Oh that sinus infection was the WORST. Just had Covid in December. It was awful.

It caught me in November, and I was just starting to feel smug about going so long without catching it. Vaxxed with 2 boosters. Fever, aches, and nausea for me, no cold or flu like symptoms, which really surprised me. I took the meds (name escapes me ATM) and it made me really nauseous. I stopped after the fourth day, just took Tylenolfor the aches. Lots of Pedialyte and soup, and sleep. Took about 2 weeks to get over it fully. Hope you shake it and feel better soon.

Was going to suggest this as well. Seems like a storage unit might be ideal.

Avoided for 3 years as a nurse and 5 Moderna shots. Last Sunday took my daughter to a special needs bowling game. Monday the organizer told me she is positive. 2 days later I got low fever, achy, and fatigued. Intermittent cough. No loss of taste or smell. Started Paxlovid Friday due my age and other issues. Feeling much better today but still have an occasional cough and some nasal congestion.
After working around it for so long my biggest concern is long term effects. I’ve seen too many with brain fog and neurological issues post-infection but those were all unvaccinated folks.

Thank you for the good suggestions and wishes-I have a Vitamin D issue-started taking it and in a couple weeks developed the worst insomnia-like my brain was hollowed out-googled Vitamin D and sleep issues, and sure enough, in some it disrupts circadian rhythms. I think if you live long enough you develop all kinds of strange things…

I was better for a week after I got it (for the first time) in February, then a week later...BAM. Rebound COVID. Just as fun as the first time but even more frustrating. So tired of this.

Extra Vitamin D and Rest. Your body is fighting, even if you feel up to it, just rest.

I’m pretty lucky, knock on wood-only got the flu once and couldn’t get off the floor-flu shot every year since. Hoping that Covid is mild for me too-living w an immuno-suppressed husband with COPD the vax was a no-brainer for us.

You are one of the lucky if your experience with covid wasn’t terrible. Many people are able to recover just fine, but millions are dead, many more are now disabled and struggling to cope with the after affects of contracting covid.

Rest! Eat healthy, drink plenty of water, take vitamin supplements, especially vitamin D. I ended up with a severe vitamin D deficiency. I never had any vitamin deficiencies before this! It’s like covid ravaged my body of vitamins. You may end up totally fine, depending on what variant you have. I hope you have a speedy recovery!

Man the fatigue was something else the first time I had it. I fell asleep in the 3 minutes I was on hold with the doctors office. Mono felt like a cakewalk in comparison.

- Have depression
- Be an introvert
- Be autistic with social anxiety (disclaimer: cannot receive from vaccines)
- Get all the vaccines, play it safe
- ???
- Profit
Haven't gotten COVID yet. And that is what happens when you rarely go out, and when you do go out, you go at night.

Talked to the on call doc about that this morning-no other risk factors health wise for me, except age-if my H shows symptoms, he may be a candidate if it’s compatible w his medications…

I got a sinus infection after COVID in November - and then a nasal staph infection on top of the sinus infection. Go easy on your nasal passages, when I had the ‘vid I blew my nose so much that my Dr. said I might have damaged the tissue in my nose. Saline rinses might help with the constant feeling of congestion.
