My girlfriend had that symptoms for few days, so I've told her to make the test, she got back and told me that the test was positive and we've got 2 weeks quarantine, it was august 26th.

The very next day I got really painful arthralgia (august 27th). The next day was fever that lasted till the thursday (august 29th). On the next day (30th august) I was feeling good, though that that was the end. Oh boy how I was wrong. Later on the same day I've had issues with breathing, friday night was nightmare with short shallow breathing and fever, that scared me a lot, never feel that way. I've gad few times pneumonia when I was a kid, but this was next level. The next day was better, so I didn't call an ambulance as they were already overwhelmed, but got to the hospital by myself and did the test with positive result. On the monday (september 2nd) I started coughing a lot, but the next day was much worse. With tuesday I started having headaches, dizziness and ear ache.. Coughing, headaches and dizziness lasted more than a week, with better and worse days.

It was the worst experience of the last few years, and it started with loss of smell an taste.

arthralgia = joint pain

Here's what happend to me:

Day 1: Fever, chills. I slept under 2 blanket and after 4 hours I started sweating so I threw off all the blankets.

Day 2: Took the test and came out positive but I started feeling good.

Day 3: I completely recovered. Got back to normal just like I was before

Day 4: fever back, wtf?

Day 5: cough started, lost taste

Day 6: Breathing difficulty, feeling pressure on chest

Day 7: joint pain started

Day 8: everything back to normal

Day 9-15: normal

I never lost my sense of smell. I am so sure about it because I was working on a DIY project at home where I was smelling distillate.

I had flu worse than this, if severe flus I experienced in paste were 90/100 then this would be at best 10/100 in severity, pain, discomfort.

I managed to work at home on my projects from my list and ate a lot and drink tons of water and slept peacefully.

lucky I don't experience respiratory problems but I got a false recovery like you, this last Tuesday. Before I had some fever and headaches for four days.

I had some fever this two last days. and I'm experiencing weird tastes with a few good ingredients. Today, I don't had fever but nearly all day I feel a lot of sluggishnes.

False recovery is the worst thing, when you think that this is the end, then sluggishnes and headaches comes to remind you that you are still sick. Headaches and sluggishnes with dizziness still keep coming back, like last monday it was bad to the point I though that I'll lie down on the floor and won't get up. From what I've found, every time when I feel sick, my blood pressure is above 140/90. Check yours It may be the case.

So you've had symptoms for 30 days ?

[aPoCoMiLogin]

Yes, and they are gone mostly now.

[varrock]

How are you feeling now? I hope you are doing better. It's hard to read your experience. These are very unfortunate times.

I'm doing much better now, thanks! Yeah I was a bit skeptical about covid, thought it was exaggerated, but when you go trough all of this by yourself, then you realize that it wasn't.

If you don't mind sharing, how old are you and did you have any pre-existing conditions? (You mentioned having pneumonia when you were younger).

30ish, one condition that I can think of is sinusitis, which I always have when I have the flu, with swelling of the eyes and stuffed nose. But this time there was no swelling nor stuffed nose.

also my brother when he was a kid, had pneumonia few times as I did, and when he's sick (mostly flu) he has the same issues that I've got.
