I feel just awful today. I really wanted to go to Walmart and I really kind of need to but it's been very hard to get off the couch and my head hurts.

IDK what to do. I am SO miserable with this better/worse stuff and have accepted the fact I may not be able to like take any Advil or Aspirin even though I really want to. I am just about to like, take some Tylenol.

I can handle like ,no NSAIDS if I must I mean.... Bad vs. worse it's not worth it if it makes my symptoms come back I can just suffer more but I really like, need to go to Walmart but I do not WANT to. I don't want to do ANYTHING and there are things I need to do. Maybe I can just let this day suck, take Tylenol and hope tomorrow is better.

I'm kind of really fuc:censored:ing depressed that I can not string Three GOOD days together It's pathetic. I am also MAD AS HELL kinda I am so sick of this crap and having no answers, no medical care that is decent, nothing.

I have a couple doxycline pills dude, and I'm taking them I do NOT even care because they also do similar things as the Z-pack and I have that quinoline abx which I COULD take but I don't think it does as much to knock down inflammation either and I really DON'T want to but here's hoping the doxycycline does SOMETHING I wish I had a full 10 day worth but I don't.

I really don't want to be self treating with abx but frankly..... as far as covid there are a few tha actually HELP. It's too bad that Levoquin like doesn't I have a full course of THAT but for all I know the doc was like looking at the wrong X-ray or their equipment was terrible. I mean, he could not 'See" my scarring and I am sorry I have been SHOWN my scarring but like "F" because it DOESN"T go away that is what a scar IS.

I hate everything. I am not sick enough to go to the ER, but I am sick enough to be thoroughly miserable and I have been so for OVER A MONTH.

I just WAAAAH want to end things at this point. I'm not going to I KNOW I will get better but I think now I understand how like people with chronic Lyme disease feel. All these annoying subacute symtoms that most doctors are like 'Meh" about and they are RUINING my happiness and abiltiy to do stuff. I can feel me getting worn down more all the time and then I have a couple good days and NO. Maybe tomorrow will be good and I will not take Advil and it will stay good but honestly it makes no sense cuz everyone except that French group said it's fine.

With that said, maybe they are hoping people POISON themselves and die from it.

Maybe I will be like "Rocky" and drink ten raw eggs for breakfast and just do yoga UNPAINKILLED it's probably better.

Yeah I might take the other abx, not because I think they will do much, but I am pretty unlikely (UNLESS I am on steroids, which I'm not) to snap a tendon. I already have peripheral neuropathy from lithium I doubt it's gonna make it worse.

Sorry for the gigantic WINE whine, which is still a kick .... mix.

But, MAN

    I can’t even imagine experiencing what you’ve gone through but you’re tough and I know you’ll get through this.

    Anna,
    I'm sorry you don't feel well. IMHO as a trained physician, now retired, if you are avoiding Advil only because of what was said in the media, there is no need to. NSAIDS are very helpful in not only reducing fever, but with aches and pains associated with the illness. The media even later backtracked on their initial reporting when US doctors disagreed with the report. Obviously, if you aren't supposed to take it for another reason, such as allergy, then don't.

    Also, it's not a good idea to be self medicating with antibiotics that were not prescribed specifically for this illness. It rarely helps, and can be harmful. I know you didn't ask for my :2c:, but I didn't want you to get hurt.

    Well yet again, I didn't mix today, it wasn't bad outside, so did a few jobs outside after taking the daughter driving.

    But I did get all my flavors and recipes saved in elr, so I am now ready to mix, and not many plans tomorrow, so I am going to be mixing tomorrow for sure.

    Even decided on my 1st recipe made by myself, going to try and do a banana honeycomb custard, I like all the flavors, so got high hopes for it, just have to figure out the %'s I'm going to use on each flavor.

    I think I've found another keeper. Cornell & Deihl Three Friars. Virginia/ Burley/ Perique blended well to produce a delightful smooth, nutty flavor with just a little tang from the perique.
    I think I'll spend a few days with this before I say anything more about it.

    I totally agree with everything you are saying as a physician and there is no reason for me to NOT take Advil, it's my preferred thing I don't want to be self medicating either, but I have no idea what to DO at this point. As far as I'm concerned a couple more days NO are not going to treat an infection but they ARE gonna do what the Z-pack did which was reduce COVID symptoms, maybe enough.

    I swear though, every time I take Advil I feel sicker. Maybe it's like not causality IDK. I'm not taking it for a bit though. It's been like a LOT of times. I read all over the internet it's fine, and what Z-packs do, I wish I had a gazillion of them. Quinoline abx seem to have a fairly potent anti-inflammatory effect. IDK. I just know I'm tried of feeling like my brain is melting.

    I think I am going o make me get up now and go to Walmart anyway. It's necessary and I have less time to prepare for that interview and I have to leave and stuff and ugh.

    Be back ltr hopefully the driving gigi will work. I'm sure I can manage to get trough Walmart I MEAN. Yeah I am going to have to be tougher if all this gonna work.

    Just DAMNIT I miss my REAL PCP in Tucson and I am not even allowed to go SEE him. He would figure it out.

    I might smoke a cigarette on the way, I'm getting there. It might help my symptoms REAL tobacco.

    Okay NOW to get ready..

    The threads were cross threaded (operator error, which is me). I broke the glass and I could then see the issue. I took a hammer and gave it a couple of whacks and it made the threads line up again. Put a spare glass on and it works great again and I’ve already ordered replacement bubble glass. I love the vape of the Zeus x but with that issue and the weird oring I’m rethinking my love of it.

    Similar happened to me with a KFL that I dropped. The plastic section was pulled out at one side. No force I was capable of exerting would make it turn. I had to grab the plastic with a lock wrench and tear it out. The metal parts were fine though.

    Still the most populous topper in my collection, great tootle/mtl RTA, easy to build, and darn near bullet proof.

    Need a little advice.

    I’m cloning my favorite store juice because I can’t buy it anymore.

    It’s a dual fruit vape, Mango/ Blackberry.

    A little sweetener balanced out the Blackberry.

    I think I’ve got it: pretty close anyway.

    What it needs is a little more body.

    I was thinking some Ethyl Maltol to give it that finish.

    Any other ideas?

    It needs a little something, maybe something creamy?

    Any help appreciated.

    Interesting question so I googled. Here is a list I compiled.

    Marshmallow
    Bavarian cream
    MTS Vape wizard
    Sweet cream
    Cream fresh
    Whipped cream
    Vienna cream
    Custard
    Vanilla swirl
    Vanillin
    EM
    Magic mask
    TFA smooth
    Butter cream

    I’m no expert but it makes sense to use creamy flavors.
