zackster Noro. Our oldest former president’s been hospitalized for a week over it now. I think she will croak.

      Homegrove In the year after I had covid, I got sick twice (basically the only two times I was out in a large crowd). I was rarely sick before and thankfully, I’ve got 15 months without picking up anything since. Felt like I was made of glass for a while, but that seems to have turned around for me.

      I’m going to credit all the running I’ve been doing for keeping me healthy. There’s a thought that when your mitochondria are more efficient at producing energy and doing so at higher volumes, it makes it easier for your immune system to fight illness.

          Homegrove it was absolutely fucking awful. I seriously thought about going to the hospital on the first night. Took 7 days to recover and even the next seven were no picnic.

            Was this shortly after lockdown? Everyones immune system was weakened after lockdown to be fair.

                SM001 Especially after all the gear and midweek boozing.

                  Hursty yeah don’t think so. You don’t a cold from drinking, you get a hangover. Plus my first symptoms (a sore ass throat) were on Sunday upon waking, it was just a few hours after my last pint. Nothing’s that fast.

                      SM001 Got covid in Jan 2022, sick again in September and December. I had some shortness of breath and fatigue for about 4 months post covid too. I think it just took time for my immune system to recover.

                      Homegrove If you were already exposed to something, drinking will easily weaken your immune system enough to show symptoms that quickly. Especially when combined with a lack of sleep.

                            303abuser yeah that certainly makes sense. If it was that it was a bit rapid response. Something out of The Stand.

                                Homegrove That’s probably what got me in 2022. Once was a techno night, the other was the World Cup, both with way too much alcohol.

                                  Had a couple too many shandies lads?

                                  Get a fucking grip.

                                  Lots of fancy words for what everyone else just calls the sniffles.

                                  Norovirus = tummy ache
                                  COVID-19/flu = the sniffles

                                  Sake

                                  Can’t be worse than the comedian after a two day session after eating numerous tablets and sniffing K.
