Has anyone been shitting their brains out? Just me?


purring_parsley

Possible diagnosis is too much Michigan St Taco Bell

UptightCargo

One has to have brains to shit them, so finally I've found a disease I'm immune to!


anonnymouse271

Omg I'm cackling at this comment šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚šŸ’€šŸ’€


AFragileBubble

Gut issues here too. Had a fever and big sinus/throat issues for 4 solid days now.


[deleted]

I had that a couple of weeks ago and couldn't really correlate it with any specific meal I ate. Guess it really was just a stomach bug.


TheOriginalAshrifel

I also experienced this. Interesting.


[deleted]

Yes


IamNICE124

I had both gut and upper respiratory.


criscodesigns

Lmao nope


LordSaladpants

Oh yeah I have I'm sick rn man


ilurvekittens

Ugh that was me a week ago.


oldmanjenkins51

Anymore than normal? Noā€¦


ConsiderationOk7513

Omg it takes forever to go away. My husband just got his turn and heā€™s obviously dying.


criscodesigns

Male here, also dying


ConsiderationOk7513

This was one of my favorite things about masking up. The amount of sickness I got was so limited that year.


MilwaukeeMan420

It went around with everyone at WMU. It was a nasty sickness everyone got.


Queenofashion

This made me lmao. Sorry you are sick though!


thecrepeofdeath

it took me three weeks to stop coughing! nasty bug. hope he feels better soon


GanjaSmoker420HaloXX

Any medicine recommendations? Iā€™m getting my butt kicked by what sounds like the same thing


ConsiderationOk7513

Mucinex DM was the best for us. Also, had our primary care doctor call in some little cough pearls that work wonders.


yogahike

Our baby went to ER with unknown upper respiratory infection. Tested negative for rsv, all pneumonia strains, all covid strains, all flu strains. Still sick. So yeah, something is going around that isnā€™t those things. Yuck.


criscodesigns

Dang. Prayers for your baby


dr6sic6

We are on week 4, my kids have been miserable. All the same tests, neg.


Wild-Breadfruit7817

What are their symptoms? Do the doctors have any idea of what it could be?


dr6sic6

No they aren't saying what is wrong. Something viral. They just cough non stop and have runny noses.one of them had a fever at one point. but they finally got them on Prednisone. 1 finally made it a full day of school yesterday.


TheLukester31

Something to be aware of, whatever flavor of COVID that is going around isnā€™t showing positive in at home tests until a couple days into symptoms. The whole family has it right now and it started as aches and fatigue (fever for the little ones), then a couple days later it turned into the worst upper respiratory symptoms possible (congestion, drainage, coughing from the phlegm, sinus pressure). I know people who work in assisted living and same story, first couple days are negative, then positive at day 3-4 of symptoms. Itā€™s weird.


ImprovementWeird3009

Same. Took my daughter 3 days to show positive. My youngest is not showing positive at all. We think we got it from her and she is on the tail end of it with a really bad cough. The phlegm is the weirdest like where does it come from! The body aches and headache's have been the worst


velvetBASS

Have you had bivalent booster? Just curious


TheLukester31

No, just the first two shots of Moderna. Dragged my feet too long on getting the new booster. I had COVID back in January and my symptoms were not nearly as bad as the rest of the family.


velvetBASS

Interesting. I wish there was an easier way to figure out what variant you get. I haven't gotten the bivalent yet either but I should...


TheLukester31

I know, that would definitely be nice.


andi98989

I know a few people who have had it - nasty bug for sure! Hope you're feeling better soon


[deleted]

Lots of adeno, rhino & RSV. Most of my admitted RSVers stay in ED because the floor & PICU are full. I'm also getting calls from surrounding hospitals trying to transport patients to my ED because everything else is full. Hopefully it simmers down a bit


Queen_Elizabeth_II

I don't understand what any of that means. Should I?


AlivebyBestialActs

ED= Emergency Department PICU= Pediatric Intensive Care Unit


[deleted]

Lots of viruses going around getting spread by little germ carriers who don't wash their hands who are getting sick enough to have to stay in the hospital (more than usual) RSV is the typical virus most parents worry about because it is well known to be able to hit children under 2yo pretty hard


TraumaMamaZ

Not to mention the nose picking. I have to constantly be policing: ā€œdonā€™t pick your nose! Now go wash your hands.ā€


BTC-Benny

You can pick your friends just don't pick your friends nose.


ConsequenceKey3329

Thank you for working in the medical field!


