Last week I was in Los Angeles for a checkup. I was not quite asleep in the Rolling Steel Tent when I started to feel a buzzing sensation throughout my body. And a bit of a head and neck ache. Oh no, early Covid-19 symptoms? I took a couple of Advil and went back to bed. I felt fine in the morning.
A couple of days later I was back in the desert and became aware of a very mild body ache. Okay, is this a symptom? It eventually went away.
The next day I felt sluggish and I was producing a lot of snot. It was a symptom of something, but of Covid-19? A friend said it sounded like a sinus thing, not a lung problem. Was I short of breath? No.
The following day I started coughing. Mostly from my slightly misshapen epiglottis trying to deal with all the snot. At least I hoped that was all it was.
Yesterday evening I felt achy and tired again, and my digestive tract was rumbling. Oh, I’ve scarcely eaten. A sandwich took care of that.
Is sneezing a symptom? What about hiccups?
These small symptoms make me anxious, but I’ve been feeling this way long enough that if it were Covid-19 I would be feeling much worse by now. Or I could be infected and I’m one of those who isn’t going to get horribly sick. Or maybe Covid-19 is just taking its sweet time messing me up. I don’t know. Fingers are crossed. After I wash my hands again.
Jeeeeezzzussss .... :-( Any bets that'll be any of us soon? I'll probably have an aching toe, wonder if it's a lesser-known Covid19 symptom, panic, revise my will, and only then remember I stubbed my toe. This shit is genuinely scary.
ReplyDeleteI got the same symptoms too, part of kemo symptoms, these symptoms will diminish with time. Kemo takes quite awhile to work it's way out of your bod.
ReplyDeleteI was sick with SARS for the entire month of March 2003. So weak I could barely climb one flight of stairs and I was ONLY 45 years old at that time.
ReplyDeleteWe're you prescribed a remedy by a doctor? What was prescribed?
DeleteThere is NO cure for SARS more than 17 years since the first infection.
