I was in mid-december, two weeks later I was hacking my brains out (not literally I think, but the jury is still out on that), massive headache, my entire body hurt, it was hard to breathe, I went through 3 plus bottles of expectorant cough syrup trying to make the cough productive, it finally broke after about 9 days.
I was self quarantining in the basement for the bulk of the time I was sick. I wasn’t sure what I had at the time, I assumed it was a bad flu. Now, I wonder...
We had a family reunion (dumbest thing ever, all seniors) and met at Disney Epcot third week of February for four days. When we returned, my husband became ill within the week. Complete exhaustion, sleeping constantly, aching throat, congestion. I became sick within three days of him. Similar symptoms, but I had a fever, aching throat and could not wake up. It went into my chest, and I kept saying, “I have never had a cold like this before.” Took us both about ten days to feel better. We now wonder if it was COVID. (Would never go back to Disney, wasn’t worth it even if we weren’t sick.)
All the symptoms of covid.
