Rebi said you worry about you and yours, I'll worry about me and mine. Good day. You ready to eat? 😅

when things really aren’t coming up robotwrangler I start doing little sketches of yes man saying nice & reassuring things. and it genuinely helps

i keep thinking about how they use sonic advance 3 in particular in the one flashback in sonic prime, it's because that's where 'unbreakable bond' originates from!

Sonic and Tails' unbreakable bond is so important to sonic (the character and the series)

Have been off my antidepressants for a week now and I would like for the random crying and the general emotional turmoil to stop now, please. 😭

I honestly think neocities (as like, a tool) is super cool and fun and useful but also sooo many sites I've seen on there have a LOT of blinkies or other flashing graphics that you can't really turn off and that I don't think I've ever seen content warnings for. and it annoys meee. Flashing/flickering lights don't put me in any kind of actual danger (they just make my head hurt a bit, so I have to close my eyes) but that's not the case for anyone. It's irritating! I have to admit I don't fully understand how photosensitivy triggers work (I'm not even sure if that's the phrase I'm looking for?), but given the fact that most games/movies/shows will include warnings on them if there's flashing lights or strained colors, I get a little pissed off!

I will be forever grateful i can be on this new med. it's one a lot of folks also need and can struggle to have access to! It's important i be on it, especially if i start doing any vid collabs

(some of which, really, all of which, i unfortunately actually need to cancel that were in the preplanning stages, bc the election results have me wanting to wait and see how the general atmosphere of the country is before i agree to meet up with anyone. I feel bad for cancelling, but also i just can't know for sure how safe things are/might be going forward and I'd rather avoid the potential of. ya know. various not great things that could happen at a meet up, tho i would certainly hope they wouldn't. i don't feel like actually addressing them rn, u guys know what i mean)

That said, if the truvada initial side effects could fuck off asap would be so lovely. three weeks at worst, then they should be gone/much better or so i am told. really hope that's true bc losing my mornings to being dizzy and nauseous is Not Working for me lmao. im on week two, and now understand why my new doc said to call if i needed any 'cheerleading' and support to get thru the side effects, bc apparently she's done that for several ppl to make sure they actually make it thru the three weeks and keep on it (lovely of her!!)

Started on a new anti-migraine drug today (ajovy). Also have had terrible sleep - Especially today, but, like, all year. Also, y'know the migraines.

So not 100% sure if certain things are side-effects of the ajovy or just y'know, my body being upset with many things going on in its life - But more to the point: Should I be concerned with anything that I'm seeing/experiencing?.

Trying to google side-effects is sure a fucking trip, though.

Official company line on their site seems to be "Some swelling/irritation near injection site" is likely the only side-effect confirmed to definitely be from this medicine. Anything else? Well, that must be someone else's problem.

Various reddit posts of peoples' experiences with the medication - Mostly neutral-to-mildly positive. A lot of not-outright-negativity, but disappointment or frustration about the tradeoffs vs benefits. But the side-effects definitely vary wildly in type and intensity. The ones I'm curious about are topics of discussion that have come up with some degree of frequency.

Various interaction/drug rundown sites have much more comprehensive lists, but also include a warning that the ones I'm looking into may be serious/concerning and I should consult my doctor about them right away. Which, like, doesn't seem to be the tone regarding them anywhere else. So, more confusion as-to who's out of step here.

Meanwhile, the pamphlet that came in its box actually does have a more comprehensive list of possible side-effects. Doesn't list severity other than obvious "If experiencing anaphylaxis..." or other obvious emergencies/serious stuff, then go to ER/phone doctor immediately. Everything else listed is just sort of "This could happen" without any level of how concerned you should be.

The ones I've noticed are heartburn (Unusual for me without certain types and timings of trigger-foods, but not impossible to be something else going on that's unrelated to this). And notable joint-stiffness (hands and feet, especially on the same side as my injection), with a touch of joint pain. Both of those are in the "might happen in ~1% of patients" group. Which, hey, alright. That's fine. They're known to have a connection, echoing what the reddit posts were saying. From the tone in the pamphlet and on reddit, I probably don't need to be concerned unless they worsen or persist for a very long time.

Uncommon doesn't necessarily mean alarming, though I am curious as to if there's any correlation in the group of people that experience them. Any factor that might predict it, or explain why they're causing this reaction, y'know?

Okay. Good. No need to panic. Probably should sleep though. Less than 4 hours in the last 48 can't be good for me.

started taking my adhd meds again yesterday (i had to pause them bc they prescribed me bupropion on top of my elvanse and that jusr gave me turbo tachycardia while not really helping with fatigue) and im finally able to do tasks again but now it's back to no appetite unable to eat enough and weird feeling of restlessness and unease

Update

I got prescribed muscle relaxants for my back pain and they make me really groggy, hence why I haven't posted anything for the past two days. Sorry about that.

(Also, I stayed up til like 5 AM and got maybe six hours of sleep max, then had to go to my first therapy session with groggy brain and bad back. Thankfully Mom was there with me.)

(Then we had to stand in line for like an hour to get back our towed car that's not even ours- we're borrowing it from a friend while she's on vacation. So yeah. Fun times.)

COVID-19 treatments show minimal serious side effects

Numerous treatment options for COVID-19 have been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration over the last four years, including antiviral drugs and monoclonal antibodies that suppress an excessive immune response. Now, research from the Keck School of Medicine of USC has found that COVID-19 therapies cause few serious side effects, based on an evaluation of the full spectrum of evidence…
