This flu is no joke. It is kicking my butt -- 4x Covid vacc and recent flu vaccine, too. No fever, but hacking, unproductive cough x 3 days. Started as a sore throat over last weekend... Take care, everyone 🙏🏻
Well I can finally sort of taste and smell. Hoping I'm turning the corner on this not Covid maybe flu! 🤒
@Julie_in_FL No fever, loss of smell really sounds like covid and not flu. Flu symptom #1 is fever but it's hard to know. Get well wishes..kick it back! 😘💕
@Cachobweeney Right?! This has been really weird -- have home-tested x4 and all negative. Symptoms do seem classic for COVID, tho; so grateful to be on the rebound side! Thanks so much! 🙏🏻 💜
@Julie_in_FL Yep, its no joke.
3 folks in my bldge (2 on my floor) have tested covid +. My neighbor's symptoms are similar to yours. She was coughing so loudly and for so long today that I asked her to please call her doc. She did. She's lost her appetite, sense of smell and taste also.
I hope you get well soon.
@Bliss I'm really hoping tomorrow will be MUCH better. In the meantime, I HAVE been behaving as if I was COVID positive -- Staying HOME, masking in public areas, etc.
Thanks for good wishes :)

@Bliss oooh, that's awful. I agree on the coughing...I came upon some Alka-Seltzer Plus Cold Citrus and dissolved 2 tabs in water. Took x2 yesterday and again this mid-day.
I don't know if it was a coincidence, but today it started breaking up in my chest, ears popping when clearing out my sinuses, but at least it's clearing out.
