After ducking this thing for 30 months I tested positive on Sunday, a day after returning home from Ireland. It has been a rough week. I'm grateful to report that I did not lose taste or smell. The fever and especially the headache were something else, brutal. I had four Pfizer shots over 18 months and I am glad I didn't have to deal with these things without that prepared defense. I'm feeling OK all things considered. But ouch, that hurt.

Get better BBE! You're right - a much better time to come down with it. I'd connect with a doctor asap as well, paxlovid I think needs to be administered fairly quickly after a confirmed case if you want to try to it.

You seem really unlucky as pretty much everyone I know now gets a mild strain or effect, esp. after being well vaxed. Be good to yourself, man!

I kind of feel lucky. It was a two/three day event and I can still taste my soup.

I did talk to my Doc. Since it didn't really affect my breathing that it was up to me. I wasn't looking to leave the house until this passed anyway so I skipped it. I just left the house for the first time and did a 3.5 brisk walk. I'm a little more fatigued from that than I would have liked but over all each days is better than the last. I tested negative this morning.

PS If you want to drop 5 pounds in 3 days I have a great method.

Bah, a good run of food-poisoning can easily double that, plus leave you with a sexy gray pallor.

90,000 Garth Brooks fans would definitely be enough to make anyone ill!

Based on the little I know I tend to agree. Music is horrible but he seems to be a decent enough person. He's no Toby Keith to be sure.

He might have taken the same shot at himself. He seems to be self aware.

Covid negative and 11 days removed from my positive test. Covid is an excellent weight loss tool to trim down before those holiday parties. I never lost taste or smell but my appetite was sated on a single meal daily for the first five days. Five or six days in I started to bounce back and had one of those day where I must have taken in 4000 calories. I had a mountain of Thai food delivered and just housed it like a stray dog. That said, I am still feeling it. It's hard to put a finger on it. I haven't had a drop to drink since I left Dublin yet I feel like I do when I've been overdoing it. I'm sort of stiff and achy. I also feel sort of dehydrated with the tight muscles despite drinking 5-6 pints daily alone with a couple of cups of tea. Feeling better every day but I'm not there yet. I'm grateful I had four shots in me.
