Not sure why everyone is down voting you(Oh wait, yes I do...).You're not saying anything political, just sharing your experience.

Get well soon bub.

I hope you recover quickly.

Has it been spreading through St Jude?

take 3 tylenol


Found your problem.

Take Tylenol III.

Seriously, though, I'd shop docs till I found one who would sign off on HCQ+Azithromycin+Zinc cocktail.

SSpaniel- seriously, take care and watch the fever & coughing above all. I say this as a COVID survivor. Once you get that under control, you're home free. If CV19, you will lose your sense of taste & smell... if not, you may have caught the flu. Tests are sensitive.

Don't go dyin on us and voting for Biden!

I tested positive yesterday. Will say yesterday was worse than today. 100.5 first day. No higher than 99.8 so far today. No cough but was feeling like I just got be up. Still not the worse I’ve felt.

I know a couple 73 and 76 years old. They both had Covid felt like crap for a few days and were completely clear in less than 2 weeks. Your prognosis is positive

Nope. A few cases here and there, but no "outbreak" so to speak.


Not sure why... but my scalp hurts to touch. That's weird.

This crap sucks. Really, really badly.

103.5 degree fever, wake up at night with uncontrollable shivering, put another blanket on, take 3 tylenol, wake up a few hours later and t shirt is soaking wet, as are pillowcases and sheets. At least fever went down. Then back up during the afternoon to a little over 103. That will make you feel REALLY, REALLY bad. No other symptoms, though. No cough, no trouble breathing can still smell stuff.

I have zero appetite, to the point that the thought of eating actually makes nauseous.

Anyways, that's my covid experience days 1 and 2.




Hang in there buddy. I had a mild case about a month ago. Started showing a few symptoms on a Saturday night, woke up Monday morning feeling like shite, went to clinic for rapid test, tested positive. My temp never went above 100.2 the whole time. I felt bad Monday and Tuesday, started feeling a little better Wednesday and Thursday morning I woke up feeling like a new man. It was like a mild variant of the flu for me.

It did hit me more in the nature of a stomach virus, i.e., upset stomach, reduced appetite, diarrhea. I ate very little the entire week. The worst part was the isolation of quarantine. There’s only so much TV you can watch or reading you can do. By that next Sunday night, I was about to jump out of my own skin.

Best wishes, man. Do everything they tell you (vitamins, zinc, stay hydrated). Get plenty of rest and take care of yourself. I hope you get well soon.

Did you use proper PPE properly & socially distance?

Do you have a caregiver? Regardless, try to stay hydrated as much as possible and treat your symptoms. I hope you feel better SOON!

Just sent a prayer your way!

DO NOT take any type of sleeping medication. A guy did that thinking he would self medicate and sleep it off and he died.

I had something, not sure it was COVID. Worst case of chills I’ve ever had, fever shot up over 102, hit me fast. I decided to heat the oven to 450 degrees and breathed in as much hot air that I could stand through my nose and mouth in hopes of killing the presumed virus.
No lie, all my symptoms were gone in 2 hours without taking a single medicine.
