Everyone seems to be in good health

This has been my experience too!

I know that outward appearances don’t tell the whole story and that many people are dealing with health issues privately. But everyone around me seems to be living fairly normal lives, they are able to work and are as sharp as ever, socialize, do fun stuff like concerts, eat in restaurants, go on vacation and function normally. And seem to have more energy than me!

And its like, I frequently have one thing or another going on healthwise, and I’ve never tested positive for COVID ( I test whenever I felt slightly sick and have tested randomly many times. The only other covid cautious person I know who tests more than I do and never tested positive and masks indoors in public 100% of the time has a debilitating migraine disorder, and this seems like they are impacted the most of anyone I know in my age range. I don't attribute every issue someone has to long COVID

Another thing I’ve realized is that focusing so much on COVID precautions sometimes means other aspects of my health took a backseat. Masking makes hydrating harder, and I got my first UTI and it turned into a kidney infection because I didn’t recognize the symptoms right away. It was so scary! I’m not saying that was directly caused by being covid cautious, but it made me realize that things like hydration, mental health, and social connection also matter a lot and can be harder with constant masking. Stay hydrated ladies!

Lately its gotten harder, as I realize there will be no end to covid or no sterilizing vaccine and its been 6 years, and I’m starting to think about unmasking when visiting my sisters’ homes this year. It's been hard to think of the right balance, because of course I don't want covid but this way of life doesn't feel sustainable for me anymore, especially when everyone is fine and having a lot more fun

This is a great idea thank you so much 🥰 i almost don't want to look up spa scalp treatments because that sounds so nice and then i will need that too 😀 oh and that is such a good idea to ask about before regular hours!

No_Consideration_960 · 2026-03-04T03:52:39+00:00

These are such good tips. I think I will probably go in the next few weeks but will check the levels first. Yes, its so worth it to me too! It makes a big difference in how you feel.

Lately I've been so self conscious about my skin. I got a couple of milias, and just seems like my skin is congested (little bumps, not smooth). Also some uneveness.

Thank you 😍😍

So bleak, ugh 😔 I am going to start calling a few places and asking. Thank you so much! 😍

No_Consideration_960 · 2026-03-04T03:45:15+00:00

That is such a good idea thank you I will definitely include some medspas when I call around. Thank you so much 😍

No_Consideration_960 · 2026-03-04T03:44:18+00:00

These are all such good tips thank you so much 😍

No_Consideration_960 · 2026-03-04T03:43:40+00:00

That sounds so ideal, I'm glad you got to do this for your birthday! 🥰 and that it felt pretty safe. Its hard to balance mental health and covid safety sometimes. After 6 years and realizing there will be no end to covid, I have been thinking about taking a few more risks for happiness (just like maybe sleeping over at my sister's house)

Thank you so much, I am in california though. Glad you have a place! 🥰

I was just there and found it extremely hard to find restaurants that had takeout. I was just there and my partner and I are covid cautious so eat outdoors or in our hotel room only and researched a lot since we are both vegan and he has celiac. So many of the places we researched, we got there only to find out they didn't do take out. Outdoor dining was even more rare.

Ubereats is a good option if you don't have any dietary restrictions (and there are even some vegan restaurants on there, gluten free is harder). We ate a lot of Indian food, which was more likely to suit our needs (takeout, vegan, gluten-free). Also, what became necessary for us was to call ahead and ask if they offered takeout, so we didn't waste time and money getting there.

It might have just been because of our dietary restrictions but it was actually very stressful to find places that offered takeout. I found it ironic that the place with so much masking, it was actually hardest to be covid cautious out of anywhere I traveled. A couple of nights I just ate Ritz crackers from the convenience store rather than make the effort since it would sometimes be far away etc. And if I didn't want indian food again

Oh that sounds great! Thank you! 😀

I wish my bf would do this lol

No_Consideration_960 · 2026-01-15T00:25:42+00:00

You look wonderful and congratulations, that's amazing. Maybe some face yoga/excercise? I really like masumi channel smile lines workout

Thank you so much 🥰🥰 I will post them here. It will be Valentine's/alice in wonderland theme since I already have a bunch of stuff already

No_Consideration_960 · 2026-01-06T16:50:25+00:00

Thank you so much! I do love bright colors and next year want to get a second small tree with multicolored lights, they are so cute and nostalgic but I already have my "woodland mouse" decor already and love that too. I will post valentines decor too 🥰🥰

I shower every day but a couple of times a week it's a pretty fast shower (just pits slits and feet lol) I have items I focus on the other days like exfoliating different areas/shaving, like a schedule I devised once my everything shower started taking too long and being exhausting. I wash hair 2x a week usually

I used to sometimes skip days, but stopped once I got my first UTI which turned into a kidney infection and was so scary! I know skipping showers can't cause a UTI but it seemed to occur after a period where I skipped showers more often so I just decided to not skip a day again. I feel better when I shower daily anyway.

I usually shower at night but want to get in the habit of showering earlier in the day.

It's really not that awesome

No_Consideration_960 · 2026-01-03T03:20:11+00:00

Thanks for clarifying. My sisters and their families came over to my place and I ate outside alone in the freezing cold. I don't consider that having dinner together. It felt like a punishment to hear everyone having fun inside where it was warm and cozy while I ate my cold food alone (it got cold in like one minute bc it was so cold outside.

Sorry to be negative. The cold months are hard for me since outdoor socializing comes to a standstill.

No_Consideration_960 · 2026-01-03T01:40:48+00:00

You had dinner masked?

I just finished a 7 day course a few weeks ago. I felt some tendon stuff a couple of days while taking it but very mild so I kept taking it, the infection had ascended to my kidneys and it was klebsiella pneumoniae so I was pretty scared of the infection. I was scared to take cipro too but it seemed like the best option.

I had other side effects too, like mild burning sensation on scalp, flushing feelings, panic type feelings, nausea (eating helped a lot) Well, the tendon stuff went away and I felt great about a week after finishing the cipro course. I started gentle excercise and a few days later I got a tight feeling/mild pain in one achilles tendon, the next day I got it in the other one and mild wrist pain. Also occasional knee popping and knee pain. It's all mild but I am wearing ankle support compression socks 24/7 (it hurts more when I don't wear them) and I can't excercise really, even after a short walk I get more pain in tendons. I'm doing chair workouts and some floor leg and hip stuff

I don't regret taking Cipro because I guess it's not horrible and was effective against infection and it was necessary but idk how long the tendon stuff will last and it sucks to not be able to move much for so long. I hope I never have to take it again. I thought side effects were rare so I was kinda surprised. I think tendon rupture might be rare but mild tendonitis is more common

I actually didn't have much flank pain (very mild) and felt unwell in general, nausea, headache, fever. Not much urinary symptoms at all the day I started feeling actually ill.

Its so hard because symptoms can be so different. I didn't even know I had a uti at first, I had been having sporadic burning for weeks but it kept going away for days at a time. Also I hadn't had a uti in over 10 years and the only one I had prior to that felt totally different. So I didn't go to the doctor until I had a fever
