Wanted to drop this here - good news!

Hey rocy, how are you feeling? Have you shaken this thing yet?

Yes I am finally over it I do believe. Thanks for asking. I would think it was gone then I had a fever again and a headache. I am finally not tired all the time.

 

[VolNExile]

Well, my turn:


tl;dr

Got it, don’t know how, very mild, lasted less than four days, over it, grateful.

I had something like a sinus infection, last Fri and Sat, but the test I used like that was neg.

How much was the home test kit? I was kicking myself for not getting the Vax. But I think everyone will get covid eventually. I am glad you are okay.

What prompted you to use the test?

What prompted you to use the test?

They were made in China...

What prompted you to use the test?

curious & didnt want to go to work with symptoms if I still had any Sunday

 

[508mikey]

They wouldnt even have arrived in the mail yet if they were -- still be in a container off the California bay

I’m sorry, I meant that question for @VolNExile

 

[82_VOL_83]

What prompted you to use the test?

All I had was a bad sinus infection. No fever or anything in my chest.

 

[VolNExile]

What prompted you to use the test?

I was sitting next to my daughter and the baby, and she said I probably ought to.

We’re all going to Holden Beach next Friday, so we were in the “what if someone gets sick” state.

Yep, these came in the mail about 10 days ago.

Ok, was wondering if you had symptoms or was just doing a cursory check. Glad you’re not sick.

 

[VolNExile]

Exactly what I had. I thought.

Our best guess is that Hubs caught in on the flights home on Delta. Both planes packed to the gills. He hardly goes anywhere. I do shopping, etc.

FWIW:

His symptoms: allergy-type symptoms and muscle aches after raking a ton of moldy leaves, started last Monday evening, mostly petered out by last weekend, but his asthma got triggered.

My symptoms (about six days after he started): itchy roof of mouth (how my colds always start), then Niagara Nose (one Kleenex every two minutes), sneezing, occasional cough (especially at night when lying down) - cough did get worse but just to “annoying” level, mainly at night, eventually mild sore throat on one side, like with sinus drainage.
- no fever
- no headache
- no fatigue
- no muscle soreness
- no loss of sense of smell or taste
I truly thought it was a cold.

Itchy roof of mouth started Saturday night; full-blown cold symptoms Sunday, Monday, Tuesday (when I tested), yesterday until 4 in the afternoon. And then it. just. stopped. It all stopped. Head was clear, breathing through nose (yay), nose dried up (double yay), no cough. I’ve never experienced an illness ending so suddenly. Almost 24 hours later, I’m still fine, although still contagious. I have to credit the combination of vaccinations/ booster with the quick+mild Omicron variant.

Hugely relieved. By the time I tested, I had just had the cold-type symptoms, so I didn’t think it was likely that it would get bad, but still.

Right, none of the symptoms that would make me think actually Covid. Just upper respiratory crap. Whew

 

[VolNExile]

The cough was just from the runny nose bit. I’ve had pneumonia before, and this cough was completely different. Just the drips.

Thanks, hman.

Thanks, everyone.

It does sort of feel like the other shoe has dropped. Kind of a relief to get it over, since it was fortunately so mild.

It's a scary disease you tell people you have it and everyone tells you a death story now. It's like chit I hope I don't get a blood clot or put on a vent.

It’s so all over the map. It’s hard not to be jittery.

I remember the roof of mouth thing. I knew I had the Vid when I lost taste and smell. It has come back 100% just this week. Flonase is a wonder drug.

I still haven’t regained my smell or taste completely.
