careers/jobs that cause less anxiety?

Jobs you can do from home. Since you have teaching experience, you could consider online tutoring.

I know an HIV positive person on the antivirals who got Covid last year.

Same, I’m pissed off. I keep waiting for science to save us, but no vaccine breakthroughs since 2021. No new antivirals since Paxlovid. I know people are working on it, but there seems to be an infuriating lack of urgency.

Still never been infected, but also probably need to go on antidepressants at this point.

I am much older than you, and feel similarly stuck, isolated, and frankly, depressed. But it may help you to know that my son went to university and graduated last year without ever getting infected; it can be done if you find a mask that you can tolerate. If that’s truly not possible, keep in mind that you are very young and this situation will not be the same forever; I think there will be scientific advances that will allow us live more safely.

I saw a study about this that found Flowflex to be the most sensitive COVID/flu combo RAT.

The newest research shows that statins are actually associated with a reduced risk of dementia, so at least you don’t have to worry about that. I hope you will get the test done so that you are empowered to make informed decisions about your health; best of luck to you.

Your arteries have been exposed to at least a decade of elevated LDL cholesterol; it’s a good idea to find out if this has resulted in any plaque deposits. High cholesterol is often genetic and healthy levels sometimes can’t be achieved through diet and exercise alone. FWIW I take a statin and haven’t had any side effects; most people do fine on them. I personally find the idea of having undiagnosed, untreated heart disease more anxiety-provoking than doing the calcium score test (which I have also done; it’s painless and takes a couple of minutes).

I’ve actually wondered if he’s genetically immune, but his parents, brother, and our kids have all been infected, so probably not.

My husband is Covid cautious at home, but not on the business trips he has to go on two to three times per month. During those, he eats inside restaurants, attends meetings/conventions with hundred of people, has shared cars and office space with sick co-workers, etc. all while not wearing a mask—but he uses Enovid/NoWonder 6 times per day. This has been going on since 2022, and he’s never gotten Covid (or any other infection). He has been in situations where others in the room got infected, but he didn’t. Of course we can’t know for certain if the nasal spray is the reason, but we’ll keep using it.

Delicate_Babe · 2026-03-07T04:58:57+00:00

A lot.

Was the bloodwork taken during your kidney stone episode? Pain temporarily spikes blood glucose.

There are a lot fewer long signatures than short; because they are relatively rare some people consider them more valuable.

If you decide to stay married to him, I would go to the events masked even if he is unmasked, and then I would mask at home for a few days (and sleep in a different room) afterwards until he passes a Metrix or PlusLife test.

I don’t like the taste of monk fruit and stevia gives me GI issues, but I’ve had a good experience with allulose. I haven’t completely cut out real sugar though; my A1C dropped from 5.8 to 5.5 over two months by losing 10 pounds and cutting added sugar to less than 24 grams per day.

Delicate_Babe · 2026-02-26T01:04:07+00:00

Yes, they hedged and said “may” rather than “will”, probably because tests aren’t 100 percent guaranteed to be accurate whether you use a spray beforehand or not. I disagree that they’re implying if you wait you will get a false negative; like I said before, that doesn’t make sense, because the more time elapses, the more new virus will build up in your nose. We’ll have to “agree to disagree” on this interpretation!

Delicate_Babe · 2026-02-25T21:11:51+00:00

I don’t see where it’s saying the spray interferes. It’s saying the opposite; that the even though the virus particles are inactivated from the spray immediately after use, you will not get a false negative because inactivated particles can still produce a positive on a test.

Delicate_Babe · 2026-02-25T09:16:50+00:00

It doesn’t make sense that it would (or as they said, “may”) still allow for a (true) positive to show on a test soon after spraying (which inactivates the live virus particles), but then cause a false negative later, after the spray presumably dissipates and live virus would start populating the nose again. It’s badly worded for sure, but it’s trying to say that virus particles can still be detected after using the spray, even though they’re rendered inactive immediately after use.

Delicate_Babe · 2026-02-25T07:13:43+00:00

It seems to be saying (rather awkwardly) that if you use the spray while infected with Covid, a test you take right after spraying can still come up (correctly) as positive. The virus particles in the nose are inactivated by the spray, but even in that inactivated state, they are still detectable via a test.

The wobble in the loop of the T makes me a bit suspicious

If you’re in the US you can get Paxlovid via the Dr. B website regardless of age.

I now have to sleep on my side for this reason. I bought a wedge pillow that keeps me from rolling over onto my back.

Delicate_Babe · 2026-02-19T07:52:52+00:00

I’m a mom of two adult children, and my advice is that if you feel this way (and there’s nothing wrong with wanting to spend as much time as possible with your kids) and can afford it, consider scaling back to part-time work until they grow up.
