You’re not so sick that you can’t be on the internet and posting on DCUM, so it can’t be THAT bad.

I promise you will get through this. One day at a time. A week from today you will start to feel better. You can do this!

I hope you can get Paxlovid and some relief.


Op here. Thank you. This truly reminds me of labor. Just the despair and the desperately wanting it to be OVER, and just craving relief, any kid of relief.

I’m just so freaking angry right now, we had the worst winter ever of kid illnesses, I missed so much work, I was so badly sick (with flu and with covid and multiple other viruses). I feel like I CANNOT GO BACK TO THAT HORRIBLE TIME AGAIN. I CANNOT DO IT.

Get paxlovid within 5 days of symptom onset. There are a million qualifying conditions - age, BMI over 25, most mental health conditions, high blood pressure, cardiac,kidney, diabetes, etc.

If your dr won’t RX, call your state’s test to treat line.

They might not give it to you if you've had Covid for a while, so get it NOW. Yes, it helps.

Paxlovid helps if you take in the first couple days

Op here. Yes I’m vaccinated and boosted.

This just reminds me of labor in the sense of that feeling of desperation and wanting to get out of your body.

I know I will survive but I’m just suffering so deeply right now.

I guess I’m just venting/whining.

I have had COVID twice, and the illness I have now feels exactly like the other two times.

I am in hell. Pure effing hell. Honestly the fever, chills, electrical pains in my body, they remind me of my super long inductions. This fever is killing me.

Please encourage me. I’m so depressed. It feels like this will never end.
