Told the wife. She says you need to stay away from me.
I think I agreed too quickly.

So I was exposed to COVID at work
- Thread starter larsIU
- Start date
I actually like sleeping on the couch. It's like camping.
I got covid a month ago. Basically, as long as I wasn't intubated I was fine. That was my baseline.
So I only got:
1. extreme fatigue (going to the bathroom was more tiring than a 3hrs bike ride) For like 10days.
2. dizziness/spells where I had to hold on to something whenever I got off the couch. Literally nearly passed out a dozen times during a 10 days period.
3. Throbbing 24/7 headaches for like a week.
4. Sore, swollen knees which made walking very difficult for like 2 days
5. Low O2 count. high 80% range for like a week
6. Very dry skin -- everywhere. Clearing away
7. Eczema in large spots (still have in my posterior)
8. Irregular heartbeats -- still having it. I would be on the elliptical -- steady rate/pace exercise and my heart rate can swing 20+ beats within a minute even though I am going at the same pace on the machine. But apparently, this is one of the long covid effects.
9. Low libido.
So as long as I didn't need to be intubated, I would consider myself lucky. Or knock your head against the edge of something sharp like a table and cause dainbramage, then ....everything else you had to ride it out.
Took headache pills and flu meds only.
I only like had a low-grade fever for like 36hrs. (2-3degrees above my normal.)

We are expecting a new wave to hit our shores in July/August. The South Africa strain.
But hopefully its not too different to Delta and I will have most of the antibodies in me already to minimise it in case I am re-infected.
Its compulsory masking whenever u leave your home or in an enclosed space here since day 1.
I must have picked it up at restaurant.
That’s actually a pretty severe case for a younger, athletic, fully vaxxed person. Glad you’re doing better.
In fact my mum told me recently that she thought I was going to due of AIDS or something, based on my history. Or covid and karma was going to get me! She must have called like every day for nearly a month, post-covid to check if I was still alive!
Actually I have been chopping off my 'plates' or getting dumped the past six months. I am planning on moving up north, Penang Malaysia by the end of the year.
I didn't want any last minute drama like banging or damaging on my door, yelling obscenities just before I leave.
Haha. Too old for this sort of drama nowadays. I had one throw tea cups at me in the past. Another yelling karma will get me. 😰
Wow. The deep pockets. Always go after the deep pockets.
Sign of the times. Nobody wants to just take responsibility for their own actions. Blame someone else and just monetise it instead.

My wife is down with Covid right now. We all went to Disney last week and now 3 of our traveling party has come down with it. But not me! I already had it so I’m guessing natural immunity is doing it’s thing because we had some, ahem, pretty close contact the night before she got sick and I’m still 100%.
I had it way back in Sept '20, but had a milder case than you it sounds like. I had many of the same symptoms, just shorter duration.... except for the fatigue. I had a bad headache for a couple days and spent the first 3 days in bed pretty much, but after that I started returning to "normal" activities as far as around the house and office. My problem was each evening after dinner, I'd just crash, often in bed by 8pm, and I didn't return to working out for about 6 weeks.
My sister, BIL and my two nieces just got it a couple of weeks ago. Ironically the parents went to Portugal for a 10day biking tour (75miles per day) and then the two kids flew over.
Someone picked it up and spread it to everyone.
Their symptoms weren't bad -- fluish.
In theory, as the virus keeps mutating they get weaker.
But I also suspected that my sister & BIL had it milder because they took their 2nd booster before flying over. (I only had one booster -- and won't need another, even though its being offered to everyone here -- probably till Sept. Having just recovered I have near max antibodies count. So I will wait till it wanes, like 3 months after getting it before I get the 2nd booster.
Seriously they had some sore throat, slight temp and sinus issues. That was it.
I had ensalada symptoms over the 10 days. And I suspect my antibodies count was pretty low since I got my booster back in Nov 2021. I must have set bad expectations for them. Now they are almost delirious -- Covid, Meh!!
She’s had flu symptoms and felt quite cruddy for 4 days now. Nightly fevers the last 3 nights and coughing her head off. Me and the kids are still completely fine. This crazy thing is so weird.
I had it way before vaccines were out and felt fortunate it was mild. I was in pretty good health though and I feel like it really exploits vunerabilities in your body. I felt like my bad knee had extra swelling for instance. But, I never got a cough or had breathing problems and I think that is also something that can hit you harder. The only symptoms for me that hung on for more than a few days was really just the exhaustion, and that lasted for about 5-6 weeks. I didn't start working out again for about 6 weeks because of that.
Yeah, I'm in wait and see mode. It's been exceptionally mild other than 1 day. No congestion or any of that shit either. Maybe I'll stay #blessed.
That's either TMI or NEI.
Anything in a two-piece will help determine.
I had a positive attitude going into this covid thing -- as long as I didn't get intubated, everything's a doodle then.
Tomorrow is my birthday and naturally, my much, much better half would come down with covid. This is her second go around with it. I've had it two times already so I'm hopefully out of the woods here (plus have been vaxed although no boosters).
We've got DMB tickets in a couple weeks so hopefully she's feeling better by then. So far it's body aches and what she describes as headaches just short of migraines. She never fully got back her taste and smell so we'll see what happens this time.

