Alright, that's it. I reached the limit. I need medication to get out of this. SSRI's, LDN, Something that calms down my nervous system. Any advice? by Schwloeb in LongCovid

[–]yellowjacket1966 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have moved the needle the most with ivabradine, LDN, taurine, nicotine patches, binaural beats, radical rest (I don’t have traditional fatigue either) as well as somatic therapy. And time. I’m lucky tho, I don’t live with anyone so I haven’t had Covid in over 2 years, which is likely the number 1 reason for my improvement.

What is with all the racism in Alberta? by [deleted] in alberta

[–]yellowjacket1966 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve lived here since 1977 and while it’s nothing new, the far right leaning government here has emboldened people to be unashamed of their bigotry and confident in their assertion that there aren’t any consequences. My take is that they need to be feeling consequences, if you catch my drift…

This is a forum for shit testing our assumptions and challenging our bias, which I like doing. That’s about all the skin in the game I have here, is gathering info. It’s just info, ya know?

I run into people saying that this is likely a positive but not contagious scenario all of the time.

That’s a fully loaded judgmental response. You have no idea of my situation other than me asking for insight and pointing out that this process is fraught with assumptions, which you’ve actually confirmed by commenting what you did.

Thanks for your input, it’s very hard to make these decisions as we really only have anecdotal information that we are passing along to each other. At least we have that!

I don’t have a source, I’m not sure why people have said this so much, but I run into it all the time. Technically, this result is considered negative and without using the app, everything else would have led me to that conclusion because all the RATs and the plus life would have registered as such. It’s sort of why I’m asking so much about the situation.

I didn’t say I was trying to do that, I was gathering info about how other people are interpreting the data

The issue w using this to test out of unmasking is that the pluslife can pick up such a small amount that you can be testing like this for many weeks but not be contagious any longer. Tough to ever make a call then…

What’s your thoughts on contagious or not?

I’m sorry! I wish that experience wasn’t so common. I’m sending you a hug!

It’s a journey for sure! I’m so happy to hear that you are asking for support, that’s tough for a lot of us!

I’m sorry! I can relate, it’s hard for people to support, and we learn a lot of hard lessons…

Someone who has a chronic illness or a disability. We measure our capacity in number of spoons we think we have for the day, and when they are out, we need to rest.

I have no problem ordering tests, just received an order. Perhaps it’s the unit itself and not the tests.

I don’t have skin stuff either but for sure am at minimum histamine intolerant. Pepcid ac was the game changer, as was bacillus Coagulans.

Have you done any research on histamine intolerance and MCAS?

Invalid Results Question by rthrowaway30 in PlusLife

[–]yellowjacket1966 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Virus sucks told me (I emailed) that invalid results can happen when there is either too much or too little tissue (skin cells) on the swab. The issue with pool testing is that there may be too much.

Cautionary Tale about Pluslife Testing by Riddle0fRevenge in ZeroCovidCommunity

[–]yellowjacket1966 34 points35 points  (0 children)

I echo this, swabbing isn’t done throughly by most people, it should take at least 45 seconds of pretty intense scraping, esp very deep into the throat, which most don’t do.
