The only thing I'm wondering is if they take people every day or just certain days, and I'm guessing it's mostly a morning thing, or does it not even matter?

You can go once a week....
I always used to go on Monday mornings...at least that's what I know. Maybe they've changed things up recently, but I doubt you're allowed to go more than once a week...

I had my baby at Mercury... and I have to admit, I didn't have any bad experiences. Then again, maybe my labor was just relatively easy, and the epidural worked perfectly, so perhaps that’s part of the reason...
The only thing was, there was one doctor I really didn't care for. I won't name names, but they're pretty well-known and highly regarded in the field...

Look, I’m certainly no medical expert, but I do have some experience here since I was donating plasma for nearly a year... and I haven't dealt with any lasting "side effects"... aside from maybe some tiny bruises on my veins 🤣
It isn't actually that risky as long as you strictly follow the instructions they give you... I did feel lightheaded once, but honestly, that was just because I stood up way too fast to head home; I nearly collapsed right there on the subway 😁
But seriously, there really isn't anything to worry about, at least based on my own experience...

I’m dealing with the exact same thing...
I went to see an ophthalmologist recently, and apparently, my vision is technically perfect. However, the issue with my eye wandering is just congenital strabismus. According to the doctor, there’s really no point in trying to fix it—and when I say "trying," I mean he told me it’s way too late in life to even attempt a correction...
I also have a massive struggle with night driving because headlights from other cars just absolutely blind me... It’s honestly pretty worrying, but maybe it’s just the curse of having blue eyes... At this point, the only real solution is to just avoid driving after dark altogether...
Your best bet is to go see an eye specialist so they can give you a definitive diagnosis...

ruggedpanther64, I’m not entirely sure how normal it is to have bumps on your head...🤣

But seriously, if you’re panicking this much, just go see a doctor so they can tell you what's actually going on and call it a day...
It most likely isn't anything more than just some lumps...
Maybe your brain is just growing? Have you been studying or reading something intense lately???😁

Don't stress out over it too much....

Kevin Nelson3, I honestly don't think you need to be panicking quite this much...
I've actually had a sort of lump on the back of my head for quite a while now myself...it doesn't hurt, it doesn't sting, nothing. It’s been there for years and hasn't caused me any issues at all.
If you're already this worked up about it, then maybe just go see a doctor, because you can never really know for sure, but it's probably fine.👍
