Hey, if it works.
I gave up on the shots 30+ yrs agoThey really weren’t doing much.I took Claritin generic (atorvastatin) 365 days a year for the past 25-30 yrs.I used to travel 80% of my time all over the world and I suffered from frequent sinus infections. Those coupled with the variable air pressures whole flying were very painful to say the least.After I started taking the Claritin daily I never got another sinus infection.The past few years I thought my hay fever was getting worse. I suspected that my body was building up a resistance to the Claritin.I spoke to my doctor and he confirmed this was actually possible and thought that was happening.So I switched to Generic Zyrtec 365 days a year.Seems to be working.
Thats awful ..... the thing about any shot or vaccine is that it has the potential to affect everyone differently. Thats in part why I opted not to take the vaccine. I'm 64 and until a few weeks ago when I got Bell's Palsy and was prescribed prednisone, I had never had a prescription in my life (knocking on wood). I'm extremely active, so according to the "experts" I was a low risk of having serious complications from the virus. I got the China virus as I mentioned on here before and fortunately just had a cough and some fatigue ...... to me thats a better option than having to go thru what your dad has to do now. Its unfortunate that the government is taking the stance it has that either you are vaxxed or not vaxxed. There is a huge group of people that contracted the virus and recovered just fine that, again, according to the "experts", have better immunity protection than the people that have been vaccinated. I wish nothing but the best for your dad and family.
Thank you I appreciate it. I also opted not to get it. Was smart and got tested for anti bodies...which apparently I have without having had covid, at least to my knowledge. Dr. Says id be putting my body at more risk getting vax'd vs doing an antibody test occassionally. Makes sense...however I have to travel for work and it looks like a forced jab is enevitable. Guess its better than being Auatralian at the moment.
Atorvastatin (Lipitor) is for cholesterol. Claritin is loratidine. I too am in the club that knows more about prescription meds than I want too. Allergies are kicking my tail the last few weeks. Too much rain on the hill. Every mold and fungi known to man is busting out and and all the wild flowers are blooming like crazy
