so.. instead of the booster i got covid. had a horrible night last night. 102 fever, throbbing headache, fatigue, sore muscles, chills...
and as of yesterday monoclonal antibodies infusions are only available for people over 65 in NYC so I dont qualify. Will have to handle this on my own..
Kinda scared cause I am an at risk group and the high fever at night scared me, but hoping to get through it like last time, with only a few days of discomfort...
Pls wish me luck...

Good luck. If you had your two doses you should be OK. Did I understand correctly that it's your second time?

Did you get it on the airplane? the plane is 18 days ago so I dont think so. Symptomps started 2 days ago and got really bad yesterday. I have no idea where I got it from. I am mostly home and when I do go to the cibema I pick a screening and a seat where there is nobody in several rows from my all ways. I saw both Spiderman and Matrix with less than 15 people in a huge theatre - all distancing. I saw friends for Xmas byt they got tested just before and are feeling fine. So who knows. I wear a N96 mask always and desinfect my hands a lot so like last year - I have No Idea where I got it from. Perhaps in the line to get the booster shot? But thats 10 days ago and was outside. Well who knows. Thank you for keeping me in your prayers it means a lot to me! I dont handle pain and health scares well so any extra hopeful word or words of support works to boost my morale up.

Oof, sorry to hear, Nora. Get well soon. Crazy about the monoclonal rule… When my folks (both under 65) got COVID, they both got the monoclonal and it helped. At the risk of spouting things you’ve probably already heard: Drink lots of water, take vitamins, and get some sun. I know they say don’t exert yourself, and don’t, but do move around and get some sunlight. That helped me. Hoping to hear about a speedy recovery here soon!

Hoping to hear about a speedy recovery here soon! thank you. i feel too weak to move around or go out yet but taking lots of vitamine D suplement. I too feel weird about the rule in a way its a Triage medicine weird that America, the “nr1 in the world” is experiencing it. In my homecountry in europe everyone can get it... Oh well. I pray I wont need it.

What are your symptoms? Night hot flashes? Sure is frustrating not knowing where you got it. How can we learn/improve? My prayers are with you 😘 1. day one of symptoms: persistant headache only 2. day 2 a hedeache and rapid rise of fever to 103 and chills and hotflashes at the same time and also muscle tiredness adds onto the throbbing headache, heart rate rises to insane 140 at rest. 3. day 3 tested positive, fever continues, drops to 101 but not mych lower even though I took various pills. hedeache still continues, pain prevents me from sleeping; thats a second night on almost no sleep. Rapid mood drop. 4. (today) Fever drops to 100, headache still present but now Caughing and chest now hurts a lot when I caugh plus there is wheezing. Btw found out today that when I called the Mother Effing covid19 nyc hotline to find out if I am eligible for mononucleal treatment or antivirotics not only I was told no on account of my age, but today was told that the 4 minute call yesterday (talking to an agent or operator about my eligibility, nothing else, no connection to a dr) was going to cost me 150!!! Apparently! But they dont say that ANYWHERE on any of the sites, they dont warn you when you call the 212Covid19 hotline, the operator also didnt tell me. Just today when I called back AS THEY TOLD ME YESTERDAY, to find out if I am eligible for the antivirotics- they werent sure yesterday- , the operator said (After telling me no u r not eligible), and if i want to be connected to a dr, I said no, she said bill will be semt to me. I asked for what and she said “this call and your call yesterday, it will be 150 per each of thise calls” (under 5 minutes mind you and just finding out I am Not eligible based on 2 simple questions: how old are you and do you have aids/ cancer/ recent organ transplant). Incredible! I am so going to dispute these charges. It really angered me. This could only happen in America I swear.

Norahow very frustrating. Do not worry about the cost. if it helps, it is worth it! We went out on the 21st to get my daughter her booster. We came home and she coughed and coughed. I had/have the worst headache. I don't know what we caught, but those were the only symptoms. We are both fully vaccinated now. I just went to the store and double masked because of your experience. It won't hurt and it may help. Get well, my friend

Incredible! I am so going to dispute these charges. It really angered me. This could only happen in America I swear. I got my booster (Moderna) yesterday... low-grade fever, muscle aches and spasms, sore throat, pain at injection sight, and a migraine, but felt good enough today to go out and cut wood for my woodstove, the Midwest is in a winter weather watch. I see my symptoms as my immune system doing its job. Yours sound very similar, and hopefully, your immune system is well-trained enough, through previous vaccinations, to make this short. You might inquire about convalescent serum, it was used a lot during the beginning when they had little else. I don't know if they are restricting access to that. Fluids, fluids, fluids - do NOT dehydrate! Protein drinks help, with protein and vitamins, if your stomach is upset. I got H1N1 several years back - didn't get vaccinated, like a dummy - it took two weeks of breathing meds and antibiotics to prevent a secondary bacterial pneumonia, but I survived. I will never skip a vaccination again. Take care of yourself, I hope you feel better soon!

The symptoms are developing. Weird. Now my chest hurts more but headache is milder. But I also feel lightheaded/ my head spins when I stand. Will check in with my dr tmr... Best of luck with your post-booster symptoms.
