Well i overdosed on Fentanyl in Patterson, and then two days later i had a heart attack. My first on so it was terrifying. I have covid19, RSV and the flue at the same time that explains alot my symptoms for tge last 5 days, if you noticed.
Dude! If you are dependent, do what you must to maintain it. Otherwise, stop using anything that may inhibit the immune system, which is probably most stuff including opiates.
COVID is nasty. It can damage your brain, heart, blood vessels, and immune T-cells. The shots don't help much except to reduce your chance of going to the hospital or dying *from acute illness*. They do little to protect against long-term damage, which itself is more likely to ruin your life or kill you anyway. COVID likely facilitated your contraction of flu and RSV together due to its immune weakening effects. Make sure you're getting good nutrition, particularly vitamin D and zinc. Rest and sleep where you can. You need your immune system to be as strong as possible to fight everything off, especially the Sars2 which is harder to beat and does more damage. If you or your girlfriend does some research, you can discover other possible pharmaceutical interventions though they are less likely to help this late in the progression. I wish you the best man!
To the rest of you, I want you to understand I've been through hell "living with" long COVID for over three years now. I wouldn't be here without the gracious support of my wife, and I feel damn lucky I am healthy enough now to trip again, even though it still feels dicey. Because evidence suggests my symptoms will likely worsen if I catch COVID again, my wife and I have to take extreme precautions. We don't eat inside at restaurants any more. We wear well-fitting N95s everywhere in public. Our social lives are close to non-existant. I don't know if this will ever end, but I can't take the chance because long COVID is fucking debilitating. None of you should take the chance either. Available data (e.g. VA records) suggest risks of long COVID and bad outcomes in general increase with reinfections. Maybe this trend will reverse with time, but who knows? Meanwhile, the virus continues to evolve and "the experts" continue to act puzzled as life expectancy continues to plummet, school absences continue to be sky high, the labor market continues to be tight despite the Fed trying desperately to get everyone laid off by raising rates, and everyone everywhere wonders why the service always sucks so bad. We're living the zombie apocalypse. For real! In case you were wondering what it would be like.
I can state with enthusiasm that with regard to drug use, this forum understands harm reduction far better than any of the fuck wits who run the WHO, CDC, or the various hospitals (who are probably the worst of the worst!). There are a multitude of things that can be done to control this disease and many others that cause unnecessary suffering and death, and pretty much all of them have only ever been done half-heartedly if at all. Even our vaccines suck compared to what's possible, but the authorities who fucked up in year one opted not to learn from their mistakes and opted instead to try to "cancel" the pandemic instead, and so here we are. So don your N95s, or if you're really hardcore, your "Darth Vader" P100s and embrace the new cyberpunk age.
