Covid-19 check in

I had it about 3 weeks ago. Lasted a little over a week.

Shitty for 2-3 days then a long taper. Feel fine now, still can’t quite smell right.

Had a horrible sinus issue/burning chest feeling. General run down feeling. Sore muscles, major lack of energy, could do things but got winded quickly. Even managed to shovel some snow…but owee that was a mistake haha.

Double vaccinated, had an appointment for the booster but ended up with COVID instead lol. Mildy ironic.

My dad got it around the same time (unvaccinated) and he got sick as shit for like 2 weeks and still doesn’t feel right. He is also overweight with preexisting conditions and was in hospital for a whole day but improved enough to leave. Coulda just as easily gone south though.

It can happen to you, careful y’all. Don’t play games with your life over a stupid virus.

No improvement. I think I’m actually worse off, tbh.

Currently going through a battery of tests to exclude a less vague diagnosis than “long covid”. Pulmonary function tests, stress echo cardiogram, high resolution CT scans, bloodwork, etc.

Stay safe out there, everyone! :smiley:

I just lost my step brother to Covid. He and his wife both got sick, and he ended up having to go the hospital. Eventually, he needed to be intubated, and died shortly after.

I’m not sure about their vaccination choices and I haven’t seen him in years. He was overweight, I heard, but I had seen that change in him earlier. So sad that he had to leave so early.

RIP Phil … :motorcycle: :small_airplane: :v:

I’m very sorry to hear that. My condolences.

Even though I had a pretty bad case (probably should have been in the hospital, tbh), I am very fortunate to not have had anyone close to me die of this shit.

Best wishes to you and those you care about.

Got hit by covid pretty hard. High fever, headache, runny nose, cough, incredibly sore throat, very tired.

3 pfizer doses… I expected milder symptoms with omicron. :mask: :face_with_monocle:

Probably rates in my top3 or even top1 compared to influenza.

Glad to see you back @Howard.Crane. Sorry to hear that progress has been slow with your recovery. Hopefully the diagnostics can give you some more specific treatment options.

Hope to see you around on the forum, even if you’re not growing or smoking right now you’ve always got us potheads to talk to.
