Cabbages and Kings posted:That's a weird loving change, whatever the cause, and makes me think that when I'm looking at poo poo in the distance my right eye is doing most of the work, and vice versa, which probably is not a good thing to be doing to my brain FWIW, I've had monovision all my life (one eye sees better in the distance and one eye sees better up close) and it hasn't done anything weird to my brain. Optometrist regarded it more as a curiosity than anything else, but it's not all that uncommon. Definitely still see an eye doctor, and I hope your issues can be resolved with minimal stress, but hopefully that's one less thing to worry about.

As Platystemon recommended to me yesterday, try sending test2treat prescriptions to CVS if you have one near you (call them ahead of time to be sure though - I was caught off guard by the December 15th cutoff too, I'm glad I called around before submitting). Certain pharmacy chains have dumped their free Pax faster than others. There still might be some hope. Test2treat will still mail to your address for free, for what it's worth, but I get why that's not an option for everyone trying right now.

Cool, my 70-something COPD-having mom tested positive for COVID today, hopefully her pulmonologist will respond to her message soon while she can still benefit from Pax. There really isn't a worse day for this to happen. Merry Christmas!

There really isn't a worse day for this to happen. While you're waiting for the pulmonologist to respond, you might want to try https://www.test2treat.org. They're still mailing out free Paxlovid for free overnight. There's health screening on there and you can talk to a doctor too. That way at the very least once you hear from the pulmonologist you'll already have Paxlovid on hand instead of losing time having to then go out and get it. (Then you can always fill the pulmonologist's prescription too for a possible future infection.) Good luck, I'm sorry your mom got infected. edit - obviously in no way suggesting she should just take Paxlovid without the approval of her doctor Why Am I So Tired has issued a correction as of 03:31 on Dec 25, 2023 |

Seventy‐year‐old women are very commonly on interacting prescription medications, and a doctor will need to work this out. Good luck doing that on Christmas.

Pingui posted:That really sucks, best of luck to your mother Thanks. She says she got a call back from a nurse on staff and they're waiting for doctor approval. He's very attentive according to her and I'd imagine that should be filled by tomorrow, if not late tonight. If not, I have a picture of her positive test and can get a prescription filled with one of the online services. She's well within the 5-day window, so one night of waiting should be okay. Here's to hoping that there's something left of her booster shot from 2.5 months ago. Platystemon posted:a doctor will need to work this out. But yes, also this. I know poo poo about medicine interactions and my dad isn't any more of an expert, so I'm hoping the doctor comes through. ajkalan has issued a correction as of 03:30 on Dec 25, 2023 |

What are you bringing the family together for if not a feast? And there's always infinity leftovers. If no one wants to cook most grocery places offer like a holiday special anyways.

Well merry Christmas, new Covid detection tool just dropped. SleepCycle app releases ‘Cough Radar.’ quote:
Only for premium subscribers, but the maps are… interesting. It only started on the 12th so only has two weeks of data, but uh… not looking promising. Interestingly enough, they noticed this back during the omicron wave of 2022 in their data: quote:Many of our users are familiar with Sleep Cycle’s sound-detection sleep tracking feature. To many, the ability to listen to the recordings of their sleep sounds is a powerful way to better understand their sleep. Users choose themselves whether they want to opt in to share this data. You have to give it a night of data before it allows you to use it, my daughter showed me it on her app. You can zoom in on various cities all over the world and watch the heat map dance around from blue to red. https://vimeo.com/898937931 There’s uh… a lotta red. You can watch it spread around a city, flare and fade then flare up again, kind of nuts. If you already have premier on the app, feel free to try it out.

Christmas dinner 2023 with the family completed and it went off without a hitch. They asked without prompting if I wanted a separate setting for my food outside, looks like they've finally accepted that this is how it's gonna be. No one mentioned my mask at all.

Slept in (depression) and went to see my gf when I woke up and she was crying because she doesn't want to go to her family because she'd feel "guilty." I get to feel bad no matter what, hell yeahhhh (I told her I wasn't going to go a few days ago)

I get to feel bad no matter what, hell yeahhhh (I told her I wasn't going to go a few days ago) The only advice I can give is to not accept responsibility for the pandemic and what I mean by that is that the guilt isn't the issue. The issue is there is a pandemic going on, which causes the need to wear a mask, which she is being pressured not to do. The root of the anxiety is the pandemic and not you two fighting. As I understand your position: you two are both of a common understanding about the ongoing pandemic. So in your position I would suggest she does what she wants to do, don't guilt her out of going and then do damage control which you agree to beforehand. I suspect you are set up as an emotional representation of the downside of the pandemic and you should not accept that position. The pandemic is the problem, you are trying to keep you both safe in an unsafe world. I don't know if that makes sense from your perspective, but I hope it helps

Pingui posted:I don't know if that makes sense from your perspective, but I hope it helps I greatly appreciate you post, to a degree that is difficult to express. You are exactly right about our situation and how we understand each other. But reaching that understanding, as difficult as it is, is still much easier for her than living that reality. I can isolate relatively easily since growing up with my parents basically meant isolation, but her family is good and loves her (and also, unconsciously, is deeply rooted in Catholic guilt and passive-aggression) and she just doesn't have the tools to deal with that. It is the kind of situation where we are both just going to feel terrible no matter what - all for the unconscionable sin of paying attention to reality. I should have fallen in love with someone as disconnected from their family as I am. I really hosed up on that one Thank you Ping and everyone else in the thread who posts in earnest and provides emotional support for strangers
