Current Events > If You've Had COVID-19, How Did it Start For You?

(+) Yeah! (+)

I mean, how did the onset of symptoms occur?

Past couple days, I've had a bit of sinus pressure and sniffling. Almost like allergies. And a "thick" feeling kinda like a post nasal drip. Might cough once in a bit, to clear my throat, but it hasn't been rough or frequent coughing.

Haven't had any flu-like symptoms though. No nausea, diarrhea, chills, loss of appetite, body ache, sore throat, fatigue, or fever yet. Though the fever could be suppressed by the sinus medication I've taken.

I didnt think much of it, because I've only left the house to go to work or the commissary, but this evening I realized I could barely smell my deodorant or taste my toothpaste.

Mine started as just a very minor sore throat. Ached for about an hour before going away. Returned that night alongside a mild fever. Next day had a cough too.

After that it was the regular symptoms, cough, shortness of breath, fever, loss of taste/smell, general weakness... the worst was the aches though, I don't think I've ever felt that of soreness just from being sick before. Over all it wasn't all that bad, just an annoying cough and persistent shortness of breath now.

fever and then started to lose my sense of taste and smell a couple of days later. i also had loss of appetite. took about a week to get over it. i still cough but not as much since i'm still taking cough syrup.

1) No smell or taste. 2) Muscle aches. Fatigue. 3) Highest temperature of 99.0 F. 4) Started getting better.

If I wasn't told to get tested because of a close contact at work, I'd have never known. I was exposed on Dec 19th and tested positive on the 23rd. No symptoms as of yet and hopefully stays that way.

I am fairly certain I had this a year ago as well. Just looked up my Wechat feed, and on Dec 30th I went to the hospital because of severe flu like symptoms (fever, cough, difficulty breathing, body aches, etc). This was in China and I tested negative for every test they ran. It definitely makes sense considering the timeline.
