Washingtonians Come Together! Washington Peeps

I don't want to start anything here, but I prefer natural immunity. My body was fearfully and wonderfully made. Never gets anything very badly and I believe that's because I have allowed the bugs to be fought off naturally.

Had covid twice and it lasted 3 days each time. Didn't go to the doctor. Not a big deal at all for me. And still true after chemo. So, it will be annoying for a few days, but we'll ride it out. DH is about done with his today.

But, I can complain about it can't I?

I was very close to being hospitalized from Covid both times I had it. I have asthma which made it worse. I can't get over colds very well either. Was sick over 2 weeks both times. Symptoms lingered 8 months last one.

I can fight off most everything else if it doesn't involve lungs.

I'm so sorry it was that bad for you. Certainly asthma would change everything for you.

I'm curious...were you vaccinated?

Not first time. Was one of the people who got it before it was known to be spreading in December of 2019. Had antibodies for it when tested later. Was vaccinated the 2nd time but got it when the dominant strain was changing. My uncle had got it early, too, and they were having him donate blood on a schedule so they could use the antibodies to save people. I'm not allowed to donate because I have issues with my iron.

What a noble thing for your uncle to do!

Well, I realize I'm fortunate. I've never had even a flu shot, even before covid. It isn't for me, but I understand you all for doing it. My system has worked so far and at 73 I don't really expect it to change. But you never know. Something will get me sometime I suppose.

Well come to think of it, I was pretty sick with a cold/flu in late 2017. Had to sleep sitting up in a chair all night in order to breath. Didn't go to the doctor. Probably should have gone to the hospital. IDK I just never have with anything like that. Always thinking I'll spread it.
