Hi!
Recently had a sexual encounter with a guy (the Guy): - guy says he is on Prep and has a negative test from March this year - he had a hookup with another guy a few weeks prior to our encounter (the other is supposedly also on Prep and has a clean recent test, but wouldn’t trust it) - I had condomless oral with the Guy (giving and receiving) - had a brief anal with a condom (Guy might have initially put the condom wrong and then flipped it; there was no ejaculation) - he fingered me at some point
This all is very new to me and I am feeling very anxious about the chances of getting an HIV from the above. I keep thinking about PEP as I am still within the window. Is it worth taking it given the side effect and the above?

Firstly, I would like to give you a little backstory. I got an iPhone 13 Pro Max for repair. Firstly, it has a 3cm long "yellow burn" on the upper left side of the screen, because the phone got heat there for a short time, but everything works fine on it. The front speaker was working, but I had to replace it because it was deformated. The LiDAR sensor was not working, it does not give an error when I tested it with software, but the sensor output was nothing, it did not scan anything. So I decided to buy a programmable one to replace it. An other repairer used to replace the rear camera in the phone, so I decided to buy a Tag-On Flex to programme it as well. Also, the customer wanted me to replace the back glass, the flash, the wireless charging coil and the bluetooth antenna. I replaced them and I put the parts back together, but there are some remained issues.
The first problem is with the Camera module. I did everything, the programming process went well, but the LiDAR is still not working, it has the exact same issue. I tried to programme it again, and I also checked the coneectivity a lot of time, but I couldn't solve it yet. Also the Camera Message does not dissappear, but I guess it is because of the LiDAR sensor failure.
The second problem is that the Apple Pay does not work, after the repair, I can't scan a card or pay with it either(back then it was working).
All the feautes working fine execpt these ones. The flash, the wireless chaging and the bluetooth is working properly, also the camera is functioning as expected, but I can see the difference in focus time and precision.
What would solve these problems? Do you have any solutions? Also, is there any way to make the "yellow burn" dissapper or make it less visible? I tried to put a privacy screen protector on it, but it does not make much effect.
Thanks for your help!

Hi all, I’ve been on Slynd for about 2 years now and I think it’s what’s causing all my problems. I wanna know if any of you have dealt with this too. Everything was great for a long time besides the fact that I gained 10 pounds on it. Not cool. But I literally think it has destroyed my sex drive, and I’ve never been suicidally depressed in my life until now. I’ve always had depression, but it’s so bad now and I’m so angry and I feel rage all the time. I didn’t think it was the pill causing it but now I’m not so sure because I’ve seen other people with the same issues. Have any of u dealt with this?

Should I start out on 2.5 or 5mg of Tirzepatide? Would like ppls opinions and their reasoning behind it. It will be my first time on a GLP drug & I’m not too worried about side effects. I’d really like the best chance at loosing weight…Thanks 😁

i’m a cashier so i’m mostly on my feet all day until my breaks. i get two tens and a 30 minute lunch
i literally started lexapro TODAY and im already feeling side effects. my armpits are sweaty, i feel really really calm, my hands are shaking, i feel a little dizzy, i feel extremely tired and im hungry
i took the lexapro around 7 and i get off at 6. will i feel this way tomorrow morning? how can i make it through the work day?

I am 29 and i have had a strange pain under my glans, to the left of the perineum for about two weeks now. The best way to describe it is that it feels like when you have a bruise and you press on it, but it's not really that painful.
I can't really feel the pain when I press on it while it's flaccid or erect. I feel it most when my erection presses against my clothes, or when i attempt to masturbate (although i have been abstaining). The pain feels like it's deep inside, somehow. I would rate it at a 1 out of 10 on a pain scale. It doesn't feel like it's getting worse, but it also doesn't feel like it's getting better. There are no signs of any curving, indentation or plaque. The erection itself does not hurt my penis, just when pressure is applied to it.
The reason I am a little worried is because I have been on a very low dose of beta blockers (20mg propranolol) for just over a year now and I read that a rare side effect of long term use is peyronies. I have no recollection of injuring my penis. However, I have noticed that I have been getting potent nocturnal erections recently and I think maybe I bruised my penis sleeping on my stomach somehow?
I have a drs appointment tomorrow morning, but I was wondering if anyone here might have any insight?

