Mumps? Rackus Frackus
Jun. 18th, 2022 02:14 pmOkay. I am mostly over this thing that was probably COVID. It went into my back on the left at about waist height and - ow. I was back in bed for a couple days. It is slowly relenting, but I need to keep my ibuprofen level up or incautious deep breaths are a bad bad idea.
I now have a swollen salivary gland on my right side, and my face is beautifully cherubic on that side. I have never had mumps, and vaccinations came out when I was an adult, and apparently the incubation phase can be 25 days, so it's *just* possible I caught it in the primordial soup that was my family reunion. Huzzah. Maybe it isn't mumps - but we're in duck territory here.
I am better enough to be *annoyed* instead of apathetic, but I'm still not comfy.
There were some WTF symptoms/effects with this Prolly Covid: I had a red patch across the top of the side of one thigh. It wasn't hot to the touch, it had no unusual sensations, and I stopped thinking about it. It is now peeling like I had a bad sunburn. No clue.
