I finally caught the stupid thing while in Montana of all places. Pretty mild so far waiting on my doc to call out Paxlovid just to be safe.

---

You caught it on vacation... as a pediatrician?? Man!
What is "mild", exactly? A lot of my friends are getting it I figure I'm probably due.

---

I'm no doctor but after comparison my experience to others I would consider mine mild.

As in, no cough, no fever, no loss of taste/smell, no massive fatigue.

Just runny nose, a bit of sore throat, general tiredness and brain fog.

---

Thanks! Assuming you knew you weren't going to infect anyone, would it have made you change your plans if you were going to do something active/athletic?

---

I would've gone on a walk but that's about as far as I would go. Not keen on wearing down my body when it's fighting a sickness.

I'd say the "post COVID" recovery was worse than actually having COVID.

KidDoc I'm curious if you are on just Paxlovid or Paxlovid and an additional med? Asking because my doctor prescribes Pax in conjunction with one other drug (forget name), and he gave me a real technical reason for it that went completely over my non-medical head.

Paxlovid only. Well and normal OTC stuff like my multivitamin, dayquil and nyquil, afrin, sinus flush.

Systemically I feel fine. The sore throat is pretty bad though. My wife just started with the initial systemic phase this morning which is not surprising.

How many days after you got it did she come down with it?
(my wife was just exposed, so I'm curious!)

I got back in town early morning today (130 am) and woke up early due to pain with swallowing (odyno****ia) so went and got a shot of Dexamethasone from my nurse around 11. Now basically symptom free.

The continued overcaution about COVID is crazy. Between vaccines, paxlovid, and it mutating to weaker but more contagious forms it is less concerning for me and my patient population than flu. At least I should now have robust immunity for football season!

Now you can finally go on with your life. Will your office finally relax all mask mandates?