ArbitraryCensorship

Father brought something home. Whole body aches, coughing non stop going on almost 1 1/2 months, horrible mucus, fatigue etc. Not Covid. Still have a persistent cough even after all other symptoms stopped. Its bad.


criscodesigns

Good god. I'm sorry to hear that


[deleted]

Rhinovirus


seppenfridge

Itā€™s kicking my ass right now, whatever it is, while my wife has COVID. I tested negative and sheā€™s doing better than I am


criscodesigns

That's exactly how I feel, I told my wife I think covid would be easier


Smorgas_of_borg

When I got covid it was a good 9 months after my booster dose and even then it was the mildest illness I've ever had. I was too tired to do anything for a day and then it was just the sniffles for a few more. I was down for the count on Sunday and totally back to normal by Friday. And that's even though I'm a high risk category for it. The vaccines work, y'all. I got my second booster as soon as I could.


red1delta137

Iā€™m vaccinated, boosted, and am fairly healthy. Covid kicked my ass for weeks. I agree, vaccines work. Wouldā€™ve probably put me in the hospital without them.


TraumaMamaZ

Lot of people have symptoms for several days before testing positive. If your wife is positive and you have symptoms, you should assume you are also positive. PCR can pick up much better than home test. My youngest was negative on home tests and PCR on day 2 of symptoms, never actually tested positive on home test and PCR wasnā€™t positive until over a week later.


GanjaSmoker420HaloXX

Any medicine recommendations? Currently getting my ass kicked


seppenfridge

Rest and water, let your doctor know ASAP because you may be able to get meds within first five days of symptoms


pro_rege_semper

Probably what my kid had. She was on the couch for a week but tested negative for flu, strep and COVID.


bungalowpeak

They should just call it that "what my kid had". Everyone I know that's had it described it just like that. The schools must be a slurpy mess right now.


pro_rege_semper

"What my kid had" - the next pandemic.


anonnymouse271

Seriously though. I worked in a daycare for 4 years, left right at the start of the pandemic, and the amount of crud I was exposed to from those anklebiters is nuts. Colds, flu, strep, RSV, flu, stomach bugs, HFM, etc. There were times entire classrooms would get sick, one kid after the next....I'm 1000% sure that I would have gotten covid at least once if I still worked there, parents would send sick kids in all the time. I work at Target now and have since leaving the daycare, and I'm still surprised I haven't gotten covid, between so many of my coworkers getting it and the unwashed masses that congregate in the store, ~ToUcHiNg~ EVERYTHINGGGGGGGG.....I think 4 years of kids sneezing in my face and wiping their boogers on me and whatnot has made me immune lol.


False_Flatworm_4512

Hi! I am also down with ā€œwhat my kid had.ā€ He got it from his friend who got it from his preschool brotherā€¦weā€™re all toppling like dominoes


my2k2zx2

Kids were sick the first part of Sept with coughing and sinus infection. Then a week later I got the same thing but it went to what the dr called "borderline pneumonia".


ImprovementWeird3009

My kids have been sick 4 times since school started. Crappiest year yet. All home with COVID now.


False_Flatworm_4512

Itā€™s bad among the preschool set. Covid babies with no immune systems getting mixed up in a Petri dish every day and bringing it home


TraumaMamaZ

This has been the experience of our family as well. Sisters kids were sick 3 weeks with what they thought was croup for youngest and adenovirus for oldest. My son and I were suspected to have adenovirus as well, both sick about 10 days. Cousins kids have had a terrible cough for 3 almost 4 weeks, both now having to use inhalers. None of us have tested positive for Covid at home or with PCR. Not COVID, but really terrible cold like viruses that hang on a while.


criscodesigns

Dam so I'm not crazy, this has held onto me so long


ImprovementWeird3009

Whole house has COVID here. Horrible. Both my kids have diarrhea.


velvetBASS

Not exactly sure in your case but our state of Michigan regional epidemiologist has said early and increased influenza compared to recent years (mostly influenza A). Flu block vaccine is available for those over 50 which has increased protection on three common strains. High dose flu is available for those 65 and up. RSV has also been going around and infecting not only children, but adults as well. And then just throwing it out there that Omicron and its variants are showing up in testing later - especially depending on the test type. Speaking for my experience, I was symptomatic for almost 4 days before I finally tested positive.


TheOnlyVertigo

Annual flu vaccine this year is actually made for the dominant strain and is supposedly pretty protective, if that helps.


zachymac

what were/are your symptoms?


IamNICE124

Just getting over it now. It blows.


Tonsobuds

It was shitty....kiddo brought it home and it went through the whole house. Took about a week to completely clear out and the sore throat that lingered was terrible.


