I got the new Covid booster two and a half weeks ago and as with the last one, I actually experienced some relief of post-Covid symptoms with 48 hours. Praying this lasts more than the three weeks of relief I got with the last booster.

GET THE RSV!!!
It wasn't on my radar, I've been sick with RSV for over a week now. It feels like when I originally had covid. I've been in the ER for breathing treatments and now have a nebulizer at home.

Got the RSV vaccine Friday. Maybe that’s why I awoke yesterday and today wide awake & ready to go. I forgot what normal felt like.

Is it safe to get RSV shot? I have had Long Covid for over 2 years with one of my symptoms is trouble breathing, constantly have to clear my throat, thick mucus that won’t drain. I just don’t want this problem to flair up if I get the RSV.

I have been sick with three extended bouts of Covid since the end fo Jan, so I have been hesitant to get the Covid booster and flu shot, but I felt a little better yesterday and was out for a Dr appt, so I went ahead with them, and I haven't had any reaction at all, I am pleased to say!

So sorry to hear this but I am now very happy I got my RSV vaccine. I already have lung cancer and fibrosis in lungs creating breathing issues and I do not need anything else!!!
People fear vaccine side effect but forget that the actual disease is much worse!
