Covid sucks

Best wishes as you recover.

I had it once when it first hit, and the variant hit our family a few weeks ago. My kids did a lot better with it than my wife and I. Incredible fatigue and muscle aches for days. I hope you start to get better and nothing lingers for you

Wishing you wellness (and more toys)!

I hope your are recovering well and quickly, ToyTalk.

I had COVID exactly a year ago. I know this because I was isolated and watched the Super Bowl by myself. However, I was texting with my buddies enough that it seems like I wasn't alone when I remember it all.

That was before the vaccine was widely available. It was out, but they were still prioritizing groups. I don't think I even ran a fever, BUT classic loss of smell and test said "YOU GOT IT". No cough, no runny nose, but I have never been so tired in all of my life and my food cravings reverted to "teenager mode". I ate Pepperoni Hot Pockets, Doritos, Oreos, pizza, Lucky Charms, etc and still lost two pounds! Sleeping all day, watching movies, and eating junk food without penalty was the furthest thing from the horror stories I know to be true and I am thankful that's all it was for me.

I got vaxxed in August (both rounds) and I think I got Omicron in December. I didn't bother testing because I am online schooling, in between jobs, and live alone....but I am pretty sure I had it. (I didn't test because I got dinged for $250 for Round 1 and the tests were not widely available on December 4th, 2021 like they are now). This round made me far sicker than I was on round one. Fever, cough, couldn't sleep for a week, but I was a functioning unit. Was nowhere close to one when I seemed to have fewer symptoms.

All that to say....COVID is weird and I hope we are almost done with it.

Thank you to everyone for your well wishes. This round has truly sucked for me. So much worse than when I got it the first time. I appreciate everyone sharing your stories. Believe it or not, they are helping me get better, simply knowing that I'm not standing in solidarity with how bad this round has affected me. As of today I am happy to report that the fever is now gone and I was able to sleep for a few hours last night. This is the upswing and I am thrilled because being so sick is simply exhausting. Still have no energy and can close my eyes on the drop of a dime. However, still can't stay asleep for very long. On the plus side, man have I ever caught up on my TV and movies. Even better is the amount of time I've been able to devote to playing with my toys.

Very, very sorry to hear :(

I had my infection mid December 2021; the beginning of the Omnicron phrase. My sinus felt like it was stuffed with cotton balls and my lungs were getting pneumonia like symptoms. Luckily the height of the infection ran only 12 hours and I started my recovery on the 13th hour. I am very grateful my body did not suffer any long term effects and I am nearly back to my routine exercise.

I wish for a speedy and FULL recovery for you.

I try anything I can do to not catch it --- i'm vaccinated and wear a mask at all times in public.

Even though it makes me crazy, I think not going out and doing ANYTHING is the best solution.

HATE bosses that think people need to be physically at work to properly interact with their co-workers.

Guys/Bosses, just because you hate your wives and will do ANYTHING to be away from them, you should not sacrifice your loyal workers lives.

I'm not being confrontational here, but what about all of the workers that do physical labor? They have to be at their jobs, working alongside their fellow coworkers...

Why should a white collar job get all the perks of staying home to work while their blue collar counterparts are slaving away in the trenches?

VERY true !!!

As a former union laborer construction worker I know exactly where you're coming from

Glad to hear that feeling better ToyTalk. Rest and enjoy being at home playing with you Megos.
