A HATS co-morbidity; see also: Thriving w/ Lipedema🌸

airos blog 3 03 20222 I was introduced to Lymphedema and Lipedema at a HATS-related conference. How amazing, that there are others shaped just like me...normal size hands & feet, oversized hips, abdomen and thighs. Let's help raise awareness!

This article is paired up with another, I have a cough but it's not COVID. I've written this follow-up, because now the cough finally was COVID.

For years, I've had a non-productive, dry cough (described in the article above).

In January/February 2023, I've had a productive cough. Multiple visits to doctors determined that it was an allergic cough. It is unclear what I am allergic to, given that every blood test comes back negative, including penicillin (with which I have had reactions, as have my kids).

In March 2023, I had my first case of COVID-19. I'm grateful that I beat the odds as long as I did, because I was able to get an appointment very quickly and, ultimately, to start Paxlovid™️ immediately after getting a positive test.

How was the cough different, contrasting January/February to March?

Not at all.

I woke up in the middle of the night with a headache; headaches and migraines are not rare for me, yet it was paired up with the following:

The headache awaking me
The afore-mentioned productive cough
Another member of my household being positive

As it happens, I missed just 1 day of work, because I was able to work virtually.

It should be noted, however, that I became ill within 10 days, with a different gastrointestinal sickness.

PXL 20220102 214212000 As mentioned in a previous article, vaccines can be tough on people with Hereditary Alpha Tryptasemia Syndrome. The Moderna booster for COVID-19 was no exception. Bottom line: 2 sleepless nights, and the day between them was not too bad.
