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
Healthfags! Any advice for a friend of a fren? I have a friend in AZ (Liberal, but unvaxxed and won't have his family take it either) has had eye irritation since November. He's been to an opthamologist about it too, who just wanted him to take a steroid. He describes it as such: "I can only describe it as feeling like I stayed up all night playing video games without a lick of sleep combined with the feeling of dust and grit in my eyes."
Thoughts/advice? He's never suffered from allergies before, he says. It's worse when he is home at night. He recently had to have his old cat put down, but he's had a cat as long as I have known him (20+ years).
Turmeric is a good, natural anti-inflammatory. But that's addressing symptoms, not the root problem, whatever that may be.
Tell him to go to Perkins and Delany eye doctors. They are fantastic. They did my cataract surgery. There’s several throughout the valley I highly recommend.
Also, if you had a cat for 20 years, he should be taking some ivermectin. He may have parasites. But that’s a whole Nother topic.
