I have COVID. What are the odds?
Posted: Fri Sep 10, 2021 7:32 pm
Last year, I went to the hospital for something unrelated to COVID. I took a COVID infection, and an antibody test. I tested negative for the virus, but positive for the antibodies. Early this year, I got the Pfizer vaccine. Last Friday, I developed a mild cough with an itchy throat. By Monday, it was a lot worse with a fever and body aches. I got tested on Tuesday, with the positive result told to me on Wednesday. That night and into yesterday, it felt like I had breathed in a bunch of fish hooks that got yanked on every time I'd cough. The chills made me feel like I was going to knock my own teeth out from shivering. Literally every point in my body where I have had an injury felt like it was on fire. The other joints felt like they hadn't moved in years from stiffness.
Yesterday, I got a round of Regeneron treatment. It is said that it should kick in within 48 hours. Lots of tylenol, musinex, water, nyquil have helped. Going outside in the heat/humidity hurts a lot. Sleeping for more than 2 or 3 hours at a time means a really harsh coughing fit will be on its' way. Talking while standing is a no no. What are the odds of being exposed enough to develop antibodies, being vaccinated, and still getting really sick from COVID? Of all the crappy stuff made in China, they made a virus that can do this?
I would still 100% get the vaccine again. I'm fairly sure that without the protections it gave, I'd be dead right now. If you haven't gotten it by now, please get it. With all of this said, I do not support vaccine or mask mandates of any kind.
