Wow something’s going around
 

I haven’t been this sick years. In fact, I remember one time being this sick. Only got off the couch a few times to walk the dog and drink some chocolate milk

Weak and pain everywhere.

Better now, but I was pretty sick for 4-5 days after Christmas. Lungs still chunky.

Feel better. The week before Christmas I had a temp of 102, went to the Dr, tested negative for covid and the flu but the Dr thought my symptoms were definitely the flu, kept me out of work and prescribed meds. I had zero energy the first couple of days and no appetite either. I had some body aches and felt pretty much like junk for a week. Thank goodness we have been off work for 2 weeks for our winter shutdown because I have had good days where I will get some things done but then I have still had days where I an just tired and want to nap all day. Definitely a strange illness going around for sure.

That’s it. It sounds like what I have.

Knocked me out of commission for two days. By the third day, my younger one got it and he was out of commission for couple days but bounced back quickly. Me, I was weak and out of energy for another few days after. Gained my strength back just about 100% after that (been riding my bike) but this killer cough kept me from getting real rest at night. Its been three weeks, I can't seem to shake the cough. My wife and my older kid, both made of steel. Nothing.

I've been coughing since the day before Thanksgiving.

I was in New Zealand in October-November. Seemed like half the country was sick. Wife and I grabbed a case of Covid. Much better now. Lots and lots of sick people everywhere.

I was sick for what seemed like weeks. I got better just before Christmas but I've now relapsed.

Awful no energy feeling. Aches and pains. Loss of appetite. :(

Wife has been sick since New Year’s Day and unable to work. Never seen her stay home from work ever. Negative for Covid. Fever 6 days, constant cough. Somehow I am not sick yet. She going to urgent care this morning.

So…have you done a Covid test?

She did. Twice negative. I didn’t test myself. Ran out of tests. I was thinking she had Covid and maybe I did too but just without symptoms but since she tested negative twice, doesn’t seem she has it. We visited some friends with a 1 year old at new years who was coughing and the day before she brought an elderly neighbor some food who was very sick….im guessing she got something from one of them. Why I’m not sick is a mystery because working from home for 3 years, my immune system is probably not strong. I would assume if I were going to get sick I would see symptoms by now.

Her voice is also gone…talks in a whisper the last few days…..this has been sorta nice lol

I haven't had it yet...a few friends here have had what sounds similar to above.

I had my flu and pneumonia shot a couple months ago, but no covid shot.

got a cold or flu yesterday. Nyquil, Pedialyte (Gatorlyte is probably better but hard to find) and feeling a little better today. Doesn't feel like covid. Snowy day so staying in. The thing I like about being sick now is it's easy to lose a few Thanksgiving & Christmas pounds.

Shaun:

FYI: I've been getting my Gatorlyte from Amazon:

Gatorlyte Rapid Rehydration Electrolyte Beverage, Mixed Berry, 20oz Bottles (12 Pack)

Gatorlyte Rapid Rehydration Electrolyte Beverage, 3 Flavor Variety Pack, 20 Fl Oz (Pack of 12)

Showing both of the above products available and can be delivered to me tomorrow.....

Thanks Baz!

You are a bad man.

There's been a lot of it going around here in LA. People tell me it is some of the worst symptoms, mostly respiratory. I was reading that many are experiencing long recovery times and some blaming it as another symptom of "Long Covid".

My Wife showed me on The Weather Channel app that you can access a map that you can track the outbreak in your area, both A and B strains.

Yeah, I was sick for 6 weeks despite being triple vaccinated! My wife, who never gets sick, was sick for about 3 weeks- she did not get vaccinated this time around. I am 68 and have respiratory issues so this really hit me hard. I still believe, (no proof) this was China's plan to knock the USA down.

I wonder if it is RSV that has been going around.
I have all the shots. Let's hope that works.
No fun being sick.
