Imagine being "outflanked" because the literal President of the United States sought the support of the exact faction of the party that won him the presidency in the first place. If that's outflanking, that's on you, bro. Not my fault you chose the week of the 4th to reenact Pickett's Charge

my biggest help with fatigue is modafinil, which keeps me awake. But without the LDN I often have the bone-deep fatigue that *nothing* will improve but is so overwhelming you can barely move regardless. I mostly only get that in flare or postdrome now.

read quoted thread. He kept a diary of his hookups which he gave to researchers, which is how they were able to track things. He worked extensively with researchers. He was absolutely not the reason HIV spread across the US.

tonight is the 5th anniversary of The Mads Are Back so they're doing a night of shorts with almost every single person who's been on the cast, so my wife and i will probably order in and watch a lot of really funny people make fun of a lot of really bad short films.

it seems to be more effective at managing fatigue than pain for me but it does greatly reduce the background deep muscle aches. I was on 4.5mg for a while and that was okay & then my doc accidentally sent in the 9mg scrip and I asked if we could try it and it's had better results.

The book And the Band Played On is amazingly well researched and documented and yet it absolutely gets "Patient Zero" completely wrong. I remember when I found out the truth I was pretty horrified by the book's depiction.
(I do recommend the book with that admittedly large caveat)

fwiw i don't have LC but I do have the same practical symptoms due to fibro/POTS/MCAS/ME. I take low-dose naltrexone to manage fibro pain and fatigue, I'm on 9mg daily and it is a subtle but significant effect. I don't notice it working but I *really* notice when I miss it.

the most frustrating aspect of this campaign to me is that it has stripped me down to bare pragmatism
"does this give us a better chance to beat Trump" is the only thing that is important to me anymore
the danger is so overwhelming that nothing else matters and I hate it

I canceled my news sub years ago but kept my cooking sub. I did cancel that a couple years ago, and when the chat rep asked why I said "Your paper is trying to murder my trans wife."
they've never asked me about coming back
I do miss the cooking app but I like my wife alive more

they're just very sensitive lol. I might be a supertaster, I can't tolerate anything spicy or bitter. I hate coffee and leafy greens and jalapeños make my mouth feel like it's on fire.
salty or sweet and I'm there. anything else can be hit or miss. bodies are weird.

ok I do this too (1 packet) but my body needs a lot of salt and nothing is ever salty enough for me
altho my childhood best friend's entire family smoked like chimneys so maybe there's a correlation

okay but what is my alternative? I refuse to feel guilty about buying a food I actually use on a regular basis. is packaged chicken stock worse than all the produce that dies in my fridge without being eaten? or the leftovers that get tossed after not being eaten? I'll use up the stock at least.

I actually do keep chicken stock on hand because I cook my rice and other short grains in chicken broth instead of water and it doesn't taste right to me if I use bouillon instead. It is possible to get decent quality commercial chicken stock, I'm not buying Swanson.

it's always fun, by which i mean absolutely not, when a food you thought was safe/tasty turns into Not Edible in the middle of eating it.
I guess Burger King is now off my list.
