    Covid Vaccines

    Agreed! I think every business has the right to do what they need to to protect their employees and customers and wish more would be more assertive. They are too scared of losing customers or lawsuits. I also think it is ironic that the police (protect and serve) are not mandating vaccines...

    Covid Vaccines

    While I do not like businesses or at least hospitals not mandating their employees get vaccinated we still have civil liberties and freedoms to protect in this country. I do think at some point just like measles and chickenpox most schools will require Covid vaccines once all ages are approved...

    Covid Vaccines

    Most viruses are never "isolated" as to exactly where they came form, they used to be identified by the region or the world they were detected and likely started in, but rarely can we isolate to patient zero.

    Covid Vaccines

    What do you mean "isolated"? Do you mean where it came from? We will never know with 100% certainty where it originated, but we can comes up with some ideas. It was a mistake to write off a lab leak early on, but I do suppose people wanted to focus on the virus not the blame game in the...

    Covid Vaccines

    We have not stopped masking in stores since this started over a year ago. Getting ready to order more masks now that they are so cheap and you can get FDA listed masks.

    Covid Vaccines

    I don't struggle at all, these people tend to be the biggest hypocrites, they don't care about anyone but themselves or they would have gotten vaccinated. I do care about those with underlying conditions that prevent the vaccine from doing all it can. I somehow doubt private insurance will...

    Cleveland Clinic Questions

    Great news! I love Cleveland Clinic, no offense to OH, but if it were in a better state (many factors, climate being first) I would move there to be near such excellent facility.

    Covid Vaccines

    I will watch how I say this, but other than those being vaccinated that have underlying health conditions that still make them vulnerable I say let Darwinism take its course. The government should stop paying for cold treatment for any eligible person that has not gotten vaccinated, after all...

    Covid Vaccines

    Of the fully vaccinated people being hospitalized and dying almost all of those have immuno-compromised underlying conditions such as organ transplant patients. Those in reasonably good health even if they get it are not going in the hospital.

    Covid Vaccines

    you would have to expand the last 3-7 days, the uptick is compared to the rolling 10-30 day numbers. In LA they had 30 in hospital 3 weeks ago, now they have almost 150. Those going into hospital are in worse condition than those months ago due to delta. The percentage of deaths for hospital...

    Irregular Heartbeat

    I go in a week, but the PVCs don’t happen during exercise, later in day when i settle down. Seems it is a “common’ thing they see in athletes some times.

    Irregular Heartbeat

    The Kardi is a mixed bag sine it was really designed for A-Fib detection. If you pay the fee I believe it will provide better results, but if I have concerns I just export the trace to a PDF and email my doctor. The default is either "possible A-Fib, unclassified or Normal", with the service it...

    Irregular Heartbeat

    I do not drink caffeinated drinks and reviewed the known stimulants that add to PVCs. Best I can see it is my increased exercise that is rising my heartbeats then and later in evening when I settle down as well as go to bed my body is still over stimulated. Morning I am usually fine. Even with...

    Irregular Heartbeat

    I think it is increased exercise in my case.I have been walking more and working out more. I have been having them a bunch lately, mostly in evening and when going to bed.

    Irregular Heartbeat

    I have had PVCs on and off for years. Last 2-3 weeks they have gotten strong and long. I bought a Kardi which is an FDA approved EKG system. It is really designed for A-Fib, but an EKG is an EKG. If it is not A-Fib it tends to show "unclassified" unless you pay for their service. 2 nights ago I...

    Cleveland Clinic Questions

    Good luck, you are in great hands they are a well oiled machine there. I kid the wife we should retire to that area to be close to such excellent medical care.

    Colonoscopy

    Wooho, 5 days to INR of 2.2. This is about half the time as last time. I took my normal 7.5mg each morning and then added 3mg each evening for 3 nights. Now back to just my normal dose. Far better than the 9 days to 2.0 last time.

    Colonoscopy

    Actually it is rather a non-even unless they remove big polyps, they they should cauterize them or be sure they have fully sealed them. They took a 10mm and 15mm flat polyps (would have definitely become cancerous) that were difficult to remove and they clipped it. Well 2 days later as I went...

    Colonoscopy

    After my bleed last time I was scared to start day of, he said OK, but he did remove 5 polyps. So I took 5mg that night then my regular 7.5 next morning and 7.5 today. I tested this evening and saw 1.3 and sai let's spike the dose with a kicker (3mg) each night for another night or 2 and I...

    Colonoscopy

    So I had my Colonoscopy Wednesday and GI said resume meds. I was bridging with Lovenox so that night I took 5mg (normal dose is 7.5) then following AM went to my normal 7.5. Last time it took 6 days to get to 1.7 which in theory is OK for my On-X and 10 days to get over 2.0. This time I am going...
