Fucking Covid

[Mega Hertz]

This shit has been around for, what...three or four years? I had it once in 2021 but didn't even know it. My wife said hers felt like a slight sinus infection. No big deal.

That changed this week.

It finally caught up with us. I was in bed, asleep, from 11 last night until 7:30 tonight. I never get sick. Ever. And I haven't been this sick since I was in high school. Luckily, around then, I was able to get up and get back to "normal", in a sense.

You can feel how you wanna feel about covid, but my God. It absolutely put me down on my ass, literally. Holy shit. I wouldn't wish that on my worst enemy. At least it happened at a convenient time. No plans this weekend, no work until Tuesday.

I'm getting over it right now. Watch the cough, last time I had it, I got pneumonia.

Get the fuck out...

My aunt (who already has MS and a compromised immune system) got pneumonia, too.

We had gotten the vaccine in 2021, but got cocky the last couple years and didn't get it. I wonder if that's the difference. My wife is over 7 months pregnant so I'm a lot more concerned for her. I can deal with a day of sleep. I gotta be well enough to take care of her.

Well, getting vaccinated typically helps you avoid getting sick! I know I wish I would have stayed up on it. This is no bueno.

I hope neither of you have lingering effects. Even the newer less potent strains have been suspected of tissue damage in lungs, heart and brain.

You can believe we will be seeing our doctors. I mean, barely 24 hours later and I feel back to normal. That's just weird. I didn't catch it during its heyday, and even when I did, I had zero symptoms. I think the lack of vaccine screwed us. My main concern is her and the baby. I need them to both be okay.

My sister just came down with it for the second time. She's vaccinated, but I think members of her husband's family are not and she saw them on Christmas Eve - and I then saw her on Christmas Day, before she started feeling sick. I haven't shown symptoms yet (and I got my latest booster about a month and a half ago) so hopefully if nothing's happened by this point I'm good.
Feel better soon, MHz!

When I got it last year I had symptoms on day one. Woke up say two and felt fine. Nothing wrong but had to wait for negative test to resume life. Took six days to get the negative. Have been vaxxed and two boosters. Doctors orders not to take any more due to side effects from the three I got.

I have had 3 boosters. I travel toomuch to risk going without. Michigan does have quite a bit right now. Fortunately, I am somewhere secluded and the locals believe in science and statistics.

I would be up to date if not under doctor orders not to. As it is I have at least two surgeries to look forward to because of the side effects of those I have gotten

It would be interesting to know why you had side effects while so many didn’t hardly feel it… it sucks and it seems extremely random.

It's amazing that this "lesser strain" absolutely put me on my ass. You know we will be getting our boosters and shots next year. This one was on ourselves.

[zzand]

It does suck and three different doctors had no rational explanation for me as they were baffled too. Pretty much they said to the effect, everyone is different and your body just didn't like something in the Moderna vaccine and boosters. The hope is after the surgeries I will be able to get back on track with the jabs. Meanwhile I walk with a cane, have dropped 78 pounds, which is a good thing, back to high school weight, and hope to keep it off once surgeries are done.

Wow ZZ sorry to hear about this

After I seeing what the booster did to my dad, I am done with taking boosters. I have an overactive immune system and an undiagnosed immune system issue. I took a booster in November 2021 and also had the regular series.
