Melon Presser  52116   |  Subject: RE: Ghoulies October: GHOULIE CRUSHERS!rh8463 - 2010-10-15 11:29 AM Hey Yanti, just tried to do some info gathering for you but a search of pubmed for chikungunya AND exercise came up with a grand total of zero papers. A recent review on it had lots of epidemiological data but only a tiny bit on treatment and the vaguely said treat to reduce symptoms, so NSAIDs, cortisone etc They did say that quinine might help inhibit the virus too so might be no harm in drinking lots of tonic water... Sorry I'm no more help! Yes. It is a trait in my family to have rare and bizarre diseases. Actually CHIKV has become epidemic/breakout in many places in Asia/Africa, but fairly recently, and of course there's no money in research in those places so it remains pretty ... dim. Pooh! I am def thinking about rocking the chloroquine.  |

TriAya - 2010-10-15 1:28 PM Dunno why I'm sharing this--just because I luv y'all I also deal with some "mental" (believe me like any illness it's all-encompassing) health issues and at times when I've disappeared from BT, the situation's been dire. BT folks have literally saved my life by tracking me down. I mention it, and I am sure you're like this anyway because you're such lovely people, but with those around you--no matter how sparsely you know them--never be afraid to reach out. Awww, never be shy to give us a shout anytime! |

I've talked to a handful of people here who have had it and generally they weren't back to speed (although that means normal life, none of them train or anything) until about 6-8 weeks. |

I have learned to stay out of supplement debates though because a lot of people believe a lot of stuff and it frustrates me, added to which I bite too easily when people aggravate me when I should know that it doesn't matter what I say they will never back down. So I just avoid them now and everyone is happy |

Elite 2640 Ontario, Canada | Subject: RE: Ghoulies October: GHOULIE CRUSHERS! One of my husband's friends asked me about steroids... I did a little research for him and brought back a solid argument about EXACTLY why he shouldn't do it. I had some reasons but he wanted lots of detail. Wouldn't you know it, I ended up in an argument with a pot head over which was a more reliable source - my journal articles or his biography of a baseball player who took steroids and experienced greatness. |
