 Attached FileWoke up yesterday feeling like I got the shit kicked out of me. Head foggy, bit of a sore throat. Feel pretty good today but went in for a test and was positive so in quarantine now. I'm 31, unvaccinated, BMI 26.4, non smoker, no underlying health issues, regular drinker. I'm mostly just taking a swig of dayquil here or there to knock the edge off. |

Drop the Dayquil. Switch to gin and tonic.
HTH, and good luck. |

Day 8 through 10 is when the bad stuff hits, if it hits.
You most likely will be just fine though. |

What are you basing the 8-10 comment on? Lots of people I've talked to, cases I've read about and my personal experience. Dr even told me what was going to happen when I tested postive. I felt good the day I tested positive (day 3) and Dr told me day 8-10 were the days to worry about. That is when the lung inflammation is the worst if it happens. |

With what you posted, if you feel like this at day 2 (possibly more), you have another day at most then you're in the clear. You're in the same position that the majority of people are in. Stay hydrated, eat some foods, and take some more day/nyquil. Also, make sure you move around a little.

In the OP's age group, and mine (a bit older than OP), of slightly below average to good health, it's every day/normal for it to not hit bad. Out of well over 100 people, I know literally 1 person that ended up with pneumonia, but is now fine. That was about a 2 week ordeal for him. Most of us were fine within a day or two. I know another heavy drinker/diabetic otherwise healthy that felt like shit for nearly 2 weeks. Again, everyone else, fine in a day or two (including myself). |

The onset of my covid was a migraine headache
that went from the left side of my head back to the base of my neck, again left side only. Like a wide stripe. Then my nose literally leaked like a faucet, both nostrils, simultaneously, for 3 or 4 days. Again, with literally no lung nor head fullness/congestion. It was a constant leak/flow. After day 5 the fever came, I maxed out at 102.4 But I was proactive and used ice packs on my head, chest, and the back of my neck. Replacing them every 2 hours or so. Break that fever at all costs! My fever lasted 3 days, but once tamed, it literally faded away quickly. The congestion that others have reported at the onset of their covid experience, came much later for me, like after day 10 or so. Lungs, forehead, wet cough, but it dissipated after 3 days or so. The worst symptoms, for me, (around day 6) were the body aches. A painful stripe that went from the base of my neck, along my spine, terminating at the small of my back. Weirdly.. the left side only. Then that fleeted away, replaced by an excruciating pain in my lower back, laterally. It was as though some one had hit me there with a 2x4. I was one of the odd ones that experienced the repulsion to chicken. I could not stand the taste of chicken for weeks. That too faded away, thank God. Stay hydrated, drink pedialite, eat soups, tame the fever, and keep up the fight...!!! |

Day 3. Feeling pretty decent. Bit of a headache and muscle soreness but that seems to be the common theme here for me. Got a good 8 hours of sleep in.
Easiest way to describe it is how you feel next morning after a night drinking and getting in a fight. Just sore all over, headache, foggy. But 24/7. I am taking a pretty heavy dose of Zinc, D3 and Vitamin C every morning. My appetite hasn't changed so been eating normally. No cough or phlegm today. Chest, lungs and throat feel probably 98%..there's a slight tickle in there. I guess I'll be documenting my symptoms day by day for posterity. Thanks to all who have chimed in. |

DayQuil and the like will mask symptoms and set you for a really bad time. I was taking NyQuil/DayQuil when I had a cold 20-25 years ago, when I finally went to the doc he said if I had waited another day I would have been in the ER....if I made it there at all. I had a severe case of pneumonia.

Wife has been symptomatic since Tuesday, tested pos on Wednesday. I had a slight cough Wednesday tested negative. I tested positive on Thursday using the 3 day test.
Both have had a slight cough, muscle aches, and tiredness. I had a fever of 101 one night. Worst part so far has been loss of taste and smell. It’s just weird as shit to make coffee and not smell it. Can still taste sugar well and some apples I picked last week almost taste too sweet to eat. |
