Honestly, I thought I was probably immune at this point.I mean sure, I got the first vaccine back and the first booster in 2021 but after that nothing. Managed to avoid getting after my wife and son went through it. I remember finishing his half eaten apple the day before he tested positive!
Well finally happened, holy shit no joke. First day I was basically in the fetal position with a 40° fever in full sweatsuit and blanket just writhing. Didn’t sleep much for like 30 hours. Things felt a lot better day 2 until the blocked nose and everything starting tasting super bland. Most surprising almost no cough for me.
It’s now day 3 and I feel almost fully recovered, I assume 1 or 2 more days and I’ll be fine. Sort of relieved to get it over with but really don’t want to go through that again. Just in case there are others out there like me 3.5 years COVID free, we are probably more lucky than immune.
Anyway, don’t know why I posted this other than the fact I’m starved for attention after isolating for 3 days in my room.
We were pretty careful as well, and I didn’t get it until last year. I went to visit a friend, and she was sick when I arrived, passed it on to me. Her symptoms were mild, mine were fucking insane. I got an eyelid infection during it, and I was freaking out thinking it was eye herpies, lol.
I think the most shocking thing to me was how exhausted I felt afterwards. It took a good month after I was negative to feel like I wasn’t out of breath just walking to the kitchen or bathroom, but luckily I recovered quickly and had no other side effects.
