Not quite.
It is kicking our arses here. Wife brought it home.
She says she thought it was allergies so decided to take no precautions. (stinking nurses) Five days later, diagnosed with Strep, THEN finally takes a C19 test... positive, seven days in. I am already screwed.
Was in Urgent Care yesterday but thinking ER today. The strep is out of control. NOTHING phases the pain... nothing! Prescription gargle ( numbing) did nothing, 800 mg IBu... nothing, Aleve + Tylenol... no help. Hydrocodone... no help. Hydrocodone plus 800 IBU... no relief! Can't believe this pain from sore throat/ears, unbearable.

I'd post the Florida "Man" light photo, but I know how you feel about him.

Hope she feels better soon.

Maybe due to our having had it twice?

Second go-round was basically one bad day, lowgrade temp, lethargic for a couple of days.
Didn't even miss any work.

If you've got strep they should have you on antibiotics. It's nothing to be screwing around with. My mom got rheumatic fever from strep and went through puberty in bed (a year). Ended up getting two heart valves replaced (one twice) and she still ended up dying from it a few months ago. Heart damage made her pass out and hit her head. Cumiden levels were sky high and she died from blood on her brain.

I was waiting to see how my own case came out before posting here.

Two Pfizer shots and two boosters and I still got the Wu Flu last week, first time I knew for me. Came on sudden, vaguely unwell Tues evening, cough, sore throat, snuffles, congestion the following morning.

Anyhoo, this is what a positive home test looks like, those two lines....

[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]

Felt low, mostly slept it off the next three days. Felt fine after that.

The worst part was staying in the house for five days. I can’t remember staying here even one day before that. Bad timing too, me and the grandkid had been planning to see Top Gun.

A funny part was my elderly Filipino ex mother in law, an excellent cook, sent over a whole gallon of homemade chicken soup 🙂

Last day of mask-wearing while out and about today.

No I don’t think masks work, I’m just following CDC guidelines, in case anyone accuses me of getting them sick.

First round knocked my dick in the dirt for a few days. Coughing up bloody sputum. Steroid puffer thing cleared that up quick.
Last time it was more annoying than anything. About like a cold and a few days of lethargy.

Step infections suck azz. I’d take Covid over strep 10 outta 10.

I just went about my business with the last bout. If I gave someone the Covid cold, oh well.

Sorry to hear this. Severe throat pain is incapacitating. If you end up in the ER or clinic again ask for an IV dose of Toradol. It’s a non-narcotic (no drowsiness, addiction potential) very powerful pain reliever and will probably give you some or, maybe, almost complete relief.

Bristoe,

Best thing for an ailing woman is a shot of peniscillian.
At least one of you should feel better!😎





Hope she gets better quick.

Just back from the drug store,..Zinc, D3, C, Prilosec and saline solution nasal spray. The Doc is calling in an anti Viral drug prescription for her, also. I'll be back out to get that in a while.

My body is so polluted with all the drugs the Doc has me on, I don't think the Covid virus could handle it.

Looks like I'm going to find out.

I have to tale a big hit of this stuff every day. Evidently, it'll kill about anything. It'll kill *you* if you take very much of it.
