I finally stopped testing positive after about two and a half weeks. Yeah, I can safely leave the property. While I no longer test positive I still still feel like poop. Saw my PCP Wednesday for a regular appt. Talked to her about the Covid symptoms. She told me they will last THREE MONTHS! Part of me is disheartened over the idea of another three months of this shyte. On the other hand it gives me a sense of relief.
Oh, if one more person tells me they had Covid and it wasn't all that bad because they were over it in a few days I just might punch them in the nose. |

Really glad you've stopped testing positive, but I'm sorry you're still feeling awful. I have a friend who caught it in the first year of the pandemic and it turned into long Covid, Please keep looking after yourself.

I had covid three times. Out of those three two times I was sick a long time after. One of them was ok.
So even though covid itself was manageable, what came after was rough. Yes it went on for months. It was awful. It were secondary infections and stuff I kept getting because my body was weakened by covid When I hear people say that covid is just like a cold, I want to hit them too. No it’s not like that |

Thanks Divine. I needed to hear this today. I'm having a really rough day today. Walking to the barn (100') and back left me shaking. Came here to whine. Your reply lifted me up a bit.

Hi @lizardlady, if it makes you feel any better, I got Lyme Disease back in 1998 and I feel like I have Long Lyme. (Bring out the violins... LOL)
Anyway, I had COVID 2 years ago in October. But I had the same flu-like symptoms three months after AND, believe it or not, three months BEFORE! Try to take very good care of yourself -- don't push, avoid stress. __________________ Major Depressive Disorder; Sleep Apnea; possibly on the spectrum Nuvigil 50mg; Effexor 37.5mg Wellbutrin 100mg; meds for blood pressure & cholesterol |

I had COVID last week. I am much better now although I get tired easily. I do keep having dizzy/nauseous spells, mostly in the evening as well as headaches. It's weird and I don't know if it's because of the COVID or not. I will be glad when I am 100%. I act like I'm 100% but that's just because there's a lot going on and I don't have time to be sick. I did sleep a ton last night and then took a 3 hour nap this afternoon so hopefully that will help.
You can do your own research on this, especially because I forget where I read it, but you should wait about 3 months after having COVID to get the shot because you have antibodies in your system for those months. I'm going to get my flu shot soon and my COVID shot in late November. __________________ Bipolar 1, PTSD, GAD, OCD.

Beyond the Rainbow, thanks for mentioning waiting to get my Covid shot. CDC says wait three months.
