Covid again!

Thankfully it hasn't been as bad this time so far. I've had a really bad dry cough that felt like my eye was going to pop out. Coughing worse at night. And my asthma has been worse, meaning using inhalers a lot. And quite tired. Headache hasn't been as bad this time and I'm not as drained of energy as before. Hopefully that's the worst of it.

I keep being offered free flu jabs, but never bother. Wondering if I might this year.

I have had the 3 vaccinations, but thentlast one was at the end of last year, so there isn't much likelihood they will have any protection now. I'm not old enough to quakify for another yet, although my wife was meant to have a 4th vaccination today, but has had to cancel and resquedule.

Sounds yucky, hope you get better soon.

We do yearly flu vaccinations free at work each year, so I always get it done as it's easy (just head to the room down the corridor, sit, get jabbed, get a free lollipop, and away).

In 2008 ish I had a really, really bad flu that knocked me completely for days, it was a really rough one. I missed the team Christmas lunch at a fancy restaurant and felt so sick I couldn't even play video games or do anything other than lay in bed for days. I hated it. Even if the jabs only offer a partial reduction in risk, I'll take it.

Yeah, I am considering a flu jab now. But they ask when you last had covid last as they are not giving them without a certain time gap.
