Health Issues The Everything Covid 19 Thread

[silva]

My sister came home from Mexico on saturday and tested positive.on Monday. I was there when she got back and now my nose won't stop running. I don't have any tests that aren't expired. And my digital thermometer needs new batteries. I may be able to get a test kit this afternoon.

How are you now?
I woke up in the middle of the night with a terrible cough, it got to where it felt like heaving at one point. I even spit up a bit of blood, but not sure if it came from my nose or cough
I went back to sleep and woke up ok. Of course my doctor is out on friday or I;d have tried to get appt. The blood thing was scary, I tasted it

Yes, we need an update on @Lou.

@silva that's scary. If it happens again best to get checked out.

This.

Also, the nursing home where my dad lives is again having a Covid outbreak, which I discovered when I got there to visit him today. I had to wear an N95 mask to see him. So far, neither he nor his roommate has it, but I kept my mask on the whole time anyway. I didn't stay long, maybe 45 minutes, which I felt bad about, but I didn't really want to stay there too long, as I have company coming Sunday.

I think I overreacted. Was all worried for a half a day. took a Sudafed and the runny nose stopped and the next day I was fine. However I don't know what caused the runny nose. Maybe some kind of allergen I was exposed to.
Meanwhile my sister is pretty sick and started Paxlovid

I absolutely will! Now I'm all anxious at every feeling, like I don't think my knee is an indicator, and I did strain my arm...
I've been fine today, if anything happens tonight I will go to urgent care, there is a good one near me. I had x rays not that long ago there

You maybe had a very light version?

Sending healing thoughts to your sister and peace for you and her family.

Re my post on coughing blood--I've been fine, just had some real anxiety about it. Pollen has been quite high here, and I've been having a lot of post nasal drip, causing me to cough it up. I had that happen before and saw doc about it, turned out from my sinuses. So scary though

Glad yours turned out to be ok and I hope the Paxlovid helps your sister.

I got the vaccine this morning. It's been five hours and I'm starting to fade...fast. I hope it doesn't get too bad. I'm holding off on the Tylenol and trying not to nap because I want to be able to go to bed early tonight.

I have an appointment to get my shot tomorrow. I had a checkup yesterday and they are having a vaccination clinic at the office tomorrow so I said I might as well get it done. I didn't have any side effects other than a bit of a sore arm from the other shots so I hope this will be the same. I work early and the appointment is at 1:30 so if it makes me tired it's ok. I go to bed early anyway!

My job isn't doing flu/covid till the end of Oct. Seems a bit late
Oh, then there's the RSV vaccine! IDK....

 

[Lou]

got both covid and flu shots this morning. no waiting. super easy.

 

[silva]

Work had unopened bags of masks for the taking--so I did.
How strange to keep them all summer and now think to get rid of them! They have already posted they don't see a reason for any rule changes this year, meaning no need to test, no need to stay home

 

[SuicideBlonde]

I have covid and flu vax booked for tomorrow evening after work. I have Friday off just in case I need to rest.

 

[KLS52]

Took Tylenol and was in bed by 7 pm. Asleep by 7:02. Lol.
I was uncomfortable throughout the night but not any worse on other nights when I don't sleep well. My arm hurts bad and is radiating through my shoulder/neck on the right side. Headache. Eyes burn. All in all not terrible. But I won't be doing much today unless I make a miraculous recovery once I'm up. I woke up at 4 am. Fitbit says I slept 7 hrs and 12 minutes. Not too bad...although my recovery sleep was almost nonexistent. We shall see.

 

[Lou]

So I was fine till the middle of the night when my arm starting hurting. Couldn't fall asleep till I took a night time pain pill. Did get in some good sleep but woke up feeling pretty bad.

I didn't get the covid shot. I waited for 40 minutes only to be told they ran out of the covid vaccine. The nurse said they didn't know there would be so many people. There will be more clinics but I think I will just go to Publix like I did for the last one. I can make an appointment online.

 

[KLS52]

I'm finally coming out of it. Starting to feel better!!

 

[silva]

I'm going to get the covid vac soon, then get the flu shop at work late Oct. My son doesn't have ins, and the covid vac is super expensive! It's sick that they don't make it so everyone can get it--esp after the way they promote it, and had even been required!
I don't like not knowing what is giving me symptoms--I spaced them out last year
Oh, and Giant Eagle is giving a $5 grocery credit
