was having my ass kicked by covid yesterday, legit felt worse than i did without a vaccine (back in like november of 2020 i think when vaxes werent out yet). had maybe 3 days of symptoms up till then. cue my shock when i go to sleep for 14 hours and wake up feeling awesome. as day goes on im still not 100% but i feel way better. maybe in another 4-7 days i'll be at 100%.

shit dragged on forever on my first run with covid. so my impression is that the vaccine, at least for me, drastically reduced the length of covid but not the severity of it

nowhere else to post this so im doing it here

    Umm hi I just hatched and am still figuring all this out. How did you get HRT to kick off that fast? I'm trying to do research on all this so I can start HRT.

    Also reading your comment gave me a nice gender euphoria hit, so thanks.

    :trans-heart:

      hey, so i usually just absorb drugs real fast. like one shot gets me drunk or like weed in liquid form you keep under your tongue is said to take 4 hours to properly absorb but i do it in 1

      when i first started hrt i took spironolactone 100mg and 4mg estradiol sublingual which is pretty standard

        Okay thanks! Fingers crossed then! Was spiro gnarly to get used to? I'm kind of nervous about how much it supposedly makes you pee because I'm already on some meds that do that. 😓

          i was on some other diuretics and it made me pee a little bit more but it wasnt super noticeable. just gotta stay hydrated and eat sodium

          i had some complications with spiro later but ive got a weird body so youll probably be fine xD
