It has been really interesting to see how people have responded, learning that I have Covid. My own reaction was of shock and concern for my family after doing some more research about Omicron that my fears subsided. Because the Omicron Variant is mild compared to the first strain of Covid-19 and the Delta Variant. I am following my doctor’s recommendations, and I’m doing just fine.

When I started to inform my friends and family. Some of them thought I was going to be hospitalized, fighting for my life. Not what I wanted to hear, being at the sickest point with Covid. All it did was stress me out!

After that I decided not to get stressed out or worry about what might happen; I choose to focus on what I could do. I monitored my symptoms and after my fever broke I am getting better.

I have been getting my rest, taking over-the-counter medicine, and the biggest that has helped is taking my inhalers.

I’m gonna keep this post short because I’m still not feeling well. I am improving, slowly. Anyway, I want to explain why what is going on.

For most of September, I have been dealing with a lot of mucus caused by my sinuses. It is also ragweed season where I live, and I was exposed to someone who was sick with something. So it is a combination of the perfect sickness storm.

I went to urgent care about a week ago, and I was tested for Covid and the flu which were both negative. After a few days after my visit, then I called and made an appointment with my primary doctor. And she decided that she wanted to test me for Covid again. I’m still waiting for the results from that test but I also believe that that test will also be negative as well.

If I would’ve treated my early symptoms of a sinus infection by having antibiotics in the beginning I would not be this bad. That’s my own fault. But the reason I was hesitant was because of all of the Covid protocols. But I have learned my lesson on that. And now it’s just gonna take some time to get the mucus out of my chest and to get back to my normal.

Update: My second Covid test was negative.
