God I am so over being sick. I’ve basically been sick nonstop for the last month since BabyO started daycare. He was healthy for like a week, 2 tops, and now he’s just a snot monster. Which means I’m a snot monster. And cough. And have my second round of laryngitis. I just want to fucking sleep. And then DS1 got sent home from school for throwing up multiple times today. He just snorts his snot and swallows it so I thought that was all it was but he hadn’t been able to keep anything down. Water - he threw it allll up. I feel so badly for him. And not looking forward to solo parenting all weekend as DH has a work conference he’ll be gone for all weekend. 😢

Sure hoping with all the wedding shit we need to participate in that we don't get covid. Or really not anything. I can't handle sick on top of current pain level. I wear mask but starting to feel silly since numbers are fairly low and I'm only one most places I go. At least last couple colds grandson got he didn't have to go to urgent/er/hospital. when is the wedding? Sometimes it feels like a lost cause wearing a mask. But, I’ve been sick for about a month straight with varying colds and my orientee at work with whom I spend 40+ hours per week for the last 5 weeks with has not gotten sick at all despite my disgusting germy self existing next to her for the majority of our shifts. So, masks work!

I have Covid. So far, it's not as bad as the last time (a couple years ago), but it still sucks.

DS2 has had a chunky sounding cough and congestion for weeks. Basically the entire preschool has. Strep is still making the rounds here, apparently they're seeing mono too, and a stomach bug. 🤞🤞🤞 we don't pick anything up in the last couple days of school

I’m in the sick club too. Crazy bad sore throat started out of nowhere Saturday night. I’ve had a fever in the 101s (I have low body temp and it’s rare for me to get fevers!), terrible ear pain, and chills with body aches. I tested negative for everything at urgent care Sunday, but was up a lot of the night due to throat pain (Tylenol and Advil don’t touch it) so I’m heading back in today.
I just don’t understand where I would have picked this up from. My family hasn’t been sick. It’s so odd. I haven’t been this sick since I had Covid Christmas 2021.

I hope you feel better soon byjove and enchanted byjove did they just do a rapid strep swab or did they do an actual culture? DS2 was the only one to turn a rapid, DS1 and H only got positive results after the culture came back.

I’m also in the sick club. DD had a very mild cold two Fridays ago, then I started to feel sick last Monday. Horrible sore throat and a 101 fever, then by Wednesday I had a cough and shortness of breath so went to the doctor. Tested negative for everything and chest X-ray was clear, but because of my medical history they gave me antibiotics as a precaution plus told me to take my inhaler every 4 hours. Still having the congested cough and crusty nose a week later. So annoying.

kbw my one rapid on Sunday was negative and they said they wouldn’t have the culture until Thursday. I’ve gotten so much worse I went to primary care today and he didn’t bother with the rapid because even if it was negative he’d do a culture and he suspected it might be even strep plus something else and he was going to start me on abx regardless, so we shall see what it turns out! Supposed to have that in 2 days. But my kids aren’t sick. How the heck else would I have gotten step??

Is there anything we can do for you? I need my family to get their act together. DH and DD1 are having extremely difficult goes of it right now and I’m like I can just be sick in peace and not field multiple daily crises, please!?

Thank you all! I feel like crap, but it really isn't as bad as the last time around, which was actually last year, not a couple years ago. (Time truly has no meaning anymore. I could have sworn it was longer ago than last year.)

I might not be around much the next few days, though. Sleep is my best friend right now.

Awful sore throat, heinous dry cough, Unbelievable fatigue. Tested negative for everything. I wound up using my kid's nebulizer and that was the only thing that helped.

MH says you aren't doing pho right of they don't hand you your order in a Costco produce box
