Does ivermectin work for emphysema and COPD?

My mother quit smoking over ten years ago, but recently she learned she has early forms of both diseases.

I was told COPD is progressive and not reversible, but can at least have its progress stopped by quitting smoking, which again, she did a long time ago.

I have just under 80 pills left. I know where to buy more, but so much crap happened this month that I can't do it immediately.

On one hand, I'm trained to think this is just another MeToo false accusation, many years after the fact.

On the other hand, they hate us, so fuck 'em.

Cool.

My mother was just diagnosed with emphysema and COPD.

She quit smoking a decade ago.

Effects linger.

I was burning up for 12 hours.

I got over it thanks to doubling my daily Vitamin C intake and drinking LOTS of orange juice.

But once I cooled down, not only was I absolutely pooped, but I couldn't taste anything for a week.

Which is what happens when your immune system is done fighting something it's never encountered before.

I haven't caught it since. Because I'm immune.

Going to see my stepdad in the hospital tomorrow.

He's still in considerable pain, but it gets lesser every day.

He is expected to be discharged later this week.

Thank you all for your prayers.

Oh, as for the mirror, we decided to put a layer of Saran wrap between the tape and the wiring, so the adhesive would be easier to clean. Don't worry, the tape still stuck at the edges, and we placed it in layers bottom-to-top, like roof shingles, at your suggestion.

I first heard of this case thanks to the late Pat Robertson, the 700 Club guy, in his book "The Ten Offenses."

He hated this decision.

That was also a known tactic to ruin careers and lives of those they wanted removed...but yes, in this regard, every accusation is a confession.

What part of "It had to be this way" did you not understand?

Is that possible to do without doxxing myself?

I'm pretty protective of my identity here, due to a certain other close family member who would RUIN me if he knew I was here.

I appreciate the comforting words. This eases my heart a little about the ventilator.

I guess I should get specific about the model.

It's a 2020 Nissan Rogue, and here's the pic with the panel circled. The color is different, but the model and year are the same as the pic.

The strip of lights remains.

The mirror glass is undamaged, thank God. The mirror is still perfectly usable for the moment.

But the back panel, the part that faces away from the driver, is completely gone.

I saw that I can get an entirely new mirror for this car model for about 50 bucks, but I don't need a whole new mirror, just the back panel.

Heh, no, it's just an Engrish restaurant menu. I just chose it at random, that's all.

Here's the full pic.

If you meant Momiji Inubashiri...I just chose it because it's cute!

I appreciate it, and for future reference, I am male and always have been.

I thought people knew by now, sorry.

I didn't think it was relevant to Q or Trump at all--and it's not, it's personal--so I put it here.

Just so I'm clear, you think I should make this an actual topic?

The darkest hour is before dawn.

No. The darkest hour is around 2AM to 3AM. I hate this saying.

That being said, if this is about ending fraud, fine. As long as the people win.

I have a prayer request, and this is a big one, for multiple reasons.

My stepfather needed bypass surgery. He was driven to the hospital early this morning, before sunrise.

However, as my mother was driving him, she turned too soon, and got two tires over the edge of our driveway. We had to call a tow truck, which had to call another to help. And because they couldn't afford it, I had to pay for them, over $300 worth that I can't afford right now.

Then it got worse. On the way there, they passed some homeless guy, who got so angry at them for whatever reason that he threw his flashlight at our car, and not only caused serious scratches on the door, but the back panel of a side mirror got completely dislodged, exposing the wiring.

On top of all this, while the surgery did go well, he is currently intubated on a fucking VENTILATOR, for reasons I do not understand. He is expected to be in the hospital for five to seven days.

We don't know what we're going to do. Can GME please fucking go TO THE MOON! already?! That's my only backup plan, and I bought in (over ten shares) because I was desperate and I trust YOU guys!

Is it possible to duct-tape the back of the mirror in case we have to go somewhere when it rains? We have the car under a carport right now, so there's that.

Oh, and the car's not insured. Insurance was cancelled a month or two ago because we can't fucking afford anything right now. Because of all of Dad's testing and preparation for this surgery.

Oh, and the warranty on the car has expired because it's about four years old.

God, I'm so frustrated right now. Please pray for our well-being.
