This reminds me

I need to take my hydroxy today

My Dad and I went to a Sept 2020 gun show and we both caught it. Dad lasted maybe two weeks, when I went into the unit to tell him he wasn't getting off vent, he was gone in less than 20 hours. I had no symptoms I can pin on, I was on a road trip and might have had just the tiniest "east side snots" but I normally get those when I leave western Montana for someplace not forested. Always takes a couple days for my head to adjust, this was totally expected, completely normal.
Did test positive on return from the trip, which is part of the reason the hospital let me in for one last debrief. I also got the J and J one-shot in May, no sides. Not concerned about myself, but can't get myself to put others at risk even if I apparently am not at risk.

Are your anti bodies better after getting the shot even though you already had covid and the strong anti - bodies?

That's an unfortunate turn of events. It's just as unfortunate knowing that having the vaccine is no guarantee that you won't infect another.

Glad you made it buddy

I just reread that and it might appear a little harsh at the end, but I assure you it was not meant as so. I just wanted to clear that up. My only point was that getting the vaccine is pretty much a guarantee of nothing, unfortunately.

My wife and I had covid last October.
dry cough, head ache followed by body aches and upset bowels
wife had a fever for 6 days, I stayed below 100 deg for a couple of days
Day later smell went away for me about a week, almost 6 months for my wife.
joints and body hurt till on the third day I went and split a bunch of firewood with a maul - a good sweat broke the fever and aches.

we were both taking zinc and vit D, B, C. Got an anti-viral brew from a naturopathic Dr that was nasty enough tasting to tell if taste went away, but seemed to help.
I have had pneumonia several times in the past but stayed clear lung wise.
Wish the Ivermectin information was out back then, had plenty on hand for the horses.

nasty bug - real bad for some
I hope for a speedy recovery for all who get it.
Not sure if the physical devastation to the country is worse than the mental devastation that has occurred.

My Daughter tested positive for Covid several months back, Last weekend she still could not handle the off taste of one of her favorite foods, Chicken breast, She says it tastes very metallic.....She had lost all sense of smell and taste for a bit, but that mostly returned.

I have had tinnitus since I was a teenager. It got about 50% worse for about 5 months after but has finally returned to normal. No other long term symptoms.

I'm a blood donor. Sometime between July 2020 (neg for antibodies) and January 2021 (positive for antibodies), I had covid. My best guess is that what I thought was my usual sinus infection (lots or green/yellow crud from the nose) was actually covid. I didn't lose taste or smell, temp was normal, no shortness of breath. My appetite was off for a few days and I lost about 5 lbs. but that was it. That was early November but ???

Prayers sent!!!

What dosage are you taking? I'm assuming I'm going to have to take some generic de-wormer from a feed store...

Slipped that into a serious discussion.
Thought I might be funny. Evidently only you get my humor.
Sorry for you!😁

Had it the second and third week of June. In a coma for 4 days and in ICU for 9. Could not walk after being released but working w/therapist has that fixed but can only walk short distances. Am on oxygen a couple of hours a day. I have no feeling in my thighs from my knees to my groin. Lost sense of taste but not smell. Dr. said it may take me a year to get back to normal. I've never been so weak and out of breath. The Covid I had is not for sissies. powdr

P.S. I could go on for another page or two about other things like nightmares and the drug they give you that totally paralyzes your body while they work on you. You can feel and hear a lot of things that are going on around you but cannot move any part of your body. Scarry huh. powdr

Had it, felt like a bad cold but I was tired and sore. Lost some taste but seem to be back to normal. Tinnitus also got worse for about a month, same as loss of taste.

As a career exec chef, this does concern me. I’ve been sick with cold-like symptoms a couple times since before the quarantine and once after. Never got tested. No idea if I’ve had it or not. Not getting the vax. Just keep on keeping on. Bills to pay etc, but that WOULD eff with my livelihood. The loss or change of taste thing.

I am now the guy who has had it 2x. The first i had loss of smell but no change in taste. This time, no loss of smell....but i get a bad after taste on most things i should enjoy.

Neither experience was worse than waking up after a days work with a stuffy head.

I had it and was in a really bad way for almost a month, lost sense of smell but taste was a weird one, every thing was to salty even if no salt was used metalic taste was there and everything tasted different. I am about 90% of where I was but can't seem to get that 10% back as far as enegy and a couple of other things, also my out look on life has changed a bit nothing drastic but I do look at a few things differently.

I think it ran through our house last December. We never got tested. Started with kids - they had headaches, fever, and nausea. I had it for a few days. Mostly just felt “off” and had a bad taste in my mouth - kinda like someone put a handful of dirt and plastic soda bottle pieces in your mouth and told you to chew it. Then my sense of taste went completely away for a couple of weeks before coming back slowly. No effects at all now.

GF and I both worked healthcare, both had the ‘vid last December, lost taste and smell, runny nose, felt tired, etc, etc.
Full recovery in a week and a half, 2 weeks.
Had Flu B about 4 years ago, 100% worse. And I’ve taken the flu vac yearly as well.

I work in a prison as a nurse, first of the year had 250 cases of the vid out of 550 inmates
