I came up here last Saturday, felt fine. On Tuesday, I felt tired during the day, took a longer nap than usual. Wednesday, I was __really__ tired, slept four+ hours in afternoon, had a brief cough and some congestion in my lungs.
Last night when I got off the air, my voice was raspy. Water didn't help.
This morning, I woke up with a sore throat. No, not from snoring. I also feel tired.
This afternoon, I'm at my desk and I feel cold. I look at the thermostat, it's up at 73 . . . there's no reason at all for me to feel cold . . . . unless . . . . I took my temperature: 99.5. Low grade fever, especially because I generally run cool, in the 97 degree range.
Exact same sequence of events I had a couple months ago, starting all over again.
Now, I take Vitamin D3, and Vitamin K2. I take Zinc and Quercetin. I take Co-Enzyme Q-10. I take a CENTRUM multi-vitamin. I take NAC and Bromeline (Made from Pineapple). There is no reason at all that I should be catching this. But clearly, I have it again.
The last time, I waited before taking Augmentin, and by waiting, this thing knocked me down but good, with a 102.1 fever around day 7 or 8. Maybe I should take the hint and start taking it now?
ARRRRRGGGGGHHHHHHH.
I don't do anything that would expose me to being sick. OK, I go to the Supermarket, or to the local Walmart if I need something. But I'm not in close contact with people in general. Not in big crowds up here in PA. I don't get why I'm getting sick again.
Very frustrating.
Oh, and I did NOT get any of those phony COVID Vaccines, so my immune system is not compromised at all.
UPDATE, SATURDAY 8:04 AM EST --
Last night when I got off my radio show, my fever had spiked to 101 degrees. I took one Amoxicillin Clauvenate 875 mg antibiotic pill and went directly to bed.
Tossed and turned a lot. Developed a cough, but it subsided enough to sleep.
Woke up this morning, NO FEVER! 98.9 degrees.
STILL HAVE SOME COUGHING.
Took another Amoxicillin Clauvenate 875mg at 8:00 this morning. Should have waited until 10:00 but took it two hours early.
This is precisely how it went the last time I got sick, and after a single day of no fever back then, I got walloped on day 7 with a fever of 102.1 which literally knocked me down.
I don't know if this is the same bug as last time, it sure feels like it and the symptoms are almost identical.
But for now, no fever and I'm working . . . .
SATURDAY NIGHT 7:00 PM --
Fever is coming back. Took another Amoxicillin Clav. 875mg. I'm going to bed. VERY tired.
