I think I may have Covid.

Felt rough after the very first vaccine. No problems since.

 

[moparker]

Horse paste?

The problem with Covid is it affects everyone different. I had it in January. Sick as hell. Yes, all vaccinated and boosted. I never lost taste or smell. A buddy at work was totally asymptomatic. The previous owner of my Duster died from it. I’ve had vertigo symptoms since march. They think it’s a form of long covid. If you’re not very sick good for you. Test yourself and make sure you have it. That way you won’t give it to someone that may get very ill and die. Hope you don’t have it.

I was just discussing this with my doctor during my semi-annual check up. My wife and I both had all the shots, and finally got it last year over the holidays. I posted about this before, she got really sick, took almost a month to shake it. I had the symptoms of a moderate cold for four days. I worked with two guys whose wives died from it when the virus first appeared. Wife of our fellow member who sold me my Hemi car has had major problems with the long haul residual stuff.

Doctor says that the current stuff floating around doesn't seem nearly as virulent as the initial wave, but it does affect people differently, and a given person may react differently with one strain versus a newer one. I like the fact my doctor is a proponent of less rather than more in terms of medications. She said if I don't feel like getting another jab, don't, based on my past experience.

Covid seems to share some of the traits of the polio virus, which I contracted as an infant, a year before the Salk vaccine was released. Virtually the entire population was infected with that virus at some point, but 90% were asymptomatic. About a quarter of those who were diagnosed had initial paralysis, but recovered normal function. An unfortunate one percent died, and two percent were permanently paralyzed. The polio virus differed from Covid, in that the three existing strains didn't mutate. Thus the vaccine was a one and done, creating permanent immunity. Not so with Covid, because of its ability to mutate, much like a flu virus.

Consequences of polio infections were determined by individual variations in protein in the anterior horn cells, located in the spinal cord. Kind of like the lottery in reverse, seriously bad results for someone with the perfect structure for the virus to attach to. I fell into the gray area, where I lost enough motor neurons to create nuisance issues with lower body muscle endurance, but could pass for normal, until I started using mobility aids a few years ago.

After the arrival of the polio vaccine, the medical profession had little interest in those who experienced permanent damage as a result of the infection. It will be interesting to see how the current situation plays out.

How does someone out in the middle of nowhere by themselves get covid?

Chemtrails silly.

That's what the drones over New Jersey are doing!

I faithfully took the Covid jabs, and did the masking thing, as suggested. After my last jab, about 3-4 years ago, I suffered a bad reaction to the vaccine. I experienced vertigo, and then panic attacks, resulting in ambulance ride to the hospital. I had the jitters all the time, and could feel the cheese slowly slipping off the hamburger. I sought out medical and mental health, and am now on medication for my condition. I still do not like crowds, however. No more Covid shots for me!

That used to be grounds for dismissal

yes it is a flu

They changed the meaning of vaccine to include things that aren't vaccines.

I said I want to live in the middle of nowhere. I live in a bedroom community of Colorado Springs about 12 miles north of the city. Monument, CO.

Everyone has different opinions on this subject but has anyone noticed that most people got sick after your shots and not before ! just my humble observation

No Covid jabs for me and I never got really sick with anything in the last 5 years. I used to get a cold or the flu at least once every year. But, I stopped getting the flu shots (got them every year since I was 10, to about age 62 - 6 years ago) and started taking 10,000 units of vitamin D every day. Also, I got the horse paste and used it once a month for about a year. Maybe it worked or maybe not.

May everyone who got sick, get well quickly!

After years of getting the flu shortly after getting the flu shot and bad....I quit getting it. That was 25+ years ago and haven't had the flu since! Most of my doctors were older until they retired and one of them told me that the flu vac was made with a very mild but live strain and that's probably why I was getting sick from it but said they don't make it like that anymore so I tried one. That was probably 5 years ago and I didn't get sick but didn't get it anymore.

And decided for some reason to go get the 1st Moderna shot and while waiting for my 15 minutes to be up and thinking about all the flu shots that didn't do anything for me but make me sick, I drove off and never got another. So far so good. One thing I do contend with is allergies especially to pollen. Took me a lot of years to figure it out and manage them but before that I usually got a sinus infection at least once a year and sometimes twice a year. I found that Allegra worked well but back then, it wasn't over the counter and my doctor at the time always wanted to give me a steroid shot. For many, that works well but not for. It just made me worse and much worse.

Well, the next time in her office, I asked for a script for Allegra and refused to take a steroid shot and she argued with me. Look doc I said, if the Allegra doesn't help then I will try something different but ain't no way I'm taking anymore steroid shots. The Allegra D worked and didn't miss any work ever again for sinus problems.....and haven't have a sinus infection since....and that was also more than 25 years ago!

Chemtrails silly.

Whole family got it for the 2nd time back in October. My boys both had to go to the ER with fevers at 104. Both got a Z pack and better in 12hrs. My wife and I had mild symptoms compared to them but we had coughs for 5-6 weeks. I was coughing up stuff that no one should ever see!!

what is a Z pack?

 

[DeltaV]

what is a Z pack?

Azithromycin

 

[toolmanmike]

Fever, very gross productive cough, short of breath. I had it back when everyone had it years ago. No big deal really.

You are a sickie Steve! Get well soon.

 

[QuickBpBp]

what is a Z pack?

Antibiotics… you take so many first day then one less the next, one less the next etc until gone..

Hopefully you’re feeling better soon!

 

[moparker]

That’s steroids. Not antibiotics.

 

[QuickBpBp]

That’s steroids. Not antibiotics.

I thought so too cause I had to take a steroid for inflammation in my lungs when I was coughing but it’s says “antibiotics” but whatever it was they were both better in 12hrs and the 104 fever was gone…

 

[Cranky]

That’s steroids. Not antibiotics.

I've had Z packs before and they didn't affect me like the steroids did for a sinus infection. I'm thinking they are more antibiotics and weak on steroids...unless the steroids for a sinus infection was nothing but a heavy dose of steroids....?

Again this is what it says on the net…

Ok. My bad. Prednisone is the same way.
