H2O Posted February 16, 2022 Share Posted February 16, 2022 My advice will be that until you can get a better feel for the room and add substance then just lurk. Learn from others, suffer in silence and be willing to accept criticism without long ass reply posts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WxUSAF Posted February 16, 2022 Share Posted February 16, 2022 Dodged it for 2 years, but the Rona found us. Wife and son both positive today. Both pretty mild symptoms. My parents had/have it and had negative home tests this past weekend so they visited us for my son’s birthday and spread it. So it goes. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully it just stays mild and that all are on the mend soon. We know quite a few fully vaccinated and boosted folks who have gotten it, but each one of them had pretty mild symptoms, the worst of which was a bad cold for a couple days. Obviously that's not how it goes for everyone, but my anecdotal evidence is that that's very much how it's been going in general. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daughter and I are wondering if we get it. We’re not going to isolate them in the basement or whatever because we were just as exposed to my parents over the weekend and to them the last few days. So I figure we’re already as exposed as we can get. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, there is a shot for that, in fact it's a series of 2 (Shingrix vaccine). I actually got mine a couple of years back. Definitely get it, if you're "old enough"...last thing you would want is to suffer getting shingles! Apparently it's quite effective. 2 hours ago, H2O said: Wanna go get colonoscopies together? Hahaha! Have gotten several of those over the years (no, not due to age, but have to get them more often due to history of colitis). I can deal with an all-liquid diet the day before, I can deal with the procedure itself (since they knock you out for that anyhow), and I can deal with the "recovery" right afterward, plus I can eat normally again at that point. But the ONE thing I just CANNOT get used to is that God-awful gallon of prep solution you have to drink the night before. Ugh! It is awful. 8 ounce glass every 10 minutes. It's like a bad drinking game! I can be fine for the first 3 or 4 glasses, but after that it gets to be a real struggle. Even the "flavor packs" they give you don't help much...still tastes like disgusting metallic salt. Bleahhhhhhh! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope you and your daughter are OK and if you do get it, that it's only minor. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here I was, already having bouts of nausea every day (part of the reason why I was getting the colonosopy to rule that out)...and then they give me that rank bile to drink. Flavor packet my behind! So that just brought exacerbated the nausea...then I call the on call doctor to see what I could take and that was the rudest grumpiest doctor I'd ever seen. Not to mention earlier that day the Bengals kicked our behind and Flacco threw 4 INTs...just horrible! Thankfully...when I had to get another one a few years ago it was just a whole bottle of Miralax...MUCH better! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
