Day 5 of illness. Was hoping to get back to work today but I can't in all good conscience sit at my desk and hack and choke around my coworkers

Same, RSV hit the last family member yesterday.

My covid test was negative and the symptoms don't quite line up with flu so I'm thinking that's what I have, but not 100% sure obviously

Same. I'm on day 6 and it's fucking miserable. Coughing up a storm nonstop. Parents are supposed to visit on Thursday and we have a bunch of tickets to shoes and restaurant restaurant reservations so it just all around sucks. COVID test was negative.

Yeah I keep cycling between feeling like I'm recovering and then right back to feeling like death. I've taken so much cold medicine and pain relief its crazy

Well at least you're staying active by cycling and not driving between the two.

My puns occur naturally as the conversations progress; they're rare, wild, organic, foraged. Their puns, though strong, are artificial, manufactured, like a cut diamond; set up and knocked down in a single comment.

The pun market is strong enough to sustain us both and many others, but our products should not be considered similar.

l wonder if we have the same thing? I'm on day 6. Fever, headache, body ache turned into a horrible hacking cough and raw throat. Not covid or flu!

Strep is always an option too! I was surprised how high my kiddo’s fever went with strep. RSV is super rough and there’s some sickness that’s not Covid, RSV, or strep that has MEGA congestion—like a cold on steroids. I hope y’all feel better soon.

I have this! The person I got it from was tested for the flu, rsv and Covid and they’re all negative. It’s just a really bad cold that turns into bronchitis. It hurts to cough.

Sounds similar if not the same. There seem to be multiple viruses going around right now

As someone in same situation it is more than likely the flu. I haven’t felt this sick in years. Fever, cough, congestion. PSA for those who haven’t gotten the flu shot yet it’s not too late.

Could definitely be the flu. I agree with you about the flu shots. When people say "oh it's just the flu" they're really downplaying how severe influenza can be

I was finally diagnosed with a double ear infection and potentially pneumonia today. I got some antibiotics. So I got that going for me.

I seem to be recovering but with a cough that flares up with even the slightest exertion. I really hope it doesn't linger for weeks as I'd like to life weights again
