Yes, I have had it. It is ABSOLUTELY HORRIBLE! While my family some friends ARE antivax for personal reasons: some of those reasons include how both my own mother and a family friend both have compromised immune systems, as in they get sick by MOST EVERY LITTLE THING, allergies, my mother and I both have had issues in the past with vaccinations. I can't take, I believe, the Polio vaccine, as it contains penicillin, I also can't have tetanus, and possibly amoxicillin, as my leg swollen up all the way up to the hip when I was A LOT YOUNGER. My mother also has HORRIBLE allergies, and is allergic to NEARLY EVERY LITTLE THING! But, even though we have those problems, I HIGHLY RECCOMEND PEOPLE CONTINUE TO SOCIAL DISTANCE, WEAR MASKS, NOT GO ANYWHERE THAT HAS BEEN COMPROMISED OR IF YOU YOURSELF HAVE BEEN SICK, AVOID LARGE CROWDS, GET THE VACCINE!!! I CAN'T STRESS THAT ONE ENOUGH, BUT MOST OF ALL, STAY SAFE. Sorry, for all the bold, italicized words, but I NEED to get my point across, that again, I CANNOT STRESS ENOUGH!!!
I am a 30 year old, High-Spectrum Autistic, man who lives with his mother, his younger brother, and a pet black, possibly Maine Coone Mix, cat. We had Covid just last month/last year. My mother and I honestly believe we had it the start of the year back in January, as she was VERY sick, and started losing both her sense of smell and taste. I was also pretty sick, felt BEYOND exhausted, didn't want to move out of bed, couldn't move without body aches, the works. So... once that was over. I took a life skills class supported by an Autism support group, and someone had the virus on its final week (the class was only six weeks). I and my family ended up quarantined for 14 days, no symptoms, no big deal. But then the following week, I had an OTHER life skills class, and THAT final week, I HAD COVID! So, the issue was, my brother felt stomach pains, so he probably had it, and my mother eventually started showing signs. So we were all sick with Covid for several weeks, and that is when unfortunately, my mother's breathing was getting labored. I didn't think much about it, as my mother has REALLY BAD asthma, and sleeping issues. I even asked her one night when her breathing was bad "Are you, okay?" and she replied back with "Yeah, I'm fine! Why do you ask?" and I told her. She just ignored it stating it was just because of her sleeping, but I think she mentioned her chest hurt, which was a bit concerning, but I was NOT READY for what would happen next!
That night my brother comes rushing into my bedroom, around 3am EST, and informs me he had called an AMBULANCE, as my mother's breathing had gotten WAY too labored... it WASN'T Just asthma or Covid. IT WAS COVID PNEUMONIA! They hulled her off to the hospital and she has been there ever since, fighting for her life. That was Dec. 25, Christmas... who would have thought? By then my brother and I were through with this EVIL, INHUMANE, NEARLY NOT SURVIVABLE, DEADLY, DEVILISH THING OF A VIRUS.
Luckily though, they got her on meds that cleared and healed her lungs, and she IS stable. However, they had to take her off of it and/or the machine, as one of them could have caused her to have compromised kidneys!!! She is supposed to rushed to a "cleaner" room by herself so my brother and I can visit her. We will get to see her finally after FIGURIVELY a year, and LITTERALLY a month, almost 2!!! So, between that, and cleaning around our trailer and having to rush around cleaning. My anger (and believe me, I have a DANGEROUSLY FIRERY ANGER, TO THE POINT I WOULD CALL IT "DEMONIC"!), hatred, PARANOIA and PHYSICALLY, MENTALLY, AND SPIRITUALLY OVERWHELMING stress. I'm lost. I am BEYOND HURT AND LONELY, but my aunt and some family friends have been VERY KIND AND SUPPORTIVE, AND I CAN'T THANK THEM ENOUGH!
COVID IS HORRIBLE! MY symptoms included feeling like had either strep, or bronchitis, with a sore chest and throat, MASSIVE nausea, a MIGRAINE, diarrhea, itchy, watery, eyes. Etc. You can either show symptoms, or NOT HAVE ANY SYMPTOMS AT ALL!
