Any #cosonauts who have had COVID: How long ago did you recover and do you have any lingering, off the wall, or otherwise unexplainable nonsense still going on? #covid
I recovered from COVID in late Aug. I had loss of taste & smell and awful skin rashes on my legs. All of these seem to be coming back to haunt me on a regular basis.
I have always had clear skin. Until Covid. Now I am Empress Eczema.
My sense of smell is unreliable AF. Brand New deli turkey? My nose says, "Sizzling roadkill on a 90° afternoon."
Brushing teeth? Peppermint tea? Here's a nice appetizer of bad spinach and kielbasa.
Eating string cheese? Mmm that first bite tastes like... Pesto?!
Had it August too. Taste/smell/energy are randomly available. Got booster #3 with hope no repeat. Masking too.
@LnzyHou I work on an inpatient Leukemia unit. While my coworkers dropped like flies it was a point of pride that I hadn't gotten it. There were literally three left among us who hadn't had it. Then we got hit with that omicron variant and we all three were infected within exactly a week of each other. I was the last woman standing. Until I wasn't.
@LnzyHou aren't they so cute, those wee baby doctors? Full of hopes and dreams....
I'm glad the paxlovid worked well for you. They offered it to me too, but I was a few weeks post-op and didn't want to risk anything at the time. I rode it out, although from everyone I know who has taken it, it seems pretty effective.
We have to avoid second case. They say, much worse. #covid
@LnzyHou at all costs! I also still mask everywhere.

I was traveling in PA & ended up ER where 12 yr old doc gave me Paxlovid RX. Great anti viral. I tested negative on day 6 after five days of PAX.