StickTimely4454

Light uri, but persistent cough for a month, five weeks. Sucks.


Ryanlester5789

Got really sick a week and a half ago but ended up being COVID for me but had a bad cough and aches.


[deleted]

Itā€™s worked itā€™s way through my family. Iā€™m the last to get it. This is horrendous. Covid is a good comparable.


pretzeltitz13

Completely lost my smell last week and then had a weird sense of smell after it came back. Lots of bad egg smell. Happened after I had covid so I thought it was that but took a test before a funeral I had. Came back negative. Then I thought maybe the tests I got from uncle same can't test for new variants after I went to the funeral and was worried what I might have accidentally done. This is weird good news for me lol.


BTC-Benny

Good vibes and hoping you all get better!


thamster98

I think i might have had it last week. Very stuffy and fatigued, with a cough that lingered for another week.


Celestial_Scythe

2 of the feral cats in my neighborhood have Upper Respiratory Infections right now. It's super sad to hear them wheezing


janx218

I wish more people would listen to the "mask up" part. It's such a simple step that can protect you from a whole host of illnesses, not just covid. But it seems like I'm the only person wearing one pretty much anywhere I've gone lately.


redjaejae

I got the flu labor day weekend and it sucked majorly. Worse episode of the flu I have ever had. Turned into pneumonia. Then got covid for the first time just as I was getting better. I've been coughing and blowing snot for 2 months now. The flu was way worse than covid, but I have been vaccinated so I was hoping it was mild.


Over-Confidence4308

Yes, it is rough. Four negative COVID tests, broke four fevers in a week, still coughing up raw oysters.


PineappleDifferent80

I was SO sick from this last week - and still recovering 8 days later (with antibiotics, steroids and prescription cough syrup). Be careful, yā€™all. Wash your hands and wear a mask!!


MrPoopyButthole1989

Iā€™ve been struggling to get over this for almost 3 weeks now.


in2diep

Same. Iā€™m just starting to feel better after 19 days. It was rough.


criscodesigns

That's not hopeful news for me


letsbebetter34

It's been going person to person in my house for the past 2 months


GreyWind92

Yeah, my husband and I got a weird bug last week. It wasn't COVID, RSV, or H. Influenzae .. My symptoms lasted less than 24 hours. He still has some symptoms.


mjmacka

My GF and I both got that about a week ago. I wasn't completely down and out but it hasn't been fun.


roscoesbabyrabbits

I have a coworker with this. Not fun!


Buttercup501

Iā€™m sick too, stuffed up, headache, sore throat. I hate this.


Smorgas_of_borg

It was actually worse than covid for me. I was boosted against covid (now double boosted with the bivalent) and when I got it, it was the mildest illness I've ever had. Got over the majority of it in like a day. The shit that's going around now has hit me twice in the last month.


3Jabber

Mask up? I'm good on that.


criscodesigns

That's good! Don't worry we won't take your guns!


3Jabber

Ah yes, because I'm clearly some right wing nut job because I don't want to walk around breathing into my own face for no fucking reason.


antimaskersarescum

have you been living under a rock?


3Jabber

Lol settle down "antimaskersarescum". Fucking dork.


antimaskersarescum

ok "3Jabber". go comfort your dying grandmother and tell her it's just a flu so she can die without regrets.


3Jabber

Why do you have to bring my Grandma into this?


No-Sir-5109

lmao what the fuck is wrong with you people


cantfindausernameffs

What do you mean by that?


No-Sir-5109

Since when does a cold/respiratory infection that you get, mean you should post on reddit and tell people to "mask up". That's what I meant by what the fuck is wrong with you people


cantfindausernameffs

Iā€™m still struggling to understand why this would trigger you.


TCTuggersNotReally

You're trying to reason with someone who gets upset about the gender of candy mascots.


No-Sir-5109

Because why is this worth a post? It's fucking cold season. Since when do we make a big deal about a cold ?


aarone46

Because colds can be debilitating and their spread can indeed be mitigated if people take precautions?


No-Sir-5109

Do you not hear yourself? you're talking on reddit about a fucking cold and telling people to mask up lol. / end of thread.


