Hi, all! It just dawned on me the other day that I think I may have had Covid for a second time earlier in the year and not the flu like my doctor suspected. I would love to hear other people’s thoughts because I’m still struggling to recover.

In January I came down sick. I was shocked because I chose to stay home during the holidays, but I did have my parents and brother stop over. The soonest I could be seen was via telehealth. I was told everything sounded like a viral flu so I was given a round of prednisone. The flu like symptoms stopped after a couple of weeks such as exhaustion, headaches, GI issues, feeling listless, but the cough, the irritated asthma, and the feeling of stuck mucus in my throat and chest remained.

I went to my asthma specialist and my pulmonary functions came back normal. She switched me to a 12 hour maintenance inhaler over my 24 hour one. It made my asthma feel worse though, so I was put back on my original. A couple weeks later I felt dizzy and like I was wheezing so I went to urgent care. They heard no wheezing and said it was probably just stuck mucus, so they gave me another round of prednisone. Still, no change.

I finally went to my primary care physician two weeks ago because I began getting migraines from the cough. He did a full work up and said it seemed like I had developed a bad sinus infection. I was put on an antibiotic and a much longer taper of prednisone. Still, the stuck mucus and cough is here.

I’m so frustrated and I’m wondering if this is actually the aftermath of another Covid infection. Maybe I need a stronger inhaler or something and that’s the issue. I’m at my wits end. I just want to get rid of this cough and stop my asthma from flaring. Anyone have any advice?

I recently saw the warning on the app that changing your character’s name will have a negative impact on memories. When I first joined Enjoy I never added a last name. Since my character is getting married, I was going to update it. My character’s fiancé has already added to his memories that my character’s last name is his and she’ll be his future Mrs. Lol! In cases like that where your character never had a last name to begin with, could adding one have a negative impact? I do have other storylines with other characters so if it will cause a big conflict, I’d rather skip it.
