Snowglobe of Doom posted:The price has since dropped fairly dramatically but even though we've had an effective cure for Hep-C for a decade now the US still sees 15,000 preventable deaths caused by Hep-C annually because many people in the US who catch Hep-C still can't access this treatment If they just cured everybody of a communicable disease and new cases stopped, that would destroy the market valuation of that drug, can you imagine the damage done to small and mid-sized stock portfolios in distressed sectors??

Washington state's weekly wastewater update, cobbled together from the state's downloadable excel report and supplemented with scaled National Wastewater Surveillance System (NWSS) data when available. Solid lines are from WADoH data and white diamond dots applied to scale are from most recent CDC/NWSS data (if available). The WADoH dashboard graphs using a different tableset than what they provide via the download link. I'm not entirely sure why other than the graph they show is attached to the table (right-click their Power BI graph to view) is after they take the Excel data and calculate the 7-day rolling average. Sometimes this appears quite different. I've distributed 30 sewersheds across 5 charts grouped by approximate geographical region then alphabetized by county. See the tables below each image for definitions of WADoH IDs, Date last sampled, Trend (based on change between the averages of the two most recent weeks measured), and Service Area for city names/regions.

The Oldest Man posted:Not loving that the messaging is strategy is that long covid victims aren't a priority for the big new marquee COVID initiative and funding stream because that's being solved by RECOVER right after the analysis of what happened to all the RECOVER funding found that the money's basically all gone and hasn't generated any candidate treatment trials there’s definitely multiple biomarkers for PASC. autoimmune treatments exist for some autoantibodies. Hopefully monoclonal, stem cell and peptide treatments will be scaled up and cheaper  seems like a good idea to avoid catching more of the lil’protein plague imho

Since it was mentioned, interesting side note I saw float by regarding Harvoni/sofosbuvir is that apparently some people are anecdotally having good experiences using it for their Long COVID, and there have been a few studies that show promise. Additionally, it may have had some ameliorative effect during chronic infection. Hopefully more research into antivirals and COVID, both long and acute, will keep happening.

This sounds like it could be vascular damage. Your heart pumps blood out through your arteries, but veins use a combination of mechanisms to pump blood back to your heart, mechanisms that are helped by movement. If those mechanisms are damaged then standing still can cause blood to pump too slowly through your veins which can then cause the numbness and feeling faint and the body compensates in ways that make your heart rate increase and to feel short of breath. At least, that's what I remember of how it was explained to me ages ago. Ask your doctor of course if that could be it and maybe get them to refer you to a vascular specialist to see if that's what's up if they don't know. If you can't and need to just try things then the main 3 ways to combat this are frequent moving and avoiding still periods, compression stockings, and vascular massaging. The first one, moving, is always good so definitely try that, just things like flexing and moving your hands and feet about can be enough. The compression stockings I think are safe to do as well but you should check if there are warnings on them. That last one is apparently possible to gently caress up so don't try it without a medical professional/physical therapist showing you how. EDIT: Also you'd want to be careful about what you're doing to your blood with what you consume. Stay hydrated and avoid large intakes of salt, sugar, or fat. You don't have to avoid them entirely, just don't dump a whole bunch of that poo poo into your bloodstream all at once. This is another thing that is just a good idea anyway so you can freely do it. The stay hydrated was something I was told, the other ones are things I noticed could make my extremities numb if I wasn't careful. Phigs has issued a correction as of 00:26 on Aug 24, 2023 |

At least, that's what I remember of how it was explained to me ages ago. this is all very good to know and at least points me in the right direction next time I see my doctor, so thank you! see, here’s the thing - it actually isn’t intolerable in most situations. I walk a lot for work and as long as I’m moving I’m fine, and if I’m standing by and not doing anything I can sit or at least pace around to alleviate it. but I’m in a choir, and I can’t exactly sit whenever I want or pace around when I’m on stage. also, needless to say, getting short of breath isn’t great when you’re trying to sing! I had to leave the stage in the middle of a big concert I’d been really looking forward to last summer, and while I learned of the compression stocking trick shortly after and it helps somewhat, I’m still generally miserable while performing and basically can’t do it for more than twenty minutes, on a good day. I really, really don’t want to have to quit my choir over this

Anyways and while we are on the subject, it is worth keeping in mind that PoTS is very common among PASC sufferers: "High Incidence of Autonomic Dysfunction and Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome in Patients with Long COVID: Implications for Management and Health Care Planning" https://www.amjmed.com/article/S0002-9343(23)00402-3/fulltext posted:Abstract Yeah, yeah small n, but the chance of 79% meeting the criteria as a random artifact of chance are slim.

My friend with POTS told me she's actually had to drastically up her sodium intake along with hydrating more. Something along the lines of increasing sodium enables you to retain more of the extra water you're consuming.

Just don't think you can cram all that salt in at once, you need to spread it out. Also I dunno that I'd up my salt intake without medical advice considering high salt intake can also be bad depending on what else you've got going on.
