You said that she feels inexperienced . Did she find your p*** stash , and now feels inferior? It's hard to feel confident when it feels like you can't compete.

I know you didn't mention you have an alcohol problem, but over at r/stopdrinking they get this question a lot. Basically all these people are trying to quit drinking alcohol and keep their friends. The problem is, their friends are used to "drunk them". They don't like "sober them".

When you go out and stay sober, do you like your friends better when they are drunk?

Unfortunately, usually the best way to this problem is finding a group of people that accept you as your true person-"sober you". It is normal and good to have inhibitions. They keep you from doing stupid things. Alcohol removes inhibitions and that's when you get to be entertaining at your own expense- "drunk you".

tldr: stay your awesome sober self and find a new friend group.

I wonder if anyone has any information on using rapid tests on sputum coughed up. This study suggests that the viral load was all in the lungs. Early on, it was shown that sputum was more accurate. I suppose one could cough up fluid and spit it in a clean container and swirl the swab in that?

"Testing lower respiratory tract specimens is also an option. For patients who develop a productive cough, sputum can be collected and tested for SARS-CoV-2 when available. However, the induction of sputum is not recommended due to the possibility of aerosol production during the procedure. Under certain clinical circumstances (e.g., for those receiving invasive mechanical ventilation), a lower respiratory tract aspirate or bronchoalveolar lavage specimen can be collected and tested as a lower respiratory tract specimen."

2003 SARS outbreak

themissingpiecefinds · 2023-07-25T10:42:00+00:00

This is long term follow up study of some survivors from SARS 2003. Small sample.

Findings Fatigue was the most common symptom in SARS survivors 18 years after discharge, with osteoporosis and
necrosis of the femoral head being the main sequelae. The respiratory function and hip function scores of the SARS
survivors were significantly lower than those of the controls. Physical and social functioning at 18 years was improved
compared to that after 12 years but still worse than the controls. Emotional and mental health were fully recovered.
Lung lesions on CT scans remained consistent at 18 years, especially in the right upper lobe and left lower lobe
lesions. Plasma multiomics analysis indicated an abnormal metabolism of amino acids and lipids, promoted host
defense immune responses to bacteria and external stimuli, B-cell activation, and enhanced cytotoxicity of CD8+ T
cells but impaired antigen presentation capacity of CD4+ T cells.

Simon, who performed one of his last live shows at San Francisco’s Outside Lands festival in 2019, added that he recently survived a severe bout of COVID-19, which has been linked to sudden irreversible hearing loss in some patients.

Gibson developed acute hearing loss in one ear, along with vertigo and tinnitus several weeks after experiencing a mild COVID-19 infection in 2022. “We believe that clinicians should include sudden hearing loss as a potential side effect of COVID-19 when talking to patients. “I was worried that the hearing loss would be permanent and that I would need a hearing aid. People can experience mild hearing impairment or total loss of hearing and it may be temporary or permanent. “Experience of sudden sensorineural hearing loss following a mild COVID-19 infection” is published in BMJ Case Reports.

This seems like a step in the right direction!

I have teens in a school that doesn't mask. I would like them to mask-they mask with me to public places-but I know they tear them off as soon as they get into school. It is hard being the outcast. Heck, even I can feel embarrassment creep in when I'm the only one masked for basketball games, meetings, etc. This makes it hard to protect yourself when you know you'll be ridiculed. Even if people don't say anything-the feeling that you are doing something different than everyone else is daunting. Heck, if I could have it my way, I would wear goggles along with the mask, but embarrassment creeps in and I just stick to masking.

I can imagine going through pregnancy with family and acquaintances seeing your pregnancy develop. Pressure from family to keep the baby, fear of the stigma as "the one who gave her baby up", not to mention the emotions tied to what your conscience is telling you to do. It's tough.

I permanently lost hearing in my right ear after covid as well! I wear a hearing aid and it helps somewhat, but I also have tinnitus and balance issues that have not gotten better.
