I thought it was a recipe for saucing up then eating the husband. Appalachia I may be moving there! Like, I know how to deal with them. The husband came out all bright eyed and bushy tailed he said he was "fine" he looked just fine actually. He said he slept late and asked me if I could talk to him earlier in the evening, since it "messed up his meds."
He was JUST FINE messing up his meds, to take Hollyhock. But still perhaps it you know, WORKED. It does actually, treat many COVID symptoms I am just not prepared to go down that route.... at this point, since I think I am improving too.
Despite his cheery, happy appearance I am STILL not trying it, I think I am just slowly on the mend.

I was summoned to return to work starting today. They have one active case of covid-19. I hope to hell they provide PPE for me or I'll have to think about a job change. My anxiety is high since I've been on medical leave for 7 weeks. My husbands job was eliminated and now our insurance is gone (May 31st). I really have not choice but to return to work so I can eventually get health insurance.
hollyhock looks pretty good.
i'd make a tea from the flowers.
herbal meds often work.

Heh.
I talked to my psych doc. I asked. He was kinda like, "It probably won't hurt you to make tea a couple times, but don't overdo it." I was really, really hoarse coughing and talking after no fever. He was like, "It might mess with your meds but I seriously if you just make it WEAK it's not gonna like HURT you." The husband is making me a tea but he don't seem really happy about it.
This may be due to our discussion last night, but *I* asked a doctor, nay an MD/phD even he looked it up and was like, "Well I guess it could help and at this point WHY not."
LOL though he also agreed to my import of Ibogaine and microdosing it to clean out my receptors. I think he was like, "No SUBSTANCE will kill this woman, besides, like it's gotta be better than Suboxone."
Man I have had ZERO cravings for opiates since that time. It totally works.
My doc was more intent on reducing my benzos and I had a fit and was like "I AM STRESSED!!!!!!!!!!!!! ARGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
We shall see.

I was on 17 meds one time when I was on the psych unit. Except the one that worked for me and I NEEDED (Seroquel, been on it since dx.) I had a doc who hated me because he was like from some Muslim nation and like, did not believe women should curse. I believe cursing is FINE USUALLY and when I am manic (which I very much was) I have NO control over it. He was determined to "knock me down and out" without Seroquel. It did not work. I was still doing stuff like ripping Patient rights signs down that were metal frames screwed into the wall. I am crazy strong like the Hulk when manic because you don't feel pain. Sure my hands bled but I was too busy screaming "these signs should be here! They are LIES." That hospital sucked so bad man they had a quiet room but it was forbidden to use it. I was pretty much awake for 6 weeks straight, I'd pace the hallways at night. It was no fun. In any case I finally got the paitent rights people to come and transfer me to the state hospital and they put me on like THREE times the recommended dose of Seroquel while I was detoxing off all the other crud. Thank goodness my doc did not have ACCESS to ECT or I woulda been brain fried. He was SO mean.
So yeah I pretty much am unkillable. LOL.

Yes. He did not train in the USA though. I think my fate was sealed when he told me about cursing and I looked at him and said, "Um, I don't know where YOU went to school, but where I went to school, well I am the PATIENT. I am not HERE to meet YOUR dependency needs, you are here to ASSIST me in getting better."
Only you can double the length of that sentence because I took out the curse words. He tossed me out of the room after that. He did a lot of that (tossing me out of the room for cursing.) By the end, I was doing more like, begging, pleading and crying for Seroquel but like, it did not much matter.
I still hate that dude so much. LOL. Psychiatry in Tucson is the WORST. The best place to be is in the State Unit it is old, it stinks, it is VILE in many ways and the staff may be GRUMPY but they are also competent. I would portably ask to go there even with private insurance but I don't think they do it.
Good times. No hospitalizations since lithium, which I am SO FINE with. To be fair it was my OUTPATIENT'S doc's fault he did labs and hated my cholesterol numbers and I only had psych insurance. So, he was all like, "Abilify." I was like, "Um, I TRIED that when it first came out and I spent all night talking to dead people they were all bony and haggard. My outpatient doc back East said to never, ever take it again." He was like all chipper and "It's a different drug at different doses, I will just prescribe 3 times as much." I was like, "I am telling you that will be FAR more fatal than Seroquel I am begging you, please don't make me switch."
A lot happened. Dude. When I got BACK to outpatient doc (on Seroquel) he looked a the sheer ruination he had made of my life (and he HAD) and he felt so bad (he was like the head guy at my site. Bossy. Also a perfectionist) he felt so bad he was like, "Do you want a new doctor?"
I just gave him "my look" and said, "Nope. You broke me. You are gonna have to fix me. Good luck."
LOL I am getting off track though. I may be crazy but it appears as if the tea is working. Gonna take my meds, hope they don't kill me (I doubt it though) and bathe. I STILL feel like I can take WAY deeper breaths. I am currently FOR this tea.

