I’ve been feeling tons better as I recovered from the flu but I started to go down hill. I kept clearing my throat (post nasal drip), congested nose that a 12 hr decongestant, nasal saline solution and an allergy nasal spray didn’t do the trick, cold meds weren’t doing the trick either.
I finally had it and made an appointment with my doctor. As frustrated as I was that it was a virtual appointment, I’m grateful that they are maintaining their policy of “If you have any similar symptoms of Covid, we are unable to allow you into the building for the safety of everyone else.” I have a sore throat (from the post nasal drip), minor cough (from the post nasal drip), congestion/runny nose and chills.
To clarify - I have NOT been anywhere near a person who has Covid. I usually am home but when I do go out, it’s to a local park with one of my dogs (I see other people but I stay at least 30 YARDS away from them and wear my mask), the doctor’s office for the first shot of the Covid vaccine, seeing my oncologist and pulmonologist in person (typically kept on the shorter side but drs are still thorough and go to both on the same day since are both located in the doctor’s office building attached at the local hospital), and going through the drive thru window at my pharmacy. But other than that, I avoid entering buildings. My overall health is not the risk.
Once I get the second dose of the vaccine, it won’t be as effective as it is until 2 weeks after the second dose.
