Hi all! I (38f) have an FNA biopsy coming up on the 13th. I have a 0.8cm TIRAD 5 that they won't biopsy because it's under 1.0 cm. and a 1.6cm TIRAD4 that they are performing the FNA on. I'm quite freaked out for obvious reasons, but also they are giving me no numbing or pain medication. They are using an ice pack to "numb the skin" and then just going for it. Seems barbaric to me, and I'm very scared.

I have Kaiser Permanente, and if any of y'all have ever had them for insurance, you know that they don't really reassure you or tell you anything. They kinda just abandon you.

Well, I'm here to ask, is there anything I should know before hand? Anything I need to buy for comfort? Anything I can do to prep myself mentally or physically? Any advice? Thank you in advance!!

Y'all, please help. I have acrylics but I can't find a good artist. I'm currently going to Solar in Keizer and I've had 2 broken acrylics and 1 acrylic completely pop off the nail in the last 4 months since going to this place. I'm not doing anything crazy with my nails to warrant nail breakage. I had acrylics years ago when I lived in Albany, the whole 6 years I only had a nail break TWICE and I worked in food service! This is ridiculous.

I tried OMG Nails and Top Line Nails and both places did a poor job and my nails were bumpy and looked like ass. I'm pretty easy going....but nah lol. Not for almost $100.

Anyway, please suggest some places!
