Am I crazy or is there a flu b line? I had the flu on the 13th, but now have Covid.

So tested positive for flu b on the 11th. Boyfriend comes home with Covid. He never got flu but sure enough i tested positive yesterday, I have Covid, as I was turning a corner from the flu.

My boyfriend keeps insisting that what I got on the 11th was just what he has and that I wouldn’t be getting it because I gave it to him. But I tested this morning. He keeps making it seem like I shouldn’t be sick. And telling me “you don’t seem that sick” or, “you seem better”?? I just tested positive and I feel like garbage.

Flu A or am I imagining things?

Traveled cross country and went to two theme parks with my family. Got back last Thursday, spent the weekend adjusting back to our time zone (traveled from PST back to EST). Had severe fatigue, body aches and cough Tuesday, Wednesday and today. No fever. Was set to go on a girls trip with 5 other ladies in an air bnb where everyone is sharing a room. Took a test and … looks positive for flu A to me? Afraid I’m just being a baby and this is jet lag lasting a long time and I’m imagining the line 🫠

Question Day 6 fever

24 years old
Anyone else on Day 6 or later still experiencing a fever? 😩
I’m still getting a fever once a day, around 101.1°F.
My symptoms are fever, congestion, a sore throat that’s getting better, and fatigue. I feel much better than I did during the first two days, but the fever is still coming back.
Is anyone else experiencing the same thing?

Thanks

Personal experience Flu shot side effects

• Upvotes

update: so I woke up with itchy hives all over my body. which escalted to mouth ictching on the inside and soreness in my throat and tongue. decided to go to urgent care. after talking about if I have any new changes in diet (I did not) she said it could have been the flu shot. she gave me a steroid shot. I went home and took citrizine. this morning I woke up with no hives. hoping that’s the end of that

I had to get a second flu shot due to needing it for school. I have been having some weird things happen since that I have never experienced and I’m wondering what could be going on.

Saturday-flu shot

sunday- itching around my mouth, then minor swelling on the left side

Monday-nothing of note

tuesday- constant itching on my scalp, arms, and trunk. I wouldn’t say ”severe” but bad enough that I kept waking up to scratch and it seemed like no matter what the itching wouldn’t cease. Upon inspection in The mirror this morning, I noticed some dimpling on the skin under my breasts. I’m not sure if this is a rash or due to constant itching. it is not on any other areas that itch.
