Sorry you got it. Are you checking oxygenation? Is your doc having you do that? Do they have you on any meds?

Buy if you can a pulse oximeter. It will tell you your oxygen level. Someone here would probably know better with covid but below 95 I’d call your doctor or the COVID Hotline and ask if they’d suggest seeking help.

We’ve had people go into the low 90s and even 70s/80s and need serious oxygen flow.

Some here have said that laying on your belly (prime) can help with the cough and oxygen levels.

My friend told me that his fingers were turning blue”ish”. If that happens get checked out please. Blue is not good.

Edit sorry I posted Before reading replies.

Thanks will do. Oxygen has been good so far. I heard the 5-8 days are the hardest. I just finished the 5th.

Had it. 103 fever for a couple days at first. Headache. Terrible shits and nausea throughout. A few days of shortness of breath. Never really felt terrible. Never took medicine. Right at two weeks after first symptom felt great.

Yes. Tested positive and recovered at my house just fine. It felt like a bad head cold.

My father, diagnosed today. Not cool, he's already in chemo treatment for cancer.

He's been living nothing short of Jake Gyllenhaal's lifestyle in the movie Bubble Boy. No fricking clue how he got that fricking virus.

Anyone diagnosed with Covid?


have you felt tired more so than usual at any point within the last 90 days?

have you experienced an excess of coughing spells at any point within the last 90 days?

have you experienced any shortness of breath at any point within the last 90 days?


if you answered yes to ANY of these questions, then yes, you are indeed diagnosed with Covid-19.

I was diagnosed. Was like the common flu for 10 days or so. Nothing too terrible.
Felt better after being off work for 2 weeks and stopped showing symptoms so I went back to work that Monday.
However, I began coughing and running a fever the following Tuesday.
That led to a full in relapse of symptoms, and was a lot more intense the second go round. Basically like a really bad case of the flu. This lasted another 10-11 days. Didnt find out the first time, but upon my second time my blood oxygen level was 72.
Was tested and diagnosed positive, and took the antibody test this past Friday. Haven't gotten the results from that back yet.

This seems to be a somewhat common experience from what I've read. Basically it comes in waves; both in terms of daily experience (you feel worse at night) and that it APPEARS to clear but then hits you again (and sometimes worse).

Prayers to everyone or their family who has (or had) it.

Why are you getting an antibody test when you already know you had it?

Sorry to hear that, man.

No idea, but I'm sure right now his immunity is way down from the chemo. For all you know, you could have had it but your immunity is strong enough to have battled it, but his isn't.
