Rest. Liquids.

I had spurts of energy, times I felt really exhausted and times I felt like I could do things around the house.

I felt stuffy and congested around day 5 and by day 7 I was able to breathe easier. On day 3 I had a dull pain in my back and ribs, that was for about 3 days.

Other than that I felt fine. Honestly felt like I had a bad cold or sinus infection and pain you get from coughing a lot, even though I didn't cough as much.

I think fluid and rest helped.

Had it last spring, started off as the worst migraine of my life and a 104 degree fever. Slept basically the first two days, felt a little better for a few days, didn’t have any respiratory symptoms until about a week in. Around the two week mark I lost smell/taste but only for a couple of days. Third week was pretty bad vertigo/brain fog and then that stupid sinus infection.

ETA I forgot about the body aches, those were bad the first week too. Just my clothes touching my skin hurt. Also ended up losing like 15 lbs cause all I ate for a week was crackers and Gatorade lol

I had Covid in may of last year and I was the sickest I’ve ever been without needing to go to a hospital. It was awful so I feel for you.

I had a really nasty cough and the ONLY over the counter medicine that worked for me was Delsym.

That’s really my best piece of advice… otherwise drink plenty of water and get all the rest you need! Wishing you a speedy recovery

> I haven’t had any symptoms, so I haven’t gotten Covid

Not totally true. I never knew I had covid until my wife got sick and I tested myself just to be sure and bingo, I had it. Never had any symptoms at all.

Heart issue def puts you in a different category-really sorry abt your coworker-all vax and meds come with risks. Listen to any drug commercial on TV-Ozempic comes to mind…I’d be a nervous wreck if I needed to take that drug…

Just got over my first case of it a week or so ago. I'm vaxed and boosted multiple times. For me, it was a light fever for a couple of days, coupled with sinus congestion and complete loss of sense of smell - that was weird. Feeling pretty good now but still some fatigue. Sense of smell is mostly back. Fever is gone. Still some congestion.

No great hints that haven't already been covered. Drink a lot of water. Get a lot of rest. I did do a couple of saline nasal flushes that I think helped with the congestion. Don't make any critical decisions because your brain probably isn't working all that well. Good luck and have a swift recovery!

Ya lol long covid just like long lyme disease gimmie a break, everyone i know has had covid including almost all of the 130 ppl i work with, only person to go to the hospital was one kid that got the J&j shot and had a reaction to it.

Personally i wish covid had 50% kill rate way too many people on this rock, but im sure WW3 will put a dent in it. Covid will be the last thing on your mind when you doing the "duck and cover" cause the cdc said itd protect you from a nuke

Meh im not anti vax, just anti untested vax i figured id let all the dubs be first inline for the medical trials. Since I have a mild heart condition that turned out to be very wise, I watched a 30year old collapse at work 2 days after j&j vax frigged his heart up. Rare but it does happen
