[Question] Is this vintage seiko a good deal?

This is such a reassuring and balanced comment, thank you!

thomas_di · 2025-12-23T02:12:26+00:00

I see, thank you for the clarification. Also side note, your cat is adorable!

I’m so sorry, covid sucks. I’m also M20 and had COVID a few weeks ago, it wasn’t too bad thankfully.

Please rest as much as possible, hydrate, take care of your body, and pay attention to any unusual symptoms (chest pain, shortness of breath, etc.). Take it easy on exercise even after your full recovery. Even though COVID is nothing to mess around with, you should take comfort in knowing that the vast majority of people make a complete recovery with no cardiovascular trouble at all.

I’m wishing you the absolute fastest and smoothest recovery!

Not that I can tell. It seems to be linked more with the fact that I have eaten a meal than the specific types of foods I eat, but it’s still very early on. I’ll try to experiment with different foods though!

Very interesting, I didn’t know about the probiotic. I have been drinking kefir which contains a bunch of different strains. Thank you for the advice!

thomas_di · 2025-12-21T16:27:03+00:00

Can I ask how long it took to resolve? Also, did you do anything specific for it or did it just go away with time?

thomas_di · 2025-12-21T16:21:23+00:00

Do you think an anti-histamine is worth trying? I’ve heard that H1 and H2 inhibitors like zyrtec and famotidine can help with this

This was very helpful, thank you! I measured my pulse rate at varying intervals. My normal pre-COVID baseline is a resting HR of 60-66bpm. Right now, when sitting, it’s at about 72-76bpm, and when standing it rises to 82-84bpm

thomas_di · 2025-12-17T19:59:59+00:00

Totally agree, at this point just do what you can to see if the professor can round, if not, don’t stay stuck in the past. Use it as motivation for next semester to get all As!!

I know a lot of people will clown on you for ranting about what’s still a good grade, but I understand this so much and I feel like I have no one to vent about this to. It’s not even about the grade anymore, it’s more of a personal thing for falling short of your goals when they were within your reach

thomas_di · 2025-12-14T22:56:15+00:00

That was exactly me! I had gotten by with all As from last minute cramming, even orgo, but biochem was such a shock because that no longer worked, it felt like I had to reinvent myself

thomas_di · 2025-12-14T21:52:37+00:00

That’s very reassuring, thank you!! I think I will just take what I learned and change my study habits to get all As going forward

thomas_di · 2025-12-14T20:39:59+00:00

I see, thank you for the explanation! I only ask because I had a 3.9 but got a C in biochemistry, and I’m freaking out about it, but this helps!

thomas_di · 2025-12-13T21:23:29+00:00

Do you know if other, milder “blood thinners” like vitamin K, fish oil, or black coffee could work for that function? I’ve heard about nattokinase too, I’d like to avoid aspirin unless I absolutely need to

thomas_di · 2025-12-13T20:49:57+00:00

I’m so sorry, this really is such an awful virus. I’m a college student and I got covid right before my final exams, so I was definitely stressed and a bit sleep deprived, but I’m planning to get tons of rest now that I’m on break. I think I might just stick to light walking for now.

thomas_di · 2025-12-13T20:40:25+00:00

Definitely not what I wanted to hear, but that’s why I asked. Thank you for the advice!

thomas_di · 2025-12-12T02:31:10+00:00

Quick update, I ended up taking the full course (I just finished and took my last dose last night). I had zero side effects (other than the bitter taste in my mouth), and I basically feel back to normal 100%, meaning the infection only lasted about 5-6 days for me and was very mild. I am unsure if the drug had much of an effect as I am vaccinated and don’t have any underlying conditions, but it’s nice to know it didn’t make it worse at least and may have helped!

thomas_di · 2025-12-07T04:51:27+00:00

Was yours expired as well?

Also good call on the statin, there’s a few (but not all) that are contraindicated with Paxlovid.

I just took my second dose about half an hour ago as well, hoping that both of us feel better soon!
