It's also good to keep in mind that even a low efficacy flu vaccine is still likely to keep you and your loved ones out of the hospital and out of the morgue.

Thus concludes my ongoing plea for people to get their flu shot ASAP.

Make sure you take a Covid test, pretty early for cold season. It’s ramping up, have been sick for almost 2 weeks with the latest Covid variant.

Dymista is not ideal for sure, who needs potentially immune suppressing steroids! Does require a prescription but a pharmacist can prescribe (has to be on-label use).
I called my pharmacist today and he wasn’t aware of any azelastine-only nasal spray in Canada. Compounding is worth asking about.

We did not expect the full frontal attack on the peach
This simple joy that provides sweetness and tells us that the peak of summer has arrived

We expect wildfires to consume our homes
Embers lighting the pine needles we neglected
We dread that we may have forgotten to clean our eaves troughs
Or removed sufficient lower limbs of trees

Perhaps not the most significant climate impact
But one that strikes the heart at an acute angle
An insult to our expectations of the summer

Good to hear Trevor!

Hope you’re recovering well, Trevor

Oh dear
