I have Covid and am curious how my symptoms compare to other experience.

Non vaccinated. 48 yr old man. 6 ft 300 lbs….I know, fat arse. I get a full medical check up annually and do not have high blood pressure, or diabetes. Other than overweight, no co-morbidities.
Woke up Monday and felt ache and very very lethargic. No fever or congestion. Went to work but after a couple hours developed low grade fever and they made me leave and go get tested. Was positive for Covid. Went home, popped a Tylenol got in bed and didn’t wake up til Tuesday. Tuesday felt great. No aches and only just a little tired. Woke up Wednesday to a small amount of chest congestion which has remained but again very mild. Only real symptoms I still have is the mild congestion, low grade fever and mainly extreme lethargy. Like it takes everything I have to crawl out of bed.
Since Monday have been on a regiment of vitamin c, d, zinc, musinex and Tylenol. Wife thinks I should go back to doctor. What days the OT. Should I go or am I the down hill slide of this thing.

I mean the doctors aren’t going to really prescribe anything. Tough it out. Omicron hasn’t killed anyone in the entire world at this point.

I had a headache and fever for one day. Ran 12 miles the day after.
Can't believe we shut down our country over this shite.

That must be a serious workout, most of the lifetime pros on Plank Rd don't have that much stamina!
Regimen.

Sounds like typical omicron. Unless things change you should be fine.

I just tested positive this morning for the first time. I’m vaccinated but no booster. Have a headache, sore throat, low grade fever, and my back is achy but nothing too bad.

LOL….minus the wardrobe, that is surprisingly close.

I felt like I had a sinus infection and a temp freezing one minute and temp breaking the next with achy stuffy head. Lost taste and smell for 35 days.
That was back in July and still dont feel like I have my full taste back.

Can tell you take asprin for couple months. 37yr old brother of family friend got covid 2 weeks ago. Was fine, no symptoms. Day 5 got up, couldnt breath, died before ambulance showed up. Threw a bloodclot to his lungs. Covid seems to cause clotting

I'm in shape, got vaccinated last April but no booster. Got what I assume was omicron earlier this month. First day was probably the "worst" with a headache, slightly achey upper back and sinus congestion. Never got a cough or fever. Got better rapidly the first couple of days and was back to working out after 5 days.
ETA: to be clear, I was for sure positive for covid but my assumption is that it was omicron.
Never took anything other than Tylenol the first few days, then nothing after that.

Start with a dietitian.

The doctors will do absolutely nothing for you and if you get worse, all they will do is give you oxygen then kill you on a vent if you get bad enough. There's absolutely zero point in going anywhere.
Tough it out.
