COVID-19 check in thread

My throat hurts more now than before. I am drinking warm cider, which helps.
The coughing has also started. I hate coughing.

 

[jack]

Gargle some warm salt water. That might help

 

[Mirah]

I know. : (
It always does. So far the cider is helping. Hopefully I will be asleep soon.

 

[Mirah]

I always use the gargle w/ salt water as a last resort. I did it. It worked. For about 30 minutes. But the warm water was nice.

I woke up dizzy today

Why is there no hugging smiley reaction...

 

[Mirah]

The heart one is probably the closest.

I feel less dizzy now. Hungry for real food. But I dont think my body is ready yet.

I'm keeping tabs on my symptoms and how I feel because I might have a tendancy to later on say, "It wasn't too bad" I mean right now I feel better, I'm not coughing, I feel hot and I am about to eat some eggs and rice. But later I might feel like crap again.

Night is the toughest. I finally am using my humidifier to see if that helps and it just feels like cold air to me. But maybe I don't need it so close to my bed. I'm trying to make it as warm as I can in my place.
Outside temps cooled down to 60 something which is amazing!

My throat hurts and sinuses feel raw, but there is that time of day I felt really good and had a great meal tonight.

EAT HAPPY FOOD.

Feeling better yet today and this evening.
Same sore throat, drink some warm cider, feels better.

A friend on Twitter had to let me know that they were able to take paxlovid and the symptoms went away! (I'm happy for them)

I made some hummus this morning. I bet it tastes great! But I cant taste it.

I cleaned with bleach, I can't smell it AT ALL

Paxlovid works, except for it tastes like metal in your mouth the whole time you're on it and it makes your ears ring like fuck.

 

[Mirah]

I don't really have access to that. But I do hear it works great! Most of my symptoms are gone now.

You have to be 60 or over to get it prescribed, or maybe 65.. I've never taken it (haven't had Covid yet) but people I know who have had it say it works very well.

Chicken soup.

This will be my last update unless something significant happens. I walked 1.5 miles tonight. It felt good. Throat is a little tender, but doing better and I still can't taste or smell, which is so wierd.
So basically covid for me lasted just 1 week as it was last Sunday I began feeling fatigued. Day 3 & 4 were the worst w/ body aches, and headache and then the throat. I slept alot, tried to drink as much fluids as I could and took my vitamins.
