When I was sick, I was looking for others who had similar experiences to me. Found some on this board which helped. Gave me a little encouragement that it would be over soon. I figured I'd add mine.
39 years old. Unvaccinated. No comorbidities to speak of. I'm generally healthy. Exercise 4-5 times a week.
But a few weeks ago I got shingles. Probably from stress. Then as i was finally recovering my kid got covid at school. Everyone in my family got it then. I'm the only one who was just destroyed. I had every single symptom listed. The worst was the nausea.
Day 7 was the worst of it. There was a point when I was laying on the bathroom floor sweating and debating whether I would just sleep there that I thought maybe I should go to the hospital. I didn't eat for three days and lost 7 pounds. I didn't go though and somehow made it back in bed.
Day 8 I slept through the night for the first time and woke up feeling like a new man. All the symptoms decreased tremendously. Still don't have taste and smell, but I can deal with that. I'm out of quarantine now and gaining strength back.
That sucked. But everything changed for me on Day 8. It was night and day.
