So… COVID test came back positive too. Oof. No COVID symptoms, knock on wood, though. Dr. said it may be extremely mild case and most of my symptoms are strep-related. Still…oof. And I was so happy because I was getting better! Damn Sal. Rotten luck with both. Maybe take a multivitamin just in case for a few days so you dont miss any vital nutrients. Punch covid in the gut and get better!

And now I’m in the ER because I’ve started wheezing. Apologies for using this thread as a journal, I’m just scared and feel like I need an outlet.

Thank you so much, Ack.
OK for now—doc couldn’t hear anything in lungs and EKG was normal. We’ll see how it goes.

Was just about to respond! They actually discharged me right away, so I’ve been home all day with my head over a pot of hot water, onions, and garlic for the most of it. I still hear that wheezing, which scares me a bit because the last time I had this (and now I know I had it last time—identical symptoms, progression, everything) it went so quickly to pneumonia. But the ER didn’t hear anything, so I guess all good, knock on wood. Other than that it just feels like a bad cold. The strep seems to be on its way out with the antibiotic.

Now some lady from the hospital called wanting to put me on a blood thinner! I've been waiting all day for my dr. to call me back about it… I keep calling, it keeps going to the scheduling dept., which is a different office. I love my dr., but this company he's partnered with is driving me crazy.

@phistosgauntlet, it's something called rivaroxaban/Xarelto. The woman who wants me on it is kind of creeping me out because she's so insistent, calling and texting me over and over. She said to me she spoke to my doc and he approved it for me, which he said isn't true (!!). My doc said it's fine as a precautionary measure but I don't have to take it. I asked the woman if I could wait to say yes till tomorrow; she said the dr. doing the study wants an answer now. What?!

Thought I’d update the thread…
I’m feeling a lot, lot better. I kept freaking out because of heart and pneumonia fears, but the doctors kept telling me heart and lungs sound fine. Anyway, I’m out of quarantine and just left with a cough and mucus—as if I just had a cold!
My mom also got it, and of course I was worried about her. She ended up getting the monoclonal antibodies and she seems OK now. Her taste and smell aren’t totally back yet, but she’s mending quickly, probably because of the monoclonal.
