I've been tapering for a while (though with the intent of just getting on the lowest dose), but coming off is an absolute last resort (and "fortunately" you can't die or anything from opiate withdrawal). If it comes to that, I have some extra and could at the very least make it last a while.

I imagine that if it reaches the point that medications completely unrelated to COVID-19 treatment aren't accessible, though, that the situation will be dire to an extent that society will completely cease functioning.

Depends on where it is made. There are already expected shortages of a ton of medications because of China shutting down it just hasn't hit yet because it takes a while to work through the supply chain.

If I had to guess opiates are probably being made in China or their precursors are. Tapering is going to make it a lot easier if you do end up running out. Having extra because you rationed wouldn't be bad either if you have any risk of having the urge to leave your house and go score after being locked inside for a couple weeks and going without.

I've been there man so I know how much it can suck but we do get better!

You can't die but you sure AF feel like you're dying. I'm speaking from personal experience. I've been off opiates since 2010 and benzodiazepines since 2017 (those you can die from seizures)

If I might make a suggestion and ask about clonidine, it really helped me

The NHL literally couldn't do this if they wanted to because the Stanley Cup is actually owned by a separate corporation and the NHL is awarded the trophy through a partnership with them. Technically, the Stanley Cup people could decide to award it to a random other league the next time there's a lockout.

Just as a side note, the Stanley Cup wasn't awarded during the 1919 season due to the Spanish Flu pandemic.

The player was out today they were wiating on test. Rudy was gonna play if test came back negative . It came back positive and those at the arena found out right before tip off. There is another player out and a ref who traveled to the pelicans game. Seems those three are likely showing symptoms.

I work in Washington DC at a theatre (not saying where, but its the big one your probably thinking of) and I just found out from one of my managers that a show I was supposed to be working on for the next 3 days just got canceled only 10 hours before the event.

All the N95's are..."missing" from the supply rooms.

I have my cans of beans and I'm ready to ride this one out.

And I'm sure this was posted a few days ago, but gently caress this thread is moving fast!

I have/had the roni. Got my official Yep, You A Plaguebearer talk from a doc on the phone today - drat near a month after my poo poo got hosed up. My little plague dot should be appearing in the UK tomorrow.

First symptom I noticed was fairly severe muscular and joint pain. Went to the gym, felt like someone had worked me over after s fairly light weight session. Woke up the next day, headache - mostly caused by fatigue and how stiff my neck was, super sore, feeling pretty damned cozy. Mild nose dribblin', light chesty cough. Over the next couple days got hotter and hotter and coughier and coughier and sorer, with my kidneys in particular hurting like an absolute motherfucker. Went to my bed on the Friday, woke up very confused on the Sunday, havingnhad a couple days of weird nightmare and the occasional "oh poo poo I'm drowning" panicky wake up. Fever sweats a bitch, tightness of chest a weird and unfamiliar feeling, absolutely gently caress that poo poo. Started to feel better, had a couple days of "aigt, just a cold, business resumes" and then BAM, back to fever and coughing and sissy bitch breaths. Repeat a few times, woo woo.

The roni seems to jam the door open for any old poo poo to come in and party with it, cause I also got some weird joint swelling, a bad batch of pinkeye and some kinda weird eczema looking poo poo that I am having good fun itching. Lower back feels stiff and achey, and getting weird electric shock feelings in my left leg when I cough - which is fun with a persistent cough. Assume this is a trapped nerve or some poo poo?

Eventually a friend called NHS 24 or whatever it's called now, went to see a veeeeeery well protected doc in a spacesuit who swabbed and took blood and scraped my throat. Few days later which I guess was today, got the Big Speech. Self isolate, warn every motherfucker you know, don't loving go anywhere. Had already self isolated, bored as poo poo, mostly flopping around coughing and being tired. Found out if I sit in a hot bath it eases the ol' chest. Have no idea whatcday/time suits happened on, since the days are merging and my sleeps an bit jacked. Got a buddy bringing me groceries. Feeling betterish now - less about to die, but still weak and fragile. Went for a walk (I live in a rural area, I wasn't gonna meet anyone to infect don't worry) and was aghast at the ding my staminas taken. Walked a mile, slept like some fucker had tranquilized me. Still feel warm, and the cough randomly comes back, but feeling better. Bless you Papa Nurgle.
