Avatar f tn I would say wait a little and say something after you are about to show. UNLESSyou are in a work environment where people need to know for yours and baby's safety. For example, I am pregnant with me 2nd and I work in a pharmacy as a technician. My coworkers need to know because there are some drugs I can't handle for baby's safety. I'm only 8 weeks and they knew about 3 weeks ago. Just to take precautions!
Avatar n tn I work in an office environment that was created for us in the basement of a lovely hotel. The space is nice and when I started I had a nice office with a window. I often work down here by myself, but by having a window, allowing natural sunlight to come in and fresh air, it helped a lot. I could hear the church bells ring across the streets, the birds, and just the outside world.
Avatar m tn There is no way you can escape the fumes and the overspray in the shop when you are in full production, approximately around 8 painters applying paint. While Iam working in my office which is around 50% of the time the fumes get so heavy that it shortens my breath and makes me very sick. I went to my pulmonologist and he had me take a CT scan with contrast. The results are as follows: Both lungs demonstrate diffuse emphysematous changes with hyperlucency.
Avatar m tn Welcome to the forum. Thanks for your question. This doesn't sound at all unsafe to me. There are two basic reasons why HIV is not transmitted in the environment. First, assuming HIV exists in the environment, the amount of virus that could have contact with susceptible cells would almost certainly be too low fro transmission to occur.
Avatar f tn Well, I don't know the specifics of all of them but I DO know that there's something or another with at least cats called toxoplasmosis (that's prolly spelled incorrectly) that is a microscopic parasite that CAN be in their feces and you DON'T want to be exposed to that, altho it isn't what I would call common I don't think
13089429 tn?1436037535 So I work at a dental office and iv been finding it pretty difficult working while pregnant. I just miscarried in April and I'm now 7wks, I'm so tired and the doctor I work for annoys me to the T!! I feel as if me being pregnant is a burden to her, yesterday we had a little dispute because she gave me an attitude about me being concerned about the nitrous "laughing gas" having a leak! I feel as if she's so inconsiderate of me being cautious about my pregnancy.
Avatar f tn Can anyone give me any tips for working? I work at McDonalds and still have to do heavy lifting and do just as much work as everyone else.. I also don't get to pee when I need to which is painful. Any tips on how I can get them to go a bit easier on me without people thinking I'm receiving special treatment?
Avatar m tn I am 6 weeks pregnant and my work does not have a policy of moving me outside the lab while pregnant. I cannot leave work so I am forced to stay working in the lab. Some of the chemicals I work with are Chloroform, toluene, acetonitrile, dimethyl formamide and others. I do not use these chemicals on a daily basis but maybe once a week or so and I work under the hood with protective gloves.
Avatar f tn Im 25 weeks pregnant,when should i stop working ? Its starting to take a tole on my body ?Any suggestions ?
Avatar f tn If your question was the latter, there are a number of variables and no ONE absolute answer. The hollow-bore needle creates an isolated airtight environment where a volume of blood is SOMEWHAT protected and consequently HIV can remain viable longer than in the open air. The size of the needle, the volume of blood contained within it, the HIV viral load of that blood and ambient temperature would all have a significant effect on the lifespan of HIV inside the syringe.
Avatar m tn Working in an anatomical pathology lab, there should be extreme safety protocols in place for employees and as a tech, you should be fully aware of them and follow them religiously. You mentioned taking off your mask but said nothing about your gloves. Please tell me you wear gloves You had NO RISK for HIV. I strongly recommend you discuss safety issues with your employer.

Avatar m tn Former FDA Reviewer Speaks Out About Intimidation, Retaliation and Marginalizing of Safety The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is often accused of serving industry at the expense of consumers. But even FDA defenders are shocked by reports this week of an institutionalized FDA spying program on its own scientists, lawmakers, reporters and academics that included an enemies list of "actors" and collaborators.
Avatar f tn You're on a very low dose, so that's good that it's working. As to the question of long-term damage, nobody knows, so there is no answer. And just to clarify, you have no lack of serotonin -- nobody's ever shown a lack of serotonin in anyone. What an ssri such as Paxil does is prevent the normal breakdown of serotonin so it's used longer than would naturally be the case.
Avatar f tn I live in a bad environment where my mom is always yelling and screaming and cussing and my older sister talks down on me and never having any privacy. 8 people living in a 3 bedroom house! Having to hear my mom talk **** about me and how i have a act like an adult, but she doesnt let me stay the night at my boyfriends house or move out. She wants me and my baby to sleep in a room with her my little sister and little brother. And wants me to bunk in a bed with my brother.
Avatar n tn It seems to me that when they are receiving state aid help with this single mom trying very hard to be both parents and working diligently, that the daycare should have some interventions rather than removal.

Avatar f tn My advice to you is, Just be careful, like Jason said, you have to keep your safety in mind along with the safety for others.
