True, but if my kid was old enough to have his own phone and swear at me, he’s old enough to find his own damn ride home from Walmart.

GOD FUCKING DAMNIT: FORMULA IS NOT RAT POISON!

As a single 34 year old woman living in a big city, I call bullshit on this so hard. I would love to get married and have wanted that for some time. I want to create a home, equal partnership and life with someone.

It’s almost as if you did not read this article which mentions Post-Treatment Lyme Disease Syndrome and links to the exact same thing you posted. PTLDS is real. Chronic Lyme Disease, however, is not.

Lyme Disease can be diagnoses with two tests. Neither of which Foster took. Lyme Disease is real. And diagnosable. Chronic Lyme is a way for alternative practitioners to steal your money.

I have had lyme. It was terrible. But it’s also something that has a test and a treatment

But that’s the thing. There’s a difference between having Lyme disease (which it sounds like you did) and “Chronic Lyme Disease” which is now a “thing” that people have - like Avril Lavigne, this lady, etc. These are people who are tested by their doctors for Lyme Disease and they DON’T have Lyme Disease. And then…

This is even weirder to me because I have a friend who has been going through the exact same thing for years now. “Chronic Lyme” with tons of home remedies and vitamins and diet and IVs and little actual western medicine. I really feel for this friend but the whole thing is just so damn confusing and really doesn’t…

There is zero chance that whatever is wrong with her is lyme.

Lyme Disease certainly exists in California, but it is not nearly as widespread as say in Connecticut, Massachusetts, or even Delaware (arguably much smaller states.)

This topic is so incredibly confusing and hasn’t really been adequately explained anywhere that i’ve seen, so I’ve been googling tonight. Links to articles from the Seattle Times and PBS News Hour are below, as is a link to a FAQ page from the Oregon State Pharmacy Association. These sites are where I got the…

Er, no, that’s not the case at all. Guidelines were changed based on the recommendation of doctors.

Pulmonary embolisms do not appear as a part of routine healthcare checkups, or even extensive testing - you basically have to catch them while they’re happening. When I was 19-20, I had a mystery illness consisting of flu-like symptoms and a low-grade fever that went on for about eight months until I happened to be at…

Pharmacists are able to write and fill limited prescriptions already (vaccines, etc). It’s something not a lot of people are aware of. This just adds an additional prescription they can write.

Health check ups don’t prevent blood clots. The questionnaire probably contains screening questions for people who have a history of blood clots. That’s all a doctor can do, too, is screen based on history.

Legally and ethically, I *do* think it’s right for the people who answer the call to be prepared to (or more likely, accompanied by someone equipped and trained to) take physical action, if required. It would be unfair to expect social workers or even doctors to be first responders at actively volatile situations.

Ah I had one of those when I went a semester to the States, the best one was “don’t try to bribe the policemen here”.

But remember, despite the fact they can be driven into a rapey, violent rage by a smile, direct eye contact, or a flash of female wrist or ankle, men are still the wisest, most capable, and most well-suited for leadership than women are.

So what if the phone autocorrected? He should have gotten the names of both countries spelled right in his fucking apology Tweet. That’s really not a lot to ask.

But given what he’s tweetpologizing for, I mean, for FUCK’S sake, he could have read it before firing it off, right?
