re: For those who recovered from COVID...

I'm just getting to 14 days after initial symptoms. I'm 32 and about 50 pounds overweight. I didn't get a severe case, but it hasn't been fun. No fever at any point. Cold all of the time, miserable cold down to my bones, wearing a jacket all of the time. My O2 only dropped to an average of 96 for a few days. Sinus congestion, coughing, and fatigue. For me personally the fatigue was by far the worst part. I'm talking falling asleep at the table during breakfast or lunch, napping for hours on the couch, totally out cold, while my toddler is hooping and hollering while playing, etc. It's very unlike me, I rarely nap and if I do it's a 10 minute nap where I barely fall asleep at all.

I still have a mild cough and can't smell anything. My sense of taste is coming back, slowly. I can taste some things just a little bit, but seems like every couple of days a little more comes back.

I haven't tried a serious workout yet because I'm pretty sure it won't end well. Just started going for walks again and they're fine. About 1 week in I couldn't even walk around my yard without a coughing attack so that's a good improvement.



This virus is so odd. My wife tested positive but is asymptomatic except for not being able to smell some things. My son (2 years old) ran a mild fever for about a week straight.
