A place for my thoughts. Maybe yours. Maybe we can talk. It's up to you and whether or not you post here.

Just don't be a jerk.

My ex-wife has been trying to contact me for a few weeks while I've been ignoring her because I assumed it was just more bullshit like always. But she managed to get in contact with my dad and the reason she has been trying to get a hold of me is because she apparently tested positive for syphilis and has had it for several years. So now I have to go get checked myself... Fucking A, man... I'm allergic to penicillins and I know that's the treatment if I end up having it. Not even in my life anymore and she still manages to cause me stress.

I can get tested for free right? I've been having trouble getting my Medicare back after only recently finding out it hasn't been active for the past 2 years.

My allergy was a recent development. Got strep throat about 3 years ago, was giving penicillin for a couple weeks and like 4 days before I would have ran out, I had a major allergic reaction to it. I was always taking amoxicillin or penicillin when I would get sick with stuff as a kid and never had any problems.

Planned Parenthood is free. Your PCM or an urgent care clinic could run around $200? I think? They'll probably run an RPR test to confirm after hearing your history. +/- $40 for pharmacy if you're positive or negative.

Some signs of syphilis (you don't need to answer these):
Did you ever get a painless chauncer (ulcer lookin thing) on the head of your penis?
Did you ever get a painless rash or sore on your palms?

Additional symptoms include fever, swollen lymph glands, sore throat, patchy hair loss, headaches, weight loss, muscle aches, and fatigue. These are usually late symptoms.

Haven't had any symptoms at all that I could attribute to anything out of the ordinary; muscle aches and fatigue maybe, but that's every day even when I'm healthy. I wouldn't put it past her to just make something like this up just to fuck with me, though.