I don't think the fact that they're using (GM?) tobacco plants to produce antigens means the resulting dnd product contains any significant amount of nicotine.
The facility lied to me. OMG all these old people are going to die! I wore a n95 and face shield but still felt horrible. I called in today because I have lung pain. Too fast for covid but could be past exposure, etc. I will have to wait it out. The whole building has covid and I know how they are getting infected. CNA's are coming in for agencies and not fully educated on infection control. Laying masks around on counters and touching the insides of mask is a big no. I cannot work with additional exposure. It's too risky be a high risk person already!
Yeah the more exposed you get the worse it is. I don't understand why like, health care workers are so cavalier about stuff, but it has been that way since like, forever. Some health care workers almost seem to WANT to get sick. I quit a nice hospital job once after watching nurses take "MRSA" precautions in a positive air pressure room.
I mean I got given ONE paper mask a DAY and when I took it off (I had to fairly frequently I was dictating, etc.) a PAPER lunch bag to put it in. Medicine sucks these days. It was unpleasant.
When I went to get my chest X-ray I was like, "This facility must actively WANT to spread COVID 19," it made my job look like a cake walk, man.
I will say DAY TWO of no fever waking up!! Also I'm not coughing and my lungs don't hurt. Yay!! First time this has happened in 5 weeks I believe I may be turning the corner on this thing and I got up when my alarm went off. I don't know what fixed/is fixing me but I am GOOD with it.
I'm sorry you can't be working there, but it sounds like you can't. Time to investigate other options (for healthcare I mean) and IDK if you contacted DCS but with a doctor's letter I still think you might be able to make a case for Medicaid.
Do I still think herd immunity is a valid goal, yes but NOT in assisted living facilities. I cannot BELIEVE some of the stuff Cuomo said about Covid-19 and assisted living facilities that guy is pure evil.

My covid-19 test (the one I had performed by national guard last Wed) the results are in-negative. Now I will need to take one again since I had exposure to many patients who have covid-19. They are having some free drive though on June 1 or 2nd. I hope I can qualify.
I have a feeling this covid will kill off the elderly in nursing homes.

Meh, the Covid tests are pretty inaccurate mostly. I failed my first test and I wanted a drive through one. I put in my symptoms (accurately) and got the message, "We are sorry you are far too sick to test. Please consult your medical provider immediately."
The only doc I have liked through this whole business is like, the second "through my insurance telemedicine doc." She explained why the tests were inaccurate, "By the time some people test they are sick enough for it to move into their lungs. The nasal swab is like a CICADA. If you catch it right, swab correctly, and well, that doesn't always happen you will get a positive. But COVID wants to live in your lungs, so in your nose there is a cicada shell crumbling to dust."
I might call and see if I can schedule with her, explain my situation and well, see if she will give me like 5 Z-packs. Most likely not.
Today I felt awful again but to be fair I took Advil yesterday and it ALWAYS seems to do me ill, man. IDK. I vowed, no more Advil and I scrounged around for any abx I had. I had a couple days of doxycycline and I am TAKING it. If I thought I had an infection well that would be something different, I just read it (and possibly Zinc, I got some but really it seems a bit silly) and it chokes off covid I have a full course of Keflax and I reserve the right to use it. I mean, I don't WANT to (just like I didn't want to take it with steroids as it exponentially INCREASES the risk of snapping a tendon) but I also just MANNED up later in the day and was like, "GO to Walmart."
AFTER Walmart I was crying in the car because I said bye to the Walmart greeter and like, I realized I could not do her job. SO, despite medical advice to the contrary I told my husband what happened when I got in the car and like, well, at least I was listening to a sad song. He started PTSD crying in sympathy because he thinks he can't finish his letter. He can.
He suggested some gentle stretching and well he doesn't understand the isomorphic nature of my yoga but within 10 minutes I was doing splits against the wall and YES there was much CRYING out to the lord but I was like "Pathetic person you have BIRTHED a child. I think you can do yoga without Advil, so SUCK it ,the endorphins will ONLY be better."
So I am just gonna active myself out of COVID. I cannot be this weak. Yeah.
If I don't get better in a week I think I will just take oh , Advil 4 or 5 times a day because I am fairly CERTAIN that would get my fever to 104 in no time.
But... I am at a loss honestly, I don't know what to do. I mean...… I have never been this sick for this amount of time in my LIFE and it SUCKS.
So in any case, after that,. the husband and I Smoked a cigarette. I must say my respiratory system feels scorched bur in a good way and like ,IDK I DON"T CARE anymore there is NO one to help me, I am not sick enough for the hospital, I think I know how to make me sick enough but that seems stupid. In any case, if that cigarette was enough to kill me or mend me, whatever it tasted AWSEOME so there was well, that.
Like I said I really don't have much assistance, so I am pretty much now daring COVID to kill me before I kill it (or myself) first type of thing.
Time for dinner!

I really.... I have no idea what to do at this point except push back. Pretty much. I mean.... if I don't do anything nothing will change so I gotta do something or nothing much will change.
If I had ANYWHERE to go or ANYONE to ask, trust me I would be. I don't.
Thanks for the luck but I'll take the devil I do not know much slower these days but like more than five weeks, I don't see how sitting around worthless does ANYTHING for me.

i don't wanna go thru what anna is suffering with,
