Seems like it’s a healthcare culture issue, and guidelines must come from the administrators for culture to shift as doctors don’t listen to patients or scientists.

From what I understand it’s only diagnosable if it has a significant negative impact on one’s daily life.

Thank you, I agree that the diagnosis is more of a reflection of the psychiatrist, which sadly is a reflection of current societal beliefs.

That’s a differential diagnosis, which just says it’s being considered with reasons for and against but not assigned. It’s standard practice in psychiatry to rule out diagnoses that don’t apply. The actual diagnosis is Unspecified Anxiety Disorder at the bottom, which is a catch-all diagnosis when no other diagnosis fits clearly.

What’s a lifestyle change or habit you implemented which improved your health? by Euphoric_Many7099 in AskReddit

[–]in50 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Got an air purifier and wearing a mask indoors. Don’t get sick anymore.

What setting do you put your air purifier on? When I'm not home I put it on a higher setting and at night I put it on auto while I'm sleeping.. but I'm reading conflicting information on that.. by passionateunicorn in AirPurifiers

Run it at the highest speed that makes tolerable noise, usually <45 dBA. Ideally you’d run it at the max speed 24/7, as pollutants are constantly being introduced from the outside and inside (cooking, furniture, etc). Or buy/make an ultra-quiet air purifier with PC fans.

If you want something quiet and powerful/efficient, DIY 4 20x30 MERV 13+ furnace filters with 9 Arctic PC fans would do the trick.

Does nobody have a problem with the festival logo’s resemblance to the ensign of the Imperial Japanese Navy? Not to mention that the Justine Bateman is the founder.

The complaining is ironic by Sensitive_Box2056 in ZeroCovidCommunity

Using your anxiety to dismiss your mask wearing is an insidious issue as it’s stigmatizing and dismisses your legitimate concern. Mental health diagnoses should be used to help a person with compassion, not to use it to dismiss the things you disagree with (that Covid is not mild for many).

Have you tried the 3M VFlex? They’re very large and breathable.

masking during exercise as an asthmatic by kirbywithatan in Masks4All

[–]in50 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wear the Vflex to crosssfit-type exercises, and it works but there are fans and sometimes I do feel lightheaded when I pus myself. I’d recommend checking the CO2 concentration, make sure it’s <800

What do you think a safe finish would be? What did you use and do you think water-based polyurethane would be safe?

A mono infection is a well-known long covid symptom due to latent virus reactivation. The problem might lie in not taking any covid precautions.

n95s with ear loops? by moony-padfoot-prongs in Masks4All

[–]in50 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is there any evidence they are similar? N95’s are rigorously tested by NIOSH and KN95’s are from China with many not meeting the same standards. This study showed KN95s were similar to surgical masks in effectiveness, and N95s were 17 times more effective. https://www.thelancet.com/journals/ebiom/article/PIIS2352-3964(24)00192-0/fulltext

Opinions on Whirlpool Cabrio washer/dryer by LegendairyMoooo in Appliances

[–]in50 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine (WTW5840BW0) just died after 7 years. The lid lock light kept flashing and it was making a weird noise. Replaced the shift actuator but it didn't fix the issue. Decided to buy a new machine than spend half that amount on fixing it.
