DHA and omegas L-Glutathione N-acetyl cysteine (NAC) try experimenting with nutrition like aminos, probiotics and a high quality multivitamin. higher doses can be harmful so be careful of your intake with supplements. minimize filler ingredients when possible. try a variety of antioxidants stay hydrated with electrolytes like magnesium glycinate, potassium, sodium in water and generally minimize lovely processed foods from your diet. try to get some exercise if you can tolerate it and haven’t recently had covid.

Daily News is a rag, which is why it was surprising to see this apparently earnest piece there (either way, the description of Howard Stern amused me):https://www.nydailynews.com/2023/09/15/as-covid-surges-again-behave-like-howard-stern/ posted:As COVID surges again, behave like Howard Stern I probably wouldn't go that far, at least not in a general sense.

I'm now worried about cognitive effects from my covid 6 months ago, I am pretty sure I am making many more typos and misspellings than before. I don't notice any other effects, on concentration or thinking/speaking/reading, but now I'm paranoid. I had some real bad neurocognitive (bad sleep, headaches, irritability, 'brain fog' type stuff etc) and cardiovascular (tingling legs, POTS type symptoms) issues after my bout of Delta in 2021. What solved them, for me anyways IANAD yadda yadda etc: -Rest. Sleep. Don't use your brain too much. You need to RELAX. -Vitamins with evidentiary support for various roles in antiviral activity: D and K, magnesium, niacin supplements (I was taking Fenugreek supplements under advice of my MD anyways so I just upped it to the max daily recommended dosage) and other stuff. You can always check for published research articles from good journals (anything that has been cited elsewhere many times is usually a safe bet, caveats notwithstanding) for "evidence" of what works and what's probably bullshit but also make sure you check with an MD if you're on medications. And be sure to know the difference between ones you can safely take lots of (eg D3 is pretty safe to take 3 to 4,000 iu a day based on several studies of using it for COVID purposes etc, but please don't take more than the recommended daily dose of magnesium for instance). Educate yourself but do it cautiously and don't just start two fisting supplements willy nilly. -Supplements with evidentiary support for cardiovascular/anticlotting properties (mainly nattokinase and serrapeptase). I stopped taking both once my symptoms improved because both of these are actually pretty serious drugs in terms of potential long term blood thinning effects etc but similarly I found them legit effective. YMMV again. -A full series (3 shots at roughly the optimal spread) of Novavax that I was able to hack the system into giving me somehow, despite BC doing their best to make vaccination impossible. I'm sure this is all psychosomatic self-soothing or whatever, but I really do think the fact that Novavax has a "better" array of antibody responses helped to clear up some viral reservoirs or whatever the gently caress long COVID (partially) is. I have heard the same from a few other Moth Matrix Enjoyers so I will die on this dumb hill but obviously that's not medical advice either. (I'm personally waiting the few extra days for the Novavax update to drop then booking the first available pharmacy booking I can find in Washington and driving down to pay full price for that bad boy, my own experience vs both Modera and Phizer is night and day worth it) If I had pick one, it's rest. Rest like it's your job, for as many weeks as you can.

Ya'll got any good info, like words/tweets/paragraphs/papers from someone like Leonardi discussing how paxlovid isn't the reason your body isn't developing antibodies so you keep getting covid and actually it's because covid is a little piece of poo poo that doesn't care about your immunity. Got a friend who has used pax before but now on their third infection and they are wondering if the pax is making them not build immunity. They would actually be willing to see further data beyond me saying "that's not a thing" and so I'd love to provide it if there's some good words out there on the topic. TIA.

So I finally got it. Covid, that is. After 3.5 years of not getting it, of being careful, of masking, of vaxxing… One of my wife’s coworkers came to the office while sick. She has had covid like four times before, and said to the wife “I think I have covid” several hours after sharing air in a small office with her. A quick test later confirmed it. Wife contracted it, and despite us trying to isolate I ended up getting it. People are loving stupid. 6 days passed and I’m now testing negative again. So I had a question for the thread. I’m trying not to be a fat goon, and did a great job losing like 50 pounds by going to the gym in the last year. I haven’t gone since the exposure, but I’ve been reading people saying that you shouldn’t exercise much immediately following covid. I’d like to keep the weight off - and I keep seeing people saying that they shouldn’t exercise for X days or Y months but am unable to find any actual studies on this. Is there an accepted amount of time? Are there any studies or is this just a guess?

thedavid posted:So I finally got it. everything I’ve said says take it easy after Covid-but I have no references for timeframe. what I do know is that you can keep the weight off without exercising calorie intake will define your weight exercise defines your shape if you aren’t exercising reduce your intake slightly and relax for a bit. Petey? I think might know more about how to ease back in

thedavid posted:So I finally got it. I took 3 months off, and we went semi-vegetarian to try to control our weight. It worked pretty well, most of my weight gain happened during the "woe is me, I got infected" 3 weeks where I allowed myself to binge. After that, lots of chicken breast, fish, wild rice and tofu. Side benefit, I finally discovered tofu can be delicious If you're worried about losing the habit, try meditating when you'd normally work out. It has a ton of health benefits, and you're still setting aside that time for self improvement.

thedavid posted:(..) Well, there is stuff like this: CGI Stardust posted:this BMJ practice pointer from 2021 might be helpful Returning to physical activity after covid-19. not sure if there's anything more up-to-date And in a general sense most acute heart issues seem to taper down to baseline ~4-5 weeks post infection. So yes, there are studies and the general advice would be 4-6 weeks of rest. However, be less focused on the specific time and be much more cognizant about not forcing yourself also beyond the 4-6 weeks. Give your body a rest until you actually feel ok again, slowly ramp it up and then stop exercising at any signs of trouble or exertion beyond your normal tolerance. There are substantial and permanent effects of overdoing it, including death, so absolutely do not go for a 10 mile run because of some macho bullshit of keeping your gains. Start with a leisurely walk around the block (don't get yourself stranded by walking out in one direction), see how your feel and how exerted it made you during and afterwards. IANAD, but I think this follows from the data. Naturally any actual acute symptoms of heart distress should be taken very seriously and you should see a doctor if that happens.

My husband has really good insurance and had to pay out of pocket (190 bucks!) because CVS couldn’t find a way that it was covered and his HR couldn’t either. He’s keeping the receipt under the assumption that it’ll get sorted out eventually but he’s traveling for work next week and wanted to get topped off ASAP. All the stuff on the various insurance websites I checked still refer to the previous booster and talk about how all these coverage policies are only good until May 13th (when the emergency ended).
