How Many Of You Have Symptoms Of Covid?

[Vice]

I had one very mild bone ache over a week ago, and the occasional shortness of breath. Fatigue. Not sure if I have a temperature because the thermometer I ordered hasn't arrived yet, but otherwise I feel fine. My biggest exposure risk was two weekends ago, so I'm hoping to get past that without anything serious.

I am confident I have this virus.. Been having breathing issues.

I either try to ride it out isolated at home.. Or call for hospital help.

Fuk knows what I should do

CDC says to get help if you experience an emergency. If your symptoms get worse, go for it.

I suggest taking it real easy for the next few days, I heard that breathing the vapors from hot water can help.

Take the time to relax, eat immune-boosting foods, etc. Avoid alcohol.

I couldn't breath properly tonight man, had to take deep breaths and it lasted about 3 hours.

I've seen YouTube videos of some people who just stayed at home and rode it out, and now are better.

The other option is Try get to the hospital

I had flu like symptoms (fever, shortness of breath, chest burning) for a week now and finally went in to get tested on Wednesday. The turning point was shortness of breath. It was a smart decision because I had an upper respiratory tract infection and was given Zithromax and can breath better now. My test results won’t come in for a few days but I feel 100% recovered already.

If you have doubts, go see a medical provider right away. They will do more than just test for the Coronavirus. They will also give you the flu test and do chest X-rays to check for pneumonia and other bacterial infections. No point laboring at home trying to diagnose yourself if you have medical insurance.

No doctor or hospital is willing to see me

Telemedicine has really taken off during this pandemic. You can try Teledoc, or Dr On Demand.

Or your city might have a few hospitals offering it. I know my city literally has a 5 minute wait for telemedicine sessions provided by a major hospital.

You're saying one of the richest countries on earth doesn't have sh1t? Pretty much every developed country has telemedicine nowadays.
Just try harder and stop the victim mentality.
Shortness of breath is not to take lightly but creating a thread like this tells me you're the anxiety kind of person and people like that are prone to make things worse than they really are just because their minds are playing tricks on them, zekko nailed it.

Is there a checkpoint somewhere where you can get tested?

I’ll be 100% honest here. I believe I already had it back in January. This was WAY before the crazy **** started happening. I was wrecked for two weeks straight. Symptoms all the same. Doc said it was a sinus infection/upper respiratory. I felt it was more than that due to my symptoms. Symptoms were: sore throat, phlegm drip, green and bloody snot/chest congestion, fever of 102.6 (mind you I was taking Tylenol), had a tough time breathing especially at night laying down(had to be propped up), body aches were horrible.

Npr interviewed a guy with it. He said he could barely get off the couch for 3 weeks, was very tired all the time.

I wonder if I had it too during the same period. Same symptoms but I didn't seem to have a fever, at least during the time that I checked. I wish I could know if I had it or not.

@soulforge Let us know when you can how you're doing.

Woke up yesterday with an itchy throat. Figured out it was seasonal allergies after it cleared up when getting ready, but hit me again a little when outside as I stared at my black car that turned green.

one of my gay friends told me those sound like symptoms of sucking dvick, careful mate.

Definitely keep us posted, the difficulty breathing part sounds scary, I'd say if it gets terrible call emergency.

I wouldn't know

I have no symptoms since I never get sick even with flu or with anything else. I can't actually remember last time I got sick with the flu, probably no more than 1 or 2 times in my whole life.

I think I saw a lot of comments on different videos and forums of British and US people having experienced stronger "flu" symptoms even back to November/December 2019 period so I think this thing might have even occurred naturally (or maybe not) and it's a more aggressive version of the flu.

On the other hand, I think a lot of people rely too much on health products, personal care, cleaning products, etc. I do not compulsively wash my hands everytime I go out and come back. A lot of times I eat with hands I've had on my camera for a couple of hours and having touched other things, too. I think it is a strong reason why I have a strong immunity and never get sick, cause I allow my body and immunity system to handle dirt and viruses from time to time.

Also, I wash my hair very rarely, let the scalp fat settle in and my hair is much healthier than all the women and most men I know. I think our society in general has become too self protective and cleansing and "detoxing" and all that. Too many handwash, sanitizers, shampoos, too many floor disinfecters, too much. That's me.

Throughout this whole winter and spring I have felt nothing unusual, keep going strong.

Did soulforge just die from this virus? Why isn't he replying or updating this thread after complaining he can't breath. Soulforge...please say something if you are here.

at the start of the cold/flu, when you still have the sore throat, stuffy nose, fever, and whatever other head symptoms, douse your inner ears with alcohol(you can pour it in periodically, during the day, and sleep with alcohol soaked cotton balls in your ears, at night),

How in the hell do you get cotton balls through your Eustachian Tubes?

The Basics of Ear Infections

WebMD explains the causes of ear infections.

[DelayedGratification]

Is that a serious question? You keep the cotton balls in your outer ears. They're just there to retain the alcohol, to help give it an opportunity to soak in.

Well, you said inner ear, which isn't your ear canal And upper-resp infections tend not to have the ear canal as a vector. That pesky ear-drum gets in the way.

So it's unclear what alcohol in the ear canal will accomplish, other than perhaps loosen up some ear wax.
