Suffering my first cold since pre-covid. Long covid damage to my lungs
means I am struggling to breath, especially at night. It's a bit scary,

Pass atishoo.

SWMBO and I were joking about 'Machu Picchu', followed up by 'Bless

SWMBO and I have both had our covid jabs.
I reacted to it, running a high temp around 12 hours after injection &
it lasted for maybe 6 hours. SWMBO didnt react at all - except having a
sore arm.

To me, that means my immune system is doing its wbo, whilst hers isn't
up to scratch. She doesn't see it that way.

I've never had a noticeable reaction to either Covid or 'flu vaccine.
The only time I've ever had a reaction to a jab was to Typhoid - my
upper arm was quite sore and hot-feeling for a day.

I had covid and flu one in each arm - after a few hours it became
clear that they've taken to using a centre punch instead of a hypodermic.

It might mean that - or it might mean that hers was well stocked
with suitable white cells which promptly devoured the training wheels
without much fuss while yours was running low and went into flat out
overdrive mode. But that could be a load of testy culls 'cos I'm only
guessing.

Had my first flu jab ever a couple of weeks ago. Got a bad cold a week
later, again first since before covid. Just recovering now, two weeks later.

I had my covid and flu jabs about a month ago. No reaction. But two
week's for a cold? Makes you wonder whether it is a cold at all, at all.

In the days when the tetanus vaccine was 3 injections, with some delay
between each, the first 2 injections gave no major problem. On the third
no problem for 6 days but on the seventh my whole arm swelled up like a
balloon, my elbow looked like a bend in a drain pipe. It was painful.
That was overnight before my 'A' level Chemistry practical exam!

I have had the Typhoid vaccination 3 times. Twice it gave me a 24 hour
high fever and a very sore arm. The third time nothing more than a
touch of local tenderness. When I mentioned this to my doctor he told me
that the high fever was probably the paratyphoid element of the
vaccination and they no longer included it in the vaccination.

I have had flu once within hours of the flu jab. I was probably going to
have flu and the vaccination was probably not the culprit.

For the last 35 years I have had a flu jab and that was the only time
that I had anything more than local tenderness.

I have lost count of my Covid vaccinations but I have nothing to report
of problems, ditto for SWMBO. We have both had a very mild case of
COVID; we both had slightly raised temperatures for just 24 hours. SWMBO
was not infectious after 4 days. It took me 3 weeks to be clear of
infection.

Much the same here. I react to covid jabs (but not 'flu) but SWMBO doesn't.

COVID lasts about as long as a cold for most people. (A week to gestate,
a week of symptoms and a week of recovery) There are, though so many
variations of the "cold" virus that you can catch them one after the
other with no change in your symptoms.

AIUI the cold viruses do not change very often and, unlike with flu and
covid, once you have had a particular virus it is unlikely that you will
have noticeable symptoms caused by that particular virus. They do change
but slowly. From memory, there are about 100 cold virus strains so a
child always seems to have the sniffels until immunity has been built
up to each strain. At 75 it is a long time since I have had a full blown
cold.

It is a while since I had a bout of flu, however I mostly put that down
to yearly vaccinations.

"Où sont les neiges d'antan?"

Just into week two now (although it seems like month two). So, probably
two more weeks to go. Hopefully I'll be okay for Christmas. The X^6 and
I are booked into a hotel for the season.

No let up in any of the symptoms. My stomach and chest muscles ache with
coughing. I'm on my fifth snot and phlegm filled kitchen roll. I'm going
to have to buy two new pillows to replace the snot filled ones. I'm out
of breath the second I stand up. And depression is setting in.

Covid test arrives today, though I think it will be negative.

Had a covid and flu jabs about a month ago. Fat lot of good they did!

Begs the question - what are flu and cold viruses for? Are they top of
the food chain? Is that the whole sum of our human existence, to host
flu viruses?

Answers on a snot rag to.......
