Thank you so much! I just wanted to be sure. I don't want any hiccups, because I have given up alcohol and I don't want it to look like I have and break the trust with people in my life. Have a great day!

Hello, I was wondering if any nurses in monitoring have issues with urine etg screenings after getting a pedicure? I'm wanting to get one but concerned about the acetone in nail polish remover? Any info would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance and have a great day! ☺️

I had my first PETH test after 64 days! It was negative as have all my urine tests have been. I had another PETH 2 weeks ago with negative results. In my monitoring I am told when it's going to be PETH in my check in status. I no longer drink alcohol and try and avoid any foods containing alcohol to the best of my knowledge. If I'm unsure, I just won't eat it. I also use alcohol free mouthwash and hand sanitizer. I wear gloves with everything at work and even using cleaning products in my house. It can be nerve racking to say the least. I also have a prescription for everything I take down to my Allegra and naproxen just to cover all bases. I hope this helps!

Hello, I have to see my primary every 3-6 months, and they upload my currently prescribed medications on the board website. It is in my contract I am allowed allergy medications as long as they don't have pseudoephedrine or diphenhydramine in them. The allegra I take has neither one, only has fexofenadrine in it. I don't take Allegra-D. But, I am going to talk with my provider anyway about it, just to be covered. We discussed it on my initial visit with him when contract began. I believe it is already on my approved list of medications. BUT, I am going to double check with him. I always communicate with the board via email as to have a paper trail. Thank you so much for all your assistance!!

Hello!! I finally got my test results. They were held up because of bad weather. They were negative!! Yay!! I have an upcoming appointment with my primary and I will speak with him about allegra, I told him at the beginning, but just to be sure. My allergies are horrible and I am absolutely miserable without it. Thank you again so much!!

Thank you, my PETH test was negative and all the UAs I have done have been negative, but I just done one Tuesday and haven't received results yet via recovery trek and that is unusual. Has me stressed. I started taking an oral liquid multivitamin for women, Mary Ruths Organic for hair growth and took an allegra, a plain allegra, not the one with decongestant. According to my board paperwork, I am allowed MVIs and my doctor knows about the allegra. I haven't had any alcohol and I do not do drugs at all. This stuff is so stressful and I have 3 more years, I could just cry again over the worry. I really am trying.

Hello, I was wanting to get a pedicure and manicure but unsure if it will affect my urine screens and/or PETH tests? Also, I did urine screen on Monday 01/13 and I still haven't received my results? It's through Recovery Trek and they have been being posted the next day? I haven't changed anything, but I started taking Mary Ruth's Organic liquid daily am women's multivitamin with hair growth. I was told I could take a multivitamin daily by state board without doctor's script or acknowledgement.

Thank you so much!! I passed my PETH test, received results Saturday. My mind is at ease now. And I can prove to people I wasn't lying about not drinking. I have so many more questions about dos and donts with this type of testing though. I am so new to it. Thank you again!!

Thank you! 60 days no alcohol. I appreciate it so much. All of my urines have been negative. I will be able to try and rest now. Have a good night!

Hi, I am new to monitoring and am scheduled to take a PETH test today. I have quit drinking all together, not even worth it. My 60 days was January 3rd. This will be my first PETH test and I'm nervous over cinnamon rolls, donuts, lotion and perfume? Crazy, that I even have to stress over these things. Has anyone had any experience with these items or any advice? Thank you in advance.
