I’ve been using it as a replacement for “fucking” but I don’t know how I missed that it’s base word, “freak” has ableist origins…so in short, avoiding using this term would be best in order to be anti-ableist correct?
Example:
That freaking cashier stole my money!
Probably a silly question that’s obvious to most but I just want to make sure…
I’ve been having headaches and nausea for some time now, is there a certain magnesium best suited or favorable for a possible deficiency that shows up in this manner?
What are the differences anyway?
Everyday nausea for 3 weeks now. As I’m typing now I feel nauseous. Haven’t tried anything besides sucking on lime.
This has been occurring for 3 weeks now as I’m typing this I have nausea and then a headache that will come on and off. Fucking sick of it. It’s apparently not my iron or vitamin D so I have no idea what it could be. I have an mri without contrast soon but in the meantime I really am fucking miserable. Anyone ever suffer from this? Or has in the past and figured it out? Please help.
It’s been 3 weeks now.
Everyday nausea and also on and off headaches. Fucking sick of it.
It’s not my iron/ferritin nor my vitamin D nor B12 no electrolyte imbalance…what else could it fucking be?
Saw a doctor and am now waiting for mri without contrast
I’ve been having nausea and headaches everyday so my doctor has ordered a head/brain ct scan without contrast. It’s very soon.
Unfortunately though, I do not have a readimask or any sort of mask without metal in it…
I’ve thought about at least making sure the person that oversees my scan has a mask on but I’m scared they’ll refuse when I suggest it, or the mask I have won’t fit well, or they’ll have a (loose) surgical mask and so therefore decline mine (Aura N95) because most people don’t think it’s much a difference (I am aware a surgical can still be very powerful protection but most people don’t have them adjusted/fitted well to their maximum potential) and well many other scenarios that involve them not masking appropriately.
Honestly at a loss because I don’t have money for readimasks and even then I don’t know when they’ll get here + delaying this procedure more days worries me.
Plus I room with my sibling and I don’t even know how that’s going to work out but yeah.
If you were in my position what would you do?
I think probably I’m just going have to just do it and pray I don’t get infected. Maybe change my appointment to the earliest time to ensure less people have been in the room? Even though I know Covid lingers for hours but. When I think about how a single infection is life changing though I just freeze up…but I probably really should get this scan done.
Any tips or maybe something else I should do? When I get home I use cpc mouthwash of course and xylitol nose spray but that’s the full extent. Don’t know what to do about shared room but I guess that’ll come when it comes.
My appointment is after tomorrow so!
And nausea?
I’ve been having on and off headaches or mini ones for like 2 weeks now and im at my wits ends.
My iron/ferritin is fine so I’m honestly concerned.
I’ve had one for about 2 weeks now I’m sick of it.
Had an appointment today to address ongoing headaches and nausea. Was worried about taking my mask off and in fact had to, twice.
Not for my temperature check but for a sort of stroke test and to see my uvula/tongue…I think around max 30 seconds I had my mask off?
I can’t help but panic about it because my provider only had a cloth mask. Also no filtration or anything.
Also the fact I had to adjust it twice because they told me to take it off twice. So I’m sort of thinking about if I put it back on well the first time they asked me.
Also…I was in the waiting room for at least an hour because I didn’t want to be late…should have waited outside but was scared I’d miss my call.
Then it rained. I didn’t expect it to rain at that moment but it rained super hard. It didn’t rain when I went though just when I left.
I don’t drive so I had to call an Uber.
And then I think my mask got a little wet…not soaked but just a bit, it was raining pretty hard and another driver made me walk a bit in the rain because they passed me but then they just ended up canceling. The ride from the driver that did accept was max 15-20 minutes.
I’m scared of how well my mask was working. My driver didn’t mask. I couldn’t open the windows because well it was raining. At the start of the car ride I took out another n95 mask it’s a different shape than the duck bill I had on but I put it on for a while because I was scared that since I took my mask off at the doctor and it was a bit wet, I’d infect the driver so I put it on for a bit but due to the different mask sizes I suppose the top mask squished it and I could barely breathe so I sort of took it off when I felt I couldn’t breath then put it back on at times (only the top mask.) I did have to readjust my bottom one whenever it got squished.
