@shiels @craner @yyaldrin please describe your hangovers recently

 

[yyaldrin]

do you smoke when you drink? smoking makes your hangovers a hundred times worse.

 

[luka]

if i drink past a certain point, i dont know exactly what the threshold is, 5 drinks maybe? then i tend to end up smoking

 

[yyaldrin]

i mostly experience what you call metaphysical hangovers. if it's winter i wake up late afternoon so it's sometimes dark already, i think it adds a jet lag effect to your hangover cos it feels like you skipped a day. i feel disorientated, tired, weak. the headache is so bad i have to dim most of the lights or need sunglasses. i can't read a line of text or see a movie longer than 10 minutes. sometimes i force myself to go outside, but then i get confronted with people who are active and joyful and it makes me feel even worse, as if i've wasted a day. the second day of my hangover i feel tired and sleepy, as if i'm experiencing everything from under a veil.

@luka The few I've had recently have been physically and psychologically devastating, so now I avoid them.

easier said than done, no?

yyyaldrin, i agree with you you should definitely give up drinking, at least for a month or so to try it out. doesn't sound worth it to me.

Frequent.

Hydration is key. drink two pints of water before bed and bring another one with you. dioralyte too

You need to not be be so wasted that you're danger of pissing yourself, of course.

Like this?

 

[luka]

two-thirds of people with Omicron in England had virus before - just like an off-target vax increases the odds of being infected, so does having been infected with too dissimilar a variant in the past.

How are the Christmas covid crew and their acquaintances faring with long covid?

I am having to eat and sleep a lot and can't listen to much music without getting a head-hurty.

I've heard that a friend of mine who caught it last October (therefore probably Delta variant) still can't walk for five minutes without being exhausted, is still off sick from work, basically scared like hell that she's never really going to "get better".
