Everything COVID

[BigJay]

Sucks. Was diagnosed after a trip to the ER on Thursday evening.

Feel pretty bad. It’s worse at night. That’s when the congestion, drainage, body aches really kick in.

They put me on an antiviral medication I take for 5 days.

I also got it in early 2021 and it was much worse then. Temp 102.5, horrible night sweats. All the symptoms were much worse.

My temp spiked at 100.4 first day and has been normal to low grade since then. Definitely a difference from the one two years ago but I still feel pretty bad.

Hoping it’s over in 5 days like the last one. Definitely hoping I don’t lose my ability to taste food for 7-8 months like the last one either. That was maddening. ER doc said he hasn’t heard about taste loss near as much lately.

And yes, for anyone curious I did have the vaccines and booster in 2021, starting shortly after I had COVID the first time.

Get well soon Jay, my 2nd time was like 10x worst than the 1st time and yes i had all the shots and boosters too, heck the 2nd time it took me like 3 weeks to really feel normal again with taste and all

Sorry to hear that man. Hoping as well that it’s over soon. At least your are vaccinated which should help overall effect a bit

I’ll provide you gambling winners if needed these next few days

Keep us posted bro

Some do not take it

I hope you feel better , stay positive. I have had covid a couple of times and it was pretty bad. Nowhere near at when I had Dengue fever though. Being sick sucks! Sending a prayer your way!

100% it does though its effect obviously wanes, hence why it helps to stay updated

If not fully updated @BigJay I would go get the latest booster a few months after you’re in the clear from this illness

I'm so sorry to hear this, BigJay. Just still try to eat even if you lost your taste and try to build up your immune system. Covid is totally not cool.

I just had my 4th vaccine last Monday.

Sorry to hear about this BigJay.

I take vitamin C (extended release so as not to upset my digestive tract), vitamin D, zinc and of course a daily multivitamin. I'm not a doctor so I don't know if that all works but if I've ever had Covid, I didn't know about it.

 

[jjgold]

Be careful taking Zinc its powerful and can be destructive

Too much Zinc is bad

Stop the bullshit

 

[Capitalist Pig]

Hope you get well soon, I’m surprised so many of you are still taking the Covid jabs, it seems everyone I know that got the shots also has gotten Covid afterwards at some point, it’s obviously not a vaccine that works and shouldn’t be called one imo
