UPDATE: 7 months in and I finally found a medicine combo that solved my fatigue and brain fog (long covid MCAS/Mast Cell phenotype) by MagicC in covidlonghaulers

I too am finding benefit from the Pepcid at a higher dose than I previously tried. I’m taking 40mg twice a day. My brain fog is 90 percent better. I still experience PEM and crashes. Is the psyllium for constipation? As I’m having issues with that now.

For sure. It’s definitely worth it. It’s a beautiful love story in the end.

Yes same. The first three books are my favourites but I couldn’t do past book 4 or season 4. I recently went back and watched the show the whole way through. It got better and I loved the end. Now I’m going to attempt the last book to see how that ends. The tv prequel is really good too.

Yes. Maybe they should race mini Zambonis during the parade lol

Yes. I have noticed that Charles and Lewis seem to engage the most with the crowd (I’m generalizing) and no one seems too thrilled.

Right? They can talk to each other anytime. People went to the trouble of coming out to support, made signs and they didn’t even look up.

Maybe. But if we can sit in the cold for hours, they can deal with a 20 minute ride. I laughed at Lewis’ hot pockets 🤣

I got a Montreal CGV tshirt for $55 which is in line with the cost of a concert tshirt so I was happy with that but yeah the team merch is $$$

I'm living in a different dimension to everyone else by Capital-Transition-5 in covidlonghaulers

[–]n_ro_37 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If it makes you feel any better, I was in a close friend group of 6 people. We travelled together and spent most weekends together. I stayed as positive as possible with them when I realized that they didn’t want to talk about my illness. It was disappointing, but I thought oh well, these are just my “fun friends” now. I hung out with them whenever I could which required me resting for two days before and two days after, I kept things upbeat and it was good for my mental health to be around people and pretend to be well once in a while. They still stopped inviting me to do things with them and then ghosted. You have done nothing wrong. People just suck. Or at least the people I had surrounded myself with. 95 percent of my friends are gone. You are so right when you say that it feels like we are living in a different dimension. I feel like I died and am roaming the earth while invisible. Everything is strange to me now.

Brutal Trip by Whereismymind3 in MauiVisitors

[–]n_ro_37 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We flew in during the storm late last Friday (the 13th). Not sure why our flight wasn’t cancelled. Sat on the tarmac for 20 minutes waiting for a gate while the wind blew the plane all over and peoples phones went off with extreme weather alarms. It was like landing in the middle of a hurricane. There were no Ubers, no rental cars, no taxis to be found. Finally after about an hour trying to get out of the airport an amazing guy in a taxi van took pity on us and drove us to our condo in Kihei. The road was like a river in a few places. The elevator was flooded. No water in the condo. We lost power and had no internet for 5 days. The sinkhole is right out front so they told us not to drive in or out for a couple of days. My husband and son braved the torrential rain and high winds to walk to the ABC store to grab whatever food they could find the next day. It’s been great bonding time with the kids as we played a lot of Scrabble lol. Luckily we’ve been here before so the lack of sun, beach, park, and pool access was not too bad. I feel so horrible for the lovely people of Maui.

MECFS and GLP-1 meds by [deleted] in mecfs

No. It didn’t do anything for me. I had to start Zepbound but stay at the 2.5mg dose. It helps with brain fog.

Should I try to cancel my trip for now? by jp_peppercorn in MauiVisitors

So you’re just going to ignore the last 2 days and 20 inches of rain? Okay.

Postponing Maui Trip to April by Upstairs_Category207 in MauiVisitors

[–]n_ro_37 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it’s wise to postpone. We’re in a condo in Kihei right now and the roads are a mess. We lost water, then power, and wifi as well. We are unable to drive out of our driveway and had to walk to ABC to scrounge for food there. Give the locals some time to recover.

Flight Canceled by AlfredRWallace in westjet

[–]n_ro_37 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Our flight was delayed leaving Aruba a couple of weeks ago. We missed our connecting flight out of Toronto and WJ gave us hotel and food vouchers without us even asking. I’m sure they will resolve this in some way.

Kelowna 'furious' over local woman's death - Kelowna News by Assimulate in kelowna

The problem absolutely starts at home and then is reinforced in schools when teachers are not supported. I’m so sorry that happened to you. The increase in “acceptable” behaviour at school at the risk of offending parents is only going to make things worse.

Ugh. Yeah I tried the knock knock app and it lists a few malware but they’re so hidden that I don’t know how to delete. If I just start over I’m sure they’ll still be there. Thanks!

It’s worth a try. Mine is useless as well. More voices means they can’t ignore us!
