We've both been congested and coughing for the past few days. Wednesday night Ben tested himself and it immediately turned positive. He tested again to make sure it wasn't a false positive and got the same result. He went on telemed and was prescribed an anti-viral that he's been on since yesterday He used the last two tests we had on hand, so I couldn't test until last night after I got home from work and we'd gotten more.
It was negative. We breathed a sigh of relief, but it left me wondering exactly what was causing my issues if wasn't COVID.
I had a really rough night, and woke up feeling like crap, so I tested again…just to be sure.
Well, fuck!
So after my own telemed visit this morning, I'm now waiting for CVS to fill my script.
Hope both of you men are getting better everyday. I started on Paxlovid today. Please be well. Hugs, Dan
Damn. Sorry to hear that, and here's hoping you both recover quickly.
Hope it's not too serious. The theory is we will all get it eventually. Take good care of each other.
So sorry to read . My partner and I experienced the same situation in August. Because we are older, we received prescriptions for Paxlovid. We had no symptoms after 24 hours, but still were testing positive for 6 days.
Sleep, and drink plenty of liquids.
"Well, fuck" is right! I hope you guys get better soon!
Damn, that's bad news. Take things easy as you can and take care of yourselves. Hope the antivirals do their job quickly.
