    The biology of coronavirus COVID-19 - including research and treatments

    Thanks. I was asking a while ago whether the eyes were still considered a vulnerable point, since the concentration seemed to have moved onto the airways.

    Covid-19 vaccines and vaccinations

    Running a Google (or whatever) search on "site:ft.com" and "interim analysis" will probably bring it up, regardless.

    Aripiprazole - Abilify

    Don't forget that there appear to be numerous reports of Abilify seeming to "stop working" after a few months, so increasing the dose may not have any effect - at least, not the intended one.

    Covid-19 vaccines and vaccinations

    A surprisingly in-depth article (assuming you can access all of it) from the Daily Mail on the rare blood clot (cerebral sinus vein thrombosis) which has been found in a few people who have had the AstraZeneca jab (with the usual caution relating to causation and correlation, of course)...

    Dispatches: The Truth About Long Covid Monday 15th March, 8pm

    I thought it was okay, but then I'm not as aware of ME politics as some on this forum. For those in the UK, here's the link (it was on Channel 4): https://www.channel4.com/programmes/the-truth-about-long-covid-dispatches ME (sorry, CFS) was mentioned. Their definition of Long Covid is pretty...

    Covid-19 vaccination experiences

    AstraZeneca, "moderate to severe" patient (may need to be updated as she only had it a few days ago): Okay initially, got shivery overnight. Spent the next two days in bed feeling pretty wiped out. Slightly raised temperature. Noticeable red patch BELOW injection site. Seems to be improving...

    Covid-19 vaccination experiences

    The "What to expect" leaflet with which vaccinees (is there such a word?) are issued says: "Although feeling feverish is not uncommon for two to three days, a high temperature is unusual and may indicate you have COVID-19 or another infection. ... These symptoms normally last less than a...

    Sodium dichloroacetate

    Am I imagining it, or was it dichloroacetate which was being mentioned on the BBC News the other night, possibly in conjunction with endometriosis? Edit: no, I wasn't: https://www.s4me.info/threads/article-bbc-endometriosis-how-new-treatment-changed-my-life-2021.19508/ Hmm ...

    Organ donation and blood donation

    In that BBC programme on Covid-19 a few weeks ago presented by the van Tulleken twins, there was something, maybe just a single sentence, which seemed to imply that using convalescent plasma on patients might actually make things worse. I barely registered it at the time, and can't remember at...

    Aripiprazole - Abilify

    My definition of "stimulating" includes something which encourages/tempts you to be more physically active, BTW. She's taking it twice a week because it's "easier". If it really does last in the body for 75 hours or whatever it is, that must surely mean that she's effectively bobbing around...

    Covid-19 vaccines and vaccinations

    I thought I'd posted a link to something saying that there seem to be more-marked reactions to the second Pfizer dose and to the first AstraZeneca one, but can't find it now, unless it's in the CDC link in #306.
