Welcome to General Chat - GAW Community Area
This General Chat area started off as a place for people to talk about things that are off topic, however it has quickly evolved into a community and has become an integral part of the GAW experience for many of us.
Based on its evolving needs and plenty of user feedback, we are trying to bring some order and institute some rules. Please make sure you read these rules and participate in the spirit of this community.
Rules for General Chat
-
Be respectful to each other. This is of utmost importance, and comments may be removed if deemed not respectful.
-
Avoid long drawn out arguments. This should be a place to relax, not to waste your time needlessly.
-
Personal anecdotes, puzzles, cute pics/clips - everything welcome
-
Please do not spam at the top level. If you have a lot to post each day, try and post them all together in one top level comment
-
Try keep things light. If you are bringing in deep stuff, try not to go overboard.
-
Things that are clearly on-topic for this board should be posted as a separate post and not here (except if you are new and still getting the feel of this place)
-
If you find people violating these rules, deport them rather than start a argument here.
-
Feel free to give feedback as these rules are expected to keep evoloving
In short, imagine this thread to be a local community hall where we all gather and chat daily. Please be respectful to others in the same way
Vertigo (dlzzlness, or lightheadedness) can be the result of covid. Also memory loss. Did you have covid?
I had a summer cold in June when the weather was fluctuating. It would be warm when I went to bed at night, and then it'd cool off and I'd wake up cold around 4am. That's what gave me a cold at that time. I noticed a bit of the memory loss happening since then. In fact, last night I suddenly couldn't remember the name of the city I lived in for 3 months about 12 years ago. I think the lightheadedness started sometime over the summer. Last week I started taking the last of my artemisia supplement and I felt a bit better, but I ran out before I could really tell a difference. Now the stuff is very expensive with the currency exchange rate. Then last month I caught something bad. It gave me a very high fever of 39.5 C and a bad headache. This lasted 2 days, but I was taking quercetin + zinc and I knocked it down to nothing. I felt a bit sluggish for a couple of weeks, but I've gotten back into an exercise routine. And despite ivermectin being discovered by a Japanese scientist, it is practically unobtainium here in Japan. I even checked out the pet section of the local home center and found nothing of the sort.
