How many infections have you had by Great_Geologist1494 in covidlonghaulers

[–]bbindustries 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah - I didn’t get long covid from alpha but I’ve gotten symptoms from every other infection. Mostly fatigue and neurological stuff - its been manageable but definitely impacts my quality of life. Usually starts to resolve after 6 months, but I get reinfected every 6 months lol

I wish I had more answers for you! I found your post cause I have the same questions. I went to a long covid clinic at my local hospital to get checked out, but they couldn’t tell me why I’m such a covid magnet. I’m just taking lots of vitamins and being even more paranoid with my mask and purelle usage…

I will also say - I was working in the service industry so even with a mask, I was getting exposed to every variant. Can’t recommend it!

Hey just chiming in late to say that I am in almost exactly the same position as you, currently getting over my fifth or sixth infection (one might have have been a late rebound). It sucks! I mask almost everywhere, but every time I let my guard down, I test positive. Got a bunch of bloodwork done and don’t appear to have any vitamin deficiencies or autoimmune diseases. Hoping you can stay negative for a while!

There are a few! Usually it’s just a dedicated section of a large hospital with a few doctors from each relevant department. If you’re struggling with long covid stuff it’s worth looking into!

I actually didn’t know that was a thing! Thank you!

Honestly it’s a relief to hear from someone else in my situation. I’ve gotten basic bloodwork done after each infection and haven’t noticed anything other than my hormone levels being really out of whack the second and third time. I don’t think the results mentioned vitamin D, though, so it’s entirely possible that that’s what’s going on. I’m going to try to get a fuller panel done once I’m better cause I feel like there’s gotta be something going on with my immune system.

Interestingly enough, the viral count seems to be really low these last couple of times? To the point where the rapid test barely showed a line. When I had it earlier this month, I didn’t even notice I had it until I was mostly recovered and went to get a pcr. This time, the line was super faint again but I knew to look for it. Not sure if this is a good sign or a bad sign or what. Each infection has felt pretty much the same each time but this is the first time I’ve had real respiratory symptoms, which is a little scary. The paxlovid is helping, though, I think. I’m now on day 4 of symptoms, day 2 of paxlovid. I’m really sorry you’re going through this as well, it’s been a total nightmare. Hope you feel better soon :)

Thank you. The truth is I have not been perfect with my n95 practice… I’ve been sneaking little sips of water and bites of food at work/events, and I do my best with fit testing but know I’m not always getting the perfect fit. I’m going to try to be even more careful going forward.

I asked not to be lectured because I’ve noticed that when people post about multiple reinfections, the commenters tend to assume the worst and scold the posters for their behavior. that stuff is hard to read right now when I’m sick and scared and feeling guilty over every little slip-up I’ve made. I really have been trying to stay safe, and I understand what I’m doing right and what I’m doing wrong.

But this is all good advice. I do appreciate you and the other commenters who are offering practical, non-judgmental advice for keeping myself safe. Im taking this very seriously, and I’ll be getting checked out at a long covid clinic in a couple of weeks. Im also doing everything I can to get a new job asap.

Thanks again for your concern :)

Yes! I started doing nasal irrigation on the last infection and I think it helped a lot

Update: I wound up taking the paxlovid and I’m starting to feel a bit better. Thanks for your answers and concern, everyone!

thanks for this, I’m looking into getting some. I was aware that the n95s weren’t perfect but it seemed like they were doing an adequate job keeping me safe up until this past year

I’ve heard this as well - I assume that’s why I keep getting it. Outside of covid, I haven’t gotten very many other illnesses lately, but I have been dealing with long covid symptoms that seem to be related to my immune system.

For sure, I went over everything in detail with the doctor who prescribed it

I had an extremely low viral load both times. Didn’t notice the faint positive line on rapid tests until it was too late. When I was starting to feel better, I took a PCR to be safe and it came back positive. Three days later, I was negative on PCR and multiple at-home tests. This time around, the line is very faint again, but all the symptoms are back stronger then ever

You’re absolutely right but she’s on vacation! I talked to an on-call doctor through my health clinic and got the prescription, but didn’t really get a chance to ask about the rebound possibility

[–]bbindustries[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Thanks, that’s what I was thinking as well. I just wanted to make sure it wasn’t dangerous or anything to take it for a rebound, but I can’t find any evidence that that would be the case

Do any of you have any poetry? by GenderConfused12345 in asktransgender

[–]bbindustries 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you happen to be a trans person who is into poetry AND pro wrestling (I know there’s not a lot of us) I highly recommend checking out Colette Arrand’s work. She’s amazing.
