For those of you who’ve had the China virus how long did your symptoms last?

8-10 days but I only dealt with a constant head ache and extreme fatigue. Guess I got lucky symptom wise. Hang in there!

Everybody's symptoms are different.

My wife had it in May and had a bad headache and basically felt like shite for 2 days. My neighbor who is 75 only felt bad for a day but was febrile on and off for 2 weeks. My father (79) only had symptoms for about 4 hours but he contracted it shortly after the time of his first vax shot so it may have helped. A paralegal (50s) at work spent 2 weeks in the hospital.

Are you taking anything?

3 days of headaches, bodyaches, and fever.
Then all clear.
52M

10 days of intense. Took a trip to the ER and received two IV medications. One for lung inflammation and another antibiotics. Knocked the fever out which is what was brutal for me. I was still fatigued, light nausea, brain fog. Felt a lot better day 16. Still feel some fatigue/weakness day 21. I still have a cough.

My brother waited too long and got double pneumonia was hours away from heading to icu and ventilator when the meds kicked in. They are not sure his lungs will heal and may have permanent lung damage. That is being monitored. I luckily never got pneumonia.

A coworker of mine passed away from covid last Tuesday. If you have heart issues it can be bad. My brother did and my coworker had heart issues. One of the questions I kept getting in ER was about my heart. Mine is fine.

Good luck. All my medical friends say don’t wait too long for help.

You should not wait around and go to the Dr. Get on medication now before it gets bad. Some of the worst cases I know of were because they waited too long before going to the Dr.

Can you tell us your age and health condition?

About 3 weeks.... last to leave was fatigue and cough... steroids helped at the end. Went back to work after 13 days

Wife had it, ended up in the hospital and on a ventilator. While on the ventilator, she had a stroke. Was in the hospital and rehab for a total of three months. Lost 80% of her eye sight, use of her right arm, and some cognitive ability. She has to have someone with her 24/7 for good now. She was a month past her 65th birthday when she contacted Covid.

I had it at the same time. I lost taste and smell for 6 days, had muscle soreness in back and shoulders for 2 days, and a bad head ache on and off for a week. Never ran fever. I've had sinus infections that were worse.

It's funny how that shite affects people differently. Now we are dealing with long term affects of her stroke and looks as if we'll be dealing with them forever.

This is a very funky virus and I still question its origins. I had uncomfortable symptoms for 3-4 days like fever, headache, back pain/body aches, burning feeling in nose, etc. I got better every day after that but still had the fatigue and loss of smell for a while, which I still have no smell. I was most fatigued when I’d wake up in the morning ironically. Fever didn’t last more than 2 days

The sick part was about 3 days. The taste/smell part was a few weeks.

But I wasnt terribly sick. Had a killer sore throat and fatigue, but that was about it.
