I can't even approach that level of evil.
So after close to 8 years of not ever being sick - I got it 2 weeks ago now. Felt a bit sore one day late afternoon and went to bed early that night, woke up at 1am shaking uncontrollably and began puking every 30 mins from that point onward. Fever was 102.9F and the vomiting lasted until morning. I passed out finally to sleep then and slept all day. Woke up later afternoon with the worst full body aches ever (could hardly stand up) and bad headache. So began tylenol (1000mg) and advil (400mg) together every 6 hours which worked serious wonders. The following day I actually felt quite fine, just the headache was still very bad but the Tylenol was seriously the biggest difference, within 10 mins of it I would feel it getting a bit better.
But the 4th day I felt 90% better, no more aches, no fever, even the headache was gone - but then began coughing like crazy!!! Took those black halls for a day, had some chicken soups, some tea. (Took home test positive for those 4 days in a row - every day.)
Then day 5 felt completely back to normal. Even tested negative that morning, took a second test to be sure - negative. Everything seemed back to normal, the coughing was gone. I didn't even feel the need for tylenol or anything. THEN.. few days go by, I started feeling insanely tired. Even just walking up stairs super out of breath and sweating like I did a workout. I'm now on day # 14 since first day and feel completely fine except still get very tired just doing minimal tasks. Tried doing some yard work this past week and felt like I did an intense workout, out of breath sooo quickly. Going to try a bicycle ride this afternoon on a pathways and see how it goes.
That's sounds like it hit you harder than most. Glad you're doing better.
Maybe take it easy on the bike ride, and don't push hard.
I still haven't got the ok from my Dr to get back to the gym. He just wants me to walk around like I'm retired.
Were you vaccinated, @Kijho ?
Word. My doc keeps trying to change my inhalers and i'm like, eh no, I've finally gotten the formula that works after 30 years, why the fuck would I change it just because there's a newer drug on the market?This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
I'm glad that even with all my chronic health issues, i'm clearly a prime genetic specimen when it comes to covid, since I wouldn't have even known what it was when I got it and I'm still able to walk up stairs
Yup, but only the 2 doses pfizer I got. (When I got the vaccines I got sick for just 1 brief morning the next day and the 2nd dose I didn't feel anything after.)This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
So the bike ride wasn't too bad actually it felt good during it - but pretty quickly afterwards I was coughing quite a bit for about 10 mins. when I sat back down in the truck. Sort of that feeling after you have worked out too hard maybe. But it was only a 30 mins. light ride along the pathways. Uphill at the end though that I think got me haha..
And what was the duration between your vaccines?This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
I know in my case, I rushed as fast as controversially possible between 1 & 2. Then it was I think at least 12 months before my third.

my father in law has an extreme issue with shortness of breath right now. Bad enough he's constantly being hospitalized. Drs have no clue what's going on. They've done every test in the books. Ruled out heart issues. Ruled out lung issues. Ruled out cancers.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
They tried to blame a new onset of asthma.
Biggest issue is he's running out of medication they can give him to help him breath. He was a super healthy guy. Going down the stairs can cause him too much stress these days.
Two shots of pfizer for me too. Had the same symptoms as you, but i never had a fever. But i spewed my guts out.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote

This thread makes me sad seeing some people with problems too, my father got also (from when I did 2 weeks) but his cough has just simply not gone away. Nothing else, but just the persistent cough. Kept thinking maybe it's all the pollen / allergies or something but hearing other people with similar experiences, I hope it gets better for you @DonJuan
I'm willing to bet more people have long covid but don't realize it. It seems like a lot of kidney / liver damage is pretty common as well. Random heart palpitations is another one, the strange thing is ekg and monitoring machines have trouble picking it up and doctors have trouble explaining it.
I hope everyone recovers from it!

I was consistently getting sore throat, phlegm cough, plugged sinuses, etc. I used to get sick like that twice every year, but now it seemed to be constant.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
My wife changed the bedside tables, and moved my CPAP down to the lowest shelf. I had a suspicion it was humidity related as it always used to be. Moved my CPAP back up to bed level, and suddenly I started clearing up. With the CPAP sitting low, the humidity in the hose would condense and just fall back into the machine. I figured that out because it was rarely needing to be refilled with water.
Other than humidity, the other thing that has a bad effect on sinuses and throat, is dirty furnace filter.
Whether you have "long covid" or a vaccine injury, talking care of those 2 things should at least make the best of things. A good humidifier next to the bed when sleeping makes a huge difference.

It's weird that people only seem interested in making anecdotal connections to a corona virus that the human body has dealt with forever, and not the completely new thing we've all had shoved in our bodies.
Definitely been foggier the last year. But that could also be attributed to having a 1 year old.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
This doesn't really sound like covid. Did you get a test that was positive at the start? Or what was the assumption of this being covid and not food poisoning or some other malady?This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
4 tests positive 4 days in a row, yup, Day 5, 6, 7, negatives. I took 2 tests the the first two days because I didn't know if I was doing a 'good enough' job swabbing etc.. But idk even how good those at home ones are.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote

With long covid, it seems to come in waves. One week will feel fine, next week will have a slew of problems that may be completely different. Several months for some, at this point for me personally there may be some permanent issues (not all bad which is crazy)
Most do seem to have a low grade cough through the entire ordeal.

Oh gotcha, you only mentioned testing negative in your original post.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
Yeah the rapid tests seem a bit sketch. I had mild symptoms for like 5 days. Then I finally took a real turn where my symptoms were still mild, but much worse than the first 5 days. Super runny nose, stuff like that. Then I finally tested positive on a rapid test. I confirmed mine with PCR, but I was surprised how long it took for the rapid test to finally give me a positive.
I don't know about Calgary? But in Edmonton I have been seeing a big resurgence of goofy mask wearers. I still follow the AHS hospital counts, and it has been just steadily falling for months. Down to 24 ICU's now. So I'm not sure where the make believe fear is coming from again? But I don't watch the news, so maybe they've been pushing it again.

Covid finally hit our house, not sure where we picked it up but I'm going to blame the kids because kids are gross. My wife was wiped out for a few days with a bad headache, body aches, and sweats. It was pretty mild for me with the exception of loss of energy and this god damn cough. I was feeling good enough to change the spark plugs in the RDX but halfway through the fatigue hit me like I had just spent 10 hours working outside in the heat. It was very bizarre, like a heat exaustion coupled with sore muscles. My hips felt like someone took a baseball bat to them so I spent a lot of time on the couch for the rest of the day.
For the kids, the only symptom we can attribute to them is the shits. My 4 year old had an upset stomach one morning then shit his brains out all day and my 2 year old had about 7-8 sharty diapers. Besides that they have been 110% which sucks dealing with when we are sick. Thankfully they can go back to daycare wednesday.
Monkey Pox is the most prevalent in the gay community from close contact with bodily fluids from what the media tells me. So half of beyond is probably safe, but the other half is literally and figuratively fucked.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
