Avatar m tn Maybe you were trying to be diplomatic or play it safe but the facts suggest that your statement was flat out wrong. Alcohol has NEVER been shown to play ANY role in HCV reactivation.
10476455 tn?1423121400 You can still enjoy a drink, just pump beforehand so you have milk already, and they actually have tests at most drug stores to test alcohol level in your breast milk so you know when it's okay to feed again, though a small amount will not effect much in the first place. There are many ways around it, it just takes a little ahead of time planning. As far as sagging goes, most likely it'll be the same either way. That's just how it is unfortunately lol.
466909 tn?1207568232 It's nobody's fault but mine that I'm an addict. If I didn't take Oxycontin, I would have found my addiction in the bottom of a bottle of alcohol or another substance. The fact is that Oxycontin, when used correctly and responsibly, helps millions of people with chronic pain live normal lives. It's selfish addictive thinking that makes my addiction more important than their quality of life.
4113881 tn?1415850276 Hi all! I just wanted to share something as I'm really excited. I went to the Alcohol & Drug Counselor certification class orientation last night. It was awesome! Right now Im in my last semester in college and will graduate with my 2 year AA in Social and Behavioral Sciences. That's all fine and good but it doesn't so much make me employable in what I want to do. I want to be a substance abuse counselor and to do that you have to get a recognized certification.
Avatar f tn I know there are whole cultures that are okay with this, but I used to work with fetal alcohol syndrome babies and kids, and they were sometimes worse off than drug-addicted babies. They don't know how much alcohol it takes to create problems, and after that experience I'd never risk doing that to my child by drinking alcohol. Maybe you can substitute with fancy grape juice?
Avatar n tn why is it that when IV drug users share needles, there's a 67% chance of transmission of HIV but if a healthcare worker gets a needle stick laceration, it's a low chance of transmission? why is that? and i it true that the smaller the amount of HIV-infected fluid one is exposed to, the lower the chances of getting infected? like a glass full of blood being more of a transmission threat than a drop of blood?
Avatar f tn What I suggest is icing to reduce the swelling. If there are any cuts clean them out with witch hazel (can be found in a local drug store and it doesn't sting like alchohol) and put an ointment.
2109562 tn?1347253848 If they're irregular, it's possible she's not even the whole 3 months along, which would kind of help because the sooner you quit the better. However, she won't know until the doc appt and shouldn't stress too much about it. What's done is done and cannot be reversed. There's no hard facts on small amounts of liquor because they can't really study it to say ok stop, this much more and your baby will have FAS.
Avatar m tn My childs grades in school are fine, and like I said the only thing he gets in trouble for is laughing and speaking out of turn. I did sound like I was blaming all teachers and I did alter the results of the kids meds, for that I am sorry. I just believe their needs to be more testing done before a teach gives a note to the parents recommending he/she see a doctor. I am a very young parent who loves his kids and would do anything for them.
Avatar m tn Had a pretty brief experience a week ago. I am married and have 2 kids. Been with only my wife for 10 years. Have 100% assurance I have a clean bill of health prior to last weeks drunken decision. Met a girl at a bar and she came back to hotel after many beers. She said at one point she didnt want to do anything since I was a married man but after a while we both started kissing.
Avatar f tn im 16 , im trying to help a loved one get clean, you would be really suprised at how much kids know honestly its ridiculous how accesible drugs and alcohol are.
Avatar f tn How long does alcohol stay in your system so that I can have a clean test for a DUI? I am a few glasses of wine/day drinker.
Avatar n tn ve always wondered about this scenario since this question also applies to other medicines with a long half-life and alcohol or other drug interactions. Feel free to go into any detail, I have a (rusty) background in pharmacology. Thanks in Advance.
Avatar f tn I can understand why some would feel that way...this is one of those super controversial issues and I doubt there will be a concencus on this one. You are correct, I don't want my son growing up to be a smoker, alcohol abuser or pot abuser. But just like not all kids growing up abusing alcohol, they won't grow up abusing pot either. That is part of my job as his mother...to educate him on the dangers. Making it illegal or legal won't change that.
1707536 tn?1334974077 m in has exclusion criteria that includes current or history of alcohol or drug use in past 12 months. I believe drug testing was done in the screening phase. However, since I didn't use any drugs/alcohol, I didn't really pay much attention to what they tested for. If you want to participate in a study it's important that its "rules" be adhered to. If not, the results may be skewed. We all depend on the results being reliable.
214255 tn?1205635636 it would be great for you and your daughter if you could quit all this stuff...try getting a boyfriend thats not a drug and alcohol freak..the sx will depend on how long and how much you drank..and if you snorted or shot dope then maybe get a test for hep c...sx can get pretty intence for the first couple weeks...mine lasted much longer....good luck..
Avatar f tn I have seen him 3 times since I took the test but suddenly on Monday he said my drug screen was positive for alcohol. I was devastated because I do not drink, not even occasionally. I do not even cook with alcohol. Now I feel that I am under suspicion. They did another random drug screen on Monday but now I feel that he is not going to have the confidence in me that he used to. What should I do?
Avatar m tn When I see someone asking a question such as this I am wary about answering since it is apparent this is a problem for you. Pleeease be careful and see your family practitioner for recommendations re this. See this site for more info drugs.com I copied and pasted this for you. MONITOR: Enhanced hypoprothrombinemic response to warfarin has been reported in patients with acute alcohol intoxication and/or liver disease.
Avatar m tn in my biopsychology class we are taught that alcohol is the most dangerous drug to withdrawal from (heroin is the most painful, but you can't die from it). Not to scare you, but if you're gonna spend a weekend taking heavy doses of a drug, you're gonna spend the same amount of time in heavy recovery. Things will be fine if you can learn from this, as our bodies have the ability to recover. Addiction sets in for some, so be aware.
Avatar f tn t say stop mum your hurting me, but you can make the choice to say, IM not going to hurt my baby by smoking pot while pregnant. No drug or alcohol is the smart thing to do. Don't let anyone tell you different, every drug is a mood enhancer, it changes the way you feel, it's chemicals have the ability to give you a high or low with you having no control over it, so of coarse the baby will be affected in some way.
Avatar f tn First, an acute dose of alcohol (a single drink or several drinks over several hours) may inhibit a drug's metabolism by competing with the drug for the same set of metabolizing enzymes. This interaction prolongs and enhances the drug's availability, potentially increasing the patient's risk of experiencing harmful side effects from the drug.
656944 tn?1241632187 I cant live my life worrying about pills any longer, I hate this life. I love my kids and husband so much, they are my world. Never been a drug addict on the street just a closet pill popper that has become so addicted that its the only thing on my mind and when I am out my family suffers with me. Please as I could use your prayers, They cant start me until April 29th but its better than never. Thank you all for this forum as I read it daily just dont post.
Avatar m tn hi. ya, ibi is correct, excessive alcohol consumption, especially with someone who is chemically dependent, can trigger totally uncharacteristic and sometimes violent outbursts in the kindest of souls. i was never very violent drinking, but my personality did shift. frequently there is a jekyll/hyde scenario, and the drunk side of the equation can be unpredictable.
Avatar f tn Misuse of propoxyphene, either alone or in combination with other CNS depressants, has been a major cause of drug-related deaths, particularly in patients with a history of emotional disturbances, suicidal ideation, or alcohol and drug abuse.