As the Virus Evolves, COVID-19 Reinfections Are Going to Keep Happening
Here's what to know
Boosters at this point only serve to minimise the severity of the symptoms if we want to apply an endemic approach.

Yeah, I know.
I was supposed to get a booster at the beginning of the year and that's when I got sick the second time. Haven't got around to getting it honestly. Truth be told, deathly afraid of needles. Would rather pull out a tooth without anesthesia, it's that bad.
I'll do it soon here, I guess.
I would be a prime example. I got my booster like Nov 2021.
My sister & family just got covid like 2weeks ago. (I got mine like 5-6 weeks ago.)
I got a whole range of stuff for like 10 days. Barely moved off my couch for that duration. They barely got something no more than a manflu.
They had their 2nd booster right before they went on their holidays.
I do feel like it's getting less severe overall. I feel like I know more people who have come down with it in the last 3-4 months, but haven't heard of anyone I know or am acquainted with that has died in that period. Hopefully it stays on that course.
At this point, if the stats are right, 99.7% of people who have been admitted into ICU are the unjabbed ones.
The only thing I have lingering, 3-4 weeks on is the weird irregular heart rate. I wear my sports watch whenever I exercise... helps me keep track and fight boredom esp the steady rate of exercise like an elliptical.
So 3-4weeks after my recovery my heart rate can be spiking like 20+ pulses higher despite going the same pace on the machine. Goes up then it gradually falls back.
I have not noticed any changes or modulation of the spikes yet. But apparently Messi the footballer had similar issues.
I will give it another month or so and if it doesn't improve then I might see a doc.
There's no question the Omicron variant is far less severe than original recipe or the more deadly Delta. It's also spread far more easily, which is why it has supplanted all the previous variants.
Yeah, I've heard the heart rate thing is a problem for guys with small penises. Apparently the blood I'm storing down there helps keep mine regulated. Can't remember where I saw that study. Good luck!
Tbh there was quite a bit of shrinkage when I was sick. I spent hours googling to see if this was a permanent symptom.
Thanks Jesus, Buddha, and Mohammed that there weren't any studies indicating such affliction. I need to save what efficient usage I have left -- otherwise I will have to resort to drugging the bitches next.
Did you not have access to Ivermectin?
Neighbor woke up sick...within a few hours, had temp of 103+....
Took 36mg. Ivermectin, temp dropped like a rock within 3-4 hours....36mg. daily for 4 days....no Flu ....
Scripts are readily available if you know who to talk to....
Nah. my baseline was intubation.
So anything less, I just popped aspirins and flu meds at night. Rode it out for 10 days
We have Paxlovid which is what my sister suggested. But didn't bother either.
Yeah, in some cases we're carrying a canary in a a coal mine down there if we just pay attention. With all the ED commercials, etc... and my aging, i was worried about that after I got separated and there was no wood in the tree for several weeks. Talked to my Doctor and he said it was probably stress. Once I got that under control, it was returned to normal operation, and I was thankful he hadn't just given me a 'scrip.
Something else I'm convinced of was that when I got a vasectomy it "changed" things down there too. Not functionally really, but changed the way an O is achieved and "feels". Became much harder for me to get there from a BJ after vasectomy and I'm convinced that was the culprit. I think they try and bury negative results like that from any medical procedure or scrip.