I went to the hospital like 5 days ago for a high heart rate probably from anxiety, well the doc there told me to take the amlodipine he prescribed me which was 5mg. Has anyone else experienced continuing high blood pressure? I have been sitting on my bed almost an hour and just got up to check my blood pressure and it is 151 over 96 and pulse was regular 76. Idk if its high bc of my subconscious mind anxiety of how bad my anxiety is that is still causing it to be hugh, or if there is an underlying problem that has been causing me to have high BP or if that med is not for me and making it worse. I have never been on BP meds but ik that cold turkey can be bad and or risk it to xome back worse and risk a heart attack. I told the doc that and he said i eill be fine to take this and basically stop taking it whenever i want if i dont like it and im looking online and it says to not do that. Idk what to do bc i dont like the side effects and don't want to take another dose, but also don't wanna like die...

I was just prescribed the 2 mg dosage and have been experiencing minimal if any side effects on the 1 mg. Wondering if the increase side effects are significant. I’m actually really nervous. I’ve been on OZEMPIC since feb and have only lost 8lbs, most on the 1 mg dosage so I felt ready to go up especially with the lack of negative side effects. :) thanks in advance!

Hey! Got the drug, hesitant a bit to start it.
Can anyone share their experience coming off of it? Any side effects at that point?

okay so, I'm 16, and terminally online. some time ago, i think almost two months, i came upon the term "proana". and the thing is, when i was asked about it, i couldn't recall where it was from, because in response i starved off that week worth of memories.
i think at the beginning it was about weight loss. i remember it was a bit after i got into fitness, so that's probably why. i guess i was just too tired of making healthy decisions. i basically developed a mish-mash of symptomes- purging half of what i eat every other day, restricting as much as is physically possible to get away with, sometimes deciding it's not worth it only to come back two days later. i think it started being about control and being sick enough pretty soon after that.
i told people i trust about that (not my parents tho). some just went "damn, that sucks", some tried unseccessfully to pull me off that. i wish they would have convinced me, i wish they could get me to just quit, but they couldn't. and my brain has three different hallmarks for what could qualify as getting "sick enough" to deserve treatment:
a) a meltdown followed by forced hospitalization. that second part might happen anyways, since i tried to off myself a few days ago and now people are still trying to decide what to do.
b) the three months mark. it is neccesery for a diagnosis.
or c) become underweight. i pulled my weight out of the overweight part of the bmi scale and into the higher side of the healthy. it would probably not take many more months to finish the rest.
i wish i could just quit. my brain is disordered now. i have to forcefully remind myself how weight works- no, you won't gain two kilos by eating that sandwitch. when i started this, i knew how much anorexia sucks physically, i knew the side effects and i knew that they will happen, but i thought because i started on purpose, i'm in full control. i can quit whenever. i was wrong. every time i try, two days later i realize i was wasting my time and will never be sick enough if i keep going like that. i wish i could get out of this, but i can't go back the way i came. i think the only way i can convince my brain to let me leave is through the other side. two monthes of frankenstain's ed is not enough for a diagnosis.
please help.

Hi all, I (29F, 6ft1 103kg) started on 2.5 this Sunday and both yesterday and today I’ve had a lot of aches, but it’s not constant, it’s just when I touch the part of my body I realise there’s pain.
When I put on makeup in the morning and I touch my face, it’s aching. Not unbearably, but almost like the pain you experience the day after working out, but I’ve never experienced this in my face before.
Has anyone else had this or do you think this isn’t linked to mounjaro?

