Seattle Sperm Bank AI images

I am pretty disturbed by this. I paid to subscribe to Seattle Sperm Bank to see adult photos of donors. All of the adult photos on their website are modified using AI. I contacted them to request a refund because of these AI generated images and they confirmed that yes, all of their adult photos are modified. (But they would not refund). I don’t feel comfortable putting such a huge decision into a company that is modifying photos of donors.

Mysterious pain

Hi, I am dealing with mystery pain and I would love to find a cause and - even better - a solution.

I am a healthy 40 year old female.

A little over one year ago I did IVF. The nurse messed up my IVF and the vein blew when they tried to administer the sedative. They switched the IV to a new arm and administered sedation again. I woke up with a pulmonary embolism (unable to breathe).

At the hospital I started blood thinners and was on these for 6 months. during this time I began having significant pain. my entire body ached, especially my ankles and feet. there were days I could not even walk. it felt like there were swollen painful pillows on my feet and ankles. I was also rapidly gaining weight - 10 lbs a month without any explanation. I went to numerous doctors. finally a doctor ran an autoimmune panel and I was diagnosed with drug-induced Lupus. I was told to stop the blood thinners - the cause of the drug-induced Lupus. it’s been 8 months since I stopped the medication, but I still hurt. I took prednisone for a few days in February and the pain vanished for a few months, but now it is back.

the medications I took were Lupron, Menopur, follistim, gonal, elliquis. I take no medication now except constant pain medication and vitamins.

thank you!

Hi, I ordered a storage item from Wayfair. I hired someone to assemble it and came home to discover I was sent a much smaller item than I ordered. I paid to have this assembled and it’s the wrong thing. What can I do?
