New Do you know if it's reinfection or symptoms returning?

Drew
New Don't know anything
M gets tested all the time. Twice a week now. She's constantly exposed to covid patients. She also has a crazy immune system that does not show vaccinations. Her T cells are so strong she doesn't actually require antibodies. Her ancestors were from a unique village that survived the plague unscathed. When she gets vaccinations the follow-up test say she wasn't vaccinated. But she does not get sick for the most part, at least not apparently so.


So it is a reasonable assumption that she's bringing the stuff home all the time. But we can't know unless other people in the household get tested.

So before it was a common publicly known disease, by a couple of days, I had what I thought was the worst hangover of my life. I very rarely get any type of hangover so I was just assuming here. I could not lift my head for more than a couple of seconds before dropping back. It was incredibly difficult to roll in the bed. Nausea without vomiting. Just a really God damn bad day. And then it passed.

Three or four months later it happened again. But I hadn't drank anything the day before. I couldn't write it off to the alcohol.

About a week ago I realized I couldn't taste the salt on Ritz crackers. I have ritual concerning Ritz crackers where I place the salty side down on my tongue and enjoy that hit of salt. No longer.

I handed a cracker to M to see if she could taste the salt, maybe it was a bad batch. but we could feel the salt crystals on the crackers so they should be just normal. She couldn't taste it either and we both chalked it up to a bad batch. Not realizing she couldn't taste either.

A day later I open up a different box and we realized neither of us could taste salt and at the same time there's a fizzy feeling on our tongues. Kind of like carbonation, very light but there.

Then the searing foot pain kicked in when I stepped on the floor. Typically anytime I have a foot or ankle go it is only one at a time. I'm used to this type of pain but never in both feet at the same time. And M commented that a couple of her covid patients mentioned the searing foot and hand pain.

I went for a test yesterday but the test center was closed and I have no insurance so I'm not paying for this. I don't go out and do anything anyway, so there is no reason to even test me because I am 100% isolated other than M and the kids (Mjr and boyfriend who she calls husband). Of course the kids go out all the time and pretend to give a s*** about being careful but we know better. Note: the kids are 25 years old plus.

A day ago M's 02 was 70. But she felt just fine and refused to go to the hospital. I kept checking to see if she was alive in the middle of the night. She's back to 93 which is perfectly fine for us. Mine never went under 90. since she's showing symptoms she can't work until she tests negative so she's off her test right now at her work.
New around here there is free drive in testing twice a week, nothing similar there?
"Science is the belief in the ignorance of the experts" – Richard Feynman
New And over here it's free all the time in many locations
Except they started closing them on Sunday at certain locations and you have to figure out which ones. But we foolishly just started driving to try to get to them at their opening on Sunday and of course there was nothing there because it was one of the ones they closed. Damn it.

And both of us felt like s*** and then we went home.

She knew she was getting her test today as scheduled at work. She's not actually working she just has to show up for the test. We attempted to beat it out and have it done yesterday for both of us. There really wasn't a strong incentive to try to figure out an open one and go drive there at that point.

So I'll process through and fight it off. My feet don't hurt the way they did when it first hit. I'm breathing just fine. I'm a smoker so I cough no matter what. The only difference this time around (that I'm aware of) is I've just started losartan again. Which has an effect on the same receptors that it uses to attack me, maybe it's having a different effect because of this. I was not on losartin for about a week, my prescription ran out and that is also the same time it manifested. A couple of days ago I restarted the losartan again and maybe it will affect in some way or another, that's one of the things they are totally clueless on, they just know it affects the same receptors.
New Thaks for your lucid report--with details.
I too noticed--months back--what may echo your comment on nausea: a (first-ever that I recall experiencing) 'nausea' event: very brief and of the class, "ya gota get near the throne because.." But: Nothing, just the imminent-feeling. No vomiting or any second 'twinge' or tic.

So then, given the maddenly-variant individual responses to COVID [for all we Know-fershure] having been lightly exposed [since: QUANTITY of these bugs, per-event, IS a signficant datum] I may very well have had one of those v. low doses [a decent 'hope' natch] as merely tickled my [also] rather strong immune system: that is, it has been many years since getting any flu-like or other odd maladies--a pattern for which I'm grateful: tl'dr; simply I have had only measles of the childhood diseases and--for last 40ish years--essentially 0* of 'sickness'. I do not exaggerate here; it's as much a mystery to moi--as it sounds.

* Ed: but my locale, the fact of rarely being around small children--carriers all?--no Mashes amidst n000 people in auditoria etc. are surely factors--no magick need apply.

... ... Luck to us both. Methinks that your description of wife's immune system magic sorta deserves to be studied "at work"? as, clearly she might be a One who also throws non-sequiturs at whatever 'testing' [including the still-imperfect COVID tests], as range in their believabilty--all across the map. If that error-rate IS being mapped-enough? She might be a 'Typhoid Mary' no-symptoms carrier--which would be Good to Know fershure--for all obvious reasons. (But what one does with that status, were it a fact: I know not).

Again Thanks--your essays always are amidst the clearest, fat-free recitations extant. You could be a CIEIO! somewhere because you could flag-the-BS--on contact, eh? ;^>

New Re: immune system
For many years she was worried about the black helicopters taking her away. But this particular gene pool is well known and studied so that is no longer an issue. But 10 years ago this was a serious issue.
