Yep, got it again this week and presently in isolation. On the upside, we know how to treat it way better than when I had it last time.

I had it in June. Doc gave me medicine that made my mouth taste like burning rubber for a week. Not sure if I was getting better or worse.

When I took paxlovid the world tasted like malort for a week. It was awful.

But it gets rid of Covid within 8 hours. I've never had a cure that worked so fast. It gives you a different set of problems (joint pain, tiredness, some weird tastes) but it doesn't give you heart, lung, or brain damage like Covid. I'll take it.

Yeah, Paxlovid didn't exist the last time I had COVID. The mouth taste off of it is indeed weird, but the fact that I already stopped feeling the brain fog is a huge plus. I was feeling the brain fog for a good month or so after my last infection.

I got it in late July and STILL have it. Both testing positive and with symptoms. Isolating this long has been hell. And I have no idea when it's going to end.

Talk to your doctor, there is rarely any point in isolating after two weeks even if you still test positive.
