Welp I’m finally off the train. Christmas Eve night I puked my brains out. Christmas day I laid in bed the entire day with a fever. Today I’m coughing, sore and achy. I figured I have the flu but I had one home test left. It was positive.
Dodge it for 3 years only to get it on Christmas Eve, fuck you universe.
You’re just helping us attain herd immunity.
This is interesting. My wife also had major stomach issues including vomiting. Maybe Im wrong but I dont remember this ever being a symptom of Covid. Has the newest variant introduced it as a symptom?
no some people have been like that always
Ok good to know, I never saw anything listing it as a symptom
Can you grind up adult Tylenol or Motrin in the right dose and give it to kids? Looks like gonna be getting through at least the winter with whatever we have on hand, just curious what the alternatives would be.
Hope Biden tweets soon about his new normal of no medicine for children.
Yeah round 1 all 3 in my family had mostly stomach issues.
Here’s some info. I’d imagine you would want to just use the plain stuff and not an extended release version or something like that.
You can, just be very careful if you’re dosing an infant.
Thank you both. Yes, luckily not an infant so should be a little less troublesome if it comes to it.
Back in the day you just gives em some Jack.
Question time. My youngest son is now also positive and he was hanging out with my eldest who is now isolating. Is it ok for my youngest and my wife to share space together since they are both positive with symptons
can’t think of a reason why not, they both have covid.
Yah I only slept in a different room from my wife when we were pozzed because sharing a bed when 1 person is sick is terrible let alone both. But yah whoever is pozzed can get loose together and should stay away from unpozzed people who would like to stay that way imo.
Wife just tested positive for covid after getting sick a few days after I did, which means I must have had it too. Both perfectly fine now and it didn’t feel like what I thought it would feel like, as it was relatively mild with no sore throat or cough, but there you go.
I’m coughing pretty bad now and can feel it in my lungs. Not sure if it’s just sore from coughing, or what, but deep breaths have a little discomfort. At what point should I seek treatment. First symptoms were 2 days ago.
Well if paxlovid is something you’d consider sooner is better than later.
Wife hasn’t been too sick but has lost smell/taste on day four. Hopefully that’s fleeting.
The sore throat that started on Thursday got worse over the weekend, and a bad cough joined it yesterday. Continued to test negative for covid every day. Last night the sore throat was probably the most painful I’ve ever had outside of times I’ve had NG tubes irritating it for several days. Woke up today and couldn’t talk. Had literally zero ability to speak.
I went to a Patient First urgent care since they can do all the testing, x-rays if needed, etc on site. Got there at 10am and was seen at 2pm. Lets just say they were a bit busy. Overheard one Dr say to another “is this giving you flashbacks yet?” I’m sure the holiday weekend is part of the problem with people waiting until after they pozz grandma before going to the Dr, but man it sure seems like we are in for a big wave of all kinds of sickness.
The good news is I tested negative for Covid, flu A/B, and strep. The bad news is I still feel like absolute fucking shit.
Yea this Omicron sore throat ain’t no joke.
Finally feel like I’m turning a corner. 3 full days in bed. Pretty cool that we have to live with this for the rest of our lives.
