Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV)

 

FINALLY!

Day 25 of RSV, after multiple negative Covid and Flu virus checks.  I awoke this AM, naturally, not coughing, for the first time in 25 days!

I'm hopefully on the mend after almost four weeks of coughing!  Only symptoms of a cold were extreme paroxysms of coughing throughout the day and night, and exhaustion from the same.  I'm finally feeling like myself once again.

This was my first cold in three years, having experienced the exact same symptoms in November/December of 2019.  I remember because, at that time, I suspected I may be one of the early Covid sufferers, as no test was yet available.  That cold lasted a little less than four weeks and turned out to be just that, RSV, the common cold, not the flu or Covid.

As of October 2022, I've ben completely Covid vaccinated and boosted, flu vaccinated, Shingles vaccinated and boosted.  A cold I can deal with, the others I hope I don't get.  I know I'm in recovery because I'm beginning to think about cleaning the house!!!!
