I mostly think that doctors really don't believe women when they say "this pain is so bad it makes me loving nauseated and break out into cold sweats and I cant function" so when they say, oh just take some ibuprofen about it - they dont really understand what that means.

no physician has ever told me to take 1600mg which is twice the dose of rx strength 800 mg you are only supposed to take 1 pill every 6-8 hours

I actually specifically had the doc tell me to double up, it will be fine. He was pretty dog poo poo as pediatricians go. Ignored horrific signs of child abuse my whole childhood and was an antibiotic spigot.


re: painkillers - i also had another doctor almost gently caress me up as an adult because again, for a burst ovarian cyst, an ER doc tried to hit me with a high naproxen sodium dose aka aleve which seeeeeeverely is bad for anyone with GERD or a history of ulcers etc. I luckily was cognizant enough through the pain to be like "please revise your prescription" lol

I think I literally said "That's a bad idea for me to take" and he goes uhh why "I have a history of ulcers" and then he kind of ... like you could see the wheels turning in his head and then he goes oh uhh how about some tramadol and i was like ... you know what whatever. sure.

I’ve been prescribed 2x800mg ibuprofen 4x a day “as needed” like, many times for bad sprains and burns and stuff.

I didn’t take that much because I read up but it was the prescription.

I'm a turbo drunk and don't take painkillers because I'd like to continue to live and be a turbo drunk while looking at the birds, riding my bike, and otherwise enjoying life, but I pay attention to what my wife and my friends and family are told to take by their physicians and it's pretty loony. Just load up on liver-killing meds, it's cool. They're OTC so they must be safe

"VYD222 is a fully human IgG1 mAb demonstrating broad and potent in vitro neutralizing activity across SARS-CoV-2 variants including XBB.1.5. VYD222 is a re-engineered version of adintrevimab..."

So, an og 2003-era SARS antibody that was tested on XBB. Oof. And requires a hour long IV infusion instead of a shot. And a mandatory two hour clinical monitoring period after the shot. Hope all the immunocompromised people getting it have drat good masks for hanging around the infusion center for 3-4 hours getting coughed on.

I definitely qualify but I'm not sure if I'll bother.

That’s honestly better protection than any other therapeutic we’ve come up with that’s currently effective. A rapidly mutating global pandemic has trillions of chances at immune escape.

as long as society continues to treat the disabled like that, it's gonna continue to abhor acknowledgement of the pandemic.

our version of events will not make it into the future like this

as others pointed out, acknowledging covid is an out-group signifier not just from some particular in-group but from ALL of modern society, and everyone knows how they'd be treated as the out-group of that (homeless, disabled, weirdos, etc) so even thinking of an out-group signifier gets the shame reaction. gets the in-group-required aggression toward wrongthink, no matter how righteous

it's not the stupidity that motivates denial. it's the terror of each other

I saw two rare sights at the grocery store. I saw one person with a surgical mask on, and then a cloth mask over that. A second person had a buckbill n95 with both bands around their neck just below the ears and the nose piece just almost falling off the tip of their nose.

Classic 2021 mask choices, really brought me back.

Pre-Covid, I saw a doctor for a cough a few times right before I went on trips out of the country, thinking that it might be the beginnings of a cold or something, and he just told me to take a shitload of ibuprofen several times a day. Didn't have any muscle pain or anything, just a cough. It seemed like a weird thing to suggest, but hey, he was the doctor, and I was just some dude. Turns out that my instincts were right. How about that?
