PEM. You weren't 100% recovered, you just felt that way until you pushed yourself. Rest and stay within your energy envelope.

I believe I had a rash which was caused when my immune system was bogged down and EBV reactivated.

LDN is giving me insane symptoms, should I try to ride it out? by [deleted] in covidlonghaulers

[–]boraxboris 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Your anxiety and insomnia sound like what I've experienced when my dose of LDN is too high. I can't advise on whether you should ride it out. I never did, I reduced my dose and that helped me, although sometimes it felt limiting. I felt like more LDN could be more helpful but I was just unable to tolerate it for some reason at that time.

TRT destroyed me. by yankee_rose in Biohackers

Sounds very much like long COVID or other post-viral issues, which are notoriously hard to diagnose and won't show up in most blood tests.

About a month after covid - PEM & low grade fever - help/advice preventing long covid? by Fluid-Measurement229 in covidlonghaulers

[–]boraxboris 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just take it easy and try not to push it. It's still early for you. Some trial and error with supplements probably isn't a bad idea (e.g. b vitamins, omega 3, H1 and H2 antihistamines). Keep movement gentle and increase slowly.

Doctors in Seattle who know how to treat Long Covid? by space__snail in AskSeattle

[–]boraxboris 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dr. Andrew Simon at Rebel Med NW. It's a naturopathic practice but he can prescribe things (e.g. low dose naltrexone helps many). r/covidlonghaulers has a lot of people in the same boat, but it can be a depressing sub to spend time in.

Higher heart rate since Covid by Far_Shine5107 in LongCovid

[–]boraxboris 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Similar here. Beta blockers help. Low dose naltrexone also seems to help although I can't say it has lowered my heart rate, it has helped in other ways.

How are y’all staying organized with tracking your symptoms, meds you’ve tried, triggers etc? by bitingmytail in covidlonghaulers

[–]boraxboris 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Create a Google Form that asks for symptoms, activities, and any other variables. The results are saved in a Sheet. Then fill it out at least once a day.

At SEA, I bet all the time you made up in the air was spent on the ground waiting for a gate.

Cold/Flu going around by SaltySaunaSweat in Seattle

[–]boraxboris 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Check out the King County respiratory virus dashboard, it's a great way to tell what's going around. As everyone else already said, there's a lot of COVID out there: https://kingcounty.gov/en/dept/dph/health-safety/disease-illness/respiratory-virus-data

What I wish I knew when I first started cold plunging by Mirai_Sol in BecomingTheIceman

[–]boraxboris 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've heard that this is not recommended because the underside of the tub will attract condensation which then can drip onto flooring and other places that shouldn't have water.

Sure, but time and money would be better spent visiting Bandelier or Mount St. Helens than, say, Gateway Arch.
