am not an md and all that, but I'd wait for a booster tested and approved on people sorta like us, or at least a booster targeted to the Delta family and offered in lower doses for the immuno-messedup. That's a new medical term as of this moment. Much as I think vaccines are an amazing plus...

Which is odd, since it seems to be the covid/wuhan virus vaccines causing such reactions at far higher rates than those prior. Offhand/anecdotally, I heard from my GP that people who were otherwise ordinary (not edge cases like us) and who had no issues with the childood vx, flu shots, travel...

Isolation is a huge (or yuuge) health risk. It's also no way to go through life if one has any choice at all. It's something I'd rather have less knowledge of.

Always trust and bow to your Benevolent Government, it knows what’s best for Itself.

Let me think a moment. Umm, thinking thing is broken. Lessee here. Had I simply bothered to call Derek Enlander’s office, I would have reconsidered and probably bailed on it. He’s retired but still shares info and so forth. But I tend to fail at making and maintaining lines of communication...

I think it’s not 100% only flares in M.E, it’s also the action of the medicines (the vaccines) on broken systems. Orderly systems do predictable things and react in relatively simple ways. Broken systems are dis-ordered and react in weird unpredictable ways. e.g.: After the shots, I developed...

I know noting of your particulars and am not qualified to give medical advice to a mouse, much less a person. I can state that if you’re outside much and in contact with the ground or things that were in it you’re touring in Tet Country, and tetanus is not a fun thing to catch. It was called...

Are you sure you want that booster? The concept of vaccination was one of humanities’ great achievements, each new vaccine is subject to Reality’s confounding. This one may create reactions different from those that have been proven for a decade plus, reactions bureaucrats are in no great...

Huh. I’d never thought of that, perhaps that’s the malady describing weak legs after the vaccine. As someone who formerly worked out 6x/week, even the idea of having weak, shaky legs is revolting. It’s a fact, its my life now, but I still sorta refuse to accept it.

I’m no biologist, but I can’t understand how an old-tech vaccine - using inactivated virus or whatever vaccine is grown in chicken eggs - can be worse than the actual disease. A virus hijacks your cells and replicates itself in billions and billions of copies, then it kills the cell it has...

Well, I don’t really want to be in this particular minority but 100% contrary to my expectations, I haven’t recovered from my covid shots. I’ve improved some over in the 6 months since, but not to the state prior. I still have novel and significant digestive problems and my legs seem to drag...

This sounds like a thick blanket of words to cover the sentiment “scr w you”.

I wish I’d been that smart. Then again, with brain fog etc plus the limited information available, perhaps I didn’t have the ability to make a different decision. There’s going to be yet another vaccine probably reaching approval soon, one based on more conventional tech (not mRNA). Perhaps...

A passive (not powered) portable cooler can be quite effective for a few hours. Things can be carted around with regular ice, dry ice, or liquid nitrogen. But in the latter two cases you wouldn’t want to inject that right away ;-)

Any improvement? I’m wondering if I’m the only one who is still down after three months. I wish I was a circuit breaker With a little gremlin to reset the works.

I would think that any MD in Sweden would be pro vaccination for everyone they believe it is safe for. Your doctor probably thinks that you are vulnerable to a bad outcome from the current vaccines. I would be inclined to listen to your doctor in this case. My specialist has retired and in my...

So the bureaucracy is putting it self and its own benefit ahead of the patients and their health. What a surprise.

watching TWIV (podcast about viruses) right now. Most of it goes right over my head, but the virologists featured are not especially impressed with the Delta variant. They are saying that the time and place of its introduction May account for it’s apparent greater transmissibility, more...

I was advised that it’s useful to take when also taking statins.
