Help me with this. I am 5 days from the end so OF course I am scared out of my mind for false positives. I have orders for Benedryl and had the worst allergy attack yesterday having me take Zyrtec and Benedryl. I got picked FINALLY option 6. Ran to my drug tests I bought online damn it if they will tell me it was a false positive. That faint line under the Benzos and TCA ( I am on Prozac) are still negative right? 20200911_071619.thumb.jpg.56deaf29ef36d66f02ee241e14f271f2.jpg

When we did drug tests on our rehab pts any line was considered a negative. Sort of like a reverse pregnancy test!

I would have counted it as a negative. Any faint line means negative. Thats how we read it. Seems backwards, but that's how they are read. If you have orders you should be fine. I had orders for a decongestant when I first started, got a positive. My monitor accused me of using (wouldn't tell me or what of course.) She never bothered to look at my meds that had been ordered. I sobbed for two weeks straight. The MRO threw it out before he even called me. First source actually refunded me. LOL! This has been the most horrible, embarrassing, humiliating experience of my life. 

I am due to be released in six days and just sick over it. Two year agreement has spanned three years because no one wanted to hire me. I have had five observed tests in the past two months. During a pandemic. When no one wants to do them. They don't care, they wanted me to fail. They wanted me to walk away and quit this impossible nightmare. 

You got this, hold your head high. You are so close. Even if we walk away after this, we made it through their bs.

I will be honest I have heard horror stories regarding case managers in PNAP and the PHMP. Not sure how I got so so so lucky but my two are AMAZING almost would say at a friend/respect level. I think I am driving them nuts. I got a tattoo two days ago and emailed them to make sure that was okay and they were like yup then asked what I was getting. After 6 years with them I have never asked anything just knew I was doing everything right. Now 4 DAYS away I am paranoid as S!,%

Because its too good to be true. After giving up so many basic freedoms for our mistakes we cant believe we are able to live like regular people. Take NyQuil. WHA?? Actually get things treated correctly. WHA?? I get walking pneumonia annually and only take the antibiotics if prescribed. I suffer with cough, congestion, and misery every year after that first year. The relief I would have felt wasn't worth the witch hunt. 

You're so close!

I’m in PNAP too & am extremely grateful for my CM- she has been wonderful. She even advocated for me when I had a false positive, and after dealing with the board & having a HORRIFIC experience (a whole other terrible story), I realized PNAP is simply a liaison between us & the board and their advocacy holds some, but very little bearing. 
Anyway, big congrats on nearing the end!! Your test appears totally negative, even if the line is faint.
