Day two of my first time having Covid, whatever the current variant is.
So far it’s not as bad as yesterday, feels like it’s turning into a head cold. I can still smell and taste, headache isn’t as bad (so far) and haven’t had much chest pains, lungs feel ok so far. Spit up some gunk during the night, but that’s probably from smoking weed and all the mucus going down my throat. Worst part is the lack of energy. My sinuses hurt so my entire face hurts.
Yesterday was pretty rough. Fever (although nothing crazy like i’ve had before), sore throat, stuffed nose, sore legs and a lack of sleep. Couldn’t believe how physical it felt, legs were fucked. Seems to be gone today.
Fever had my mind racing and I ended up sleeping 3 hours in two days. I’d get cold, then hot, then cold etc… I’m knocking my ass out with Nyquil tonight, I’m fucking exhausted.
For everyone who have had it, did you notice your symptoms coming in waves ? I’d be fine for an hour or so, than boom, two hours of hell, then back to normal for a bit etc…
Surprised it took this long to catch it seeing as I wasn’t the most careful, still haven’t gone in big crowds though. I’ve got 3 vax doses, didn’t get the 4th one because the 3rd one had me fucked up.
What a strange illness.
Pretty sure I just had it again. Thought I had food poisoning or something from eating undercooked beef but I ended up being varying degrees of sick for about 11 days, feeling 80% yesterday.
Low grade fever, no appetite but also very much constipated and the belly was rumbling, followed by head aches, then chest aches/lung issues, followed by sinus issues. Didn't lose smell or taste this time, in fact, now that I'm feeling better my sense of smell is exceptionally strong- this was the case prior to Delta last August, I was very sensitive to smells and it had been muted the past 13 months.
Regarding the waves, I said to my lady last night that this bout, with the waves and peaks, felt like a poison mushroom trip in some ways. Waves of anxiety, waves of nausea, waves of feeling decent.
What finally helped was taking 100mg trazadone 3 nights in a row, forcing me to sleep long and hard.
Whatever this variant is its not hit me like Delta, but feels similar.
As you said, its a strange illness. Having been through synthetic drug withdrawals, that is the closesproblemsI can compare a bad case of covid to. Not the "I've been doing percs for a week and have the flu" shit, but a hard benzo withdrawal with both body and mind problems.
Def feels like something designed to fuck people up.
Take care of yourself,
@Boognish. Weed kinda makes it worse for me, water helps
