I’ve just finally contracted it for the first time. I’m vaxxed and multiple-times-boosted, so it’s not that bad…

But it’s still pretty fucking miserable. Ugh. The paxlovid seems to be helping some, but in return it’s giving me the most horrendous taste in my mouth. Like a battery fucked a lemon in there.

What worked for you when you caught it, lemmings?

    Paxlovid is the way. I was similar to you. I had one day of fevers and then felt like I had a bad cold for a few days. Vaccines are fucking awesome. Drink lots of water.

      I have what can only be described as a “flagon” of water next to my bed. I’ve emptied it like five times today.

      Yeah, paxlovid is the only real answer. Makes you taste metal, but it’s a miracle drug for knocking out covid symptoms. Depending on where you live, you can ‘test to treat’ where if you test positive they give you a prescription for free (or cheap).

      It also probably reduces chances of long covid.
