I'm getting my booster and flu shot today, just under 90 days out from COVID. I've been pretty sick with each shot so hopefully my kids don't ruin my plans of doing nothing tomorrow. I have felt like garbage after every one. This one still sucked, but not quite as bad and only for 12 hours instead of 36 like normal. |

Got both shots! I forgot my vaccine papers again but was able to find a picture of it on my phone. 🤦🏻♀️
AND OF COURSE, my kid’s daycare is short staffed and is open for a shorter day tomorrow. 🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️

Some insurances are only offering reimbursements, but I figure it's worth looking into. This winter is going to be rough all around. We're supposed to only get reimbursed, but I've been able to successfully order 8 tests each month from CVS (they're 1/box here) Unfortunately there are 5 of us, so we should be entitled to 40 tests, but because we all have the same member number it only works once, and I haven't tried to actual reimbursement process because it's a PITA (mail in the barcodes and forms individually for everyone) but I'm sure it was to discourage people from doing it I tried to get some with the girls numbers after they filled mine, but it didn't work. Our numbers are mostly the same but with -0#. I'm assuming the insurance company is shutting it down. My mother tried and was only able to get 4 tests at a time. |

I’m pretty achey and tired more than 24 hrs out :/ Advil helps, and it’s not as bad as previous shots. |

They are never open it feels like. They actually had a pretty good run for a while but then a bunch of the staff got COVID and there’s another illness going around at the same time (my kid’s had both). But my sweet sweet finger sucking child picks up every single thing so it’s mostly been his fault. Either way, my life sucks. |

I would just like to say whatever virus is out there that’s not Covid sucks. I’ve been hacking for over a week now and my throat is sore. I’m going to have to relent to going to be seen if it’s not better soon.

I’ve been able to order my 8 free Covid tests/month through the mail-order pharmacy service my insurance has - via their website. It’s super easy.
And then I get DH’s on his separate insurance through the CVS website and pick them up in the store. I’ve been stocking up the last couple months so we have a bunch on-hand for the winter.

I’m going to have to relent to going to be seen if it’s not better soon. If we hadn't had a known covid positive in the house I would think I had a mystery virus too. I'm still coughing and it's been almost 6 weeks since my presumed positive. It's definitely much better than it was though, and the recent spike in ragweed probably isn't helping. |

I’m still hacking up nasty stuff too and it’s day 12 here 😫 |

It is not offered for children or otherwise healthy adults, but we also flu isn't as common here. Like it's medically fine i don't get it here, it's just disconcerting from all the years of get your flu shot!!! |

My hospital dropped the mask requirement and testing of patients who are not symptomatic. I've been dreading this. Ugh.

I'm feeling achy and weak but not miserably so. At 7:01 I got up to get the kids out of bed and at 7:02 my husband asks me, while still laying in bed, why I'm up. Um, because the children are up. He let me go back to bed and got both kids out of the house and brought me breakfast with an actually hot cup of coffee.

The twitter epidemiologists I've been following on twitter have been relatively mum on this. Burnout? Also waiting for YLE to do a post! I can't believe we are getting info from CNBC before her. |
