DriftBusta Posted December 15, 2023 Share Posted December 15, 2023 I'll respect hospital policies if I have to go to one, but done with the masks in public. Fuck all that. 6 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gold Member EvilBird Posted December 15, 2023 Gold Member Share Posted December 15, 2023 Pretty sure we all had it last week also. I was achy as hell and had a 102 temp for about day and a half. Dry cough no phlegm , weird. If only I had gotten all 8 Boosters ..... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bontz Posted December 15, 2023 Share Posted December 15, 2023 Yeah, we've had a few people at work who've tested positive too. But the overall consensus is that it's not wiping them out like the 'Vid did 2 years ago (and no, don't tell me that's because of boosters .... 2 of the 3 people said no to the boosters). I've said it before and I'll say it again, prior to Covid - people would call this flu season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deephaven Posted December 15, 2023 Share Posted December 15, 2023 Just getting over it myself. Natural immunity did shit. Odd muscular pains which I hope are done as they make it really hard to sleep. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wife and my admin both had nasty colds, and have been coughing for at least a month now. Not covid though.

My buddy at work was dealing with the lingering crud too (close to 3 weeks). He finally bit the bullet and went to the doctor earlier this week and the doctor told him the crud was made worse due to his asthma (it wasn't COVID). They put him on a nebulizer and gave him a shot of Prednisone (sp?) and he said it was almost like flipping a switch. He still had a cough here and there, but nothing like he'd been dealing with. @Rigid1 - I hope the GF is back to feeling 100% soon 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think half our work building has it but everyone's powering through it for the most part and just spreading the joy. ....... This variant pales in comparison to the one I had two years ago . Or perhaps I still had some natural immunity. Anyone getting a booster because of this variant is out of their mind 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XCR1250 Posted December 15, 2023 Share Posted December 15, 2023 Wife had been sick for about 4-5 days, deep cough, running nose and headache, I talked her into going to the Doc, she tested positive, said to stay home for 5 more days, she's better now and heading back to work today. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I lift something a certain way, I get a weird pain in my right arm,... something I've never felt before. Started about a week before I had any other symptoms..... Still feel it but not quite as bad, seems to be subsiding. Real strange, almost nerve like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inhaler, cough meds, 2 weeks to a month for this shit to clear out completely, coughing up phlegm, taking chills, breaking sweats and coughing and coughing, felt like you are breathing thru a straw, breathing treatment & inhaler helped.
