I felt like long Covid was loosening its grip on me after two years.
Annnd I have Covid again. Totally vaccinated, boosted and bivalented with an rx for Paxlovid and cough tablets that I can pick up now. So I am hoping this won't be as rough. And since I now know I have hyponatremia, I know to keep my electrolytes topped up. I also have a pulse oximeter so I can track.
I felt really bad with body aches early Sunday and am coughing. The body aches eased up for today but I tested as a precaution and it was clearly positive. So I tested again because that makes Covid go away, right? It, my friends, does not.
I'm hopeful I didn't expose anyone but I probably did given I saw my favorite uncle on Thursday and we had a Celebration of Life for my uncle on another side of my family on Saturday. The CoL was mostly outside so I'm hoping that mitigated some transmission.
Oh, crap, Cass, I'm sorry to hear that. I hope it is mild and of short duration.
Oh no, Cass, I'm so sorry to hear that!
Oh, Cass, I'm sorry. I hope that all your hard won knowledge will help you get through this bout with less pain and suffering than previous.
This bout will be much easier, I am sure. We know more, have vaccines now and treatment.
One thing that was amazing is that within 10 minutes of calling my Dr office, I was on a FaceTime appt with my good NP with rx sent to the pharmacy.
{{Cass}} I am sorry. May it be brief.
Cass, that sucks! I hop you have an easy recovery and that it doesn't fuck with you in terms of prolonged symptoms. I think if you get Covid while you have long Covid (or long Covid is easing up), you should automatically be exempted from all current and future long Covid bullshit. Like when you multiply 2 negative numbers and it becomes a positive number.
Cass I hope you have a quick recovery.
Dana I have been taking a steroid but I didn't take it today and I had the flushing again so based on that the pharmacists didn't think it was the steroid. Although I am going to take the steroid tomorrow because I still feel fluid in my ear.
Steph, my sleep has been really rough lately so I don't really want to take something that will make me sleep all day or most of the day and then stay up all night. So I'll try the aspirin before the antibiotic (I need to go do that now) and then if it doesn't help I'll try the Benadryl tomorrow. We don't have Benadryl otherwise I'd try that tonight.
