The good news is that my vaccine seems to be doing a good job of keeping my case less severe. I don't feel too bad really, and the "test" line on my at home test got really really dark right away, which apparently means there were lots of antigens in my sample.

The bad news is I was supposed to play board games with my friends this weekend and now I can't go. :deeper-sadness:

ETA: When I made this post I was mostly just whining and not really expecting anyone to respond, but you guys responded with so much good advice and encouragement. This truly is the best place on the internet. I wish I could give you all a great big hug. :meow-hug:

And if this is all an elaborate prank by one fed with 1,000 alts, don’t tell me, I don’t wanna know. :comfy:

    Oh no, I'm so sorry to hear that! The dread of long-term effects is definitely haunting me. On the other hand, I already have frequent migraines and it's been so long since I've seen a doctor, if I end up with any heart problems, I'll never know if it was preexisting :joker-dancing:

      now is not the time to worry about it, fren

      best thing is to focus on resting and take your recovery slow. dont rush back into things its a new illness and you need to let your body recover
