IN OTHER NEWS #chemo was bound to do a number on my immune system but then came #COVID19 and it's been a double doozie on my body.
but here's some anecdata: THING1 got me some lactose free choco milk cuz I thought it would help with my dwindling appetite.
nope.
started wheezing and coughing within minutes. even as "lactose free" something in the milk (and i know it's not the chocolate) triggered a response. so i backed off for a couple of days. guess what happened?
am afrocarib, so i know my cow-dairy issues (which, btw, i don't have with goat milk products like Manchego cheese).
but am flabbergasted by how fast it triggers my asthma and all the related symptoms; which also are symptoms of #LongCOVID but not necessarily of #chemo.
so here's what i wonder: could LC19 on some people be the consequence of allergic reactions they don't know they have?
we need work done on the connection of allergies and COVID.
today was the first time i went out to a food market in weeks.
crowding wasn't that bad but, JFC #COVID19#fatigue is real. i was just getting the hang of managing my #cancer#chemo fatigue. now this has made it worse.
so, i was freaking out a little because i was feeling really low-energy and fatigued today and was like, WTF #fuckCOVID19 it's been over a week; but i reckoned am not drinking enough coffee since i went to the hospital.
