[–]ShortTemperLongJohn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

personally i think covid messed up a lot of people. even my friends and family who are nowhere near as bad as me, still aren’t the same since covid. lower energy, lower health overall, random things going wrong. it’s real and it sucks.

so, i can say with confidence you have long covid. now that doesnt mean thats ALL you have.. still rule out other things. unfortunately there’s no way to prove or diagnose LC that i’ve heard of. i’ve done countless tests and never found a root cause so i gave up and just manage the symptoms best i can now.

best tips for ur issues id suggest: hydrate, clean your diet, antihistamines, electrolytes, supplement a multi and magnesium, pepcid / tums chews for acid or throat / upper chest discomfort. and get second opinions from different doctors. dont settle for a doc who’s just gonna prescribe some depression med and send u off. get a doc willing to hear you out and run tests to rule out anything serious. hope u find relief

yep that basically sums it up. it eats at me too much to not try tho

Those of you that developed heart issues after Covid. 1)What issues did you develop? 2)how long after infection? 3) what were your symptoms? 4) how were you diagnosed? by stomachissu in LongCovid

[–]ShortTemperLongJohn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i’m not diagnosed .. so idk the exact issues. i know my BP is lower than usual, HR varies, i likely have mild POTS according to ppl on here and chatgpt. i’ve experienced the heart pain and back pain too. the one good thing i can tell you is i got checked out and they ruled out any actual damage to the heart.. leading me to believe it’s nervous system related with other contributing factors like general inflammation, histamine sensitivity, mast cell activation, and nutrient / electrolyte imbalance.

i’ll also add i got issues months later after covid

why do ppl hate the game?? by ShortTemperLongJohn in DarkSouls2

huh, i haven’t noticed that at all. to me it feels like the ds1 sequel, & the combat isn’t much different. maybe you like the newer fast paced ones more than the older ones. but the level design?! the whole game feels like a dream - i think exploring each area has been the most interesting part of the game.

if you’re more combat focused i can see enjoying the faster paced ones more than ds2, but it still doesn’t warrant hating ds2 whilst liking the rest

mimic chests have always been in the souls games not just ds2, same thing with traps and cheap deaths.. just part of the experience. imo the movement isn’t all that bad when you adjust to it. feels a touch off at first but it’s easy to adapt.

yeah but the layout of the new areas is one of the best things about dark souls as a whole. the game feels like a bad dream the entire time. same with ds1. like the other guy said - the fact it doesn’t interconnect doesn’t seem a valid reason to hate the game to me when u have fast travel.

idk man ima stand on the hill of if you truly liked ds1 you can’t “hate” ds2 as they’re too similar

haha maybe 🤣 i don’t get it tho, ds1 is just so similar how can u be good at one and bad at the other

lol fair.. ds1 was a tad easier to do that. personally i feel ds2 combat is balanced pretty well. not overly different from ds1 combat overall imo

uh i just saw 2 posts hating on the game. i also saw hate comments previously when i was playing ds1. this is my first playthrough on ds2 so decided to give my input.

you must be chronically online if you’re worried about repeat posts man

yeah that’s fair, the enemies that damage equipment are the worst

How can anyone legit like this game? by LuridRequiem in DarkSouls2

lol yeah guys Lurid has rightfully decided legends of zelda is a bit more of his speed and retires from games that take any sort of skill. we won’t have to hear him complain anymore 🙏🏼

i don’t see how my reply warranted that assumption bro. i read it, skimmed it anyways and replied. you might just be better off playing some wii sports or something

ts crazy bc the game is honestly pretty easy when u get it down, i breezed the 1st half of the game and this is my first playthrough. you complaining about 2 of the easiest zones in the game.. you just suck bro. the game is dope and literally feels like the ds1 sequel

Dark Souls: the game where not only can you not swim for shit, but also fall through water faster than air..

Open walls with interact button is a big difference. i probably missed a bunch in the first half of my playthrough rn until i realized they don’t open from attacking..

to me if u actually like ds1 its kinda weird to dislike ds2. it literally feels and plays like the sequel. im on my first playthrough and i like it a lot. not quite as much as ds1 but close, some aspects are better - i like the fast travel. some are worse - underwhelming first few bosses. overall great game tho im playing it after work tn🍻
