Kids were fine after 2 days. Wife had mild flu symptoms for about a week but didn’t have taste smell back for almost a month. Only odd long term thing so far has been hair loss. My wife has been losing an unusual amount of hair recently and another female coworker of mine who had it around the same time said she literally has handfuls of hair falling out daily. This whole virus is just so weird... https://www.aad.org/public/diseases/hair-loss/causes/covid-19 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is unique to covid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloWeather Posted March 24, 2021 Share Posted March 24, 2021 I get my 1st shot April 10th at UB and my 2nd on May 1st. I'm getting sick right now, I really hope this isn't covid. I think its sinus a infection, I get sick this time of the year nearly every year. No fever, just bad sore throat, feel weak, and sinuses clogged. Taking lots of zinc, vitamin D, apple cider vinegar, lots of tea, slept 3 hours after work and going to bed early tonight. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Working in hospitals I can tell you that upstate NY is in a better spot. Most HCP’s are vaccinated, morale is picking up, units are getting back to normal, etc.. we are on the right trajectory. Pray it keeps up and pray everyone gets vaccinated. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloWeather Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 Got a strep and covid test both negative. Had a fever of around 100 for last few days. Its a sinus infection. There are still other illnesses besides covid out there! I get this every March when the seasons change. I wonder what I am allergic to outside?

Lot of people at work having “seasonal allergies” and I think a stomach bug might finally be going around. Didn’t really see a lot of people getting seasonal colds and flus this winter until now. I’m always good for 2-3 bad sinus infections every year, knock on wood haven’t had one since January 2020, can’t say the masks don’t work... The first nice day out I did have an allergic reaction after being out doing some yard work. Bad rash and hives on my arms, legs, and neck. Some Benadryl and cordizone cream cleared me up. On the COVID topic had a coworkers son (late 30s no underlaying issues) fall rapidly ill today. Woke up and went to work feeling fine. Started feeling weak and spiked a fever at lunch time. Left work got a positive rapid test went home and collapsed. Got rushed to the hospital and is on a vent in the ICU. Just crazy how a healthy young guy can go from being fine to in the ICU in 12 hours. I think we’re gonna start seeing a spike again soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The doctor said its the common cold, technically a coronavirus, but not covid 19. I always have terrible allergies around this time of year, really hoping for some rain tonight. That story is crazy, that is why along with other research I've decided to get the vaccine. I don't want any long haul covid issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it persists more than 2 days or hits my chest I call the dr for an antibiotic. Mucinex to clear it out. Lots of water hot tea raw local honey soup. Warm mist vaporizer and vicks rub at night. Actually quit smoking when covid started and I know that always made my sinus infections x10 worse. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just ask your dr or the pharmacist which one to get, they make like 30 different kinds of mucinex now and every one does something a little different depending on your specific ailment. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buckeyes_Suck Posted March 26, 2021 Share Posted March 26, 2021 Word of advice for anyone recovering...take it easy. I thought I was back to 100% Wednesday so I got a shoulder workout in. Somewhat light weight compared to normal, and shoulders are usually my easiest workout. Woke up with the worst migraine yesterday morning, was completely drained and dehydrated. Going to try some light cardio later today and see what happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lifting lighter weight than normal to be safe and cardio was consistent in HR with what I did before. My wife is still feeling exhausted but we cant figure out if that's just work related stress or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuffaloWeather Posted March 30, 2021 Share Posted March 30, 2021 The vaccine passport is a joke, and it could be the first step in this country never recovering to pre covid times. Unfortunate. 9/11 changed this country so much with the security measures put in place, covid is going to change this country even more. You're going to need a vaccine passport to go to bills/sabres games, to concerts, to travel. This world has gone insane, people die...we all will. Let us live with the short time we have on this amazing planet. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
