It’s Wednesday, 1:26pm, 4 minutes until we close for lunch until 2pm. I’m helping

I work in Europe and when visiting this subreddit, I'm surprised how strict the retail pharmacy sector seems to be in the US. Counting pills, for example. In my country, we use blisters.

I normally have a pretty bad fear of falling, but have been making some progress recently. Then, very recently, I went to the climbing gym and was extremely emotional (crying a quarter

Hi guys! I just got my copper IUD (Paragard) inserted about 2 hours ago and I am feeling great and so proud of myself. I was pretty nervous because I had never had kids or intense cramps so I didn't know much to expect pain-wise but I knew that I wanted to try it. ​ **Background:** I had

I’ve been using Tri-sprintec and generics to it for about 7 months now. I love it, I have had some pros and cons though. I take my pills every night within 1-2hrs before or after 10:20pm (EST). I do a break week every pack. I’ve only ever missed two pills only to take them ASAP and then continue my
