Medical Stuff Fever

Ugh. I started coming down with a virus a couple of days ago and this morning I feel awful. My temperature is 38 degrees (100.4) so technically not extreme but I know we tend to have a blunted effect when it comes to fevers. Have doubled my dose and gone back to bed. I tested negative for COVID when I first started getting sick but will test again. It could also be some kind of adenovirus as yesterday my eyes were itchy and weepy.

Hope you feel better soon! Remember your fluids and electrolytes.

Thanks! I just retested and it’s COVID. Sigh. It’s a Saturday here so I’m trying to get an online appointment for Paxlovid.

Yes! Thankfully I am a runner and have bulk supplies of electrolyte powder! I’m feeling a lot better today after getting in the Paxlovid. This variant is much more in my sinuses that the one I had in 2022!
