Please advise!
My crazy, rapid fire, neurotic, fearful, and hypochondriacal brain is having a field day....
I received my second pfizer dose 1/9. One hour after injection I took 600mg of Ibuprofen. I continued on a 600mg q6h regimen for the next day and a half..... I hadn't thought of the possibility that the NSAID could blunt the immune response.
Despite the ATC ibuprofen, I still suffered chills, malaise, nausea, HA, and muscle aches.
I can't stop perseverating... did I fuck it up?

While there’s some sparse data in kids to show that quantitative antibody count is a little lower in those who take anti inflammatories there’s really no data so far to suggest that it interferes with qualitative immunity. CDC and WHO still recommend avoiding premeditating but are ok with people taking them for unpleasant side effects

.....continued.... Did I blunt the effect? Do i need a neutralizing antibody test? Another dose? My one and only chance to vaccinate and I doused it in ibuprofen.

I’m on the high side of the BMI scale and really want to prioritize healthy movement. Not ready to formally go back to the gym or do fitness group classes inside (both from a covid mentality and feeling uncomfortable due to size). Started walking more and incorporating some cardio videos, thinking of getting a machine for my apartment (bike, elliptical, etc.)…any recommendations of best machine to incorporate or additional fitness ideas?

Getting over heartbreak and having a full time job is torture lol. My boyfriend and I just broke up after almost a year of being together.

My body hurts, my stomach is in knots, my head hurts. How is it that I have to mend a broken heart but also meet my billable hours lmao

I have a Q that I worry is going to make me sound like a jerk, but want some opinions. I do strength training 2x/wk with a trainer who was assigned to me at a gym where I bought a pack of sessions. I don’t really consider myself “his” client bc the relationship is managed by the gym… but lately he keeps saying like “I can’t wait to see what my clients give me for Christmas” and I find it super awkward. I pay $150 per session for these workouts (cont’d in comments)…
