    Covid-19 vaccines and vaccinations

    Are you sure AZ vx provides no protection from variants? There’s an often quoted study from South Africa which showed that it didn’t work very well with people who are being treated for HIV and we’re exposed to the local variant. Results for s.a variant protection in people with no HIV...

    Covid-19 vaccination experiences

    “My legs feel stiff and heavy and painful.” Well, now we’re up to N=2 for the same symptom within a few posts. Although I don’t have pain, definitely do have legs dead and heavy. I had Pfizer. I’m not a doc but I am guessing that the reaction we’re having in week 1 is from stimulating the...

    Covid-19 vaccines and vaccinations

    This may be a minority view, but I think the UK has it right here. Here in the US some states have adopted practice of preferentially offering the vaccine to any number of politically connected groups along with the elderly. The net affect has been to make it difficult for the Old to get their...

    Once-Weekly Semaglutide in Adults with Overweight or Obesity, 2021, Wilding et al

    If ya really wanna lose weight and u have our disease, get accustomed to feeling slightly hungry alla time. Not gnawing, consuming hunger, just a feeling of being a little short of satisfied. It has to be all day, every day. It’s a hard habit to establish, and harder to keep long enough to...

    Covid-19 vaccination experiences

    — still unsure if this is the right thread — Update, day 8. Still more exhausted than usual and more than pre-1st shot. Legs are unusually recalcitrant; I shuffle unless I make a conscious effort pick up my legs. I’ve had a slight improvement starting yesterday (which was day 7). Assuming this...

    ME/CFS SKeptic: A new blog series on the dark history of psychosomatic medicine

    Both usages are accepted, but note that they also contradict. So in my (rather minority) view, dsc.b and the loaded dsc.a need to be spelled out if both are to remain in use. General pedantry Continued: Yes, word meanings have often changed from their roots, but not ‘nearly every’. Most...

    ME/CFS SKeptic: A new blog series on the dark history of psychosomatic medicine

    A quibble: Discrimination is not prejudice, it means ‘to differentiate’. e.g: “We must discriminate between good evidence of the cause of our disease and psychobabble.” There is a later and common usage of the word which has made its way into online dictionaries, amounting to ‘differentiating...

    Covid-19 vaccines and vaccinations

    Good 4U! Here is the USA I have no idea how to go about getting a home visit. There may be such a procedure, but if so it’s far from obvious. I’m still a bit hesitant about the 2nd shot - bc the total of the trip, some walking/standing, and the shot may cause a decline.

    The dangers of sitting?

    Human bodies were made to move, and when they don’t it sets off a chain of decline. Too much time in bed can degrade even one’s arteries; they go slack. Unlike any other condition I can think of at the moment, moving as much as possible will make us worse, and more time being horizontal makes...

    Covid-19 vaccination experiences

    Welll, FWIW, whatever aftereffects the vax had over what would have been caused by the several hours of stuff involved are now gone, so I’m back to my usual state of semi-zombification. So if the 2nd shot is 3x more, it’s still not a big deal. The site itself and the walking, sitting, waiting...

    Hypothesis: COVID-19: A methyl-group assault?, McCaddon and Regland, 2021

    I’m not aware of this controversy, but the treatment I have that’s partly effective is essentially that of Dr Enlander & Rick Van Konnysburg, which is described as addressing the methylation cycle. I know that if I run out of the supplements I’m incapacitated a few days later, and when I get...

    — mods, please feel free to move if this post is in the wrong thread — Is there any tally of reactions to the 2nd Pfizer dose? Scuttlebut and also the nurse who administered it say to expect a greater reaction to the 2nd shot. I had the 1st one on Friday and so far, I don’t feel much worse...

    Sarin is a whole lot more likely as an explanation. The items you mention have a reasonable degree of testing to achieve safety, well siren had an extensive amount of testing to achieve lethality Edit: It’s very possible that the stuff given to soldiers heading for the golf war didn’t go...

    Livestrong: 5 Tips for Maintaining a Fitness Routine With Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

    I can’t tell if this is clueless or malicious. Walking is pure poison, almost as bad as standing up in place for the same amount of time. I have found that at least during the periods where I am able and willing to risk it, x distance of running produces far less crash than x distance of...

    Covid-19 vaccines and vaccinations

    I’m no biochemist, but to the extent I understand it it’s simply that a few people’s systems will not mount a protective enough response to x or y vx, and that is the case with every vaccine. BUT, the 2 dose vaccine for this bug seems to have been designed by the Chrysler Hemi people; the...
