I spent three years dodging it. I've had two or three maybes when I felt sick enough that I ran the test and came up okay. When this cold started, I discovered my saved-back test kits had expired, so I ordered another one.
It arrived last night but I felt so bad that I was too clumsy to use it. This afternoon, I felt good enough to try. It's a little science experiment -- prepare the card, take the sample, apply the sample to the card and start the clock.
Tick-tock, tick-tock....
Bingo. Two lines.
Dammit.

Thank you, and I hope it's useful for others -- I ditched mine when I found they were eight months expired.
Paxlovid. Also a it took me three years.
It seems the nasty bug is catching up with too many of us who were oh-so-careful, this year. I hope that you get over-and-done, quickly, without permanent issues. Sending you hugs!
I've had it twice, once before the vaccine and once after. Both times I lost my sense of smell and had a fever, but that was about it. Or so I thought. I've been getting winded with fairly mild exertion, so I have a stress test coming up.
I'm sure the conspiranoids will tell me it's the vaccine's doing. I don't have the energy to argue over it. I've reached the age where the illness is more dangerous than the vaccine can possibly be. Feel better soon.
