Girlfriend Diagnosed With Covid

[Isilwen]

So, my girlfriend was diagnosed with Covid this morning. She was exposed at work by a co-worker. I also now have direct exposure through her. I don't have any symptoms, at least I don't think that I do as many of the symptoms of Covid, at least the Omicron variant as some of the same things I deal with on a regular basis.

I think my tell-tale sign will be a nasty-sounding persistent cough. I cough now, but it's infrequent and due to my asthma.

She's got a horrible persistent cough, stuffy runny nose, sneezing, body aches, and headache. No fever though.

How do you know it is coming, have you both taken a test?

She has, I haven't. However, I don't think that I have said it is coming, only that my tell-tale sign would be the persistent cough.

What's the reason behind people getting tested?.

When you are sick, do you know go to a doctor to get diagnosed to see what you have so that you can be treated to feel better?

I can just get some cold and flu medicine from the chemist or pharmacy if I wanted. I don't need to see a doctor if I got mild symptoms. If I started getting really sick I would go straight to hospital.

That's you. We prefer knowing what we might have so that a target treatment can be used.

Her best friend was also sick and tested negative for Covid, so her treatment was different. Her job also needed to know what it was so that they could allow my girlfriend time off from work without counting it against her since with Covid around, the attendance policy changed. Same with my work. I receive points if I am absent from work. If I have Covid, I do not receive points.

So what's the treatment for covid?

For her they gave her prednisone and ibuprofen. Since I haven't been tested yet, I haven't been treated.

I hope she gets better soon. Have you asked her if there is anything you can do for her today?. I'm sure you are a supportive person. These are the times that matter and are a test.

Since she stayed at my apartment and took care of me after I had my gall bladder out, so I am here at her place taking care of her. She is currently sleeping in her room and my dog woke me up while I was sleeping on the couch, that is why I'm on my phone at 3:54 am here in the states.

Going to close my eyes and try and get some more sleep.

I will be praying for you Isilwen and your girlfriend .

Quick update.

We both feel like a Mack truck hit us. We feel better and then the next day feels worse again. Today feels like we took one step forward and three steps back.

Praying that they don't do to her what they did to her coworker and force her to go into work after the "five" days when she feels the way that she does.

I went and got tested this morning. I am Covid positive and have borderline Covid pneumonia.

Hopefully you can recover and it doesn't get worse.

Praying the symptoms will leave soon and that it isn't covid. My husband had it in November and it was pretty horrible. My family down in Texas have it right now.

That can be scary. My wife had Covid pneumonia and almost went on a vent. When it turns to pneumonia, it's time to take it seriously.
I am sure they have you on a stronger steroid than prednisone and I'm suspecting they put you on an anti-viral?

How are you coming along?
