Does "gram positive" mean they found gram-positive bacteria, like strep? I'll wait for the doctors to confirm it for sure..

Forget what you think you know about your results. Go see a urologist, get an ultrasound, and let a professional confirm it. Besides, what tests did you actually undergo? You won't necessarily find anything in a standard blood panel if the issue is with your prostate.

Sounds like prostate issues.

S indicates that the bacteria is sensitive to a specific antibiotic (meaning the drug works and actually kills the bacteria). R means it isn't.

I’m wondering—is there a real risk that the iodine won't actually kill off all those thyroid remnants, or even any cancerous tissue left behind? Does that actually happen, and if so, what’s the next move? That’s probably the absolute worst-case scenario...

We’re getting ready. The situation isn't exactly great, but we're all processing this in our own way—trying to stay tough and resilient so we can keep fighting. We've been through a lot already, but now comes this battle with the therapy and everything that follows...

To make things a little easier for you...
I was diagnosed with thyroid cancer. Surgery, followed by high-dose iodine (100) and a scan. Nearly a year later, I had more iodine (just a maintenance dose of 5 this time) and a scan. Everything came back clear—for the first time, they actually saw something, just some leftover thyroid tissue, I assume. A year after that, I did the iodine and scan again (dose was 5 again, so small). This time everything was fine. They told me I don't need the iodine or scans anymore, just regular checkups (hormones and antibodies). Now I just go for annual exams..
Along with the thyroid, it had spread to the nearby lymph nodes (which were removed along with the thyroid)

To be honest, I’m not even sure if Ibuprofen would offer you any temporary relief from the pain.
You should probably just see a doctor and let them weigh in; they actually have the expertise.

It’s most likely gonorrhea.
How can anyone help you? Antibiotics are the only way, as far as I know.
And try what Kate Phillips47 suggested.

Calm down. First off, go check out the Thyroid thread. There are plenty of us there who have already dealt with this. To put it bluntly, if we're talking about papillary carcinoma, it's the "best" kind of cancer you can get.
Three weeks isn't a long time—I waited four months, and a colleague of mine waited over six. The worst part is having to take medication for the rest of your life after surgery. It’s not the end of the world.

To looks like the onset of Hashimoto's to me. I could be wrong though... check the thyroid thread.

Don't worry about it. You don't need to chug eight glasses of water specifically. If you eat a bowl of soup, that counts toward your fluid intake. It’s the same with other foods. The point is getting enough hydration into your system, not literally drinking eight glasses a day. 😉
Water is essential because it makes up the vast majority of the human body—about 70%. We lose fluids every single day through various means, so that loss has to be replaced somehow, one way or another.

Three liters of water isn't an excessive amount. One liter is far too little for the average person with standard daily activity levels.
If you are working outdoors in the blistering heat, even five liters won't be enough.
On the other hand, if you spend all day sitting in an air-conditioned office, five liters would be overkill.
Regardless, the general recommendation is to consume at least two liters of fluid. That doesn't mean you strictly need to chug eight glasses a day—assuming they are standard 8-ounce servings—because you will likely ingest more than two liters through other means, unless you aren't eating anything at all throughout the day.

Karen Jackson4 said:Stomach bloating? Sure. Just drink a glass of water every hour or two and you'll be fine. Set an alarm if you need to remember.
Of course it helps with weight loss if it aids peristalsis. Is there any diet or "healthy lifestyle" out there that doesn't involve heavy fluid intake?

Drinking a glass of water every one or two hours won't expand your stomach, but it will put unnecessary strain on your kidneys. Unless you have a physically demanding job or it's sweltering outside, drinking that much is pointless. In fact, overhydration isn't even good. A glass every hour is excessive.
No one has ever lost weight simply by drinking water without exercising and cutting calories.

