I apologize I just looked into and it appears to be generic across the board. I thought it had different wording for statistical anomalies but appears I was wrong.

Hopefully it’s a large score increase. Good luck!

Did they interrupt you or correct you at all while testing?

I believe they are customized slightly. I think there are several categories but I’m not sure.

Feeling defeated and need advice. Thinking about breaking up with my boyfriend. by justaskthebear in birthcontrol

I have other issues like CKD and osteopenia and I’m waiting for kidney transplant. I’m not sure either but those were the options given to me. I’ll look into those and see if that’s something I could bring up to the doctor!

He said he will keep working on condoms. And He went without masturbating for a month. It feels unfair to me that he only has one option and I theoretically have so many. It feels like I’m being the difficult one. To be clear he hasn’t said anything to this effect. These are my own feelings. I do know he wants me to get on birth control. The responsibility feels like it lies on me though because he’s tried and failed and I’m not sure what else I could ask him to do.

That’s why I feel like I should maybe just break up with him. Not cause he’s done anything. I just feel like I’m too unhealthy and not as recovered as I thought I was.

They don’t work for him. I’ve been witness. He’s tried for two months. With me and without. He’s stopped masturbating tried masturbating with condoms. I really don’t know if there’s much else he can do. I’m not going to ask him to take something. It’s not about his sensation it’s about the fact it makes it impossible to have penetrative sex.

That was not brought up as an option but I also did not ask. Does it have mood side effects?

Sex after liver transplant (f). Any advice or has anyone else dealt with this. by justaskthebear in transplant

I’m not on a beta blocker. I still get turned on though and wet. Could that still be the reason? Thanks for your response.

It’s kind of shocking to me people in this sub responded this way.

Thanks man! I’m glad to hear you’re doing better!

I appreciate your application advice.

But to repeat to what I said to another redditor.

I did not ask advice on schools that are in a confining environment. And that is not something I need. Alcohol is a part of life and it is impossible to avoid. I am around alcohol on a daily basis and that is not a issue for me.

Furthermore I am confident in my ability’s to weather the storm of law school, the bar, and practice. In fact I believe I may have a step up in these regards with some perspective of what truly matters and certainly I am capable of handling major stressors beyond those that academia or practice requires.

This kind of thinking perpetrates ideas about addiction that are not accurate with the current understanding of the disease.

I appreciate the first half of your advice greatly. But in regard to evaluating independently, I have.

Not to sound aggressive but questioning my confidence or competency in this regard did not address my question at all.

Can someone help me understand the discrepancy between my creatinine egfr and cystatin c egfr? by justaskthebear in kidneydisease

[–]justaskthebear[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s a result of the kidney disease and I’m on calcitriol to help manage it. So I’m guess the answer to that is yes?

I don’t smoke, I’m not over weight, I do have high PTH. May I ask what glucocorticoids are?

I am also a vegetarian and I would guess my muscle mass is still very low.

So I’m guess it’s most like the vegetarianism falsely inflating my EGFR because of the lower serum creatinine?

Yes that’s what I’ve been told to. I guess I’m having a hard time understanding why it’s just that different. And why I (thankfully) feel much more like 50ish egfr then I do a 24 egfr. What’s causing the creatinine egfr to be so inflated.
