Do you think that ECF lost some members due to Covid already?


Probably the same percentages as in the general population unless nicotine really is beneficial as a preventative. But if they coughed or sneezed prior to death then they died of the virus. Dr Brix sort of has her hand on the scale of COA here in the states. No one here dies with the virus, they die of the virus.

I slept ti 10:30. Fever (for the first time in over five weeks) was BELOW and at my normal.97.7. I feel okay this am. NO more Advil, mainly. I have lots of stuff to do but I am waking up and remembering I really can (hopefully) just get better in stages. Maybe it was the cigarette, who knows. I'm going to take zinc and not the abx. I would have to plunge back into the abyss for that. I really don't like the quinoline abx.

I know I have to be patient, I know I have anemia which slows down recovery etc. I genuinely don't think the flu could do this to me, I was immunized (twice) as a healthcare worker because the immunization declines in efficacy 10% per decade and I am a healthcare worker. I really don't know of a "common cold" that could lay me out this long, although yes I have heard stories of folks like, being sick 6--8 weeks but I sure hope that is not happening. Mainly I am gonna do applications and preparation this afternoon and maybe 45 minutes of yoga if I have time.

I want to say it was the cigarette which did it, but I'm guessing not. Either way it enriched my life, not gonna lie it was AWESOME. I needed to do something very unhealthy.

Sometimes cigarettes are like that, which is why I am back to vaping this morning. Once I am awake, research freaking TIME.

Sounds somewhat encouraging. And no, it wasn't the cigarette

The cigarette changed MAH ATTTUDE. I been working slaving all day on some applications I really want, and I checked my temp (no meds all day) but like now my fever is 100.8 again. Yay. I took Tylenol and am tens uniting my back and when that is complete, l plan to get om the mat for like 45 minutes or however long the endorphins keep me going. I bathed already I was surprised honestly.

I'd say I am halfway prepared for the interview but since I have all day tomorrow that's fine.

I am seriously considering asking for a referral to a disease specialist in Tucson. It can't really hurt. .I want to know what the HELL is going on. But I am also like, "Meh so you have a fever, big DEAL. You aren't dying you an hurt on the mat, it's probably GOOD for you, etc."

But I do somewhat want this sorted out. I am going to ask for a FAST one and someone who does not suck.

Well, I did what I said, and took Tylenol and just did yoga. Oh it hurt in the beginning but nothing like childbirth and to my surprise other than my knees and wrists hurting (but it was kind of in exactly the same way they have been in general) and well, nothing too weird) so I just kept going. I finished, took my temp, it was down (the Tylenol I assume) and I am STAYING away from Advil for a while.

Then I did some more research on the facility so I am getting to feel sort of prepared. I guess. Still got tomorrow.

I am just going to keep it up, I felt really tough and awesome so definitely since it is a phone only uh, call I will probably get all centered for the mat and etc.

"Better than childbirth" certainly does put things in perspective sort of generally. I STILL might ask for a referral to a competent doc because it will take a couple weeks, but like if I am still remotely sick in a couple of weeks I will find that problematic although I realize like, this is marathon, not a sprint. Etc.

If this is COVID I really hate it but I bet if I wasn't anemic it would have been a different ball game if you ask me. All the sites say anemia is super bad for your immune system and now I know why.

Meh, we shall see. First government job I do not expect to ace the interview although honestly I do okay in interviews, and that can help a fair bit.

Trust me when I say with the future going down I want to work for the forces of evil but also actually do a good job. I like substance abusing vets and they tend to like me.

I also happen to be a fan of WV my son about had a heart attack but like, he is living in CO. I am also being referred to CO but I think that state is a bit too close for CA (mentally) for my taste. Heh. So even though I would not be far from my kid, I am also not sure it's worth it...

    Okay okay it wasn't the cigarette. I am not advocating the use of relapsing into smoking even ONE cigarette to cure COVID. I am telling you though, sometimes I need a cigarette to adjust my attitude though and it worked GREAT for that. It's not like I am chain-smoking now or anything, I'm back to vaping.

    I don't regret it in the slightest for *me* however. Heh.

    I have done the one and done with a cigarette though out the years. It is usually during a crisis mode and I can move along. No intentions to smoke more than that one cigarette. I had one last year during a moment of high anxiety. MAO A inhibitors are great for assisting as a anti-depressant. One of the main reasons I smoked for many years.
