@dlkfiretruck my friend has healed, but it took her a long time, and it was quite scary for her. Fortunately, she was fully vaccinated or it might hav...

Jillian, I think the only way to be sure is by trial and error, which is what you’re doing. Try something, then abstain if there seems to be an advers...
