Do you work in a service or public job or something? Because that's super unlucky to catch it MULTIPLE times! You guys are real troopers!!

My fever got that high as a reaction to the vaccine, but only got as high as 102 as a reaction to the real thing. Still felt like death, just like you.

That's awful!! Glad he survived, yes? I'm planning on just lazing about until I feel better, though I really do want to get to some house chores eventually. What finger thingy do you mean?

Thankies <3

I had Delta. It lasted like 8 hours I suppose. The symptoms I mean. Really wasn't bad. Took some Ibuprofen and went to bed early. Felt fine in the morning.

I tend to stay sick myself so even if I have a mild strain, I can definitely see myself getting sicker than usual. I also get weird symptoms sometimes so catch up here having fever, cough, aches, chills... and hallucinations or nightmares or a foot rash or some shit.

Covid has fucked my family over a lot (thankfully no one has died).

I have one aunt and uncle who got long covid before vaccines were available (uncle was half naive, half indifferent, not full on denier but one of the "not a big deal" types -_-)

Mother and stepfather have had it at least once. They were both very sick for a while in the months prior to Covid making headlines in the US and speculate that they may have caught it before it was well known. Most recently, they had to miss a long-planned family cruise because they tested positive. The cruise itself was postponed because the original date for it was in the midst of the pandemic and cruises were cancelled. They were better off anyway because half the family that did go on it came back with Covid -_- (thankfully all vaccinated and boosted).

Nieces and nephew all had it at least once, and in all likelihood stepsisters and their partners probably did too. Afaik, no serious symptoms for any of them.

I don't think I've had it, but when I got my booster last winter, I was sick as fuck for like a whole week, which was very unexpected, so it makes me wonder if I went in actually having Covid but asymptomatic and the booster just compounded it. I dunno. Shot 1 (moderna) didn't do anything to me. Shot 2 left me feeling like shit the day I got it but I felt fine after a nap. Booster was only a half dose apparently and I was bedridden for most of a week, so I don't know what that means but it makes me wonder.

These older types are flippant with this stuff. I don't get it. It's like they think they're bullet proof or something.

I kinda know how that feels. While I myself haven't missed anything up to now because I was sick, I did miss things that got cancelled because of the pandemic as a whole. I got my money refunded, but I don't think the thing I was going to see will ever happen again because the group isn't whole anymore. That really bummed me out. I guess if I had gone, I would have come back sick like what happened to your family on that cruise.

It was probably just your immune system overreacting. The COVID vaccine isn't like other vaccines. It doesn't use a weakened or dead version of the virus. It takes a protein from the virus that your immune system can recognize and fights that. It's kinda like a fire drill, only your immune system really thinks you're "on fire" even though the protein can't actually do you any harm. You might have felt like shit, but you were never in any danger.
