  • Off work with covid right now. My wife went to a funeral for her friends father, found out the friend had it. We tested her a couple days later, she was negative. However, she has a tendency to become a carrier and since I’m immunocompromised I caught it. Total time was about 4 days.

    The last time I had covid it almost killed me, I was in the hospital because I couldn’t breathe, then I got pneumonia. It was bad, so this time within hours of testing positive my doctor had paxlovid in my hands.

    It started with a sore throat, but unlike a normal sore throat nothing I took seemed to make it better, a day later I got a headache that lasted multiple days, I was alternating between freezing cold and hot sweats and I had trouble staying upright, so 2 days straight I was in bed. The paxlovid really works though, I’m on day 4 and it’s been reduced to a mild cold, doctor says I should be fine to go back to work Thursday. Last time I got covid I was off for 4 months, my lungs weren’t the same after the pneumonia and I had alot of long covid symptoms.
