Current Events > How long did it take y'all to recover after symptoms?

(+) Yeah! (+)

It's been mainly constant chills for me since Sunday. Every now and then I feel okay. Think I've been worrying myself sicker otherwise.

Man, this sucks! Extremities are freezing and then the chills return to make sure to remind me.

I lost my sense of taste and smell for a week, my stomach wasn't right for two weeks though. It was weird, I had zero desire to eat and didn't have the sensation of hunger.

My fever and chills lasted for 8 days. In the morning I'd be low at 99.4-99.5 but by nightfall I'd be around 101.

recovered quickly. lost of taste and smell came back with 33 seconds.

---

6 weeks. Got fatigued easily for a while.

I started feeling sick on Christmas day. Nothing crazy, yet at least. My symptoms have been only a cough so far. Actually I did have a headache and a slight sore throat yesterday too

wtf are ya talking about?

ya got flu common cold,

Rona has to do with BREATHING issues

---

Did you folks also feel like it was worse than it possibly was? If not for Covid I'd say I feel mild to moderate sickness. However, I think about it too much to the point of making it worse!

He might need a ventilator.

I was home 3 weeks.
First two I could do much besides lie in bed.
After that Ive got a cough for about 3 weeks but nothing else.

I don't know if it was Corona (it probably was, given that the one person not to get sick when everyone else in the house was sick tested positive in June and NO ONE ELSE got sick), but I was bedridden for 6 days, and it took like a week after that to be completely back to normal.

Honestly it felt less horrible than a normal stomach flu, it just lingered forever. The only thing I was worried about personally was getting my sense of taste and smell back.

The first day I noticed symptoms I had a sore throat and the worst fever/chills at night. Woke up with my sweater drenched in sweat. After that I had fatigue, headache, and loss of appetite (but I never lost my sense of taste or smell). I recovered mostly within a week, and had a cough for a second week, but now I feel pretty much back to normal.

I think a fever is a good thing, since it means your body is trying to kill the virus?

This is how my maybe-flu/maybe-Coronavirus went. A lot like a regular flu, but longer and more focused on the cough rather than stomach problems.

Also my back was in excruciating pain and it felt like my spine was trying to escape my body, but part of that can be attributed to me sleeping on an inflatable mattress at the time.

Me being middle of the pack here makes me feel a bit better about my situation since I assume everybody here recovered. Still feel shitty though.

:(

Like a week or two.

I still have a strange fever sensation every now and then 8 months later.

I'm on day 5 going into 6 and I'm feeling better than I did the past 2 nights. Still worried, admittedly.
