    Fevers always work out great for me. I’ll be all shivery and crash under a pile of blankets. Wake up a few hours later, soaking wet, I mean really, truly gross, and it’s over, all better.

      This is what I do (and have for almost 20 years). Once I notice what feels like a fever, ASAP I layer up and sleep for as long as my schedule allows. Seems to really work well.

      The few things that stick around after that, though, those are guaranteed to fuck me up for a few days.

        This is how I found out I got a bad strain of COVID after getting vaxed. Sleep through a rough fever, next day all good, except muscle pain; it lasted for 2 weeks.

        Years later I get antibodies checked I developed antibodies for a strain that didn’t exist when I was vaxed, that episode happened 1y later. Yup, fevers are the best.

          Wife and I got COVID last fall, despite being vaxxed. But god knows how bad it could have been without. I have mild emphysema, that shit can kill me.

          And no, neither one of us kept up with the vax schedule. That’s on us.
