I finally got sick!
After 17 years without a sniffle I tested positive for Covid Friday morning. I knew I was probably feeling an actual illness but it had been so long I almost forgot what being sick felt like. The chills is what grabbed my attention. Got a false negative Thursday morning...and thought maybe the whiskey after a few beers the night before was too much. Haha. By Saturday I was feeling improved and today just about feeling back to normal. I hammered this virus with the supplements I know it hates and it sure seemed to work. It's a very interesting illness. Via the body aches it was as though the bug was traveling around in me looking for a weak spot. Ended up with aches in my piriformis muscles and lower spine. This is where I've had to undergo PT in the past. Also one ear just started hurting like hell - all while I was trying to sleep last night. Took a couple ibuprofens and that stopped it.
I'm not vaxed for it. And, over the past month I worked myself to exhaustion while clearing out two homes to sell back in Commiefornia without my trusty vitamin D. Then, my son had a good time in a big casino arcade and that's where I think we got it. I was due. My plan was to avoid it until the virus had weakened substantially. Didn't make it as long as I liked. Before it landed in this hemisphere I said two predictions: 1- Most people are going to get it. And, 2- Most of us will lose somebody close to us from it. There you have it.

I have minor sniffles all the time. An ear, nose and throat doctor who examined me concluded about 5 years ago that I have a 24/7 allergy to some unknown something.
My daughter came up with the theory that is why age 75 me over the years lost all of my upper teeth yet kept almost all of my lower teeth. I think she may be on to something.
Anyway my dentist (a keeper due to the gentle way he will stick a needle into gums, that need now quite rare) so perfectly designed my full upper "partial" that I don't need an adhesive for it to cling to the top of my mouth.
Maybe this variant is the herd immunity-bringer. My husband got the chills and felt like he had the flu, ran a small fever, but rebounded in 3 days. I never got the fever but had sniffles, vicious headaches, and fatigue. It took me a little longer to rebound but it was only about a week. I have been fighting a battle against chronic migraines since (had them before but not as frequent). My doc put me on steroids to try to break the migraine cycles and that seems to be working.
It is an ODD virus for sure and doesn't seem to follow many rules other than looking for a weak spot. Frankly, I'm just glad to have had the exposure now so that I carry some authentic immunity.
Since we're on the topic...My dad was a basket case the last five years of his life to do excessive vaccination. Eventually, even his doctors refused his request for more vaccines near the end. One of his symptoms really came to light with the J&J Covid vax - blood clots. He didn't live long enough for the covid vax to arrive but he was riddled with a continuous blood clot problem. I didn't make the connection then, but knew it hadn't been a genetic/family tendency.
