3rd round of Covid

[oktx]

Yours sounds like it's the Delta variety and not Omicron.

Maybe. I have severe asthma and figured it would be bad if I got it. I feel fine other than a head full of snot. Maybe the J&J shot helped.

Well I just got test results and I am on my 3rd round of Covid.. The first round was the worst, last December. I was really fatigued, had a headache, and it caused blood pressure issues for a few months.
Round 2 was in the summer, congestion, headache, and a cough.
Round 3 started with a headache, then drainage, a little mucus build up, and a slight fever (99.5). I first got a headache last Friday and figured that it was just a headache. Started getting drainage on Sunday, mucus was slightly colored on Monday and I felt pretty lousy, got on an antibiotic and steroid and the headache and fever went away. Now I have clear mucus and that is it. I have not missed a day of work for it, but will be out today. My company policy is five days from onset of symptoms or until symptom free. I should go back to work tomorrow. Lol.

P.S. I am not vaccinated, nor do I plan on it. Based on my reaction to the virus 3 separate times I would say I will have a pretty strong immunity soon. It is easier each time.

There was a guy at Archery Country that said he's been hit with COVID 3 times as well. Brutally bad luck for you guys.

No telling what the variant is for sure. The shot is definitely helping. Gives your body a good head start on reducing viral load and killing what's left of the virus. Glad you got that considering the severe asthma.

Lung comorbidities make it really tough to kick Covid. My mother is a testament to that that fact. Covid almost killed her last year because of her lung issues. Hope your back to 100% soon!

Thanks. I wouldn’t have taken it if it wasn’t for the asthma. I figured covid would kill me before the shot did. Lol!

If you got Covid without the shot it would've been a bumpy ride for sure.

Yep booster might help ? Depends how much mutation

[Dusty Britches]

I would be more curious how you are not? ....

I avoid people. Yes, I go to work, to the grocery store, archery club meetings, WalMart (even during the Christmas crowd season!), etc. I do not get within 3 feet of anyone. I normally do not wear gloves or a mask unless the store is crowded then I wear my mask with a HEPA filter. I also change my HEPA air filters every month in my house. I also wash my hands vigorously with soap for 20-30 seconds several times (bathroom times) throughout the day.

I also get plenty of sleep, lots of outdoor exercise/ activity, and eat my greens.

Oh, and I just remembered - I did go see my bro in the hospital when he had Covid and was on O2.

I'm not bragging and I'm fairly certain I will get it but I hope to be the last person on the planet that gets it. My 75 year old mother uses the same precautions and is of the same mindset as I am.

Pretty small chance for these types of transmission.

That's what I read too some time ago. My doc told me that, too.

[MBV77]

this. Also, you've been exposed 3 times?

Unless you stay holed up in a bunker you may get exposed everyday. I got it last August and have no clue where I got it. Nobody in my house or that I’m around daily at work had it at the time.

From my research of what's changed with the Spike Protein, which is what the vaccine is actually teaching your body to combat, I think the changes need to be structural to the vaccine. Not, just adding more. The booster would help with everything up through Delta.

But, Omicron made a huge unexpected leap in the mutation scale with it's Spike Protein(Vaccine and Natural Immunity protection) and Nucleocapsid(Natural Immunity protection) it's just too much for the current vaccine MRNA, and frankly too much for Natural Immunity, to handle.

Are people losing their smell/taste with the current variant?

Most I know have not

My treatment for Covid for the third time is sunshine and excercise. Pretty day and quarantined= nice walk.

I have allergies and Asthma but walk regularly (55-75 miles a week). I am not vaccinated and have been told by doctors that I should not get it because it has little effect on me. I bet if I tried I could find doctors that would disagree with that, but I will take my chances with healthy living.

Beta-Delta-now Omicron

Bet this is more common than people think

[glen]

Well guys sorry y’all are all getting the China Flu. I would imagine I will at some point. I don’t avoid anything. I’ve been in cars and boats with folks with the Rona. I’ve yet to get it that I know of. I do stay in good physical shape, take supplements, Ivermectin, and in sunlight at least 20 hours a week.

I know my time is coming and not looking forward to it but I’ll take it one day at a time and make the best of it. Figure I can still fish or maybe go crab in if I’m sick

[Duckologist]

I have.

How do you know which variant you have?

I don’t.
