Moderna booster and flu shot at 5:30PM last night. Came home and made a batch of Italian wedding soup (very labor intensive - takes about two hours). Felt fine other than my left/COVID arm was a little sore, flu arm was not. Got up and went for a haircut. Got home a little before 10 and felt a little tired so I went to lay down for an hour or so. Next thing I knew it's 2PM and I'm just now getting up and feeling lethargic as hell. Left arm is very sore, right still feels fine. Still worth it.

Got my Pfizer booster last night and the side effects are like dose 2 but dialed up. Almost 102.5 fever, horrible chills, bones ache, head aches, skin aches, can't sleep, so thirsty. Interesting thing is that I got it a couple hours earlier in the evening than my first two, but the next day symptoms timeline followed the same timing. Wonder if there's something tied in with my circadian rhythm. I am very, very glad I never had covid to my knowledge, I imagine I would have been hosed up by it. On the other hand, husband is just feeling generally blah.

I felt like poo poo for days after AZ. My 19 year old son had a bit of a sleep for an hour on the sofa the day after his and then got up like “I’m fine now! Where’s lunch?”

It was really bizarre. And I definitely am not upset that I have side effects! I appreciate my immune system very much. And it's an excuse to groan on the couch and not do anything constructive.

Study out of Israel showing a massive boost in protection from a third pfizer shot vs just two https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lancet/article/PIIS0140-6736(21)02249-2/fulltext Those with the third shot had 88% fewer documented infections than those with just two, and similarly large reductions in symptomatic cases, hospitalizations and deaths. You can see the incidence of infections in each age group drop in the order they were approved for third shots.  Looks like they are at least as big a deal as we thought.

Got my mix-and-match Pfizer booster at a Walgreen's yesterday, from a nice pharma bro who seemed stoned out of his gourd. Nothing so far but a sore arm and a general feeling of unease, but I got my second Moderna around the same time of day as the booster and I didn't feel really bad until around noon. So we'll see how it goes, if it's especially bad I'll take an edible and sit around watching horror movies. I mean that was my plan for the day anyways so

Booster update: Not bad! I feel vaguely blah but this is not even close to how I felt during my second dose. Just sort-of under the weather, like I'd call in sick for work if I felt like this but I can still function.

I'm still amazed that in the UK you can't just get a booster. I had my 2 jabs 6 months ago and more and more people I know are catching covid, I rarely get to WFH, so why can't I just have the option? Stoopid country.

Went to a haunted house with the kids yesterday that was put together by a youth club. Per provincial restrictions, they asked for our vaccine passport at the door. The family behind us saw this, and ended up leaving the line looking disappointed. Is your pathetic defiance worth ruining fun family activities you ignorant cucks?

Welp looks like I got covid (am vaccinated) the exhaustion is brutal but by far the worse part is not being able to taste or smell anything at all. It's hella depressing. I bet I'll bust as soon as I taste something again.

You can if you're in a vulnerable group - which if you had your second jab six months ago you presumably are? That would put you with a first jab in Feb/March, when I think they were only doing them for vulnerable groups (including OAPs) and healthcare workers.

Marmaduke! posted:Was more like start of May and end of June but got lucky as they pushed things forward a bit (not vulnerable and only a bit old!), which is really what they should be thinking about doing now. I think they'll make that decision at the very last moment (I know, shocker, right) but I really wouldn't be surprised if they said that the lack of death rate tracking with case rate strongly suggests there's no need for any more boosters. That there's almost no way for the school chums of Tory ministers to make money off the vaccination programme will, I'm sure, not enter into that equation at all, and there *definitely* won't be any approval of it for private clinics, no sir, that would be ridiculous. I'd personally really like them to push boosters for all through November and December - even for people who are only 2-3 months past their second dose - to try and mitigate the damage caused by big blowout family Christmases that are definitely going to be happening this year. e: If you *really* want a booster, sign up with the RVS - https://nhsvolunteerresponders.org.uk/i-want-to-volunteer/volunteer-roles - and do a shift at a vaccine centre, that both makes you frontline medical staff so eligible and also means you're going to be in the general vicinity of lots of lovely syringes and a quick chat with the clinical lead will probably find one making its way into your arm before the end of December which is when you'd otherwise be eligible. goddamnedtwisto fucked around with this message at 23:35 on Oct 31, 2021 |

Like not learning disabilities which was for the first set. Also I don’t get one as a disability carer because I don’t work for the NHS, which is going to be problematic for private care home workers.

learnincurve posted:Sort of, it’s only specific vulnerable people. Like not learning disabilities which was for the first set. Might be worthwhile talking to the doctor of the person you're caring for, as they *should* be able to just say they're vulnerable regardless of the specific conditions JCVI or whoever have set up, and as their carer that makes you automatically eligible too. I think private care workers should be okay too - I'm eligible through my RVS volunteering and my niece through the charity she works for, in both cases pretty much based on the orgs involved saying "Yep, they're front line medical staff" (and in all 4 jabs we had between us not once was that eligibility questioned, it was just a tick-box on the original online form). Of course this makes it all the sillier that they're making more deserving people jump through hoops.

