(20,056 posts)All our immune systems are shot since we've been so careful the past 2.5+ years now. Almost every darn virus we meet now it's like is like it's for the first time.
I kept thinking I had Covid, but it was bronchitis. Had steroids for a week. I'm still not really back to normal.
Do you have an oximeter to check your oxygen levels?

Hope you feel better.
