Nuts & Bolts Guy
I was feeling slow Thursday, like an allergy hangover. I attributed it to walking around the lake and woods for a few hours Wednesday. Friday I started with sinus, throat, chest and fever, all mild. I took a couple of doses of Tussin DM that day to keep the symptoms at bay and had a couple of naps.
Saturday was the same, maybe a little improvement but thought that I felt similar to how I did 2 years ago, right before we went into the pandemic mode and took a test, sure enough, positive. 2 years ago, "whatever" I had kicked my butt and put me in bed for 5 days and took weeks to recover. Saturday, one dose of Tussin DM in the morning was enough to get through the day and a couple of naps.
Last night (Saturday), I had some fever sweats and slept LONG, 10 hours and woke up feeling pretty good in general. I still have some congestion but I consider myself on the mend and do not feel that I need any medicine.
I am vaccinated and boosted. I decided to do those things because of how bad that illness was 2 years ago, I did not want to get that sick again and lose all that work time. Losing that work time cuts into my fishing time!
so I guess?? the vaccines worked? Who knows but I thought I would share my experience.
Oh, one thing to add. My stomach from Wednesday night through yesterday has been growling and gurgling like I've never experienced and my appetite has been ferocious. I have been satisfying that appetite too, eating pretty healthy, with lots of protein however, there have been no bathroom issues. I guess my body was just gearing up to fight what was in it?
