Now we have them talking about it on mass media, and more and more people are talking about it. On a different topic, did you guys know that wetting your bed is also a covid symptoms? I didn't know until my dad wetted his bed for the second night  my brother still get the nightly sweats and wake up in pools of his sweat too. Kinda concerning because that fits with what I've been hearing about other folks on paxlovid too. They both (along with everyone else) do get the other symptoms completely disappearing like the runny nose, the sore throat and the congestion in the lungs, but they still feel sick somewhat. I'm hoping that's just the body immune response and not an indication of something else.

It has come up how many people are dying of COVID in the US currently and as I see the same number (1500) come up, I just wanted to show where that is from:https://abcnews.go.com/Health/1500-americans-dying-covid-week/story?id=106237143 posted:Why are 1,500 Americans still dying from COVID every week? So as long as nothing happened since then that would exacerbate deaths and we dismiss the last complete week as an aberration and not a trend, the number is ~1500/week.

Well the neighbors all have COVID again. Makes me glad I wear an N95 whenever I'm outside, well for snowblowing or really just grabbing the drat mail these days. Also as a nice side effect, I don't cough my guts out for two hours because of the cold dry air when I come back inside! Honestly getting some ski goggles and wearing an Aura while outside shoveling/snowblowing as been such an amazing transformation. It's almost fun now.

I would probably say, if you eat a regular crappy american diet and if you're a computer toucher, you're pretty likely to have a Vitamin D deficiency. It was one of the things they started monitoring when I went on immunosupressants and got me on supplements fairly quickly. I mean, if you were to take a regular daily multivitamin you'd probably be covered. I think vitamin D is one that can get too high though, so you shouldn't just start taking a bunch of it. If you're wondering then ask your doctor to add it to your labs for your next yearly physical or whatever. Pingui posted:Nice try Tom Sawyer. I said ALMOST. My irregular heartbeat adds an exciting dynamic to physical labor like that.

If you're wondering then ask your doctor to add it to your labs for your next yearly physical or whatever. you have to take like 100x RDA for months to get side effects from vitamin D, vitamin A is the one that fucks you up (don't eat too much liver) I didn't know I was deficient until the doctor ordered the full blood test and then my garbage insurance made me pay $400 because they only covered the basic one

Snowglobe of Doom posted:Healthy young poster goes to Publix, gets pumped with massive shot of moth juice, doesn't feel good and changes - I LOVE LAMP. Many such cases! Dead on except for the young part. How old are you? I mean really, you are old, now aren't you? For an apricot, yes. For a head of lettuce, even more so. For a mountain, I have not even begun in years. For a man, I am just right. So far so good. Hoping it's not like when I switched from Pfizer to Moderna; that round the day after I felt awesome, then I had a day of feeling like death, then a great day, then an awful day. It was like I had malaria for a week. These sweaters sure are tasty, though. I mentioned that it was my extended family getting COVID that reminded me to get boosted again-- my elderly uncle, who just got off a vent a few weeks ago after a surgery mishap, went symptomatic and they took him to the ER at the big hospital downtown last Wednesday. On Saturday morning he was still waiting for a room. kazmeyer has issued a correction as of 20:01 on Jan 11, 2024 |

NeonPunk posted:What, is he just sitting somewhere in the hallway or still in the waiting room? Jesus that's terrible One of the fun experiences I had recently during a very long ER trip was the hospital having plenty of rooms but not enough nurses so I was being treated by running back and forth for tests and injections and poo poo just from the waiting area. Like 5 hours in I finally was put in a room but this was after I had: gone for CT, a few EKGs, Ultrasound, and after CT they left me in a wheel chair in a hall for like 20 minutes. it was very dark and creepy lmao. So anyway i am wondering if the experience was similar to mine where you just keep getting shuffled around and left here and there.

I wanted to bring up something I've seen bouncing around socials for considering since I don't recall it coming up in the thread before and there's people here much better at evaluating this stuff: COVID antihistamine protocol. Links to a bunch of papers underlying the hypothesis that part of COVID's sting is the spike making your mast cells go wonky, and thus antihistamines might help in the areas of prophylactic, acute treatment, Long COVID treatment, and vaccine reaction remedy. quote:The important part of the antihistamine protocol: for best effect, you need both a histamine-1 receptor antagonist and a histamine-2 receptor antagonist. There are versions of both available over the counter in most every country: the specifics will depend on your country. Equally important note: not all over the counter heartburn medicines are h2 antihistamines. There are other classes of OTC heartburn medicines that do not appear to have the protective effect. Make sure what you're taking is actually a h2 antihistamine. In any case, the theory behind it is something that apparently people can try for their next COVID booster shot if they tend to hit you hard like kazmeyer is experiencing: quote:Anecdotally, I began recommending with this booster wave that people premedicate before the vaccine with 50mg diphenhydramine 15 minutes before the shot or a double dose of Claritin/Allegra/Zyrtec 2-3 hours before the shot, and so many people have told me that they have been absolutely flattened by previous COVID vaccines but doing this has made it a much milder reaction. Antihistamines do not interfere with immune response, and in fact can significantly improve it because the side effects of mast cell degranulation can interfere with immune response and preventing it via antihistamine makes your immune system more efficient at taking the instructions it's getting. The author also links to this Long COVID doctor consortium's page of Long Covid treatment kit, which contains a lot of the things I've seen the thread recommend and some others I haven't heard from the thread so much.

NeonPunk posted:What, is he just sitting somewhere in the hallway or still in the waiting room? Jesus that's terrible He was in an ER bed for several days before they could admit him properly to a room upstairs. My cousin's a nurse and was with him so she was doing her best to get him seen to, but it sounds like they've just been swamped. I don't have a lot of the details because this coincided with both another aunt passing away (she'd been in hospice for a while, not COVID-related as far as I know) and a couple of finals so it's been utter chaos for the past week or so. I'm really wondering if they're going to be back to eating out and get-togethers in a month or if this is going to change the tone a bit.

Dining out or barhopping is what successful, happy people do. If you aren't eating out three times a week, you're a poor or a loser.

i mean i miss like hell getting a drink with coworkers after work, especially given the role that plays in labor organizing. but it's not happening again anytime soon, and it's just me and my wife living together. it's baffling when it's someone with a kid and two sick parents.

My wife and I were talking and it was the Omicron wave and the massive increase in transmissibility that convinced us that this was going to go on with no end in sight. Prior to that we'd gone to some outdoor sporting events and even stayed at a B&B in upstate NY while visiting family. But Omicron blasting in with measles-like contagiousness and the media shrieking "THIS IS MILD AND NORMAL" while 150,000 people died in four months pretty much put the lid on that.