It isn't about hitting some arbitrary eight-glass target. What actually matters is consuming roughly two liters of fluid daily. If you eat a whole watermelon, there's your first liter right there.
I don't follow your logic. How exactly do you expect to lose weight just by increasing your water intake? Here is the flaw in your plan: if you overdo it, excessive fluid consumption can eventually stretch your stomach. You'll find yourself needing even more food or liquid just to feel full again.
Water alone won't make you slim. The only benefit is that water fills your stomach, which might stop you from stuffing yourself with high-calorie foods.

Earplugs are fine, though I wouldn't recommend them if you have any other way to block out the noise. What kind of windows are you working with? High-quality vinyl windows can do a decent job at dampening outside sounds. Unfortunately, none of that matters if you're dealing with loud neighbors living above, below, or right next to your apartment.

If you figure out how, let me know. I'm interested too. I've been waking up earlier and earlier lately, unable to sleep..

The issue with Zone 2 parking is that there's a three-hour limit, which is rarely enough time when you're heading to the Mayo Clinic.

The FATCA questionnaire can be completed during an initial branch visit or simply handled through online banking. There is absolutely no reason to harass customers with phone calls demanding they show up in person. Yet, Chase does exactly that—they just pester people for no reason.
Besides, it seems to me that this specific questionnaire from Chase is more about tracking consumer habits than actually preventing money laundering. If that's the case, there’s no real difference between their calls and those annoying telemarketers trying to sell you a newspaper subscription.

On the Salad. As for anyone else, I couldn't say.

I would personally consider adding oral antifungals into the mix alongside the topical creams. For instance, something like Fluconazole.

I can't believe I'm even typing this, but here we go again. Another day, another absolute circus in this country. It’s like nobody is actually in charge anymore, and everyone is just winging it while the rest of us deal with the fallout. Honestly, I’m losing my mind. kaže:
Look, let’s get one thing straight: no shop is going to hand you groceries if the power is out and they can't ring you up. Period. No business owner is going to risk a massive fine from the IRS just to be nice to some random customer. Every time the grid goes down, shops shut their doors. I’ve never once seen anyone walk into a store with dead registers and actually walk out with a bag of food. It just doesn't happen.

Oh, I definitely have. More times than I care to admit. Half the time our power grid is such a joke that the lights just cut out whenever they feel like it, yet somehow the local grocery store still manages to sell stuff without any issues... Anyway, since we’re talking about the law, it doesn't matter if you know the customer or not. It's all the same. 😉

Look, I never said they wouldn't give me a bill. All I meant was that they’re going to scribble it by hand on some little paper slip first, and then they'll just upload it to the system later once the power actually kicks in.

I don't even know where to start with this one. It’s absolute madness. You see people out there acting like everything is fine, like the systems we rely on aren't completely broken, and it honestly makes my blood boil. I was sitting there the other day, just trying to get some basic stuff done online, and I realized how much we take for granted until it all hits the fan. It’s the same old story every single time. People ignore the red flags because it’s easier than actually dealing with the mess. Well, newsflash: ignoring the problem doesn't make it go away. It just makes the eventual crash a hell of a lot harder to handle. I'm sick of the excuses and I'm definitely sick of the incompetence. We need to wake up and actually face what's happening before we're all left staring at a blank screen wondering where it all went wrong. Enough is enough! Sarah Ruiz42 says:
When is this actually happening? Is the whole country going down? Honestly, who knows. The outage was localized to just one region, and it all traces back to AT&T and their mess with Google.

So what does it matter to me that there’s power somewhere else in the middle of nowhere? It doesn't mean a damn thing! My shop out here in this tiny rural town is sitting in total darkness, and the next nearest outlet is miles away. Absolute joke. 6.2 miles And then what? What's next?

I don't even know where to start with this one. It’s honestly infuriating how much people miss the point. You see these discussions pop up constantly, and it's like everyone is just shouting into a void without actually thinking for two seconds. I’ve had enough of the mindless repetition. If you aren't willing to look at the facts, why are you even talking? Seriously, it's exhausting. kaže:
It absolutely drives me insane when people pull this stunt at the register. You know the one—they pull out a massive wad of cash, shove the whole thing toward the cashier, and say, "Just take whatever." Like, seriously? We aren’t in some old Western movie. It’s awkward, it’s unnecessary, and it makes everyone stand there like idiots. And don't even get me started on the other extreme. You’re standing in line at a Starbucks or a CVS, and the person in front of you starts digging through their wallet like they’re searching for buried treasure. They’re hunting for loose change, counting nickels, checking every single pocket just to cover a few bucks. It takes forever! I’ve got places to be, and I don't need to spend my entire morning watching someone struggle with a handful of pennies. Just use a card and move it along!

