Just wanted to document my journey so far.

On Monday during my normal mid day exercise walk I started feeling really achy. Knees and back hurt. I didn't think too much of it as I have some nerve damage from two herniated discs that cause some leg aches fairly regularly.

By Monday evening the aching was worse to where I was constantly twitching and moving legs.....was at a dinner but didn't really eat, came home took a hot bath to try to soothe body and then went to bed......tossed and turned all night....ran 100 fever. No congestion but had sore throat.

Tuesday -Wednesday ran fever off and on up to 100.7. Plenty of energy and actually didn't even feel bad....had the fever but no head ache or body aches. A little cough started to develop and sore throat went away. Walked 2 miles Wednesday night around the block as had a bunch of energy.

Thursday morning my fever was up to 101.8...I took a ibuprofen to knock it down at 4am but decided after that wore off I was going to let fever ride the rest of the day. It came back up to the 101.7 level and stayed at 101 all day. I still didn't feel bad that is typical of being sick...without the fever i would have felt normal except my cough did get a little worse but not bad. Eating normal, still get hungry and eating fine. Fell asleep fairly early at around 8.

Today woke up and temp was down to 99.5 with no ibuprofen since Thursday morning.....but had a major headache I think from sleeping too long and my neck was hurting from all the laying down. Felt clammy and thought I might puke for the first hour I was up. I took all my vitamins and went ahead and took some ibuprofen for my headache and neck.....have felt fine after that first hour. No cough today either. Maybe that was the breaking point?

I have been taking 20,000 D3, a multivitamin and elderberry gummy that has zine and vitamin c.

Dang that doesn't sound good. So you don't think it over based on what I described?

Might be worth going to your local CVS and grabbing an antigen, at home test for $30.

Hopefully you've stayed away from others?

I've been at home since Monday night...tried to stay in my room as much as possible.


I did not want to get tested as it would mean quarantine for my daughter if it comes back positive which I already probably know it would. My thought was to self isolate so not sure what a test is really going to change.

So you're fine with your daughter perhaps spreading it? You seem to believe you have it but believe if you don't confirm it, she won't have it quarantine, this I do not understand.

We need more people like you. This nonsense would be just like any other "sick" if so. Thank you for showing your family how it's done.

Disregard for others is absolutely NOT a trait we need more of.

Get tested. Honestly 10 days of quarantine isn't that bad, and kids are pretty adaptablemore than us in many ways!

I have not been in close contact with my daughter since saturday....she has stayed at grandparents house but schools do not care and would just auto quarantine her. Of course I dont want her to have it or spread it.

Read the post I responded to glamorizing the example he claimed you set for your family by avoiding the test.

You realize if you have it, you likely were infectious several days prior to having symptoms.

Took a at home test last night and it came back positive.

On a good note I havent had any fever for the last two days and cough has been minimal. Have just battled some slight headaches the last two days. I walked 3 miles yesterday and 3 more today.

I think I am on the downhill slope here. I am on day 6.

Our school district doesn't require siblings to quarantine unless they are symptomatic. Right or wrong, the point is that unless you feel sick, you may as well be out and about. This stuff is literally everywhere, and everyone will get it. I chose to face it with a shot, because I appreciate not living in the Dark Ages.
94chem,
That, sir, was the greatest post in the history of TexAgs. I salute you. -- Dough

Because kids aren't vectors, so if he's taking action to quarantine himself, and his girl is not likely to spread it, then??

Cue the kids "could" spread it and the amount of genetic material found in children is on par with adults despite minimal symptoms. But make sure you ignore the fact that live virus was not measured in the "high viral load" studies and to date there has still not been a good study identifying children as spreading the virus at a rate even close to adults.

All good thanks for asking. I had about 4 days of bad symptoms before things started getting much better for me.

I never did have any breathing issues thankfully.
