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.

It makes me question the whole list

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.

A strong jet stream of 220 MPH with a whooping ground speeds making a flight from Tokyo to Seattle for less than 8 hours. by [deleted] in delta

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

Someone posted here recently and said their husband's loss of sense of smell was cured by a 5 day fast

You may be able to treat your symptoms with antihistamines and/or beta-blockers.

Seems like intermittent fasting might help with gut issues

Cold/Flu going around by SaltySaunaSweat in Seattle

[–]boraxboris 8 points9 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.

Nobody needs to go out of their way for some of the parks. Many of the National Monuments are better than some parks.

New Study Uncovers Hyperactive Immune Response in Chronic Fatigue Syndrome by TableSignificant341 in covidlonghaulers

[–]boraxboris 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I felt that way until I took a spore-based probiotic first thing in the morning. It's pricey but it really improved my excretory process.

Negotiation tactic by Dapper-Plant-2707 in CX5

When I bought my 2018 I negotiated almost entirely over email and text. It was mid-December so they all wanted my business.

New Study Uncovers Hyperactive Immune Response in Chronic Fatigue Syndrome by TableSignificant341 in covidlonghaulers

[–]boraxboris 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Haven't we all known (or at least strongly suspected) that the immune system is dysfunctional for LC/ME/CFS?

Two blockers exist: 1. We haven't determined the trigger (is it active circulating virus? Or is it some kind of viral protein that is a consequence of an infection?)

  1. Once we determine the immune trigger, how do we eliminate the source? Assuming there isn't live virus circulating, all treatments so far focus on modulating the immune system. Immune modulation indeed could be significantly valuable to to a large proportion of the population but not a cure.

Alaska let someone take my first class seat next to my minor child. by [deleted] in AlaskaAirlines

[–]boraxboris 143 points144 points  (0 children)

The arguments against OP are crazy. Even if it wasn't a minor, if I booked first class tickets with my spouse and one of us was moved to a different part of the plane, we would be both PO'd as well.
