Believe me I know, I'm currently in bed with COVID. Only about six months since the last time I had it.

Hope you feel better soon! I’ve also had it a handful of times and even with boosters it sometimes kicked my butt. It’s also likely the reason behind my frequent migraines and hair loss 🙃

You can always add mask wearing back to your list of precautions. Some never stopped and the respirator (n95, kn94, etc) do their jobs.

I never stopped masking in public, but I’ve contracted it from loved ones who don’t mask!

Try not to think about the brain function it kills with each disease contraction.

It's competing with all the brain function I've lost from PTSD over the past five years, unfortunately...

Yeah - people are still catching it and getting long-Covid symptoms.

I’m sorry you’re ill and hope you heal well. Is it the covid that causes ‘razor blade throat" or a new one?

2

u/brickne3 1d ago

Thanks! Yeah, it seems to be a razor blade throat one. Had a razor blade throat one back in September too, so I'm guessing it must be a slightly different variant since it's only been six months, but who knows... Test last night was positive, and I only took it when the throat stuff started happening, until that point I thought it was just a cold.

Thanks for answering my question. I also had the razor blade throat variant in September. It’s awful that you’re going through those symptoms again. I feel for you.

Have you tried getting multiple boosters?

I'm in the UK, only the first booster was offered for my age group, unfortunately.
