Exposed twice or three times and had once or twice. Was milder than flu second round or had a sever bout before covid was supposed to be in the air around nov 2019. Anyway survived
My daughter and grandson had it. She was ill about 6 days and missed two weeks worth of work. 12 year old grandson was ill about 4 days. Unusually long duration for someone his age.
What exactly are you looking for?
My wife got it in March. Tested positive Sick at home for two weeks. Very miserable. I initially tested negative, then I got it half way through. Tested positive. I was sick for one week. We both recovered at about the same time. I was not as sick as she was. Worked at home, as usual, didn’t miss a day, did work some reduced hours. We both have tested negative since, no lingering effects. No vaccines for either of us — I’m not messing up my natural immunity with any sort of experiment mRNA crap.
I never caught it. I kept him sequestered on the other side of the house for about a solid week.
Though, the morning he started feeling sick (sore throat, congestion) I did drive in the car with him for about an hour total. We got up early and went somewhere. He often is stuffed up in the morning and didn't realize he was actually getting sick for a couple of hours.
I think I had it 15 months ago
Having the blood antibody ...the big draw not the prick ....test done mañana
To determine about vaccines
A new true vaccine is coming...
one of the people who were also invected had a low grade fever for 5 days and it broke. He had a few comorbidities but got thru it. Then he gets vaccinated about 6 months later (Pfizer) and had to admit to me the first shot side affects were worse than actual COVID. Wiped him out. Second shot not as bad but then about 3 weeks later he developed Shingles and has been suffering with it for more than two months now.
Went on a trip with my daughter and about 5 days later my muscles were aching. The next day my muscles really hurt and fatigue set in; got tested that day and the next day it came back positive.
There were no other symptoms except extreme fatigue and muscle aches. My doctor prescribed a kit of several drugs and I took zinc, quercetin, palmitoylethanolamide (to prevent any neuroinflammation), vitamin C and vitamin D. After four days the fever broke and fatigue lasted two weeks.
Meningitis, pneumonia and getting run over by a car were far worse experiences.
Six days ago I left Florida, which was very crowded and nobody was masked. This time I do not feel sick—hopefully natural immunity kicked in if I was exposed to the virus.
I was in Chinatown in SF late December 2019
Jan 4th, hit with high fever and nausea PLUS coughing, congestion. vertigo/headache intermittently
Basically a very bad flu and a very bad cold at the same time. No sense of smell or taste for about a week; actually very *strange* smell and taste for a bit after that. Meat and potatoes and other good stuff smelled disgusting.
I was quite sick for four days, up and ambulatory by the 5th day and back at work by the 11th.
My long capacity and power were diminished quite severely; I had run a half marathon in 2:20 a month before, I wasn’t able to run for three weeks and it took several months to get back to being able to do 10K. I’m still not where I was as far as longer distances.
Age: 59, weight at the time: 195 height 6’.
I had it July 2020, got pneumonia and spent 9 days in the hospital. I got the Remdisivir treatment and insulin as my blood sugar shot up higher than ever. The good news is that I lost 20 lbs and have kept it off since, as well as keeping a daily exercise regiment. I see no need to get vaccinated, at least not this year.
Late June. Delta variant several weeks of coughing, sore throat, low grade fever. I still have a cough that feels like allergies.
Moderna in April
I haven’t had it but my brother in law in Missouri did back in January. 78 yr old guy, fairly healthy working 4 days a week at Lowes (likely where he caught it) plus running a lawn care business with two employees. He was on a vent for 3 weeks which has really hurt his health and will likely spend the rest of his life in a nursing home. Both his lungs and his brain are affected.
These are the patients who “survived” but don’t show up at the .3% that “die”.
Had it in November.
Lost my sense of smell. Maybe some tiredness. No fever.
Wife also had it. Fever. Cough. Tiredness.
If it hadn’t been in the news, I would not noticed I was sick.
Wife was hit harder.
As of two weeks ago, still have antibodies. Doc suspects I was exposed within the least three months and knocked it out of my system.
Had it in January. Caught from my son during Christmas dinner at his house. My son had basically no symptoms except loss of taste and smell for about a week. He tested positive.
I had low grade fever (99.8) for about 36 hours, followed mild sinus congestion. I never lost taste or smell. Back to work after my 10 day voluntary quarantine. I also tested positive. Took Ivermectin after symptoms had already receded. I couldn’t tell any difference.
My wife then caught it, had very annoying sinus congestion, no fever, but tested positive. She lost taste and smell for several months. It is slowly returning but still not back to normal, but otherwise she is fine.
Wife and I had it in February. We were both tired for about 5 days. She had a head ache for a few days and lost taste for months. I had no headache but lost my smell for months. Actually just started getting it back slightly. We were both just tested for antibodies and both came back negative. We both have autoimmune disorders that make our immune system over active. No vaccine for us. I heard a doctor say if you have had it that even if you have no antibodies that your immune system still has a memory of it and will fight it off..
Wife had it but cleared it in 5 days. I was exposed but never came down with it.
Wife & I both had it in January. Less than very short and mild flu. Wife did have low fever, I did not. Flu-like aches & pains. Two days for me, 3 for her.
No residual symptoms, no loss of taste, intelligence (noticeable) or anything else.
I am 76, she 75, I have 2 co-morbidities but am very healthy - I’m 20 lbs. overweight and have cardiovascular disease, triple bypass 12 years ago - but I can maintain 85% max heart-rate for an hour cycling with no problem, have normal BP.
But then, as the test may have been faulty, did we have Covid-19, or just a mild flu?
Only God knows.....
We are fine.
Had it right around Christmas of 2020. Felt run down, had sniffles/congestion, and lost smell/taste. Overall, not a great experience, but not horrible. My wife and kids (19, 21) got it as well around that time.
Fortunately, I was working from home, so I did not miss work at all.
Had a surgery in late December then contracted C-19 a week and a half later. Don’t know how or where as I was going to stores and shopping some for Christmas (several suggested I might have gotten it at hospital).
Woke up one morning and felt hot. Checked temp and it was 103. Went to Doc in Box and tested positive. Was given steroid pack and Z-pak. Started keeping track of temp and other symptoms. Lost smell/taste for 48 hrs. Got pulse oximeter and never went downward on that front. Two weeks later pretty much recovered. Had to get a negative test in order to visit my surgeon for follow up (they wouldn’t see me until). This all happened during surgery leave from my work.
Surgery recovery somewhat clouded experience of C-19. I was quickly off pain meds and normal bowel function was back post anaesthesia then got hit with virus. Bowel function off again. The steroids messed up my sleep cycle and I developed insomnia and some kind of weird panic attack series (hard to describe, still don’t know what that was…maybe not having work to drain energy? being at home with seemingly endless energy and flipped sleep?). I felt like I was trapped in my home, which took on a threatening appearance instead of feeling like “home”. I cried a lot (which I don’t do easily in normal life). Once back to work this eventually subsided and “normal” sleep came back (with help of Melatonin).
Vaccine was not available to all when I got sick. Now, based on research, I don’t believe it’s safe for a Covid-recovered person to take the vaccine.
(Through all this, the Lord and my friends/family got me through!)
