I am 1 month (and 2 days) after onset of covid symptoms and finally I feel recovered.
About 4 days ago I got my energy back, only lingering symptoms now are I can smell and taste very, very little. Sometimes I think it's coming back as a get a whiff of something and then, take a deeper sniff and nope, can't smell it. I also have rib and breast bone pain from coughing my guts out for 3 weeks.
Anyone else with us that had covid? It may be nice to compare notes to help encourage eachother.
Day 1 - cough and no other symptoms, easy to brush off.
Day 2, 3,4 fever in the evening and all over sick, dragging flu feeling, very upset at the thought I had covid. The count was on, we have had a lot of fear instilled into us and counting the days since symptom onset is a common thing because at about a week some people crash and end up in the hospital. The fear is real.
Day 6 positive Sofia 2 SARS Antigen FIA Swab test
Week 1 and 2, height of symptoms, sick all over body flu feeling, cough (awful), taste and smell gone, headache, fatigue, heart racing with slight activity, out of breath quickly also stomach and diarrhea (sorry tmi) Every day I thought tomorrow will be better but it was the same, symptoms hang on which feels like will I ever get rid of this thing?
Worst of it was for about 2 weeks (with some short moments of, hey, I feel better, then nope I don't)
Week 3 I was functioning but still not great
Week 4 return of energy hurrah !!
