I finally got mine back after 2 weeks!

I know it sounds weird - but running helped me get my sense of smell back faster! I think due to breaking a sweat and loosing up all the mucus, I was able to recover my sense of smell faster. It also helped combat the fatigue I was feeling since I was more active during the day.

People who had the virus and recovered, what were your initial symptoms? I’m having a sore throat and headache and I’m getting worried

Thanks Op. I appreciate this information

I believe nasal steroids are often used in these cases but the jury is out on the impact steroids can have in exacerbating lung damage for those having had COVID

You all need to stop with the “you’ll get skinny!!!!” comments. jfc

Desi Fam,

I suffer from depression and anxiety. Been facing it through past year now. Have tried all natural methods but no success. Also pandemic hasn’t made it easier as well.

Lot of pressure from family to get married but with my state of mind, not so much inclined. (M29).

Family thinks it good to move back to india and try afresh but the prospect of not been able to get good salary job/ and sabotaging a career that I made gives me more anxiety.

It’s in the middle of the night so the perfect opportunity to share my story. I was diagnosed with MSH6 Lynch Syndrome in 2017. In order to be proactive I decided to get a full hysterectomy 3 years ago. Because of this I was forced into surgical menopause. I started on Estradiol patches for awhile then moved to a topical cream now am on the pills. Initially Premarin but due to increasing prices I’m back on Estradiol. I don’t sleep very well, still get hot flashes, and experience highs & lows.

Has anyone successfully gotten their company to change their benefits? Our speciality pharmacy provided (Accredo) is so inept I’m repeatedly missing doses of my medication and routinely spending over an hour on the phone during work hours arguing with them. I work at a small company (40 people) and our insurance is blue cross Illinois (who contracts with Accredo for specialty pharmacy). Is there any way I could convince them to switch specialty pharmacy providers? Who would I even talk to?
