Any updates? You feeling 100%? Any after effects?
Any updates? You feeling 100%? Any after effects?
Am I to understand its been about 10 weeks since you got it and you still haven't entirely recovered?
Jesus.
I read that after about 2 weeks if the olfactory bulb hasn't fully recovered it probably never will, so I guess that's a permanent side effect since I lost the sense on 19th March. I still remain hopeful it'll improve over time though. I may take some hGH (growth hormone) at some point to see if it helps recovery.
It's your body, but that seems like a bad idea to me.. (not that I know very much about hGH, I just worry is all).
I wouldn't put much stock in the suggestion that it won't recover. It seems unlikely and this is all so new it seems hard to believe anyone could be so definitive. I don't think remaining hopeful is unrealistic or anything.
Hope you continue to get better, and quickly.![]()
We're all about livin' the hGH lifestyle over here, but concerns duly noted
Yeah... On that note.. Why is this thread in SIED anyway? I've wondered for a while but never bother to ask.
This is normally an area of bluelight I almost never contribute to.
Kinda sounds a little like the "when all you have is a hammer" phenomenon.![]()
Well there is/was? The Healthy Living forum lol. We used to have a lot of overlapping members who frequented both: aas users going there to stay healthy and HL folks popping over here to learn about hormonal health.I mean, tbh, it doesn't fit anywhere. Maybe the lounge I guess or possibly LAVA, but SIED is all about healthy living lol, so...

Lol reminds me of the "what did you take" the ad in drug culture I believe it was. People were taking like 200mg morphine IV to get out of bed.Yeah we killed off health living a year or two ago and merged it into sober living as nobody wanted to get healthy anymore![]()
Right but 40 million people didn't get h1n1 and that's without a panic or lockdowns. Difference is the infection rate.It is a trivial virus. With the new antibody seroanalysis testing, the mortality rate is pretty damn low compared to the numbers the media is hyping.

Antibody tests suggest that coronavirus infections vastly exceed official counts
Study estimates a more than 50-fold increase in coronavirus infections compared to official cases, but experts have raised concerns about the reliability of antibody kits.www.nature.com
For reference the h1n1 flu had a 1-4% and covid is less than 1% and we didn't panic with h1n1.
My ethics and morals are different than the status quo lol. Personally I'm fine with losing 1% of the population if everyone contracted the virus. That's just me though. I don't feel what we've done here in the states justifies the results we've gotten.Right but 40 million people didn't get h1n1 and that's without a panic or lockdowns.

The point is death is not the only stat to care about. The various complications we have seen are alarming along with its ultra efficient ability to infect people, sometimes more than once. The states are only one tiny part of this global issue. I'm not saying you are a conspiracy guy but those with your mentality think it's about control or being manipulated.

There have been only 2 confirmed cases of reinfection in the world. 2 out of millions infected. They're the exception, not the rule. The other complications are also quite rare. You don't hear people babbling on and on about long term effects from influenza (I've experienced psychiatric complications from influenza A) because it's not the flavor of the year. The vast majority of people have no major complications as seen with seroprevalence studies. I don't believe it's a conspiracy, but people are blowing the issue way out of proportion as if it's a death sentence if you get it. It is a serious issue for few who should take proper precautions, but evidence is showing that the fix is amounting to be potentially worse than the disease. And no, I don't get my information from media sources as they are heavily politicized. I dig through academic journals and come to a conclusion after reading multiple journals from different sources to account for biases.The point is death is not the only stat to care about.

Glad to hear it worked out well for ya. The long term cardiovascular effects worried me most about this virus not the fever itself tbhMy fitness level wasn't really affected tbh, aside from a few weeks after recovery. I actually started running not long after the worst was over to try and help overcome the chronic insomnia it caused, so that might have helped things.
