Indian food can be good, too. They usually call for a LOT of spices, though the taste doesn't necessarily blow your head off. Also, a lot of it is "set it and forget it": meat & spices in a slow cooker or pot on low for awhile, rice in a pot or rice cooker, very easy. Also, keeps very well in the fridge if you're making a batch.

Let me recommend Nepalese... The best of Indian and Chinese rolled into one incredible cuisine designed to provide the necessary calories to provide both the energy and the fat content necessary to survive living in the Himalayas?

Just no. Two words: butter tea.
Now, I like butter tea, but I also acknowledge that I'm so weird I probably qualify as my own neurodivergent category and wouldn't recommend butter tea to anyone sane.

Consumer Reports did a piece on Long COVID in the October issue.
They think a Mediterranean Diet may reduce inflammation and be beneficial. They also advise moderate exercise, but never exercise to exhaustion.
But they had a lot more questions than answers.

@Aqua-Letifer thanks - forwarded to D2.
She made dinner the other night....
Texas chili. Made this one hot. Fritos do make a difference.

Thanks for asking.
Appetite is better, as long as the food's spicy. She doesn't look as worn as before. Stairs and carrying packages remain a struggle with shortness of breath.
She saw a pulmonologist (not a very good one, imo) who did a chest x-ray which was normal (as I would have expected). Her pulmonary function tests were almost normal. Her lung volumes were all normal and her ability to move air in and out was also normal.
However her "diffusing capacity" is reduced. This measures the ability of the lung to move gas into the blood. This is consistent with a microvascular involvement and thickening of the alveolar/capillary membrane (a 1 cell thick layer between the blood vessels and the air sacs. I have no idea if this is a permanent thing, and, frankly at this late stage, I fear it might be.
Work has not been affected, thank goodness.
Thanks for asking.

Same. Sorry to hear this, George.

The post from Jolyy about COVID and chronic fatigue made me make this post.
@George-K How is your daughter doing?

Remember when they told us "If you're vaccinated, you won't get COVID?"
Remember when they told us "Natural immunity will protect you?"
Yeah...

The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

Yeah, it seems little if any resistance to the disease but allegedly fewer and less severe symptoms - sometimes. A friend's mother (80s) had Covid and the docs are saying that it accelerated (worsened?) her dementia dramatically. They said they've seen that a lot.

I always felt/thought that vaccine and any natural immunity would help decrease the disease but not eliminate it.
I had COVID right at the beginning of the new year and I had somewhat recently had the booster. It was very mild - and the only reason I tested myself was because I had some meetings, etc. with lots of people. Tired for a couple of days, very low fever, but other than that, no problems.
Would have have been worse if I did not have the booster? Obviously impossible to say, but I am glad that I got the booster.

@George-K Seeing the recent forum thread on Horace made me think of your daughter. How is she doing now?
