I don't know the research on these supplements, but just as an anecdote, my very mainstream ENT recommends specific, GMP-certified supplements with NAC and quercetin to her allergy patients. These 2 ingredients are also in a lot of common allergy supplements such as D-Hist. I used to take...

Low potassium can lead to muscle cramps, too. The next time you have blood work done, you might ask your practitioner to look at your potassium levels and see what she thinks. Foods high in potassium help me. Sweet potatoes have more potassium than bananas. Avocados are good sources as well as...

Thanks for your responses. It's good to hear you didn't have any significant CNS symptoms. As for the more common side effects of digestive distress, it may be that because I'll be getting it injected instead of taking it in oral form that digestive side effects won't be as severe since the drug...

I will be taking (I think) a 3-day course of Augmentin to treat a sinus infection. Ordinarily, I am prescribed antibiotic/anti-fungal capsules for sinus rinses so I don't have to take oral antibiotics, and I could do so this time although it is a 30-day course of treatment, so I might not get...

I take sleep meds, but switch on alternate nights. One night I'll take 50 MG of Trazodone, and the next I'll take 15 MG of Belsomra, and on like that. Some people seem to be able to take the same sleep med night after night, but I've found that doing that usually causes the med to lose...

@Lucibee, your masks are beautiful! I love the patterns.

My brand is Unda, but it does have lactose.

I was so glad when I saw that the CDC was finally acknowledging airborne transmission and was shocked when they quickly retracted the report. I've been reading about airborne transmission of the virus for months, and it's so important. As troubling as this type of transmission is, we can do...

I'm using the magnesium phosphate tissue salts, too. It really helps my sleep along with calcium phosphate tissue salts. I also take a dose during the day to help with stress.

I keep reading reports of how the CDC and FDA are being pressured politically. I really worry about fast-tracked vaccines. We all want a Covid-19 vaccine, but we want one that is both safe and effective. It's troubling to read how corners are being cut and length of safety trials compressed in...

@anciendaze, I feel for you. My MIL and other in-laws live in Orlando, and we have other relatives in Tampa. My MIL encounters lots of people who don't wear masks, even in doctor's offices. I live in Austin, and although it's much more progressive than the rest of the state, we had a terribly...

I've stopped using ibuprofen at bedtime, replacing it with 20 MG of CBD oil. Wish I could take CBD during the day, but it makes me too sleepy.

Today's New York Times has an article written by Linsey C. Marr, an engineering professor. It's about growing evidence of COVID airborne transmission. The article endorses improving ventilation with functioning windows and updated filters...

I'd really like to see a study of how much protection a face shield adds when worn with a mask, as opposed to wearing a mask by itself. Maybe studies haven't been done on this because face shields aren't yet commonly worn in non-medical settings. But common sense tells me that an additional...

Thanks for posting this, @Keela Too. That wearing masks could mitigate the symptoms of the virus if you do get it is added incentive for us all to wear masks.

Since we now understand that the virus is more airborne than previously thought, I'd think more attention would be paid to the quality and circulation of inside air in buildings. At the very least, HVAC systems should be set to bring in some outside air instead of just circulating all inside...

What kind of visor are you wearing? Is it the same as a face shield? I've started wearing face shields to grocery stores, in addition to my mask. The only disadvantage I've found is that it's sometimes hard for people to hear me with both the mask and the shield in place. The other day I was at...

I live in Texas, where cases are skyrocketing. For months now, I've worn a mask every time I go out. In addition to my mask, I'm going to start wearing face shields in public. I'm sure I'll feel self conscious at first, but if it helps even a tiny bit, it will be worth it.

For inflammation, I find the Meriva form of curcumin really helpful as well as CBD oil capsules.

I use PEA Soothe Support capsules and find them helpful for pain. PEA is Palmitoylethanolamide. I take it in the evening because I find it too relaxing to take during the day. It's also available in a transdermal, but it didn't help me in that form...
