I have all my Covid shots (including the bivalent shot) as well as my flu shot and still am getting COVID 🙃
My latest result just shows the "C" and “T” line on the test. This is the "positive" result which means that you have Covid?? Bizarre how you can still get after all shots. I have had 3 confirmed cases plus the one prior to the declaration of Covid.
In fact, a buddy of mine had a trip around the world planned and also got a positive test attempting to board the plane… Had to wait the 3 days and catch up to the plane!
Here are the test kit instructions
2025 - Feb Update - Covid Kicking My Ass!
Well, after getting Covid around 4-5 times now I just tested positive again! But this time the impact was severe and I ended up in the Emergency for a Ultrasound of the Heart, IV and Blood Work. Here is a summary...
On Sunday I was eating an all dressed bagel with bacon, cheese, etc. and noticed that I had lost all taste. While I was feeling poorly, I had assumed that I was just under the weather but decided to do a Rapid test and sure enough, I tested positive. I then waited a couple days (Tuesday) and tested again and the test was now negative so I played a couple hockey games and shoveled the snow but when I went to unpack my hockey bag I became very dizzy and almost passed out. I assumed that I was just dehydrated and went on to play again Wed and Thurs. Friday, I was still feeling unwell and tested my blood pressure and it was very high 140s over high 90s. I tried to rest but Saturday may blood pressure was still very high and I tested on a Shoppers Drug mart BP cuff and it was over 150 over 101. On the advice of an RN from 811, I was instructed to head immediately to Emergency and get some additional tests.
As well as a high BP I also had bad dizziness, nausea, headache, etc. The cardiologist did bloodwork, and a heart ultrasound, After monitoring it was agreed to allow me to be released on a contingent basis - meaning that I must immediately return if the symptoms worsen or do not improve over time.
My blood pressure remained a challenge 171/103 for the next few days... but slowly improved on the 10th day...
