Aerobika green valve blows out; common?

Thank you for that feedback, Sue. My routine appointment happened to be last week and they didn’t want me to reschedule either, surprising me. I’d finished Paxlovid and the rebound symptoms hadn’t started. The first phase was all fevers, chills, headaches and nasal stuffiness. The rebound has been bad dry coughing (better today) and nasal stuffiness again.

I was lucky to get the Acapella on Monday and think its more rigid design is better for my volumes. I’ve used that and hypertonic saline the past couple days.
I appreciate the comment about the steroids. My PMD offered some last winter when I had a viral illness with bad cough and I was afraid to take systemic ones. Next time I will.
I just tested positive again-day 15 or 16. It’s just a low level misery and I know it could be much worse, but I’m tired of it.

My friend who probably caught Covid from us before we were symptomatic was here last evening, finally feeling better after a Paxlovid rebound. She finally tested negative the second time after 24 days. It was particularly difficult for her family as she and her sister share caregiving duties for their disabled brother, and sis had to carry the whole burden for that time. Now she wants to "make it up" and her husband and sister don't want her to do too much and relapse again.

I fear this nasty virus is going to be in our lives forever.
