That sucks. I genuinely can’t fathom how I haven’t caught it yet. I got the vax right when it came out at the hospital/first responder time but with how much I travelled at the peak it’s amazing I’ve still avoided it. Every booster has kicked my ass so I really don’t think I had a silent case.
I am triple vaxed, but the last one was like during the previous winter, wanted to get a booster this winter too, but got the covid in early october, before they were available in my country, got a 39.5 C temp, sent me to the fucking floor for 2 days, I think you would notice if you got it, lol
I was a bit late on this booster because they were late getting it on base and then shifted all supplies overseas which made me go to local pharmacies which is a pain for active duty but I finally managed. I feel like I was higher risk at the beginning than now though, either way what I've been doing seems to have worked. Meanwhile my biochemist wife who works in pharma development is only a bit butthurt that she caught it before me despite absolutely being the subject matter expert and only going interacting with peers at work during the height of it.
COVID hit me the second time at my companies christmas party. I almost forgot that it is not a regular flu and covid kindly reminded me of that. I was down and laying in bed for a whole week with fever. Took me two weeks to feel almost back to normal. Got cough 2 to 3 weeks after I recovered. Still a weird illness with even more weird symptoms like skin rashes at fingers and toes. Get well soon.
I just want it has just random abilities that it decides to switch on and off depending on who it infects.
I didn't get any rashes or anything but on top of the standard flu-like symptoms I couldn't really remember things with any degree of reliability. And I found it very hard to think logically, I remember staring at my phone and I really could not work out for the life of me how to use it. I knew I should know how to use it but in the moment I couldn't work it out and I had to give up.
Haha only 3? I think I'm up to 5 or 6 at this point. I have a very bad immune system. First time I got it(pre vaccine) I was terribly ill for almost a month. Thanks to the vaccines and boosters, in combo with paxlovid, I usually only have 2-3 days of actively bad symptoms and then another week of mild cold-like symptoms.
I was feeling pretty bad a few days before Christmas. Couldn't breathe, anxiety level off the roof. I did a COVID test from the pharmacy which was negative, which in turn made me feel even more anxious about my health. A day after Christmas I was so bad I went to the hospital. They tested me there and in less than a minute it was a positive.
It was a pretty bad COVID, I got vaccinated about 2 years ago but this was the first time I actually got it. It went pretty pretty bad.
I am still suffering from long COVID symptoms, mostly issues with short breath etc. Currently lying down on the couch trying to get better. I really hope this ends soon, I need my life back.
I hope you don't have to go through the same thing. I really wish you a swift recovery.
