Did you change your diet?
Nothing fights inflammation like a proper diet.

You donāt want to test because youāll have to isolate?
The symptoms sound like covid to me. Mine declined after the first two days but maybe day 4 onward I started to get more tired, sleeping a few times a day.
Your cases sounded serious. How are your recoveries progressing?

Iām in the US atm, so no worry there, I just dunno if thereās a point in knowing the specific virus
I would think so. There are are early treatment protocols for it. That would be my regret, just basically saying, my body will be able to deal with it. I had some vitamins and things ready like NAC, but there is a lot you can do. In retrospect, I would have been more deliberate about what I did.
Good luck.

Better, thanks. Took about 6 weeks to get back to functional. Medium COVID, I guess?

Thanks for checking in! All of my injuries slowly improved, except for the feeling of repetitive strain injury in my right hand and wrist which is one of the injuries that came back to haunt me after COVID. It is improving, but I assume that because I use my wrist all the time itās going to be very slow. I should have probably just gotten a doctor to look at it so it would be bandaged and treated properly, but seeing a doctor in the UK is a pain so Iām just waiting it outā¦

I feel much better today. Still nauseous is the main issue. Not much appetite still.
Itās pretty clear you have COVID, man. Take care!

I started to get abdominal pains about a week ago. Went to the doctor at a clinic the next day. The meds didnāt help. Went to the hospital a couple of days later. Endoscopy and ultrasound scheduled for today. Rapid test needed before the endoscopy. It came back positive! My symptoms are lethargy and abdominal pain. Iām hoping my stomach problems are due to covid. My research shows that itās a real possibility. No other symptoms.
Oh, loss of appetite is another one. I lost over 2kg in the last week. Just not hungry, and when I believed it to be an actual stomach issue, I felt keeping an empty stomach would help.

So they just rescheduled the endoscopy for a week or two later I guess? That must be annoying. Do they actually report the case so you can start quarantine, or just send you home to do as you wish?
Sounds like something youād want to get checked out soonish anyway. Seems a bit weird if COVID caused that a week ago but no other symptoms. Good luck.

If I think back, I believe the lethargy started at around the same time (but I still forced myself to swim on the day it started). And there has been a tiny bit of coughing with phlegm. With the constant rain, I thought that was the cause. Also, feeling like I have a fever when I donāt when checked is another symptom. I think thatās about it.
Edit: Oh, I feel cold all the time but not to the point where Iām shivering or anything, like when Iāve had bad colds in the past.

I tested positive last Monday without knowing I had covid (required rapid test before hospital procedure), and today (Saturday) Iām still testing positive. Iām reading that it takes longer for covid to clear your system if it hits you in your stomach. Hmmm.
The stomach pain is still there but only slightly. I still have a bit of phlegm when I cough. No other symptoms now. I never had a fever and Iām thankful for that.
I go back to the office on Tuesday, assuming I get a negative test result. I hope I do because I need my printer, and I like having my big desk and big screen.

Unless your office is requiring it, you donāt have to take a test when you finish your quarantine.
When I had covid a 2 months ago, I was testing positive the day my quarantine ended and for another 3 days afterwards. My work called the cdc number, 1911 I think, and they said there is no need to test after quarantine and that I was free to leave my house.

My office doesnāt require it to return to the office. I took the test today anyway to satisfy my curiosity. I tested negative.

I have been struck down, 2nd time around for me and worse in some ways than the first one. Intermittent fever pains all over, slightly sore throat now moving on to coughing. Hopefully getting over the peak now.
My kids managed to contract another mild viral disease at the same time. What a palavar!

I have had almost the same progression. But I also got muscle pains and headache and pain in my eyes and my teeth (thats what it felt like lol). Migraine I guess. No nausea. How long did it take to feel right?
Only 4 months since the first infection , covid is a bitch like that. This is likely the new variant.
I have had three shots, last one was Feb I think.

Getting my fourth shot later this week. It may not save my a&& butāafter reading your postsāIām willing to give it a shot, so to speak.
