Get well, Bruce!My wife started on Monday and I tested positive this morning. Feel crappy. taking cold and flu meds keeping the mucus down. Still have taste.
My wife can't talk (a good thing?) and mine does feel like rocks and gravel.I heard that sore throat was really bad with this go around of Covid
Both my wife and I had it in late October. Tested positive for about a week. All in all, it wasn't bad - never lost taste or smell, essentially no fever. Just a little nauseous for a few days, plus tired with little exertion. A bad cold is actually worse. Never got Paxlovid pills.My wife started on Monday and I tested positive this morning.

Felt crappy/fever last Wed. Tested positive. Advil/Tylenol/Sudafed rotation. Lost smell Friday. Didn't need drugs by Saturday. Smell came back yesterday. Really weird, but I'd say mild. Hope yours stays mild as well.My wife started on Monday and I tested positive this morning. Feel crappy. taking cold and flu meds keeping the mucus down. Still have taste.
One side effect of the Paxlovid that no doctor or pharmacist will tell you about - you'll wish COVID took your sense of taste. I had COVID in August and called my PCP just to report it and see if I should take anything extra or alter my daily regimen. They sent in a script of Pax. For the next 5 days while taking it my mouth tasted like the inside of a bum's pocket. I brushed my teeth 5 times a day and ate gum/mints constantly and it did absolutely nothing to curb that taste. Blech.Both my wife and I had it in late October. Tested positive for about a week. All in all, it wasn't bad - never lost taste or smell, essentially no fever.

I must be some kind of Covid resistant mutant. I’ve had it.. I know I have. My wife had it right next to me. But I’ve had very minimal effects. Very minimal. Absolutely no fever. No loss of taste. No runny nose. No headache. Nothing.My wife started on Monday and I tested positive this morning. Feel crappy. taking cold and flu meds keeping the mucus down. Still have taste.
Are you sure the vaccine didn't give it to you the second time.**I've had it twice. Vaccine helped on that 2nd round. First time was a MFr!
Those damn chinese are brilliant. Engineered a virus that can basically draw symptoms out of hat. Can be any one or combination of fever, aches, *****, sore throat, congestion, cough, fatigue, brain fog, horniness, loss of taste, loss of smell, rash, shortness of breach, or none of them at all. It's incredible.*I heard that sore throat was really bad with this go around of Covid
My first time with Covid was similar to that, but the longer effect of what I would call "Mind Fog" was the bigger issue. Seemed to hang with me for around 6 months, where I literally could not focus on a single task. Really jacked with my work production.My son-in-law tested positive for it yesterday. Thought he had strep throat because throat was really sore. First time he had it. I’ve had it before, back in July 2020 before they had the vaccine. My body hurt from head to toe and just sapped the energy completely out of me. I didn’t completely get my energy back for a couple of months. Hope you feel better soon.
Thank goodness for SPS!My first time with Covid was similar to that, but the longer effect of what I would call "Mind Fog" was the bigger issue. Seemed to hang with me for around 6 months, where I literally could not focus on a single task. Really jacked with my work production.
Don't take lots of vitamin D. It can be toxic at high doses. But, get your Vitamin D level check and maybe start on a dose a day but check with your doctor.Take lots of vitamin D3! I hope you feel better.
Don't you have to announce your pronouns in your bio too to claim having long covid?The positive is for the rest of your life you can play up, "long covid." It's going to become the new fibromyalgia and PTSD.
This!Take lots of vitamin D3! I hope you feel better.
I think a lot of this stuff tends to forget we all have a unique DNA Barcode given to us by God an often times we look at these kinda things in too much of a collective mindset instead of in an invididual kinda way. Too much worshipping "Settled Science" sometimes IMO. I went against doctor's orders refusing antibiotics on several occassions and always refused the flu shot and would never consider a Covid Vaccine Shot. I have not had the flu in 20 years but did get Covid in the summer of last year. I'm 59 and probably had the schit for 2 months or so but didn't know it because I had no fever or respiratory issues. Only dizziness and no way to maintain strength when trying to perform minimal physical tasks. Would lose my breath and avoid fainting by laying down immediately. Finally went to the doc, got my 5 days worth of meds and was 100% day 4. My point is that due to my life choices and not going with the crowd, I developed a damn good immune system. Instead of antibiotics, I went with what my Grandma Knew.
I was really joking because I have had three shots and got Covid twice since my third one.Not sure how to take this?
All I know is I was diagnosed with Covid and took the antibotics and was cured in 4 days.Doesn't the antiviral med have to be taken within 5 days of contracting Covid to be effective?
Sure fire cure for the cold is take in plenty water, food, rest and in about two weeks it should gone.All I know is I was diagnosed with Covid and took the antibotics and was cured in 4 days.
Maybe some will "play up" long covid, but that **** is very real. My very healthy nephew had to drop out of college due to long term cognitive effects. He has one semester left and honestly doesn't think he can finish due to brain fog and memory loss. Kid made a 34 on his ACT and was on the Deans list every semester until he got Covid.The positive is for the rest of your life you can play up, "long covid."

I Pray he recovers but glad folks like you were not in charge of D-Day. Just Sayin', And Desantis and Sweden say "Hold my Beer".Maybe some will "play up" long covid, but that **** is very real.
