Called my GP to get in , nothing until 2nd week of September… They suggested Urgent Care. Spent 5 hours at urgent care Monday, getting sicker by the second and finally gave up.
Healthline came through with some antivirals and such finally.
I have to force food down. No nausea thankfully, but i have the fluttery feeling in my stomach and a fuzzy brain. I’m Hangry at this point, but the simple act of dry toast is a goddamn mission. I’m dealing with a massive lack of energy during the day, and crippling insomnia at night.
This is the first time I have had any kind of illness since before the pandemic. I’m still Covid-Zero, but the bog standard Flu A is brutal.
