Hey y'all! Does anyone have a link to somewhere I can compare the ingredients of the new Moderna and Pfizer boosters? All the articles I'm finding are along the lines of "no, it won't change your DNA", and are unhelpful for "does this contain acetic acid*"/allergy purposes I know the Moderna bivalent booster did contain acetic acid, and I had a severe-but-not-requiring-hospitalization allergic reaction to it, and I'm trying to figure out if I should go with Moderna again this time (pros: did not end up in the hospital. cons: did have a pretty severe allergic reaction) or try Pfizer (pros: have not reacted to it yet! cons: have not tried it yet, could be mega-allergic) Edit: Thanks everybody! It looks like the Pfizer booster does not contain acetic acid, so I will probably go with that one. I still might be allergic to something else in it, but at least I won't be deliberately injected with something I know I am allergic to?

*I know it's weird, but I am allergic to acetic acid. It might be a mast cell degranulation trigger rather than a true IgE-mediated allergic reaction, but calling it an allergy is shorter and requires less explanation (every time I mention my vinegar allergy I get someone in the notes saying it can't be a true allergy, so I guess I should say calling it an allergy is shorter everywhere but tumblr lol)

im thinking about possession aftereffects that linebeck experiences immediately after the events of phantom hourglass, so here are bullet points i have down for my own ideas

he’s out cold for roughly five days after the fight. he’s conscious for a bit after being freed, but it doesn’t take long for him to collapse once he’s transported back to the great sea. link finds him when he reaches his ship to see him again (he takes a lifeboat or w/e from tetras ship its a whole thing and not the point) and ends up having to take care of him for those five-ish days.

while he’s out cold, he develops a bad fever, and has a good few physical injures from being possessed; all of his wounds from being possessed manifest as burns, the worst wounds bring cauterized and mostly closed, while smaller ones are still open wounds. the largest wound is a large burn covering most of his back, which is cauterized by the time he passes out, and then there are smaller, still open burns on his upper arms and legs. (the smaller wounds are manageable by link when he follows some medical instructions, [there are some medical books on the ship] the larger one is also manageable, but takes a lot longer to properly heal).

(link asks tetra and her crew to stick around for a while to keep linebeck stabilized while he’s unconscious. when linebeck wakes up, tetra and her crew are good to leave because then linebeck can better report what’s going on, and knows how to handle injuries).

linebeck’s fever persists after he wakes up, and he experiences… pretty much every fever symptom, with especially bad chills and full-body aches. the aches are really bad for the first few days after he wakes up, he’s extremely physically weak and shaky for a while, too. that weakness and shakiness get better with time, but he doesnt go entirely back to normal without actually moving around and doing things to build that strength back up.

he’s delirious and struggles to stay awake for those first few conscious days, too, which makes that weakness and shakiness worse; he struggles to eat and drink water, and struggles to string together thoughts or words to talk to link, and both of them figure out pretty quickly that they’ll have to wait a bit longer before so much as an attempt to coax him out of bed can be made.

beyond existing problems with food, linebeck struggles to keep anything down while he recovers, and becomes ill pretty much every time after he eats anything, so a bucket is kept near his bed. with water, he obviously needs to drink a lot of it considering that he’s feverish, injured, and vomiting frequently, but while he’s sick he has a bit of an irrational fear of water (along with an irrational fear of air and the wind, which makes him hesitant to go outside while he’s sick).

he’s generally pretty irritable, which isn’t particularly new, but it makes him prone to refusing help with certain things. he’s less irritable when tired and just resting. he’s also especially nervous, and despite the overall fatigue, he struggles to sleep for very long while he’s sick, and as said before, is often delirious and even confused when things are bad.

along with the other difficulties eating, linebeck has a hard time swallowing for a bit, and salivates a lot more than normal while he’s sick. he is soooo fucking dehydrated the whole time and that really doesn’t help.

while the weakness and shakiness stays for the entire time he’s sick and even a bit afterwards, for the first few days after he wakes up he’s stiff and also experiences some muscle spasms and numbness in his limbs, and has a hard time keeping his balance the first few times he gets out of bed.

once the sickness clears up fully, linebeck has to still be careful with the scar on his back; it’s sensitive to touch for a while and hurts when exposed to the sun or air for too long and when he stretches his back too far, but eventually just reaches the point where it’s a bit sensitive but is otherwise just a large scar.

