ferretbecides the lab work01:27
ferretLjL: i have information for you01:28
LjLferret, sorry if i'm supposed to already know or else if i'm *not* supposed to know, but, regardless, may i ask what's your issues that cause you to be prescribed paxlovid and generally be monitored like this?01:28
ferretthe ritonavir tablets the old version with the strange symbol on it01:28
ferretthats been discontinued01:28
ferretthat was the version with the strange taste01:29
ferretthe newer NDC of the ritonavir built by another lab01:29
ferretdoesnt have that effect01:29
LjLweird01:29
LjLit was definitely a side effect that was recorded solidly as a paxlovid side effect01:30
LjLbut then does this mean they were contaminated by... something?01:30
ferretdonno but i tested both01:30
ferretthe discontinued version vs the new version01:30
ferretother one was only discontinued a month ago lol01:30
ferretold NDC01:31
ferretNDC 0069-1085-0601:31
ferret4 days with that and testing 2 days with NDC 0069-0345-0601:31
LjLferret, well, aside from the aftertaste, you haven't noticed differences, i dare say hopefully?01:32
ferretjust burning diarrhea but that could have been because of not drinking enough water01:33
LjLcharming01:33
ferretahahaha01:33
ferretstarted drinking more water no issues01:33
ferretLjL: Lyme disease got it a week ago01:35
ferretby an evil tick of doom01:35

LjLugh01:36
LjLLyme's not always a walk in the park :(01:37
LjLalthough it can be caused by one01:37
ferretLjL: im sleeping with someone that does not have covid-19 started paxlovid on day 001:38
ferretso far they have no covid believe it or not01:39
ferretso trying to prevent rebound because if i go into rebhind they get infected01:39
ferretlol01:39
LjLi can believe it. just remember that when you *stop* taking paxlovid it's likely your viral load will go up01:39
ferretLjL: even after 7 days?01:39
LjLyeah okay but don't take it for longer (or shorter) than prescribed... do you want to be the first one to test what happens if you do?01:40
LjLsure, people have tested positive for a month sometimes01:40
ferretthe doctor gave me an option to take it up to 10 days01:40
ferretnot sure if i should go behind 701:41
ferretthe omicron strain has more viral load01:41
ferretso i was thinking that if i take paxlovid longer01:41
ferretit will impact the cells more evenly based on the replication of the new variant01:42
ferrethow much not sure but i have a feeling 7 to 8 days01:42
ferretso far no genitive effect on my liver enzime levels are in the green01:44
LjLi don't even know what that means01:44
LjLlet me put you on a line with de-facto01:44
ferretLjL: oh one more side effect01:45
ferretmouth ulcers01:45
ferretjust a few01:45
LjLi have one and i'm not even taking paxlovid :(01:45
ferretahahahahaha01:45
LjLbut i definitely have something, a little general malaise and sick feeling i get every now and then. every "too often", i will say.01:45
LjLmy eyes itch and burn, i feel feverish despite no fever... always this shit every couple of weeks01:46
ferretallergies ?01:46
LjLnah01:46
LjLhappens the year over01:46
ferretLjL: is it lupus ?01:46
ferretbad joke lol01:47
LjLeither i'm just weak and with a weak immune system because i am a little shit who never leaves the house and never does exercise01:47
LjLor my mental gymnastics are right and i had something (which did give me high fever, but briefly) in 2016 that left me with some postviral thing that, like all of them, is not something any doctor will diagnose01:47
LjLgonna try to sleep now01:48
ferretnite nite LjL01:48
ferretLjL: strange01:48
LjLi have GERD and it's currently being bothersome, but i doubt GERD can cause all these things01:49
LjLnausea, fine01:49
LjLi bet it's lupus01:49
ferretlol01:49
LjLnight01:49
ferretnite nite LjL01:50
LjLi almost always used to get a cold sore together with this set of symptoms, but i've been taking prophylactic acyclovir for a while (against doctor advice, if i have to tell the truth)01:51
LjL(but, hey, i still feel like crap but i've not had any more cold sores since)01:52
