Dangit! And I just got back to work! I just put in a full week. So far it has been a respretory coughing and aching all over. Like a bad cold.
I feel like I have been jerked through a small knothole backward!

I had COVID last year for 10 days I did not eat. Good thing I lost 24 pounds.
AND ER nurse friend told me NOT to come to the hospital. Stay Home,. Move around as much as you can, drink fluids, and ZINC.
Whatever you do, don't lay flat on your back! Which I never do anyway, due to reflux!
Hang tuff!

So far, it has been nothing but a bad cold with a complete head to toe 6 hour duration body ache and upper chest congestion. Vicks 44 and a little Chloraseptic spray every time I need to soothe the throat.

The aches are gone and the 44 stuff puts me to sleep and works decongesting me while I'm out. My voice has a nice lower bass tone due to the constant coughing.

One more day of rest and I probably have this whooped. But I have 5 to 10 days of asylum and cannot work due to the infectious nature of the virus because some Chinese dude suckin on a bat's private parts.

Yeah I never lie flat and I eat Zinc and D3 and B12 every day. It keeps me going.

Might I suggest getting some muccinex (guaifensin 1200mg) extended release to help loosen the mucus in the lungs to make coughs more productive so it doesn't turn into pneumonia. It really helps. Don't forget the chicken noodle soup too.

Same here, ended up being a bad case of allergies, Flonase took care of it.

Went with some friends last week to Bricktown Comedy Club last Saturday night. Developed a nagging cough on Monday. Woke up Tuesday with body aches, fever, congestion, and that stupid cough. Tested negative for covid with at home test. I went to the DR Wednesday morning and got swabbed for covid, flu, and strep. I tested neg for covid and strep and positive for FLu A. Been taking Coricidin Cold and flu(for peeps with high blood pressure), elderberry syrup and Ibuprofen 800 and a ton of water. Feeling better despite the nagging cough. I don't remember the last time I had the flu. There sure were a lot of folk at the Dr.s getting the same testing done though.

Was it a no smoking venue? Even after smoking for 20 years I cannot stand to be in a bar with smoking allowed. It turns my stomach.

RSV and Human Metapneumovirus too, although flu A is the most common for us.

Pretty simple.
If you can still taste and smell, you are pregnant
