Now that I’m ( hopefully) finally at the tail end of a crappy cold, I can recommend Kurols cough lozenges to suppress a tickly throat.

They taste vile, and I suspect the taste must be similar to licking Vicks vapour rub off a tar-seal road, but they do work.

'tis the season that small children get very affectionate, people go out without coats, & sleep is confused. Then we find out our loving family has shared both stories & germs, & we are getting ready for holiday closeness early.

Is it time to ditch sick note requirements? Doctors and patients are tired of them | CBC Radio ap236.com/353aI7 @cdnpoli

The Canadian Medical Association is raising concerns about the Ontario government's move to allow employers to require workers to provide a doctor's note to explain even minor illnesses, such as the common cold. The association's president says the measure could cause a public health issue

When I catch a cold, I will most likely also end up with a raging, painful sinus infection that only a 10-day course of antibiotics will kick. Even then, I might relapse & end up sick for a total of 6 weeks.

It's a BUMMER.

doesn't help.

So I'm always curious about preventatives, hence my question about .

Anybody know anything about povidone iodine nasal spray as a treatment for ?
Asking for a me. 😁

My chronic sinusitis mainly manifests as constant slight congestion & post-nasal drip. 9 times out of 10 when I catch a cold, the increased fluid build-up makes me susceptible to a bacterial infection....

Lack of #virus exposure due to #Covid may be driving ‘never-ending’ colds, experts warn

Today’s #WTF motherf%kers take of the day🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️

Also the internet is #gaslighting me b/c all of a sudden average length of #colds went from 3-7 days to suddenly 7-10 EVERYWHERE & I KNOW what it used to say b/c was👸🏻of getting colds. The 7-10 are all recent edits dated 2023…

This is what normalizing a #BSL3 virus looks like. F%ck you, I won’t do what you tell me!!!! #RATM
Experts used for this article are a Respiratory specialist professor who specializes in BACTERIAL lung infections & a GP who specializes in Gynecology!

Granted this is a sh*t news source however here’s some quotes

“This is not Covid impairing immunity, but lack of exposure to respiratory viruses weakening adaptive immunity to the viruses, so they can more readily infect when they’re circulating.” -Jeremy Brown

Similarly, GP Dr Alisha Esmail says: “One theory about lingering #coldsymptoms is the ‘post-covid effect’, in that we had less exposure to the classical winter viruses due to quarantining and isolating, and so we’re catching up now on rebuilding our immune response.

Also hyper links within article lead to nothing relevant to the words in the sentence

People are led to behaving against their own best interests..nothing new but infuriating when #science should be clear & obvious but idiots are the so-called “experts”

After today, I am going to set some new #family gathering rules for the fall re my susceptibility to #respiratory illnesses and my lack of 2nd income in this household.

I know after almost 4 years of this shit people just want things to be normal.

But normal (pre-pandemic) for me was getting 2-4 #colds a year (ALWAYS brought home by my partner). But I also had said partner, who could take up the slack, financially, if I got sick.

Ughhh. Self-advocacy is tiring. #RSV #COVIDisNotOver

This is a close-up of half of a delicious pumpkin spice Bundt cake I got for my mom’s birthday today. The cake is this gorgeous dark brown moist deliciousness and it is frosted with an off-white buttercream frosting topped with little pumpkin candies. I made the whole family eat outside today. I wore a mask the whole time except when I was eating my cake. Outside!

and other
will absolutely fuck over any plans you had.
Family & Friends meeting ❌
Click & Collect ❌(nice that Electronics stores offer that here still)
Grocery shopping ❌
Barber ❌

While my Rapid test stays negative I still feel quite funny (dizziness mainly)
My mother which I had contact with (she had a major headache this day) meanwhile gets a solid line in 5 seconds...

While Isolation requirements are no more I feel like a dick if I would go outside.
