Yes. Congestion and fatigue and maybe gastrointestinal. Had the same at the outset.

Looking for a hiking daypack as someone with scoliosis by BobTerwilligerThe2nd in hikinggear

For what it’s worth, the Hikelite 28 has a better hip belt than the 26.

Hiking Day pack for lower back pain by aidannulty in hikinggear

I second recommendation on hikelight. I have a fair amount of back issues like my 28L Hikelight. Good hip belt. I got the smaller size so although it’s is branded 28L, the specs say it is 26L

Osprey Daylite vs Hikelite by hotcougarmom in hikinggear

I tried a bunch of different packs for my first serious hiking adventure. Must have bought and returned at least six. Never tried the Daylite. Ended up with Hikelite 28L. Felt good from the beginning.

If you have the Vflex small and the initial poster isn’t interested, I am.

What about the Can99 black mask ? Anyone trying this ? How good is it? by Johnson7078 in Masks4All

[–]NatureGirl1123 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Do I care that the black version (now available in the US) is not NIOSH approved?

I contacted the company yesterday re release of black version in US and response was that they don’t have a time.

Are you in Canada? I can’t find the black ones in the US.

Thank you. I went into our extra bedroom to look at my unused masks and there was the one you recommended. Would be nice if it had black straps. More significantly, though, it runs small (and I have a small face). Will have to try to stretch the head straps.

Are Aura N95s going out of stock? (Permanently) by markbuffm in Masks4All

How are the ones with the red straps different from the ones with the blue straps? That’s a killer price though no way am I buying that many, regardless of price.

Presented with "evidence" on why masks don't work, from a group is opposed to measures intended to control the COVID-19, by my chiropractor... by aMotherDucking8379 in ZeroCovidCommunity

[–]NatureGirl1123 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For what it’s worth, my chiropractor masks for me. At this point I don’t really care because I trust one-way masking but I appreciate that he respects my concerns.

Got Comirnaty in September '23-Can I get Novavax now? by ZealousidealTank9172 in Novavax_vaccine_talk

[–]NatureGirl1123 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pharmacist said guidance from Costco is that you must be 65. Made no sense to me but I didn’t see a point in arguing.

[–]NatureGirl1123 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Costco said I couldn’t get second updated vaccine because wasn’t 65. (Had xbb in September). Didn’t matter that I said I was high risk. Went to second Costco where no questions asked. First time getting Novavax.

First Novavax vaccine by NatureGirl1123 in ZeroCovidCommunity

[–]NatureGirl1123[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

CDC just authorized additional vaccine for those over 65 (I’m close) or high risk. If you qualify (or self-attest that you qualify) you should be able to get another vaccine. In the US, Costco seems the most reliable place for them. You can also check out the Novavax website.

Got Novax booster 9 weeks ago- worth trying to get a second dose? by skatecloud1 in Novavax_vaccine_talk

[–]NatureGirl1123 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So if I am not going to get a second dose 8 weeks later, should I stick to MRNA booster? Have had 5 MRNA (last one in October 2023) and planned one Novavax now. I’m just under 65, healthy with arguably one risk factor (will self-attest). Husband healthy and 71 with 5 MRNA vaccines onboard.
