I have had a sore throat since january, and post nasal drip. I really think it's the same thing I had last year, but I can't be sure. I'm seeing a doctor this morning.
@enkasongwriter If your Mom has a repeat of that chest pain, she should go to the emergency room and have a cardiac work-up.
@elaineg, glad to hear it wasn't anything serious. Besides my allergies, I've had some wacky and unsettling physical responses since this pandemic started. Because I have various autoimmune problems I already had a lot of strange symptoms pre-Covid, but some new ones popped up. It's amazing what stress can do.
I really try to limit my news watching, recognize and appreciate all of the good around me, and be grateful for what I have. I also get my daily dose of Governor Cuomo, who calms me. I don't always succeed staying in that peaceful place, but I do the best I can. One day at a time, my friend.
i have had a stuffy nose since February. I finally went last month because my ears and throat were bothering me. I also was told I have allergies. I have never Jn my life suffered from allergies. I still have those symptoms I have been taking allergy medicine and nothing really. I have no fever that’s good.
I have allergies and drink a couple of tablespoons of apple cider vinegar in a glass of water with honey or something to sweeten. It controls my symptoms.
@lawrence and @triciact: Re allergies: I agree about the ACV. Also best to stay away from dairy. My integrative doc recommended the product D-Hist -- contains quercetin, bromelain, stinging nettle, NAC, Vitamin C. You begin with a loading dose for 7-10 days, then reduce to maintenance dose.
A zoo in Germany may need to feed some of their animals to other animals because of the virus shutdown. They are now relying only on donations since revenue isn't happening and the supply chain is in question. They don't want their animals to starve and would rather humanly kill them if it comes to that.
My first thought is why is this a problem in Germany of all places?
My second thought is that the zoo went to the press to avoid needing to do this so perhaps the German government will step in, or at least they will get donations from people.
My next thought is, how are our zoos doing? I know many are doing free educational programs online right now but what about revenue for their expenses?
