SaysWho? Posted May 27, 2022 Share Posted May 27, 2022 Tested positive with an at-home today and had to cancel a short weekend trip. I'm going to get a pcr test and order some stuff for curbside pickup. Already called work and other places I've been the past few days to let them know to test themselves. I have a long-delayed trip I'm taking next week and hope I get better and quick. >____> 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fizzzzle Posted May 27, 2022 Share Posted May 27, 2022 I also have never had it that I'm aware of, but I've been directly interfacing with the public without a mask on since like November of 2020, so I feel like the odds are that I'm a carrier at this point. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SaysWho? Posted May 27, 2022 Author Share Posted May 27, 2022 I am fully vaccinated and boosted, so I'm not too worried about my health. I'm more worried about my vacation starting next weekend. I guess it's good that I got sick now instead of next week? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My wife's friends took us to a paranormal circus (Paranormal Cirque) a few weeks ago. Turned out to be a huge ass circus tent in a mall parking lot. The seating was so close it felt illegal. Like your hips and shoulders were touching the stranger next to you the entire time. Maybe 20 people out of a couple hundred had a mask. I thought for sure I'm getting covid. 2 weeks later and multiple over the counter Covid tests all came back negative. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarkStar189 Posted May 31, 2022 Share Posted May 31, 2022 How are you holding up @SaysWho? About 5 days ago I remember sharing a spoon with my daughter while eating a little snack she had,and she wanted to "feed me". Well today before school she had a headache, and about half way through the day I got muscle aches and a headache suddenly. Came home and tested positive almost right away. Daughter tested negative. I'm slightly bothered because my resting heart rate is reading 100-110 on a little blood pressure machine I have. No fever yet, just headache, some muscle ache, still have taste and smell.

I am feeling better but I'm still testing positive as of today. My gf just tested positive, however, so we have to once again postpone our trip next week after delaying it two years. Hopefully we can just delay it a few weeks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damn, I hated that: watching that second bar turn positive 10 minutes before it was finishing and never changing. >_< I don't think my heart ache increased, but I kept my sense of smell and taste. Hopefully this means you're mild. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarkStar189 Posted June 2, 2022 Share Posted June 2, 2022 Headache mostly gone, had a dry itchy cough yesterday that has turned into a wet productive cough today. Fever just comes and goes. Hasn't gone higher than 100 yet. Feel energetic, I just hate getting coughs because I would sometimes get bronchitis as a kid. Hoping it doesn't get much worse, only 3 days in though.

Glad you have energy; this sounds like you’re getting a mild bout of it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarkStar189 Posted June 4, 2022 Share Posted June 4, 2022 I have a physical job and I'm on my feet most of the day. This quarantine thing has been quite a shock to suddenly just be hanging out and laying around. Haven't had a fever for the past 2 days so I'm walking the dogs around the yard every hour for something to do. Today I have a pretty stuffy nose, little bit of a burning cough but nothing major. Taste and smell is definitely messed up. Feel like it's at least 50-75% gone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atom631 Posted June 6, 2022 Share Posted June 6, 2022 Highjacking the thread with this bullshit…I was sick AF for like 8 days. Finally feeling better…but during it I went to the walk-in clinic and the ER bc I was having crazy chills, bodyaches, super high fever, sweats, headaches and joint pain. 4 Covid tests, 2 flu tests and a whole bunch of other shit and they couldnt figure it out. Went to my primary care Dr and they decided to test me for lyme disease….. welp, I have lymes. im now on doxycycline which is making me nauseous AF. Made me puke. Looks like I have a long summer of dr visits, monitoring and testing. but at least is not covid! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkStar189 Posted June 6, 2022 Share Posted June 6, 2022 @SaysWho? Did you lose smell/taste? A lot of my symptoms have cleared up today, the cough is especially better. But I was not prepared to lose my smell and taste. It's like 100% gone now. I just shaved my face and have 2 strong aftershaves I like. Can't smell a hint of either of them. Chewing mint gum and I can feel the sensation of burning mint on my tongue but no mint taste. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkStar189 Posted June 6, 2022 Share Posted June 6, 2022 @atom631 I'm really sorry to hear that. Same thing happened to my wife a year or two ago. Came home normal one night, by the evening I had to call an ambulance because she collapsed. Checked out fine at hospital. Her mom recommended she get checked for lymes after the hospital failed to find anything. Turned out positive. They think she had it for many years undiagnosed and when she collapsed she was in the middle of a big flare up (high fever, feeling like the flu). It's pretty well managed at home now with diet and exercise though. Little things have changed with her body. She'll get random pain in her thighs and feet. Occasionally her jaw locks up while chewing. There are specialists out there that can help, the problem is finding a good one and dealing with months long wait times to be seen. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
