After 2 1/2 years, Covid has caught up with me. Vaxxed and boosted, experiencing mild symptoms.

Runny nose, scratchy throat and just feeling run down.

1. Hope you continue with the mild symptoms.

Very important to stay super very hydrated and to move around some. My nurse friend told me that fill up on soft foods, they had lots of liquid. She recommended cottage cheese, popsicles, ice cream, pudding, yogurt to go with the water and Gatoraid plus trying to walk 5 min. every hour or every other hour, walk as much as possible.

Are you on Plaxlovid? That seems to be a very good treatment.

Good luck!!

3. I just tested this morning. So far, I don't feel too bad. Cabinets are stocked with soups

and juices. Drinking lots of water and taking cold meds for symptoms. I have access to several delivery services, so anything I need, I can have delivered. I also have family less than 30 minutes away.

2. I think I had it last May

Cough, lots of phlegm and extreme fatigue. I took a Benadryl and went to bed for 9 hours. I woke up feeling good. I was vaxxed and boosted. Hope you get better soon.

[Arkansas Granny]

5. Thanks. I just hope I haven't infected anyone else. We had a family get together

this weekend, but we were outside most of the time. I've informed everyone so they can be aware.

12. Let's hope everybody's okay

26. Didn't test? Nt

4. Be well soon

Its everywhere! Thank goodness you've been ok until after vaccine and medication.

6. Hope the symptoms stay mild

They should. Hubby and I got COVID over Christmas, both of us vaxxed and single boosted at the time.

I had headcold symptoms, he had more mild flu-like. But we felt fine after a few days - except for lingering cough and fatigue which hung on for a bit longer.

Good luck!

7. My oldest son tested positive three+ weeks ago

The infection knocked him on his back for 4 days. He's incredibly healthy, strong and fit. He was double vaxxed but no boosters.

My husband and I have had the full retinue of shots. We managed to escape infection, this time at least.

Hope your experience remains mild. If so, you should be back on your feet quickly.

The vaccines are true lifesavers.

8. Be careful and see a doctor after it is over...I had mild symptoms and eight days later...

blood clots in my kidney and abdomen, covid pneumonia (still coughing), and A-fib...plus a heart murmur. My only symptom was a terrible pain in my left side (a blood clot in kidney). My daughter insisted that I go to the ER...thank God she did. I likely would have had a stroke or a bad heart attack had I not gone. I did have a mild heart attack after I arrived at the ER. I am recovering but it is rough...be careful.

[Arkansas Granny]

10. I'll keep that in mind.

13. Best wishes for a full recovery soon. Your daughter did great.

9. Hopefully, your symptoms will

Stay mild. Rest and get well soon!

11. Watch out for the rebound !!!

[Freddie]

14. Get Paxlovid if you qualify

I was really only sick for one day thanks to that stuff.

[Midnight Writer]

15. Good luck. Sounds like you are doing the right things.

An oximeter is useful. You can have trouble getting oxygenated without realizing it. If your oxygen levels drop, it's time to seek emergency care fast.

[ancianita]

16. So sorry to hear this. Hoping you recover with no lingering problems.

[LetMyPeopleVote]

17. Take care of yourself and be careful

20. Covid is not weaker, it's the humans that got stronger (immunity) against it.

19. Get on Paxlovid even if you are having mild symptoms now.

There is also an antibody injection that still works against Omicron.

[LAS14]

21. Do you know where you caught it? Are people still masking up in your area? Anyway....

... all the best! I hope your symptoms stay mild!

[Arkansas Granny]

25. Hardly anyone masks up anymore. The vaccination rate in my area is below 50%.

I just don't understand people. The simplest, most effective way to protect yourself and others, and they just can't be bothered.

[sinkingfeeling]

22. Get well soon.

[NickB79]

23. Good luck. It got me 3 weeks ago.

Fully vaxxed and boosted like you.

The worst part for me was the headache. My God, it felt like my head was going to explode.

Then I had a lingering cough and shortness of breath for another 2 weeks.

[Solomon]

24. Finally got me too, last week.

I'm double vaccinated and double boosted.

Took my last dose of paxlovid this afternoon. So far its been very mild and i'm so grateful for the vaccines.
