    Literally had a sore throat and my eyes hurt for one day. Then nothing until three days later I lost my taste and smell for about a week, with no other symptoms. Fine after that, and I was unvaxxed.

    I learned something very interesting during my COVID experience.
    Tested positive at UC after 3-days of troubled breathing.
    My doc put me on anti-viral as I qualified under guidelines.
    Finished the 5 day anti-viral course and felt good.
    Then a day later 02 sats back down and the hack back.
    Doc wanted to make sure no pneumonia so ordered x-rays. Negative.
    Apparently after the anti-viral course you can develop rebound COVID
    The virus decides to have one last "party" as it's getting close to closing time.
    You're also considered at day one of quarantine once they determine rebound.
    Now on day 5 of second quarantine and day 14 since first sign of symptoms.

    So should I have opted for the anti-viral course and the potential for rebound, never told of this possibility, or should I have just rode it out and been out of this a week ago. I guess I'll never know it the anti-viral helped or not. Doc thinks it did.

    Which antiviral?

    Pfizer

    Half a Gatorade does the trick too unless you are fat or a hypochondriac.

    Or you have asthma that requires daily maintenance. Wife and daughter, 2 day thing then over. Daughter not vaxxed, wife was forced to or faced termination. Her body, her choice. So I hear. She had to risk blood clots but at least she can still get an abortion in WA. Tradeoffs.

    Asthma is a borderline hypochondriac disorder.

    Thought about it again. It’s a full on hypochondriac disorder. Everyone I know that has it has other bullshit allergies and other Epstein barr like disorders.

    No allergies. In fact I had no issues until my late 30's, then I couldn't play pickup BB outdoors w/o lungs going full burn. It's only a disease. Just what I'm hearing.

    Good to know that 5K people die each year because "hypochondriac" disorder got them. Someone should have told Rashidi Wheeler that it was all in his head when he dropped dead on the Northwestern practice field. Shake it off kid.

    Uh no, I have had it since I was 2 months old... I've been in the hospital many times for it luckily not admitted, but they have better medication that works well. When I have a cold it can flare up really bad. I love playing hockey because I can bust arse for a min and take a break and stop wheezing and when doing a 5k I have to ralk... run and walk to catch my breath. F u for saying its fake... I hope you have it one day you can't breathe and then you will realize how wrong you are.... it isn't fun and definitely not fake.

    I was at a dance in 6th grade, had an attack and didn't have my medication with me, wanted to be cool lol.... well I turned blue and had to be rushed to the hospital... but yeah I faked it. Kept my Aero Chamber and Albuterol in my pocket 247 since then.
