Rona got me

[tacodawg]

After avoiding the mother17er this whole time, it finally got me after being on a week long sea trial with members of the US, Canadian, and Australian Navy.

Dr. Pepper tastes like complete and total *** now and Busch Light tastes how I’d imagine a moldy strawberry would taste like.

 

[57stratdawg]

Weird. That’s what i assumed Busch Light tasted like anyway.**

 

[tacodawg]

Don’t hate on the Latte’s

 

[onewoof]

Ready to read more about people claiming there's no long covid symptoms.

1/3 of a population will live in denial. Every time

 

[mcdawg22]

I breezed through it, I hope you do too. Only major factor was brain fog which affected me at work. Now after the fact was a different story. I had been working on cardio because I was taking a RC cruise and we were stopping at their island which has a huge Waterpark and I wanted to be able to chase my daughter around without passing out. I was fine with it and all of the snorkeling I did. Got covid the next week and the first time I cut grass I was wheezing. I am just getting my lungs back to pre Covid capacity.

 

[DesotoCountyDawg]

Oh lord here we go.

 

[tacodawg]

That sounds rough. Only symptoms I’ve had so far are a migraine, body aches, and I can **** through a straw even looking at food- as well as the weird taste thing.

Also my vision is blurry af. But I think that’s a side effect of the migraines. Being that I’m 100% immunocompromised, I am somewhat worried but so far so good.

 

[Cooterpoot]

.

That's the Busch Light I remember

 

[aTotal360]

Don't knock a blue gill.

 

[Motodawg]

When i got it, Mobile Bay said he hoped i died. Good luck to you!

I thought reach arounds were frowned upon?

???? I'm not even sure what argument you're referencing here. There are always people that have trouble kicking lingering impacts from whatever illness. There is always a challenge determining which people are suffering long term symptoms, which are suffering from pre-existing issues, and which are hypochondriacs. Is there something different going on with COVID?

Sure hope the the Chinese were responsible when engineering the virus and didn't engineer it to cause long term symptoms.**

 

[thatsbaseball]

Just finished 5 days of Paxlovid this AM. Worked like a champ after two days and I'm good now. So what's next...who TF knows.

 

[tacodawg]

They offered Paxlovid but told me there’s no way to know the side effects yet.

 

[thatsbaseball]

And they're right. I'm just old as dirt and it was worth the risk...I hope.

 

[GloryDawg]

I got the booster and caught it. Last month I got it again. You going to get it. Let just hope each variant gets weaker.

 

[Coast_Dawg]

Those damned sea trials will get you eventually. Half of my work group had been on ROM through today.

 

[Leeshouldveflanked]

China did a good job engineering that virus. Now that they are getting more DNA info on Americans they will engineer a better version on the next virus.

 

[BoDawg.sixpack]

That's basically it in a nutshell.

When asked, I always tell people there's a plethora of illnesses and injuries, not to mention the physiologic and psychological impacts of plain old aging, that negatively affect people the rest of their lives. The long symptoms of covid are real... along with a hundred thousand other things that would have happened to you along the way. That's one reason preventative health strategies and good old fashion common sense when taking care of your body are more important than ever. I'm astounded by the number of people that seek health care intervention for malaise/lack of energy, and when they are asked to describe their daily routine and lifestyle history it's painfully obvious they've gone years without taking their health seriously.

 

[tacodawg]

For sure. 361 folks packed in tight on a DDG, bound to happen.

 

[johnson86-1]

China did a good job engineering that virus. Now that they are getting more DNA info on Americans they will engineer a better version on the next virus.

I'm starting to think I shouldn't have done that tik tok challenge where you prick you finger, collect blood on a slide, and then mail it to the Wuhan Institute of Virology.

Paxlovid

Anybody else that’s been on paxlovid have that bitter metallic taste you can’t get rid of? Stuff works but hated that side effect.

 

[Dawgbite]

Has anyone compared those who have had Corona vs those who have willingly mailed their DNA to Ancestry dot com?

 

[fang]

As i understand, its just a repackaged antiviral - you'll be fine. hang in there.

 

[thatsbaseball]

Yea that sucks but if that's my worst side I'll be very happy.

 

[Mobile Bay]

Has anyone compared those who have had Corona vs those who have willingly mailed their DNA to Ancestry dot com?

I took a DNA test a few years back. Never got the rona and learned I was black.

 

[tacodawg]

Visit DIP and let us know how it goes in that case

You’re welcome

[bulldoghair]

Anyone else here on six pack not had any Covid shots, never officially had Covid, or ever had a reason to even be tested for it?

 

[Fktdawg]

Yes. Bitter metallic taste after every dose. The 5th day seemed to be the worst.

This strain I had was awful. Worst damn sore throat I have ever experienced. Like swallowing fire.
Awful headache and body aches. Constant fever for about 4 days.

No appetite and also could **** through a straw.

Started Paxlovid on Thursday and was improved 2 days later and by the 5th day of paxlovid pretty much 100%

I better have some top notch antibodies after enduring that ****!

 

[paindonthurt]

Well I’ve had it twice.

Not sure I’ve had or have long COVID though.

 

[paindonthurt]

I’m glad you didn’t die.

 

[Uncle Ruckus]

I’m vaccinated and still have got it three times. I also was back to work as soon as I could be and working out at home while I had it. There’s long term effects from any disease idiot

 

[paindonthurt]

Wonder who backs paxlovid but doesn’t back ivermectin.

69 year old kiwi project manager I work with just got it and they gave him ivermectin. He leans left a little, pro mask, pro vaccine. Had no idea ivermectin was a “controversy”. Took it. Didn’t kill him. He’s back at work being the same funny dickhead he was before.

 

[tacodawg]

I had the first shot because my job threatened us. Only got tested because I have a disease called Muckle Wells and started running a fever of 104 at work

This deserves to be called out for an upvote. Solid.

 

[IBleedMaroonDawg]

Anyone else here on six pack not had any Covid shots, never officially had Covid, or ever had a reason to even be tested for it?

I had the first pair of Moderna shots and never had any booster shot because I have had reoccurring infections but I have not tested positive or been sick. My wife is a nurse. She had non symptomatic Covid and has been around Covid patients since it started. I may catch it tomorrow but I haven't had it yet. I hope it's just that God decided I had enough on my plate medically.

 

[mcdawg22]

My 11 year old. But she probably had it and was asymptomatic at one point.

 

[Dawgbite]

I had the J&J shot plus the Moderna booster and have yet had Covid. I’ve been exposed and tested multiple times but I’ve been lucky so far. I normally catch everything. Wife got it while we were on vacation in a RV. Spent 3 days in the RV with her before she felt like she could ride home then rode six hours with her in the vehicle. I don’t see how I didn’t get it then. I avoid crowds, don’t touch things in public places and generally try to keep my hands in my pockets.

 

[engie]

Had 2x phizer last sept which the second dose made me feel bad for 2-3 days. Caught Covid end of December and felt bad for a full week. Have been non-Covid sick 3x this year since then including right now while working a big car show in Reno. Have also had an absolutely terrible year for allergies, by far the worst I remember. Prior to all of this, I averaged getting sick once every third year. All that to say it feels like my immune system has taken a dump, the cause of which I’m suspicious lies in one of the above, although I’m not sure which to blame.
