In fact I was so intent on taking meds that I accidentally took The PRs meds by mistake.  I realized it pronto and promptly spit them out and gave them to her. (But I didn't tell her.)  Hey, we're related, share germs, clothes, etc.

Not yet, no. I will when I get there.

you best have given them at least a rinse under the tap. Better thing would be to have given her next days dose and gone to get another day worth from the drs.

We are not amused :(

I took an extra dexamphetamine tablet this afternoon. I had a networking class and wanted to concentrate on that.

Dare I say it? I looked up herpes recently. Apparently 80% of people who have it don't realise they do, and to top that off, there's asymptomatic shedding, which means herpes can pass on and the person receiving it will likely never know where they got it. And in America, 50% of people have herpes. I think oral herpes is the most common, and a lot of people get it as kids.

To me though, it sounds closer to home to say that 1 in 5 people experience symptoms, and 1 in 2 have herpes.

If I rinsed them under the tap they would have dissolved.  We've always been pretty comfy sharing things, so I knew it was no biggie for her.

Yes I know quite a few people with "kissing" herpes.

Could have used other days worth and got a replacement from the doc.

So no I don't :P

Added bitch-didn't see the doc I was meant to, had to get a replacement at the very last minute after turning up and finding the doctor in question (thankfully not my regular doc, the really decent one,) had been in a car crash, snapped his arm

And its taken me, that brief rousing for the dr appt aside, at 4pm from morning until just now, at 9:20 in the evening
to even wake up from the heavy, heavy doses of antiseizure/heavy-duty tranquilizer type meds  in combination with my painkillers and muscle relaxers etc. Stuff hits like a sledgehammer even at smaller doses, this time I had to push it, stagewise, all the way up to 'survivable doses'


Thankfully my old man has now just gone out to go to a bar with some of his friends, so he's going to take his time and I'll have some additional time online before he gets back since hopefully he'll get good and soused and not pay attention to the time much.

Another bitch is that one of the receptionists has a blood clot on her lung, a really quite sweet young lass, very likeable, nice girl, funny to talk with. But shes been treated in an outpatient setting, still able to do her job so hopefully it isn't a truly serious one. Not that there are any GOOD kinds of course. And I swear, she keeps flirting with me. Giving me looks even a spazz like me can't fail to pick up on, and in the way she talks with me (sometimes making people wait until shes finished the conversation to book in even:P)

Could be worse people to have that from though by far, even if she is NT, since she IS cute, and seems a genuinely nice girl, early 20s, I doubt very much over 25, maybe 26 or so, and admittedly, very pretty. Although pretty sure she isn't autistic.

Around 80% of all cats are infected with feline herpes.  It can cause one of the types of sneezing disease. But as long as the general health is OK it will not show, just like in humans.

I'm sorry to be such an angry bitch, but.......  We have a back up supply of all meds simply because of meds not taken (forgot to) or not given (stomach sickness - no sense wasting them if they'll be thrown up.)  It's hard enough that I have to keep all meds (prescription and over the counter) locked up and all sharp objects (knives, can openers, scissors, sewing needles, nail files, etc) locked up also.  It is a ROYAL PAIN IN THE ASS when you want an aspirin or a knife to spread butter on your toast and you have to lift a tool box and unlock the DAMN thing.  Then relock it and place the tool box back where it belongs.  I wasn't about to do that again yesterday to get her fresh meds. 

BTW, I also have to keep all money under similar protective measures because she's been taking money from my wallet.  Every time I leave the house I have to unlock a third damn tool chest and get my wallet out.  I am FUCKING TIRED of living under lock and key.  But I do it because it's necessary.

That means I have 3 different combinations I have to remember and again, I'm sorry to be a sorry, angry bitch, but, sometimes I just am.

So, think ill of me if you want, but I don't give a rat's ass.

How do they diagnose the undiagnosed herpes to quantify these percentages?
