Katie Tightpussy: i don't know if it's just a placebo, but a hot shower along with the advice of things to take from the very supportive people on here has me already feeling somewhat better. very bad still but.... better, somehow. the antihistamines really seem to be working.

i've got h1 and h2 blockers thanks to a friend, hopefully tomorrow i hear back from my doctor for paxlovid, i ordered AHA for saturday since i do have tachycardia, i've got multivitamins + vit d3, and dumped a bunch of turmeric in my lentil soup. no nac or nk and i took an ibprofen. hoping for good

given how much covid is surging right now, strongly encourage people to be prepared in case they happen to get it. be prepared and take care of yourselves, people!

i'm sure you've seen this already, but @rahaeli.bsky.social's antihistamine protocol is something i keep bookmarked just in case i get covid a second time: synecdochic.dreamwidth.org/805203.html

that's what i'm operating on! bless rah fr

I’m so sorry to hear you have Covid. I got it in 2023 and my oxygen saturation still hasn’t recovered. Take care of yourself! 🤍

Yeah it's horrible 😭 I have had it and don't want it again I was huliciation with and I lost all my strength it was horrible hugs 😭

I am so glad something helped. i don't have any advice from my 3 except to keep your neck cold if the fever gets bad (to protect your brain). i hope the paxlovid or metformin helps you quickly 💕

oh that's clever! good to know/ i have neither paxlovid nor metformin atm but i'm hoping i can get paxlovid tomorrow

if you get paxlovid ive heard cinnamon red hots are good at fighting the gross taste in your mouth it gives you

but then i have to taste cinnamon red hots :(

pick your poison

arsenic

I enjoyed york peppermint patty mints. Or reeses pb cups. Others suggested minty mints. The taste is terrible regardless, I hope you find something that works for you. Also REPORTEDLY the taste of your pussy changes with paxlovid. Just fyi

okay but like good change or bad change???

It... wasn't to my taste...

like while you're on it? not permanently right?

I replied to this being like "oh yeah the awful taste goes away after your last dose" then I re-read what you were replying to and, welp

Yes. Not permanently.

effective even up to 72 hours from what i remember, so don't stress 💕 rest as much as you can, like straight up sleep. I'll keep my fingers crossed you get one or the other asap

❤️❤️❤️

Antihistamines come through for me w lots of things, their utility has been underrated for too long

i owe antihistamines an apology. i wasn't familiar with their game

Just go easy on the Benadryl, don't wanna run into the hat man

no benadryl for me

yeah, some of the covid deaths have been from people stopping when taking downers that would normally be fine :(

It’s wild to me that people purposely set out to do that. “Yes I want to have terrifying hallucinations please”

If I take it as a sedative more than 2 nights in a row I have HORRIBLE nightmares. Pretty sure a high dose would just open a portal to hell based on everything I've read. I guess some people just have to learn the hard way

benadryl is a really bad sedative iirc. it makes you tired but the sleep is less restful

My thoughts are if nothing else, they calm down your body a bit and often that is helpful when it’s out of whack

i do feel a lot more calm than i'd expect rn

I take three different prescription antihistamines twice daily for an allergy that would otherwise keep me from functioning, and I'm beginning to think I might be invincible

there are certainly times i wouldn't take them but i have hydroxyzine when i'm having one of my episodes and need to take the edge off / function in public. and like. yes. yes

there are no magic bullets but definitely makes the *weight* easier to bear when i'm collapsing

antihistamines are placebo

about about anti-cis-tamines

Hot showers are such a great way of getting through something that I’d otherwise just have to gut it out through. I’m glad you’re taking care of yourself.

zoning out in the shower under the heat felt soooooooooo unbelievably good. i've got a killer fever rn so it felt borderline orgasmic lmfao

Omg, not having that “you are too cold” sense gibbering in your nervous system and being able to just forget what is going on for a moment, hell yeah!

if you can get your hands on any bronchodilators (i know they're so expensive 😭) but they got me through the worst of my last bout of it

i suppose i could borrow ken's inhaler if need be lol. thankfully i feel mostly okay on that front? the shortness of breath sucks but i feel like my cardio's been really good lately because of biking so i'm still able to breath decently well, just being careful not to exert myself

yeah if it's not to The Weight on My Chest Is Killing Me (literally) that makes sense, also fuck yeah protective cardio!

Oh how awful, I’m glad you’re feeling a little better.
