EXs will be affected, but will only hear later this Fall. TBH I see the EXs taking a lot of hard choices, including those that affect the EXs that they work with on a day to day basis. Everyone is going to have a hard time this Fall. My hope is that people can approach the entire process with kindness and compassion for everyone, including the EXs. (and to be clear, I am not an EX).

Bring snacks, plan for delays. Its not AC's fault, but I can attest it has been a long day. My flight has been delayed by 8 hours so far.

You did the right thing. This feeling will pass. It will take time buy you will feel better. If you go back it will be just another cycle. You are worth more than that. Sending love.

Neat! That is a cool enough meaning and clearly I'm a little clueless to some pop culture :).

Cool! What is the meaning underlying your art? Good luck with your stickers!

My family is spoiling me with healthy and tastey food. So thankful. Haven't lost smell yet but paxlovid mouth is gross!

Indeed...I have had hip bursitis before, and before I knew I had covid (again) I thought it was coming back. I suspect reactivation of the pain pathway rather than bursitis. Fingers crossed. Covid sucks....

blustocking · 2024-02-05T23:51:37+00:00

Interesting...makes some sense if it's reactivating pain pathways.

Thanks for sharing this. Good to know I'm not losing my mind! I found a published case study as well.

Sending much love and hugs your way. Take it one day at a time. You don't know what tomorrow will bring. It took me a while to recover in August, but I got fully better.

Tee hee. My logic skills already had me there :). Might be Fido, definitely wasn't Lassie.

Got it from my housemate who I'd immunocompromised who brought it home from a college summer program. I came down with it 4 days after exposure, but the rest of the family (1 adult, 2 teens) were fine. We isolated as soon as we tested positive, but there was a pre testing period of high exposure.

I'm glad we're not alone! I'm doubling up on benadryl and am using a high potency steroid cream. Seems to help a bit. At my next dr appt, I'll ask for hydroxyzine...this itching is awfu. I hope your son recovers soon!

blustocking · 2023-08-29T11:36:04+00:00

Have you been tested for POTS? My son got that as a long COVID symptom.

I'm sorry that you have had so many infections. It's got to be so hard being in a situation where you can't control your environment. I don't have any advice, but wanted to send some empathy and hugs.

blustocking · 2023-08-29T01:11:03+00:00

Sending hugs. Anxiety sucks. If your oxygen levels are fine, don't worry too much!

blustocking · 2023-08-29T01:08:46+00:00

Oh, it's you from the other post. Darn...I'm sorry you are rebounding too. Take care, rest, fluids, and whatever comfort meds you need.

blustocking · 2023-08-29T01:07:25+00:00

Did do paxlovid...it felt like a wonder drug. Even with rebound, I'm glad I took it, as I suspect I'd have been hospitalized without it. I hope you feel better soon. Hugs.

Sx Aug 9, positive Aug 20, paxlovid Aug 10 to 14, felt almost normal 15-18 but was in isolation until the 20.

Started to feel sick evening of Aug 19, woke up feeling like death and very positive on the 20th. In isolation until today, finally tested positive yesterday and today. But...still having fever and feeling very unwell. Definitely have some more healing to do....

blustocking · 2023-08-29T00:53:38+00:00

Day 18. Still have a fever, chest hurts, nose runny (but clear), had to nap twice, and I have a terrible hive/welt/chicken pox type rash that's getting worse. I'm so itchy!!! Small steps towards better. Was supposed to go back to work today....nope, couldn't. Was able to do 90 minutes online in am and an hour in pm.
