Bugger.....Covid Finally Got Me.

[mawnansmiff]

I thought I was doing rather well in not contracting Covid....I am super cautious regards who comes in my home as my respiratory nurse told me last year it could be the end of me

Well last night about 9pm I was watching TV when a throbbing headache suddenly appeared....closely followed by the shivers, then I started feeling a bit 'weird'.

Went to bed about midnight and was absolutely freezing.....on with the electric blanket....despite my skin feeling hot to the touch, I felt so cold. Last time I looked at the clock it was 6:10am, I'd had no sleep till then despite being dog tired. Even then, I was only napping, not really sleeping.

Now the headache has massively reduced but I'm shaking like a jelly, freezing cold (though temp is 36.8) and have a sort of cramp in my legs.

The last person in my home was the grocery deliveryman....last Monday!

I really hope I can get some sleep tonight....nothing worse than sleep deprivation & feeling ill at the same time.

Regards,

Jay.

Sorry to hear this Jay. I hope you feel better soon.

With what did your caution include?

Prayers for a quick recovery!

Nice work staying protected for so long. Getting the virus is virtually inevitable. Thank goodness most of the variants are mild this late in the disease's lifespan. Feel better soon.

Hope you have speedy recovery, Jay! ?

Godspeed on recovery.

Basically not letting people come inside. Obviously groceries were delivered but only to the landing....I even had my Covid jabs (3) just inside my door!

Regards,

Jay.

An unfortunate twenty-first century rite of passage, sir. Godspeed to you.

 

[elpfeife]

Sounds like you have more than a mild case. Hang in there!

 

[jaytex1969]

Well, this should be the end of COVID, then. Once the poor bug bites one as onery as you, it's only a matter of time before it passes.....

Eat you veggies and get well!

Jay-

All speed in a fine recovery.

And, yes, it really sucks when you're dog tired but still can't sleep.

Best wishes brother for a speedy recovery...

Prayers for s quick and full recovery.

Contracting Covid is most certainly inevitable, unless you quarantine yourself in a bunker from humanity, but why would you want to?! Hope yours is as mild as mine was my friend. Get well soon

 

[kcghost]

This is the damndest disease. Hope you feel better soon.

There's a good therapeutic FDA and CDC approved drug from Pfizer that is actually in surplus right now. Phone your pharmacy and see what hoops you have to jump through. You have to take it immediately after symptoms appear, like now. I think the drugstore could bring you a Covid test (if needed) and the prescription. It may be free, I don't know. If you have a good caretaker family member or friend, they may be able to do all the legwork. I'd check this out.

Because of multiple vulnerabilities, my wife and I have been ultra cautious, but every time I have to get a prescription or otherwise shop, I mask up in an N-95. It's all a wing and a prayer.

I 'thought' it was a respiratory virus(es), and I have had similar symptoms that seemed to result in an attack on all my ligaments and a ressurrection of every bone bruise, break or dislocation I've had over 74 yrs. I still have residual soreness/tenderness in a couple three tendons.
However, I never felt like I had a breathing problem. I actually believed it to be seasonal allergy that seems to have blossomed in my seniority but now I think it is/was omicron or one of its siblings.
Feel better soonest! I have better days and then feel as if it might be returning but it does respond to tylenol.

Sorry to hear that friend Jay. I wish you a speedy recovery...............
