On her lips, taste of bitter, her hands bitten by frost

[sovay]

Per the doctor I saw this morning, I have the full tickybox of symptoms of a horrendous virus which is making the rounds; it comes with lung-clogging mucus, massive exhaustion, and brain fog; it is neither COVID-19 nor RSV and could last for upwards of a month. Presumably it is the source of my exacerbated asthma, but is a nasty customer in its own right. Everything I could do for it, I am already doing. Eventually I will get my normal volume of air back and the ability not to feel like someone wiped off my brain. In the meantime, whoopee.

Very much appreciated. I would really like my body to stabilize in a general direction of health. I remember it from previous periods of my life; I think I enjoyed it.

Glad it's neither of those monster-virii. Not happy that it's happened at all to anyone, including yourself.

Ugh, oh NO! I'm glad for the good parts of the diagnosis but the rest is miserable. Good luck for a swift and easy recovery.

(And let us know if we can drop anything off for you? Meds or soup or groceries or whatever might be useful?)

[sovay]

Good luck for a swift and easy recovery.

Thank you. What fresh hell.

(Will contemplate the offer: thank you also.)

[kenjari]

Oh no. I'm glad it's not Covid, but not glad that you're feeling so crappy. I hope you can get lots of rest.

[sovay]

I'm glad it's not Covid, but not glad that you're feeling so crappy. I hope you can get lots of rest.

Nooooo, Jesus

Is this a version of the flu? I heard it's come back after the holidays. :-/

[sovay]

Is this a version of the flu? I heard it's come back after the holidays.

No, it is apparently its own unwelcome thing. Zero stars, whole box full of bobcat.

I'm sorry to hear you're so sick but the doctor seems to know what it is... good it's not Covid or RSV. A month? I hope you will heal and have a faster recovery than expected.

[sovay]

A month? I hope you will heal and have a faster recovery than expected.

Thank you very much.

Another friend of mine was hit by that and it's brutal. I hope it leaves you alone very soon.

Do you have a name for this bug? My wife is currently in hospital with similar symptoms and no diagnosis yet...

[sovay]

I was not given a name. I was told it's a virus, it's running like wildfire, it's treated symptomatically, my PCP didn't even think there was a test for it. How is Kestrell doing?

[kate_nepveu]

whoopee indeed. =<

[sovay]

whoopee indeed.

I am so sick already of not writing.

[nineweaving]

If it had a name, we could curse it.

Refuah shleimah.

Oh no! I hope you can get some rest.

[sovay]

Oh no! I hope you can get some rest.

Thank you! I am currently in the annoying space of exhaustion combined with difficulty sleeping, but I'm doing my best.
