Hey Daren, I hope she gets to felling better quickly. However, her headache may be starting to go away ....oh I'm not going to say it, oh ya 'cause you're out walking Gypsy!
Make sure and have some migraine medicine on hand. Excedrin migraine worked good for my wife.My second shot of Moderna is scheduled for February 16th. I am so excited.
Just to clarify, the American Journal of Medicine article did not provide new evidence that HCQ is effective. Instead the paper provided a proposed treatment flow chart for Covid patients out of the hospital, and which is based on older papers. It is in the authors’ opinions that absent controlled out patient experiments, that the drugs in their flow chart, including HCQ be used to treat this population.The news media, Facebook and others downplayed or blocked information on Hydroxycloroquine. Now FB announced this was a mistake.
Here's a report on HCQ as studied by C19Study Group.
A new study posted in the American Journal of Medicine in January found that early treatment of coronavirus patients with hydroxychloroquine lowered the mortality rate for the disease.
The study found that immediate use of HCQ, while the patient was still at home, showed significant benefits.
This is just the latest study that shows the effectiveness of HCQ in treating the coronavirus.
For the past several months the website c19study.com has been tracking the HCQ-coronavirus studies.
According to c19study.com there have been 237 studies, 171 of which were peer reviewed that show 67% of patients improved in early treatment trials.
It would be hard to study because HCQ is used for rheumatoid arthritis which is an autoimmune disease, making it hard to interpret results. But still interesting.I wonder if the scientist/doctors have considered studying patients with arthritis that have been taking HCQ prior to the pandemic and during the pandemic to see what type of response these individuals have had? Did they catch it? If they caught it, was it as severe?
Just curious if the pre-treatment with HCQ made any difference.
Lupus, too (also autoimmune).It would be hard to study because HCQ is used for rheumatoid arthritis which is an autoimmune disease, making it hard to interpret results. But still interesting.
I usually don't wade into the political threads but this fortunately did not happen. The Biden administration wants to close Gitmo but first they have to put everyone there on trial. To put them on the trial, some smart guy said it would be easier to vaccinate each prisoner before trial. But publicity stopped all that so now we're back at keeping Gitmo open.For those waiting for a shot you will be so happy to know that all the " terrorists locked up in Guantanamo started getting vaccine yesterday.. WTF ? IMO, they should be last if any left after all Americans that want it get it.
I'm still studying about it but my Wife decided from git go NO WAY. JOSE
Just don't share your crack needle or.... well..... you know what else not to do.How about the increased risk of getting HIV with the vaccine?
May not be a bad choice, who knows at this point.I will pass. The vaccine is too dangerous.
I went into basic training in January 1973. We went through a line as you described, but they were using a multi-vaccine gun at the time. I got my injections and went into anaphylactic shock. I woke up in the hospital a couple days later. I was told that I was allergic to one of the vaccines, but they did not know which one. After that,every time we had to get another shot for some reason, I was excluded or excused, whichever term you care to use. The only times I had to take injections was for deployments to various different countries. Those injections were for a gamma globulin shot. They always held me for observation for several hours in case I went into shock again. I never did from that shot but I had some severe reactions when they tried to give me a flu shot once. After that episode my medical record was flagged as I was allergic to the flu vaccine and they never tried that one again. There was one other episode where I went into into anaphylactic shock but it was from an antibiotic they gave me during a surgery.May not be a bad choice, who knows at this point.
In reading this thread I was wondering about your screen name @armylifer. As a Marine I was injected with God knows what, dozens of times--we just got in a line and here come the shots. No one told us what it was or why we needed it. I guess the Army must be very different, or maybe you refused to receive the vaccinations?
No, you get the same shots of GG and whatever else while in the army. Got one set of shots once in the motor pool before a deployment. Can't refuse or you're put out.May not be a bad choice, who knows at this point.