That’s a total lie. You can bet your life that paying with cash is lightyears faster than any card transaction. While the system is busy processing your chip or waiting for some signal from AT&T, you've already missed out. There's nothing like handing a cashier actual bills—they grab it, they take it, and they're done. It's faster and more precise than any digital nonsense. I see it every single time I'm out; people fumbling with their wallets while the line builds up behind them. Cash just wins.

Seriously, since when did everyone get so damn arrogant? Where the hell are you all rushing to that every single millisecond matters? Give it a rest with these idiotic delusions of grandeur...

I don't even know where to start with this nonsense. It’s like nobody actually thinks before they open their mouths anymore. I was sitting there yesterday, just trying to get through my morning coffee, and I overheard some guy at the diner spewing the exact same kind of garbage. It’s exhausting. You try to have a logical conversation about how things work in this country, and people just shut down or start shouting about things they clearly don't understand. Honestly, it's infuriating. We need more common sense and a lot less noise. kaže:
Honestly, if you ask me, they’ve gone ahead and killed off cash too. It’s just another way to squeeze people, especially here in this mess of a region where everyone is constantly trying to pull a fast one on you.

I’d scrap credit cards entirely if I had my way. It would be so much fairer for everyone involved. Business would actually be affordable for small companies again, instead of getting squeezed by fees. We’d see way fewer people getting ripped off, fewer endless lawsuits clogging up the courts, and honestly? Just more happy people and way fewer legal loan sharks running the show.

I didn't. I tried to pick up a newspaper at the newsstand last week, but no luck. The power was out, and the clerk refused to sell it to me.
The law is one thing, but whether or not the vendor knows who you are is quite another. If they recognize that you aren't an inspector and you have a rapport, they might make the sale and issue the receipt later. If they don't know you, they certainly won't risk a fine just for your sake. Not even for mine. It is perfectly understandable.

Don't expect that kind of receipting at every shop. In fact, you usually can't. You might get lucky at a few small boutiques, but that's about it.
Ultimately, if someone knows you and trusts you—assuming you won't report them—they might just believe you'll settle up later. That's how people trade goods on credit. Is it legal? No.

What does it matter to the government—which, let’s be honest, just wants to track every cent—if some nuisance and his hundred followers get caught in the crossfire? The priority is stopping the fraud. It doesn't matter if a few individuals end up on the wrong side of the law; what matters is preventing mass-scale scams by retailers.
Besides, you have your own shop. 6.2 miles Keep going. You'll be there in ten minutes by car.

Go to hell. $12 I am 43 years old. You’re kidding me. $17 You wait around for the cashier to count out your change. While she’s digging through the register and counting coins—where she could easily mess up, and honestly, it wouldn't be the first time—I just tap my card and the receipt is already printing. I grab the slip and walk out. She's still there, busy counting cents.

Since when was I acting superior? And since when were you and your little "circle" acting like you own the place?

Besides, someone complained about waiting while the person ahead of them pays by card. Well, deal with it if it’s not such a big deal.

It would be fairer in a functional country where everyone plays by the rules. We don't live in a place like that; we live in a completely different reality. People are constantly looking for loopholes to cheat the government and each other. In a country like ours, oversight is necessary to prevent that kind of fraud. That is why cards are the better solution.
Of course, if cash were ever eliminated, basic debit cards should be free of charge.
Fewer robberies? If you eliminate cash?? Don't make me laugh. Robberies happen wherever there is cash. What kind of thief is going to walk into a corner store and ask the clerk for credit card receipts??

That last point you made is pure nonsense.
