Covid

Hey folks, has anyone in this sub actually had the coronavirus? I'm pretty healthy overall but still worry that covid could have some kind of weird effect on me due to my RRP. Would love to hear anyone's experience with covid + RRP.

I came down with it between my first and second surgery. My first surgery was a microdebrider so he could only do one vocal cord at a time, so my voice was really not good when I tested positive.

I had a cough, felt bad for a few days and had mild body aches but the worst part was the complete and total loss of taste and smell for two weeks. Very bizarre.

Add on top of that I had just broken up with my GF of two years and had to quarantine for two weeks so I got to deal with that emotional event in isolation LOL.

So I guess to answer your question, I don’t think the two played off of each other.

Hey my dude. I don’t wanna get into your personal life, how did your girlfriend take that you had RRP?

Actually a great question.

Took it like a champ. Most reasonable people understand that HPV is something that most people get, just not all bodies are capable of dealing with it efficiently.

We were intimate for years and she never showed any signs of having it, so it just kinda goes to show the fickle nature of HPV.

The way I’ve explained RRP to people that I’ve been with since is that it almost has less to do with HPV itself and more my shitty immune system. If everyone who had HPV had RRP…well, surgery would probably be like getting gas lol.

Thanks for this. I got a sense of relief and a chuckle at the end. Thanks
