My wife has been sicker than sh|T with COVID

[Pepi]

She is going on day 4 and is getting up and moving around. Everyone, I've talked to says I have it also due to my seasonal allergy cough. Just took a test and NO FUCKING COVID She has had all her shots and I was told by my doctor not to get them due to some autoimmune diseases

[BroSlinger]

Sucks man. I hope she turns it around. Is this the weaker omicron variant? We all got that in January. We all recovered retry quickly. My wife had it the worst.

[GuitarBilly]

We all got COVID a few months ago but it was mild for everyone in the house. My mother-in-law was the strongest case because of her age but still nothing too bad.

Mojo sent to the wife Pepi!

my wife got it in January, some how I didn't but I did get it about a month ago.... wasn't too bad except for the sore throat, that shit was brutal AF I was on tramadol to kill the pain.... about 2 weeks after I was fully recovered my Mother in law and her housekeeper got it, MIL wasn't too bad despite being in her 70s, the housekeeper got the same sore throat I did and had a rough few days

[Pepi]

Damn ... I just looked at my test and now it shows two bars? It's been sitting there for over 1 hour. I feel fine and have a temp of 97.5. Wonder how trusting these test kits are?

the tests I've used give results with in 15-30 minutes and say to disregard any results outside of that time frame..... so you might still be in the clear. give it a day and do another if you're really worried

Best of luck and speedy recovery! I've still got a headache and some brain fog more than 2 years on.

If it’s over half an hour the reagent used reacts/degrades anyway so it it’s not an accurate read. Anything between fifteen minutes and the half hour mark is accurate.

[itchyfingers]

Yeah Pep, read within the window of time that it lists in the instructions (all brands are a little different). The rapid test is also not super accurate when you are coming down with it. Its like the viral load hasn't exceeded the threshold for triggering the Test line. I would wait 24 hours and test again.

Hope the wife is on the mend.

I started to feel sick yesterday and got a couple of COVID tests. Tested negative twice but I have body aches and my temperature is hovering between 99.8 and 101.5. So I definitely caught something. Probably just the flu. Still very annoying lol

Did your soon-to-be-ex-employers infect you?

nah I work from home man. I don't even know what my most of current co-workers look like lol

[Pepi]

I feel like I'm dead. This shit is bad news

[ajaxlepinski]

If you have any breathing difficulty, be sure to go to the emergency room right away. They have a new antiviral pill that is very effective.

[Pepi]

Oxygen is staying right at 94 -97. Just so tired and have a HELL of a headache

pray you don't get the sore throat I had.... that shit was rough...

[Pepi]

Yeah, got a sore throat also. Brutal. Fuck this motherfucking shit

[Pepi]

First day I almost feel human again.

[Dave]

On a positive note, this should get you out of traveling

[Rampage]

I hope both of you guys get to 100% soon. Covid blows ass; put both my wife and myself down hard and we are completely vaccinated in our 30s.

There are a ton of bugs going around right now. Covid numbers are up of course, flu is bad (our hospital even has some kids intubated from it) and rotavirus seems to be picking up.

[linthat22]

First day I almost feel human again.

Hopefully still on the up and up!

I remember battling Covid and one night I had a massive loose bowel movement and from that point moving forward, I was feeling WAY better. I hope your body is able to do that kind of purge to get your mojo back!

[Pepi]

My wife and I just finished up this year's garden. Took us around 1 week longer but she is done and looks pretty good. I call it 'OUR COVID Garden' I would work for a few and lay down on the grass The neighbor thought I was dead.
