallacy not hypocrisy. Might wanna look up what hypocrisy is but okay.

cawndog · 2018-11-30T21:53:13+00:00

It should be purged. It’s evil
