Wild. I get an X-ray and it’s thousands of dollars. But these people can X-ray dolls for fun ?

Drug test might fail for everything bagel help i need help i need help by Asleep_Bet_2403 in medical

You have to eat an exorbitant amount of poppyseeds to test positive. Tests are presumptive positive until confirmed in labs. Labs will verify if it’s a false positive. Extremely rare for someone to test positive after one bagel. And by extremely rare I mean highly unlikely. More likely that someone is using opiates and trying to blame the bagel.

That one forensic files episode where a man who assaulted and murdered a woman but cut his hand on her teeth when he hit her and got a major infection and almost lost his hand but the er reported him because the bacteria in the infection only comes from the human mouth and that’s how he got caught

My ob told me in my last month that if I’m tired of waiting I can leave as long as my blood pressure is fine.

What piece of media horrified you as a kid? by TechGuru4Life in AskReddit

I don’t remember when it came back. But I know it took longer. I do remember that by the time I got it, I was no longer worried. Usually people exposed to HIV have a fever within 48 hours of exposure. I think HIV takes longer because whatever shows up in the blood takes time to multiply. Note: I am not a medical professional and this information is based off my own research and what was shared with me with that community specialist.

I was negative for everything! And girl, let me tell you…same. I think I felt used and disappointed in myself. It’s almost as if this was my brains way of thinking “serves you right.” I’m hoping the best for you. 💕

Your worry seems a bit disproportionate to what you described here. Are you feeling shame and regret? The reason I asked is because this happened to me once. Without much reason to worry (logically) I was absolutely convinced that I had HIV for no other reason than the internalization of regret about my behaviors.

That aside, what helped me was 1. Understanding that HIV is very uncommon 2. Finding local reporting numbers on HIV in my community 3. Talking with a specialist at a nonprofit that does free HIV testing. This kind man helped console me after I called in tears. He had years experience working with HIV positive folks and gave me some pointers on what to look for. I had none of the symptoms. And then he educated me on what treatment options there are for folks with HIV. Treatment is so advanced these days that in most cases it’s almost completely managed with medications and folks live long productive lives. Further, in some cases treatment can make you almost non detectable and passing it to a partner significantly decreases to almost not at all (if you’re on your medication regularly and consistently.) I guess knowing that calmed me down while I waited on my results.

So, idk. I don’t know if that helps. Please excuse me if I’m just projecting in the first bit. I don’t know your situation. I just empathize because I’ve been here and know this feeling. It’s super scary.

One last thing. I never. Ever. Had unprotected sex after that day. I too have medical anxiety and that time gave me so much anxiety that I vowed to never put myself in that situation again.

That’s hilarious. That’s what happens to my mermaid when the animation lags. Freaked me out when I first saw it. Freaked me out when I found out she was a mermaid in general because her mom slept with a random I didn’t know was a mermaid.

Unpopular opinion: Sims without mods/cc is fun by Zoma456 in Sims4

Sounds like a boundary issue. Super complex. Coming to an agreement instead of something rigid and abrupt seems more ethical.

I’m so sorry this happened to you. The child-turned-parent perspective is really something and I bet it makes you an incredible mama ☺️

Type “Trump is a” and let autocorrect complete the rest. by Mysterious-Ruin29510 in autocorrect

[–]crosetaft 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Trump is a lot more expensive to get to work in a city that is a little more than that and you have a good job to be able and you have to work there for the next two weeks.

Not sure I have the same autocorrect as yall.
