    Ugh, I’m not looking forward to this… I just caught it for the first time. I really hope that the effects don’t linger for me.

      so I got out of the woods pretty fast. I was symptomatic on friday, tested positive on saturday. I was asymptomatic by Tuessay and testing negative on Wednesday.

      I also have a high amount of vaccinations, and was using NONS (Nitric Oxide Nasal Spray) from the day I got infected through the entire infection.

      My wife, who wasn’t going into risky places like I was, wasn’t usung the NONS until I tested positive, so probably two days post infection.

      Her illness took about 5 days longer to subside, and she was testing positive at 12 days from first positive test. She couldnt read at one point, saying the words on her phone were all jumbled together. It was really frightening. She’s still unable to do much, and winds up wiped out after walking maybe 100-150m and needs a short rest.

      Its steadily improving, but she’s very concerned about it.