Pinecone Sample posted:It was literally introduced as an anti-depressant before it was approved to treat OCD. Mental illness is also not some cleanly segmented thing. We know very little about mental illness and such things are not so clear-cut. Even diagnosis is subjective. I could go to three different doctors and get three different diagnoses, largely because the study of mental illness has changed dramatically over even the last decade and is based largely on self-reported symptoms. There is no drug test that says you have depression, or OCD, or whatever. So you might have depression with mild anxiety, anxiety with mild depression, depression that causes anxiety, anxiety that causes depression, et cetera. Obsessive features are the same way. I have obsessive-compulsive tendencies (example: intrusive thoughts) with a family history of OCD (my sister has it bad, like "has to turn in place ten times before she feels 'right' again" bad) but nothing bad enough to qualify as an actual OCD diagnosis. My psychiatrist might prescribe me something known for treating OCD in addition to being an SSRI to help suppress those symptoms while possibly giving me some depression relief on top, even though I don't have OCD on paper but I do have depression and anxiety and ADHD. To say "literally nobody would be prescribed this for this purpose!" is very ignorant of how medications, especially off-label uses, work in practice. A good psychiatrist is going to target symptoms instead of going by on-paper diagnoses. Do not get the idea that mental illnesses are clearly separated categories, more like a slew of brain chemicals that can go wrong, some more than others, and some pills suppress certain chemicals better than others. P.S.: "oh OCD people have a lower chance of getting it" is kind of a fallacy because for as much as my sister washes her hands raw, she has no problem sharing the same space with my chud antivax aunt without a mask on. Compulsions are not exactly based in pure logic or anything (and not every OCD haver has cleanliness stuff). Tiny Myers fucked around with this message at 01:59 on Nov 1, 2021 |

I was going to chime in that SSRIs as a class are generally considered antidepressants, and while I'm as anti-chud as the next person the hoping for suicidal side effects was unpleasantly weird.Tiny Myers posted:P.S.: "oh OCD people have a lower chance of getting it" is kind of a fallacy because for as much as my sister washes her hands raw, she has no problem sharing the same space with my chud antivax aunt without a mask on.

OCD is one of those things where the colloquial term and the clinical term are leagues apart, and clinical OCD is a significant mental illness that shouldn't be made light of. Clinical OCD can get into psychotic territory, and should be thought of as seriously as bipolar or schizophrenia, not "LOL Howie Mandel is a germphobe" crap.

I do hope it doesn't dissuade anyone from getting their shots, I just was happy to be able to plan for side effects. And like dose 2, I woke up feeling absolutely fine today (2 days later) except for a short wave of extreme fatigue around 3pm.

I appreciate seeing them hoisted with their own petard as much as the next person, but I can see how revelling in a person’s pharmacologically‐induced suicidal ideation, specifically, could make a person who experienced such things uncomfortable. I don’t think that Ivermectin has that problem. Few people have any trauma relating to Ivermectin side effects, because it’s an uncommon and medically supervised treatment, and the side effects it does have are of a different species than those of SSRIs.

The horse paste side effects build up over time with fair warning from a body and you can recover quite quickly without any lasting damage. So yes, chuds stuck on the toilet is funny. Drugs that gently caress with your mind in a bad way are bad. People should start a thing where they say weed is a great covid cure, maybe get the maga lot to chill out.

Noted. Just a bit inconsistent maybe but I can live with inconsistent. There are a lot more people who understand and have the experiences of the side effects of SSRIs than of horse paste and they’ve been prescribed the former for legitimate reasons than the latter for “I have rocks for brains” reasons. It’s easier to laugh at crazy people taking crazy meds for crazy reasons because there is no sympathy there, nothing to relate to. Furthermore, there is still a stigma around mental illness and taking medication for that. Whole lotta dimensions. I have little empathy for chuds taking SSRIs and having the side effects because christ almighty go to an actual loving professional. Though silver lining, I can without a doubt say that there are chuds who probably need SSRIs and are finally taking them, even if you need to wrap it in a bacon snack. Like I can laugh at people taking that mercury that makes you blue because it’s top to bottom bonkers but chuds taking HCQ is kind of a bummer because it caused a shortage with those who legit take it for legit reasons. Comedy is complicated, difficult and sometimes needs a fine toothed comb to get to the joke.

Well TBF my reflection was not that we are OK with joking about horse paste users, it's that we are seemlingly OK with wishing death by Covid-19 on anti-vaxxers (see every post about Florida). But not death by suicide. I mean, I get it, I see why someone who has been under treatment for depression and/or suffered suicidal thoughts in the past would find what I wrote tasteless. I just figured the thread didn't worry about taste. My bad, and I'll not insist that I was in the right in posting it.

I'm waiting to get labs done at my doctor's office and got my flu and tetanus booster. My nurse practitioner said with my history of drinking that she wants me to get my covid booster. I didn't think that qualified but it's the VA and she said she'd be worried what covid would do to my not-so-top-shape system. So I'm scheduled to get it on the 19th. Well after the 6 month mark. She suggested it and works for the government so I'll take it.
