Well, yesterday: about 8:30, 9:00 pm I threw up. Three times. Then pretty much like clockwork, every hour or so, plus or minus, vomiting and diahrhea up until this morning. Last Kesel Run to the bathroom was about 8:00 this morning. I'm on a work call I couldn't reschedule, but after this is done I'm going to bed, see if I can get some sleep.
I haven't thrown up in over a decade and I forgot how shitty it is. Chills, sweats, and at first I think I shit my pants twice until I got the system down. How humiliating. I'm a grown man!!!
I'd recommend testing for COVID...had similar symptoms two months ago, and decided to test (mostly bc it's been going around work). For the first time (after 4 years and literally hundreds of tests) I tested positive.
I'm immune-compramised and have a history of lung ailments, so I hopped on a virtual appointment and they put me on Paxlovid right away. Withing two doses I felt wayyyyyyy better. Never developed the cough, and other than isolating for the remainder of the week, was back to my old self in a few days.
Might just be the stomach flu, but if it's Covid, the anti-viral can be the difference between a stint on the couch vs. a stint in the hospital.
Either way, hope you feel better soon.