I’ve done my CPC mouthwash and I’m currently using a xylitol spray (no idea about its efficacy but I need to use it to get another one) but I room with someone and they are my sibling and they mask thankfully but I really am terrified about giving it to them. We sleep in the same room and this room is all we have; our parent doesn’t mask…we also have to eat together here so I’m planning that they eat first and then I’m still masked I unmasked to do the mouthwash and spray but I have the purifier on hard…but after that I just don’t really know what to do. They come in to drink water and well I have to drink water too so. I’m really concerned about the night. We both unmask to sleep. I know the filter will be put to a higher setting than usual at least.
Anyone have similar experiences or any tips/insight for my particular situation?
I know I should’ve checked if it would have rained that’s completely on me…
As far as I know I have no symptoms of an infection but I could still of course be infected…
I can’t help but worry about the driver honestly…I’m terrified by mask was ruined by the rain and didn’t do anything at all.
I mask with a Halyard Duck Bill and the mask I had on top for a bit was a 3M Aura but that barely had a fit and honestly don’t even know of to count it…I kept readjusting because I felt like I couldn’t breathe. You may be asking why didn’t you just change masks outside? Well the 3M aura is too big on me…just a little too big.
I can’t change the past so, what should I do next time? And what about now anything I should do now? Any help is highly appreciated.
I’ve been having headaches and nausea for about 2 weeks now and decided that I should probably going to the doctor but there is one thing I’m terrified about-taking my mask off.
I think I would have to do it for two instances- checking for body temperature, which for some reason they have always done in the past with an oral thermometer and also sometimes my throat will be inspected with a flashlight.
I’m terrified I’ll get sick or I’ll give them sickness because I live with family that doesn’t mask and while I do room with someone who does I can’t exactly afford tests everyday.
And then also my providers have never really masked in the past. Maybe usually a cloth mask that’s under their nose.
Should I call ahead and ask if it’s possible to not remove my mask at all? I remember going to a hospital in the past and saying it’s mandatory they have my temperature and figured they must not have that forehead thermometer.
Honestly I really should go but I’ve been putting it off because of this.
Can anyone share their experiences or have any suggestions?
I room with someone (who masks) (sibling) and really do not want to spread it to them…they can’t exactly sleep elsewhere either because my other room is for my parent and the living room is used by them too.
It’s been about two weeks since I’ve had this on and off headache that I’m not sure if to categorize as several mini headaches or a huge one that comes on and then off..it’s accompanied with nausea as well and I’m really trying to get a doctors appointment but they’re booked.
What deficiencies are linked to more reoccurring headaches?
Okay so I fucked up and am stuck in a bit of a pickle.
So my sibling and I share a room with only 1 air purifier because we are the only ones that mask in the house. Our parent spends a large amount of time in the living room/kitchen and their own room so those are danger zones and we must always mask there.
So earlier I was outside the room, in the living room but by accident I mindlessly took my mask off for like 3 seconds or maybe maximum 10 seconds it was definitely less than a minute I suppose like as if I was already in my room (I had just gotten back from outside to check for mail at my doorstep in which there was none) but then panicked screamed and realized oh my GOD I just took my mask off…and I rushed into our shared room to fix it. As in I rushed into my way there to fix it…I think ugh now I’m not very sure. But I’m opening the window so at least that…only thing is people constantly walk in front of our window so it’s still risky.
I informed my sibling and now we’re unsure of what to do.
Thankfully the air purifier was in the living room because one of us was preparing to shower so it was there for some hours instead of our shared room. But our filter, we just checked it, is quite dirty…
Besides being concerned about my own possible infection I’m so worried about infecting my sibling. I haven’t taken my mask off since this incident but I mean I sleep maskless and night is approaching so I’m extremely worried about what to do. My sibling still has to eat too. It’s not like I can quarantine elsewhere this room is our only safe spot.
Can I have any advice because either I may have it or I don’t so can’t do anything about that but whether I risk giving it to my sibling or not is the only thing I can change/decide. And I really really don’t want to do that.
I don’t have much experience sleeping masked either; any tips?
