Mrs Lasher and I tested positive for COVID this morning.

[Lasher]

We used a home test kit. So far we're doing OK with mild symptoms. Sore throat, a little congestion.

[Nevilledog]

1. I hope you both feel better soon.

[bullimiami]

2. Me too. Today. About the same.

[Lasher]

8. I am hoping this will be mild for us and for you.

Nobody has offered antibodies so far.

[LisaL]

29. I don't think anybody is going to offer.

People who are high risk have to put in a lot of effort to find treatments.

[bullimiami]

42. Yes.

[sheshe2]

3. Be well.

Lot's of fluids and sleep.

[Lasher]

10. Mrs Lasher has been asleep all day.

I've been doing my share too, just not as much.

[sheshe2]

16. Rest.

Take care of you and the Mrs.

5. 20 minutes walk in the sun will supply a certain version of Vitamin D

[Lasher]

7. My daughter got me some vitamin D to take.

Hope that will do me some good.

32. It seems to have helped my allergy symptoms

though I'm cautious about making a direct attribution.

Also it took a while to be effective - like somewhere between weeks and months of daily use. But as long as I keep it up it continues to work if indeed it's that which is working.

One sees what one is ;looking for and often misses what one isn't. I didn't start with it for alllergies - I started because I was spending so much time indoors, even before the pandemic. And then one day I noticed that my allergic symptoms were dramatically reduced. So I'm watching for that now.

37. Open the windows to let airborne chemicals out.

….. unless your area is heavy in pollen.

[soldierant]

41. My "seasonal" allrgeis cover all seasons.

And chemicals too. So I pretty well don't have airborne chemicals indoors. And as red as my neighborhod is, I am safer without neighborhood air. At least while CoViD is still around.

[Tetrachloride]

36. Yes, do all. Milk, extra vitamin and the walk

Different versions of Vitamin D have their own roads.

[Tetrachloride]

39. Men should not overload on milk. Get your Vitamin D from a variety of sources

Heavy milk consumption can affect prostate.

Everything in moderation.

6. Take care -

get well soon!

[Karadeniz]

9. Dang! How did this happen?

[Lasher]

13. I have no idea where we got it.

We're not usually around anybody. But here in WV, people are not masking. I've tried to stay away from them.

[Karadeniz]

14. I'm almost always at home!

[Katcat]

34. Yes, same here.

We live in the southern part of WV and people are running around like nothing is happening. Son and DIL just got over covid but neither was vaccinated.

[mcar]

11. Good luck

That's how mine started. Cold-like symptoms got worse but it was bearable. Watch out for the fatigue, though. It hung on for several weeks after.

[Lasher]

18. We're supposed to isolate for 5 days.

I guess that's how long we will be contagious. We most likely have the Omicron variant. Thanks for sharing your experience. It helps me to know what to expect.

[mcar]

19. Hubby's and mine followed the omicron symptoms to the T

We had it at Christmas. Started just like you described. If you've ever had a relatively heavy head cold, you'll be used to it.

We ended up quarantining for about 8 days, then hubby went back to work masked. I stayed low for a while longer as I work from home. Again, the lingering fatigue - and post-nasal drip - were the most annoying aspects.

[liberal_mama]

40. You are likely still contagious at 5 days, but if you are an essential worker, they don't care if

you infect others as long as you're at work. My husband had to go back to work at 5 days, but he didn't test negative until day 14.

[Lasher]

44. Good idea.

i just decided to stay quarantined until I test clear.

[Solly Mack]

12. Wishing you both a speedy and full recovery!

[skylucy]

15. Sending positive vibes for a quick recovery.

[Hortensis]

17. Hope you guys and the Bullimiamis are all fine soon.

[Skittles]

20. it happened to a vaccinated coworker of mine

she said it felt like a very bad cold.....when she was tested again a week later it still showed positive.......a week after that she tested negative....this gal is obese and has diabetes.....I shudder to think how it would have been if she had not got the shots

[Lasher]

30. Mrs Lasher and I are both double vaxxed and boosted.

So here's hoping for mild symptoms all the way.

[Kaleva]

21. Hoping the best for the both of you!

[MLAA]

22. A friend recently had it and her Primary Dr recommending higher doses of Vitamin D, C and Zinc

[Lasher]

25. Today my daughter got me all 3 of those to take.

Hope it works.

[MLAA]

26. Fingers crossed that you and Mrs L recovery quickly!

[blogslug]

23. I hope you both get better very soon

24. I had it over Christmas. It was like a nasty cold.

Burning eyes was my worst symptom.

[Lasher]

27. I woke up early this morning with my right side in pain.

It was like I'd pulled all the muscles there. That's when I decided to take a home COVID test.

[LeftInTX]

35. I thought mine was only a cold, but long story short...89 yo mother in law was diagnosed

So, we took tests.

I was kinda surprised I had it.

I was also surprised how well I did. I expected to at least get nasty bronchitis, because 70% of my colds devolve into bronchitis....
But, with the exception of burning eyes, it was almost nothing.

I'm thinking Omricon is being spread by asymptomatic people or people who think they have allergies.

[niyad]

28. Sending vibes for a speedy and complete recovery for you both.

[rustysgurl]

31. Hope you both feel better soon n/t

[LoisB]

33. I hope the symptoms don't go beyond that and that you both fully recover quickly.

[Tetrachloride]

38. My chief advisor told me to cancel travel

It had been a neo-emergency travel to assist a friend who has Covid.

Instead, a “nurse” was hired.

I am medium risk.

[vercetti2021]

43. Feel better

Glad it's super mild
