That’s wild and scary. So glad you’re okay and hope you all have a calm, uneventful night. Any idea what was in it that you reacted to?

It seems the newer preps are a little easier. I was allowed a light breakfast of scrambled eggs and toast before noon the previous day (so less than 24 hrs before procedure). Then clear liquids. I agree with the others I wouldn’t risk something like salad though.

Sesame might be another to avoid until testing.

Sometimes fomotadine (Pepcid) is very helpful with this symptom. Unless it’s contraindicated for her, it’s an easy one to try and usually works quickly if it’s going to.

@fraidycatIs your dd doing better?

What makes this all the more challenging currently is that common symptoms of perimenopause brain are super similar to common post Covid brain effects. So it’s hard to know what’s what or if the two things are actually compounding each other.

I like Math Mammoth for its streamlined nature. One book. Same general teaching methods as Singapore, without the parts. It’s not as pretty though, for sure.

Eta: Never mind. It doesn’t really matter

I just don’t get this thinking at all. What entitles you or anyone else to personal health information that has exactly zero bearing on you? And you do know that the conspiracy theories about face swaps from Vogue are just that—conspiracy theories, right? That theory makes very little sense based on the photo released and killed anyway.

The public is responsible for their actions as well. There’s no reason the public has to demand to know someone’s intimate health details and hound someone relentlessly about whether the shape of their face has changed or they have put on weight or anything else of that nature. That’s on the media and the public who clicks on it and follows it and speaks as if it’s their right to know these things that have zero impact on their own lives.

It’s so disgusting. I mean, what would one expect from the New York post, but this is low, even for them. Just disgusting when people are suffering like this. More personal stories on Long Covid Moonshot

I think people are being awful about this.

Agree with you on all of that. We’ve long known post viral illness is a thing, though this particular Australian study is the only one that I’ve seen that has indicated a similar rate after Covid as after the flu. As one of the researchers states in the article, it may be specific to Australia, where almost everyone had been vaccinated by the time they got Covid. Since it does appear that vaccination reduces the risk of long Covid (though unfortunately not nearly enough), I can certainly see that making a difference there versus the other places where studies have shown the post viral illness rate being significantly higher post Covid. Related and also in The Guardian today: ‘Alarming’ rise in Americans with long Covid symptoms This article also mentions what Kbutton does above about the even longer-term effects that we don’t even know about yet such as seen post polio, post 1918 flu, and with a number of other viruses.
