@RobeeShepherd it's standard inflammation response I presume?

Immune response to invasive proteins, the tissue expansion causes more local blood flow, and a temperature hot spot intended to reduce the effectiveness of the foreign material. #NotADoctor

@intransitivelie (cont'd).

"more effective and faster is to buy a battery-powered infant nasal aspirator at any pharmacy or online for <$20 and use it for 2 minutes, alternating for 10 seconds per nostril while holding the other nostril (and mouth, and soft palette) closed. Idea is to suction just from one nostril at a time."

@falcennial erm. That sounds alarming tbh. you been to a doctor to test for long covid, ME/CFS, fibromyalgia or some kind of .. idk, but that doesn't sound right.
Most healthy-ish people with no conditions don't feel that bad that quickly, I've always been told. (Never experienced it myself, but ho hum.)

That's what makes the Adderall and Vyvanse shortage so bad.

I was also was told that all these pop-up telehealth options were over prescribing Adderall et al. without really doing any testing to people who might not really need it.

The DEA (in the US) has been cracking down on them and shut a bunch down. Here's hoping the supply chain can get back to normal for those who are stuck on the amphetamine salt side.

TIL if one hand starts becoming paler in color than the other, especially after typing, it is a possible indicator of carpal tunnel syndrome. You're probably putting pressure on the nerve and artery in your hand which both run through the carpal tunnel. Make sure to take breaks and stretch your wrists.

Missouri Republicans Can't Wait To Let Naturopath 'Doctors' Prescribe Both Crystals *And* Antibiotics

Far too many states already allow this and it needs to end.

@MatthewChat Some thoughts from a stranger on M. I’m #NotADoctor, and neither is Google (I did find the comic a bit funny).
That said, “having a mass” is not a symptom. Symptoms for Sarco are often very similar to long-covid: fatigue, muscle weakness, PEM (post-excertional malaise), brain fogs. Also, coughing, yes. Latest research shows symptoms occur in groups, so S diagnosis may still be covering multiple causes…
