Started last Sunday with sinus congestion. Congestion and drip, followed by a cough, sneezing, and a mild fever, was worse Monday. Thought it was just a summer sinus problem. Wife scheduled me a test Tuesday morning at local health dept. Nurse swabbed nose...10 min later...positive Covid. This is day 5 of sinus congestion, sneezing, and cough. Have not lost taste or smell, but they are muted a little. No fever for past 2 days. I feel OK, but my head continues to feel like I just resurfaced from nearly drowning.


Wife and I were both Covid positive in February 2021. Lost taste and smell for a month. Never had a fever. Mild sinus congestion and cough. She is free of symptoms as of today.

Comparing the two episodes: this strain has caused more sinus congestion and drip. Coughing is about same.

I am NOT vaccintated.

Btw....I think I know where (not who) I got it from this time. Attended a NWTF banquet last Thursday.....lots of contact there......about 200 people there. I was awarded a plaque and a Henry .22 rifle for my service as a GW and effort with the local chapter. Looks like I got more than a plaque and a gun.....lol. The Henry rifle is the "trapper carbine" model....perfect!!! I was humbled. Didnt see that coming.

Hope it goes well.

Show it your badge.

Don't have one anymore.

When you get it show you're man card...if you have one.

Prayers sent.

I noticed several coworkers were hacking their lungs out today. I kept my distance. I didn't even know Covid was going around. I thought Biden cured it, LOL

Lol....me too. Hadn't heard of anyone local for a few months that had it. But, wife tells me she has seen talk of some locals with it on her FB page in past couple days.

Good luck and prayers sent

Hmmm, been sick for over a week now and on two different antibiotics and still haven’t improved except the sore throat finally went away.

Had doc call me in what he felt I needed. I've got an antibiotic (6 tablets) and cough syrup. 2 more tablets left. Seems like the congestion is much more persistent than b4.

Zinc with Quercetin
Vit D

It sounds like covid has sort of just morphed into something similar to the common cold. I think that's great.

Affects people differently. Smokers, diabetics, poor immunity, obese, etc then Covid may kill ya just like the flu might.

Just found today I got no cold but positive vid
Great stuck on a boat feeling like dirt
Have vac and boost
Not the way to start fishing season

Some days good but others not ,day 8 ,went to ER told to rest and isolation

Prayer for you all. Get well.

nasal rinse for sinus congestion....

It’s odd that this is your second round...should have antibodies from first episode to fight this latest case off. Hope you and others continue to improve in feeling better.

I had it late May also (omicron variety probably), not fun but rest up and make it through. Probably had few abs from the last infection 16 months ago

Everyone I am seeing with it now is pretty mild. Even the people that should be struggling with it are making it through it without issue. Not sure how many times I've had it and have never tested positive. There was a time in January where I was seeing 4-5 positive Covid's in my clinic daily for nearly 8 weeks. Never wore anything more than a surgical mask I'd wear during a typical flu season.