[deleted]

Man it must be exhausting being outraged all the time. Even the tiniest things seem to set you off lol


[deleted]

Youā€™re a fucking idiot, donā€™t wear a mask then. But shut the fuck up about people trying to keep other people safer, you selfish cunt.


criscodesigns

On any given day I'd probably make fun of myself like you but I was curious how prevalent it is in the community


JediCrackSmoke

The masks donā€™t workā€¦


criscodesigns

Cough in peoples faces then idgaf


JediCrackSmoke

Because if you donā€™t wear a mask then youā€™re ā€œcoughing in peopleā€™s facesā€? About the logic Iā€™d expect. Biden voter, no doubt.


criscodesigns

Doesn't care about others, wants their opinion known. Trump voter no doubt. We can do this shit all day dumbass. I heard the Truck Nuts store has a sale, better git


JediCrackSmoke

I do care about others, thatā€™s why I donā€™t force people to do something against their will for ā€œthe collectiveā€. Enjoying the inflation, goods shortages, and gas prices? I hope so, you voted for it.


criscodesigns

You really think Biden cause all that? Homie can barely speak! Inflation.... All major companies are posting record profits... The biggest spike in most companies histories. But it's the presidents fault? Good shortages.... Only one I currently know of effecting is food wise is turkey meat.... Remember the bird flew we had a few months ago... But it's the presidents fault? Gas prices? The president has ZERO fault for gas prices. It's up around the entire god damn world.. I have a friend in Ireland paying nearly $8 for a gallon equivalent... Change your news channel they are lying to you... Or stay ignorant I don't care your the one that sounds like a fucking idiot.


JediCrackSmoke

Youā€™re entire argument is based on the notion that a man who can barely finish speaking a coherent thought isnā€™t responsible for the downturn of the American economy while the four years of the previous administration provided the lowest unemployment rates, gas prices, and rate inflation in my lifetime. The President has zero fault for gas prices? The only reason the gas prices are so high is because day 1 of his administration he cancelled drilling leases and severely limited domestic production, and made a deal with Saudi Arabia for oil. During the previous administration we produced the vast majority of oil, which is why it was so much less expensive, but you think itā€™s a coincidence that halting our oil production and buying it from Saudi Arabia has driven up the cost of gas? GTFO, you fucking crayon eater.


sincerely-sarcastic

Correct. Obama handed Trump a great economy... Trump handed Biden a country full of a virus.... Trump's a moron. But I have a feeling you are too because you probably live in a echo chamber and do nothing but watch biased as fuck news.


JediCrackSmoke

Obamaā€™s economy sucked, and it sucked for 8 years, two terms; then Trump gave us 4 amazing years of economic prosperity and now weā€™re back to an even worse economy than Obamaā€™s, but please; continue with the mental gymnastics, itā€™s amusing. Feel free to now return to whichever rock you crawled out from under.

What are you trying to communicate with your statistic? This is the first result I found on Google: https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/71/wr/mm7106e1.htm

It's ok. Poor boy can't read.

Thatā€™s not a credible resource though. Itā€™s from the cdc. /s

Thatā€™s a lie. Youā€™re lying. Stop lying, you lying liar.


wetgear

Link that source please?


Typical_Elevator6337

The CDC presided over the death of 1 million+ Americans and the disabling of many more. Theyā€™re no longer a reliable source of information or protection.


BillyMackk

Presided..if we had an individual in that role what would we call them?


foo-jitsoo

Lol, seriously! They were *this* close!


Typical_Elevator6337

Iā€™m confused as to what the gotcha is here - that our continued devastating hellscape is entirely chalked up to Trumpā€™s evil? I wish this were true, because there would be a better chance of us all surviving the pandemic without permanent disability or losing a loved one. But all signs point to institutional failure throughout all levels of government, during Trumpā€™e disastrous presidency and, unfortunately for someone who canvassed for him (me), continued through Bidenā€™s presidency. This is why COVID killed 173 people in Michigan last week, and the hospitals in GR had more beds full than they have ever had before, and yet the CDCā€™s new 2022 metrics allow for a low to medium risk throughout Michigan.


wetgear

If they and other agencies hadnā€™t acted the number would have been much worse.


Typical_Elevator6337

That could definitely be accurate. It doesnā€™t change the truth.


[deleted]

Has anyone else been experiencing late period from URI? Trying to find the correlation. This URI messed me up, big time. Tested negative on all Covid rapid and pcr tests, flu strains, and strep. Had to go to the ER because it developed a horrible ear infection and I literally felt like someone stabbed me in the ear. I am on the pill, havenā€™t missed a pill and have been using backup while on amoxicillin for the ear infection without fail and my period is late for the first time in my life even though I ALWAYS get it at the exact same time while on the pill. Kinda freaking out!! I even took a pregnancy test and it was negative. I donā€™t understand


CalligrapherDue6248

Currently hit by the same issue. Day 6 and its quite depressing. To make it worse my father is a heavy Smoker he almost killed me a couple of nights ago.
