I had something in April. Don’t know if it was flu or Covid, have not been tested. Started with a dry cough and mild sore throat, pretty bad fatigue was the main symptom, slept a lot, taking out the garbage made my heart beat out of my chest. Weird shoulder pain. The runs and then loose stool. The shivers a little bit, ended with some dry heaving and only then did I have a little phlegm. Lasted about 8 days. Exposure was 5 or 6 days before symptoms started.

No fever(!), no loss of taste or smell and no trouble breathing despite having mild asthma.

I think some places offer antibody test for free

I paid 120

I'm high risk but apparently not too bad...
I've developed pulmonary emboli since then and I'm on eliquis so I'm reluctant on the vax route given clotting issues...

I was happy to learn I was right that I had had it...I wasn't certain given it was so mild...less than a summer cold honestly

I swear by the plaquenil .....etc

My asthmatic son and nicotine vaping rib were much more sick...it was like a flu for them..
My other four kids it wasn't too bad.

My son-in-law was fairly sick..

I again swear by plaquenil

Trump was right.

My symptoms started with an annoying dry cough that lasted 3 weeks. I never had the sniffles or a sore throat, so it wasn’t my normal cold. I had a low grade temperature from 98 up to 100.3 (my usual range is 96-97 so I knew something was up) which lasted about 10 days, but no real shortness of breath. I was really fatigued for about 3 weeks with a dull headache that lasted about a week. No nausea, diarrhea, or difficulty with smell/taste. Hubby had what he thought was a pink eye infection for about a week, but no symptoms otherwise.
