3. That will not be known for a long time.

I get Botox for daily migraines and about 6 months ago I asked my neurologist about the long term effects but I knew the answer before I asked it, I guess I just wanted confirmation. Scientists will not know long term effects for many, many years.

I saw my primary care doctor for the 1st time in a year about a month ago and I told him I don't want to to go into hospital settings for unnecessary tests for fear of getting Covid. I thought he would say I am being paranoid and ridiculous but he didn't. He said he understood and the test wasn't necessary. He was glad to hear that I was up to date on the disease and how it is still risky.

I always wear a N95 mask whenever I leave my apt and no one is allowed inside unless they are masked too. No one has been pissed off at all when I ask them to mask up in my presence.

Since I have obvious neurological issues (the severe migraines for 7 years) I am not taking any chances. I figure that wince I do get migraines from the boosters (the most recent one was the worst by far) I am likely prone to getting some sort of problem if I do catch Covid.