I'm a 38 y/o female.
I was diagnosed with asthma as a kid.
Current meds Soprobec 200 two puffs AM, two puffs PM, ventolin as needed.
I moved into this flat in 2022, was fine before I moved and to begin with, then I developed worsening asthma symptoms as the months went on. I spent ages trying to fathom out the possible cause. I found no sign of mold or anything like that. then found out tobacco smoke from the man downstairs was coming into mine, it's been so bad on a couple of occasions my bathroom has 'fogged up' with smoke. I have tried everything, including having the council works department out to see if we could seal up any gaps etc, nope, no way of stopping it. He seems to vanish for long periods of time, leaving his flat empty. During these periods, my asthma symptoms vanish completely.
In response to my worsening asthma symptoms, in Jan 2024 the asthma nurses at my surgery decided to increase my ICS dose of Beclomethasone from 400mg a day to 800mg a day. Now I have high functioning Autism on top of all this, I am far from dumb or stupid, but anything to do with numbers seems to go over my head a lot of the time, even though I am better at maths now, amounts of things can still flummox me.
NOBODY told me this was considered a moderate to high dose and I should be carrying a steroid warning card, nobody, not once. I wrongly guessed it was only a few mg more than the soprobec 100 I was on. The Soprobec 100 was two puffs am, two puffs pm.
Now, since I have been on the Soprobec 200 at 800mg a day, I have developed some extreme and very disruptive possible side effects.
All possible other causes of these symptoms just got ruled out in a complete bloodwork which included diabetes, hypercalcemia, thyroid and iron deficiency, which are all possible causes of the things I have listed below, all tests have come back requiring no further action.
These are:
EXTREME, unquenchable thirst. I am drinking easily over four liters of water per day. I am also waking up several times a night for a drink, and if I go out I must carry water with me otherwise the thirst is VERY distressing. I feel dehydrated on a 'cellular level', like it doesn't matter how much I drink, I feel thirsty WHILE drinking water!.
Fatigue so bad I can hardly get up out of my chair most days and I am asleep by 9pm, where before I would like to chill with my dog watching a film or something till about 12pm. I have gone from waking literal miles through local fields and woodland with my dog, to barely being able to take her on the local park which is only across the road. I hardly ever go out, and if I do, I suffer immensely as my muscles start aching. I live upstairs and I am struggling getting up the stairs.
It feels as if I have lost all muscle tone all over my body. I no longer feel safe walking my dog as she is med size mastiff cross who is quite strong, she has almost pulled me over at times and I cannot even lift my kitchen bin bag or the laundry basket, I have NEVER had this problem before.
I have lost my appetite and have to force myself to eat every meal, often taking hours rather than minutes.
Episodes of vaginal thrush, something I have NOT had for YEARS, started when I went on this high dose of ICS.
My once 'perfect' periods are now very heavy and irregular.
I feel more angry than before. I had to seriously check my anger levels in my adult years, and developed a much more patient and stoical outlook to life, which brought my stress levels down massively. Since I went on this inhaler I have been snapping at people again, including my own family :(
Tingling hands. This can come on anytime, never had it before the inhaler.
A terrible hoarse voice and it feels like my voice is getting deeper and I am starting to sound 'male' other people have noticed this too.
Profuse sweating on my hands and feet. My hands DRIP with sweat, to the point I hide them from people. Never happened before this inhaler.
Salt and red meat cravings. I am not a big fan of either, and due to heart problems in the family I keep my salt intake low. Other day I just felt compelled to walk into the local coop and buy pork loins and a pack of beef biltong, things I haven't eaten in many moons. I recall saying to myself 'this is SO out of character for you'.
Episodes of nausea, two episodes of vomiting in the morning over two months (not preggers before anyone asks lol) which were not related to anything I had eaten.
Dizzy spells and almost fainting, usually happens if I push myself to do even basic stuff like household chores, which I usually enjoy doing.
I know these are listed as 'rare' side effects, but unusual thirst, tiredness and weakness is mentioned both in the patient info leaflet with the inhaler, and in various other information regarding side effects, such as this article: https://www.mayoclinic.org/drugs-supplements/corticosteroid-inhalation-route/side-effects/drg-20070533?p=1
I take the inhaler via a spacer, my technique is good, I've been doing this whole asthma game all my life, so I am pretty ofay with it all now lol.
I have had a battle over this inhaler with my GP and other asthma services as well. They just do NOT believe ICS can have systemic side effects, in contradiction to what the drug manufacturers say on the leaflet. I think I am going to have to go back to the GP and stand up for myself, which is not something I am good at at all, and present them with this information leaflet, which actually tells you to consult your doctor if you develop any of them!.
Would it be worth asking to try the same dose, as I do not want to risk withdrawal, I have experienced this before from ICS, but on a different steroid with a different inhaler?.
Is there any more bloodwork I could ask for, perhaps adrenal function or cortisol levels?.
I am at a loss, I need to control my asthma, but I also need to be able to live!.
Thank you for taking time to read this, I hope everyone is well and your asthma leaves you alone to enjoy the summer!. :)

