I’ve just finally contracted it for the first time. I’m vaxxed and multiple-times-boosted, so it’s not that bad…
But it’s still pretty fucking miserable. Ugh. The paxlovid seems to be helping some, but in return it’s giving me the most horrendous taste in my mouth. Like a battery fucked a lemon in there.
What worked for you when you caught it, lemmings?
Edit: Holy cats, you guys came through! Thank you all for your various recommendations. The gist of it seems to be:
- Definitely stay on the paxlovid (and use pineapple to deal with the awful taste in my mouth that’s a side-effect).
- Rest. Fucking REST! Do not, under any circumstances, stop resting until it’s run its course. (Fortunately already doing that, since I’ve been feeling half-past dead.)
- Ibuprofen, acetaminophen, and mucinex are my dear, sweet friends. (I’m already a big fan of mucinex, so I have some already.)
- Drink a lot of water. (I have a comically oversized cup I’ve been using for that.)
And I gotta say… Now, as the end of the day approaches, I think I might, just maybe, be feeling a tad better. Thank you all!

The vaccine saved almost 20 million lives in the first year.
The vaccines actually did do a good job of preventing infection and spread initially. But thanks to anti-vaxxers, it had ample opportunity to mutate. So it did.