obviously he’s also going through the wringer in an emotional and mental illness sense too but those would require a whole new bullet point list.

doctor is out of the office until the 17th of next month haha fml the nurse said go to your gp (who thinks I am faking for attention) or an urgent care (and when has urgent care ever really helped and not just caused more problems)

👎👎👎👎👎👎 don't like

i love art, im very grateful for adderall for gifting me with the executive function, ease of prioritization, and clearness of thought <3

the Senshi effect is so real I just went out of my way to fry up some garlic to add to my usual breakfast because historically toasted garlic has helped me manage some Symptoms

my chest hurts again :( when they released me the ER was like "it was probably just the craziest most intense acid reflux anyone's ever had even though youve never had acid reflux before, good luck" but i have now eaten three tabs of chalk and it is NOT HELPING so i think they were wrong

Ayy gerd gang rise up!

My body just suddenly decided at some point that I can no longer eat my literal favourite vegetables (tomato and bell pepper), or salami, or cheese, or white bread without Fucking Dying :( (I still eat them though lmfao)

GOD I FEEL YOU SO MUCH 😭 i can't eat too much chocolate (literally one of my favourite foods) because It Causes More Acid but something i found out is how i literally am NOT ALLOWED to eat noodles because of their spices

so like. in summer of this year my gerd worsened significantly (that's when i found out i had gerd even tho i had symptoms for years) because i used to eat a lot of noodles and my gerd got worse to the point i used to cough because of it so like. i had to stop. and with pantoprazole it suddenly got better

THEN i tried eating 1 cup of noodles in mid september cus i was like. well it has been a while and i don't cough anymore and i'm on pantoprazole so i can eat one right. WRONG! I COUGHED THAT NIGHT! anyways yeah fuck gerd sorry for the ramble Why Can't Our Stomach Just Be Normal Gang

Plato repulsed culture is feeling nauseous whenever you see content about friendship or mentions of it

ouch m.y tummy

Hey y’all! Weird question time! First, an explanation: - I am allergic to vinegar - vinegar is acetic acid + water - apparently, the human body naturally produces small amounts of acetic acid And now, the question: Could I be slightly allergic to myself????? To the acetic acid??

6, 27 and 44 for the writer's ask please 👀

6. Single or multiple POV?

Depends on the work tbh, I've written both. Lately I've noticed I've been leaning more towards the single one... But "The Dollhouse" for example has alternating POV between Roxas and Axel.

27.  Favourite line/scene

The moment main character of my original novel WIP (that hasn't been touched in a looong time, but I swear, one day I'll get back to it, it isn't abandoned, it's just hibernating!) wakes up with a killer hangover after getting drunk the night before and then is hit in the face with the information, that the worst has happened. The information in question is delivered by their exgirlfriend, to make it more interesting.

44.  How much research do you do?

*glances at the old medical articles about lobotomy they downloaded from JSTOR for a future DMC fic* Definitely more, than I actually need, especially, since I tend to later pick what works well with the story and apply licentia poetica to the rest. ^^"

Good morning to every organ in my body except my stomach. Get your shit together

what is this feeling

i saw a psychiatrist who wants to run blood work and genetic testing and check my medication levels to see if they're actually therapeutic or need to be adjusted and she literally said "we're gonna get to the bottom of this"

i've never had a psychiatrist who takes a holistic approach? who doesn't just throw medication at the symptoms but wants to find the source and laser-target them specifically for my body? without being garden-state like any of that "meds are bad" bullshit, like, no you do need medication, but we're gonna find the right ones and go after the source

and she wants weekly emails with updates, even if it's just "no change", and is willing to stay late so we can schedule appointments after i get off work so i don't have to disrupt my schedule, and made it a point to tell me she's on-call 24/7 and will respond immediately to any emergency

i've literally been in shock for the past hour, like i've never had a psychiatrist like this before

actually hilarious that in over a decade of adult life and probably a double digit number of failed attempts at dieting and losing weight, the one thing that's motivated me enough to stick with it the longest was not "i want to look hot" nor was it "i want to stop ruining the inner thighs of all my pants" nor even "i want to reduce my risk of cardiovascular disease and cancer" but instead, somehow, it was "as i've gotten heavier over the years my heartburn has gotten progressively worse and more frequent until it's basically on a hair trigger, and by god i WILL enjoy orange juice again if it's the last fucking thing i do"

being a food snob is tough when your body seems convinced everything you eat is poison