Hello currently on a trial week period of 40 mg strattera after stimulants were giving side effects. I’m on week 2 i don’t feel any difference in my anxiety, emotional dysfunction, racing thoughts and I don’t feel any calmer but I feel like It helps my executive functioning, it’s like a small motivation to keep me on task (might be placebo, not sure). This is weird to me because Vyvanse on top of fixing my executive dysfunction, made me feel so calm, no racing thoughts, my emotions were under control and everything about it was just so nice. I kinda wish strattera made me feel that way also. Should I consult my doctor about this?

Is it just me, or is the writing for these games going down the drain? Or am I missing something?
I really loved the series to begin with. Loved the Liberl arc. Then I loved Crossbell. And now I'm invested and want to see it through, even though I didn't really like Cold Steel 1 and 2. Cold Steel 3 felt like a step up again, but there's some bad writing now and then. It's like the writers have NO IDEA about how to write realistic human motivations.

WTF is up with "The Ironbloods"??

In the final chapter... I'm thinking of Millium and Claire. Both of these characters have been mostly portrayed as sympathetic. As people with conscience. People with "a good heart". Yes, they've been loyal to Giliath Osborne as well, but they have also seen what he has done the last few years up close. Millium was a member of Class VII, and she even declared out loud that she would stand with Class VII, right? Then she went back on that promise and sided with the Ironbloods until the very end. Claire made no such promise, but from everything that happened I'd expect her to pick the right side by the end.
The issue here, with the writing, is that the motivations of the Claire and Millium is 100% UNBELIEVABLE!
Rufus was questionable for most of the time. And Lechter even more so. That they would "pick the dark side" doesn't seem that crazy. But the other two...? Keep in mind that this is after the royal palace was turned into some kind of glowing evil egg, and Giliath Osborne had joined Ouroboros.
I just started Cold Steel IV (because I've gotta see these games through now...) and I'm writing this just after the scene where Claire opened the two week old email from Millium and started crying. I'm assuming there will be a redemption arc for a few characters in this game. But still...
Thoughts? I feel like this isn't the first example of such bad writing, but it's unbelievably bad.
And couple more things I just thought of... After Millium had died, and Rean lost his mind, killing the dragon, and then slowly (SLOOOOWLY for some reason) walked towards the two Gilliath and the other bad guy, his class mates were screaming "NO! Don't do it!" or something to that effect. Wtf was up with that?? If there was ANYTHING right and proper at that moment it would be to rush those motherfuckers and splice them into little pieces! Right? Why object to that? Just for plot armour reasons??
The Trails series stood out to me in the start for it's good writing. It felt like the world made internal sense. The pieces of the games fit together better the more pieces I found. There were some mysteries all the time, like Ouroboros and what their plans and motivations were, but I trusted it would be revealed and make sense. Now idk if I've missed it, or if this is gonna be a mystery for the rest of the games. But it's starting to annoy me that I still don't know what it is about Ouroboros that makes their member so loyal to the cause. At the moment it makes no sense Sharon decided to go back to Ouroboros after being loyal to the Reinfords for so long. She went on and on about her "love" for the Reinfords, and also seemingly for Class VII. This, again, bothers me a lot, because it's more of the same issue, the issue of motivations that don't line up with actions.
Is it just me? I just want the world to make sense, to be coherent, and for characters to have reasonable motivations. I don't have to have all the answers yet, but I need to trust that there are answers that will make things make sense.

I’m a little confused as to why I’m feeling nauseous as I’m eating way healthier than I was prior… today I mostly had eggs, salmon, and veggies. I’ve been nauseas and getting worse into the night. I know there’s a “keto flu” sometimes but I’ve never had nausea when eating low carb before ozempic. Could there be some sort of correlation to the Ozempic while my body is adjusting to this new diet? I’ve been on Ozempic for months and really no side effects
