Covid for the third time

Wondering if anyone else is in the same boat and had Covid multiple times?

I've had it once a year, every year, and this is my third time.

I've had 2 vaccinations and I feel greetings terrible. I tested positive on Monday and have been feverish, sleeping a lot, sore throat, fatigue, headache/pressure, brain fog, dizziness, coughing up yellow mucus, loss of appetite and the will to live.

I don't feel as terrible as I did the first time (I had trouble breathing back then) but still feel useless and am having to take sick leave after being off for Christmas and I don't think my manager is very happy about that.

I'm spending all the day on the couch and I'm still tired. Xmas Sad

I've had it twice that I know of but I think I also had it very early on when there was no testing so three times total. I tested positive this most recent time 17 days ago and still feel awful. My second jab was this time last year so I'm sure it's worn off-I had Covid On the day I was due to get my booster 🙄

have had it twice, first time Jan 2021 was very unwell for a long time, then had omicron in dec 21, not as bad, am hoping that will do for a while Gin

I'm wondering if I just have a poor immune system! I had a cold and a chest infection in November as well and needed antibiotics.

Op, I've had it 4 times so quite possible, and yes it's shit.

Im 2020/2021 and praying 2022 stays clear but feeling a bit run down and testing as the lung burning feels so familiar.

I also had a chest infection in November. I wonder if Covid makes yiou more susceptible

Someone at work has had it 3 times. Send school. Hope you feel better soon Thanks

You could ask Gp to check vit d and other things just in case you have a severe deficiency, and then try taking vit d. Good 3000 iu in Holland and Barratts or online by better you.
