@cat_elg I like my weekly game of “Covid or hangover”

@cat_elg Always me this time of year. I think it’s because we run the heater

@cat_elg Fuggin A. Yesterday I got all kinds of paranoid until claritin and Pepcid AC took away my sinus issues and scratchy throat, respectively

@cat_elg I literally have five headache days per week

@cat_elg @jplepore Covid? Allergies? Common cold? We may never know! 🤷🏽‍♀️

@cat_elg This lasts the entire winter for like 50% of the population

@cat_elg Bro I had phlegm in my throat after the gym yesterday and started freaking out till I remembered I hadn’t done cardio in weeks and that’s why my lungs weren’t happy with me

@cat_elg My chronic migraines and allergies would like a word

@cat_elg I've had a runny nose for 5 years and I'm a habitual sneezer. I visited 2 ENT doctors. I take 2 different allergy pills everyday, buy tissues in bulk, can't hear out of my right ear most days, and still I question if I'm covid sick. Very stressful.

@cat_elg As a result of allergies in a fully vaccinated home I have developed my own "covid test" I shove a candle in my kid's nose and say "can you smell that?" and then I take their temperature.

@cat_elg Also a bad time for people who perpetually tell everyone they “barely got any sleep last night”

@cat_elg love asking myself if I'm sick from the changing weather or if I'm with the plague

@cat_elg There’s no good way to approach “Have you had any of the following symptoms in the last 2 weeks?” if you are one of these people.

@cat_elg yes. but also:

@cat_elg When they first put out the symptoms of "Sore Throat, Coughing, Aches" I was like "I'm a Dock worker in a dusty warehouse, that drinks too much. You have to give me something like 'bleeding eyeballs' that I can zero in on"

@cat_elg My sinuses drip down the back of my throat and causes me to constantly try to clear my throat. People give me the worst looks sometimes. It's like I promise this isn't new this literally happens every few months

@cat_elg my throat gets sore in the half week or so before my period (hormone levels make your throat loosen at night, pulling up acid) so every month it's like "oh shit do I have covid?"

@cat_elg @WeekendTwitr Suffered from chronic migraines since I was nine years old. A bad headache is one of the first symptoms of nearly every single disease/disorder. I’ll never be able to catch anything early.
