It finally happened.

chessylady — Sun, 18 Dec 2022 02:30:45 GMT

I was experencing fever, bad cough,runny nose since last night. I took a home covid test this morning and found out I have it. I am fully vaccinated and boosted. Tomorrow morning my provider will call and then send some paxlovid for me to take. I am drinking lots of water and quarantining. This post is not intended to start a big debate just providing my own experience.

@chessylady If you're like most of the vaccinated, you'll have a very mild case. I hope you make a speedy recovery and that this doesn't ruin your Christmas plans.

This is why I still wear a mask in public places.

@chessylady ,

I hope it doesn't last long and you feel better within a few days!

I still haven't gotten it but most everyone in my immediate family and other relatives have.

I don't know if your dr told you but I've heard and my cousin had this experience and others I know that paxlovid does help you feel better and then as if all better but then a few days later you feel bad again. That happened to President Biden too and seems to be common.

but then you get over it again.

So maybe don't worry if that happens. Feel better!

Wishing you a speedy recovery @chessylady. My neighbors are fully vaxxed-boosted & have covid for the 4th time. I'm not vaxxed & skipped the flu shot again & I'm fine, not a sniffle in 3 years. I read they're doing a study to find out why some don't get covid when they're exposed to it, that could help lots of people so hope they find an answer soon.

Some studies indicate that paxlovid may reduce the chances of getting long covid.I live alone and I am doing my best to stay healthy.

All the best to you for a speedy recovery and mild symptoms. Looking forward to your updates. And good with the extra volume fluid intake.

Sorry it finally got you! Since you are vaccinated and are getting a med, you will probably get a mild case. Here's to getting over it quickly!

I was just glad to have it, and put it behind me

@chessylady,

I still wear a mask all over the place.

@chessylady, I am sorry you are sick, but I do know you will be better soon. Wonderful to have a drug to help you get well.

Sometimes no matter what you do, stuff happens.

The President of Pfizer even got this!

I still mask even though it seems fruitless as 80% of other people are not masking anymore...I am fully vaccinated and boosted...I take epicore, zinc, medicinal mushrooms, and many other supplements for immune....only leave the house once a week.
