So I Was Tested Positive for Covid-19

I started feeling the symptoms about 9 days ago. Then went in to test about 5 days in (getting and appointment was a pain) so I was pretty much over the symptoms then. The person at the clinic told me that it feels more-so like a basic cold for younger people like me, which I already knew.

The worst part about it wasn’t even the virus itself. It was the sores formed in my throat following my immune system going into overdrive.. it started out as a sore throat, but later developed into canker sores that are still burning and aching (despite treatments). It’s insanely hard to eat even soft foods and water/milk. Waking up after a long sleep is also very painful since I’ve been breathing in a bunch of air past it and swallowing very little, so it’s as dry as can be. I basically never get them in my throat unless I get sick. So I’m ready for this shit to be over.

Hopefully you took precautionary measures! But regardless feel better!
 
I know Shadowlands is hype but not like this, brah...

That god damn 5G commie china tech *shakes fist*

Nah, but seriously, don't underestimate it. Younger people can and have died. I've heard Vitamin D plays a role in lung infections severity, nothing is certain but I would suggest a supplement if you're not already yo. Hope you get well soon and those around you stay safe, fam.
 
Best of luck to ya mon with recovery.

Good one, but I don't think XPOFF members go outdoors.

... ya really think that all of us are just twitch streamers, mixers, or youtubas?

don’t know about ya, but not everyone of us makes the same amount on the internet moolah on here.
 
Luckily theres an endless amount of dribble to sift thru here, lol. I was at work so I was brief. Were you able to trace it back to the point of origin? How were you symptoms 48 hrs ago compared to 24 hrs ago? You're not alone homie, almost ahead of the curve if you try and spin it that way.

It's hard not to be a nay-sayer and a debbie downer during all this, especially if you're working 48-54 ish hrs a week (ugh fml). I appreciate you taking the time to share with us TommyG (forever robo to me). Sharing is caring and know that there are people who care for you here!

Oh and your Dad downloaded Tiktok that made me LOL

Alumni forever!!

 
Were you able to trace it back to the point of origin?

nope. I’ve been a hermit for the most part of 3 months and I’ve had brief trips to the grocery store and gas station wearing a mask and washing my hands. So it kinda pisses me off that I got it. It seems statistically unlikely. But I guess I was an odd one out.

How were you symptoms 48 hrs ago compared to 24 hrs ago?

well again I’m over all the symptoms. I just have the indirect effect of canker sores forming in my throat. But When I first noticed it, I felt a tight chest at night, followed by a fever in the morning and later minor coughing. The fevers were on and off for about 3 days, sometimes with headaches. The coughing for me never got to a serious point (luckily wasn’t about to clear my throat and lungs pretty well), and I have had REALLY bad coughing spells from previous colds. And there was no nasal congestion. It all started subsiding after that.


do you live in a city with 5G towers? please keep me updated

Yeah but they’re downtown lmfao. I know it’s a meme but I’m honestly curious about it over the course of time. The science on its safety has been vague.
 
After reading your response, I'm starting to believe you, which made me reconsider some things... This thread was an eye-opener for me. You made me realize that the coronavirus is actually a serious matter. So I've started sanitizing my entire home now because of you.

All door handles. Even the outdoors.
The code system for my gate.
The light switches.
Coffee machine
Cabinet handles
Microwave
the remote controllers for my TVs
my car handles and steering wheel
the consoles for my playstation 4
my gym equipment I have in my private gym
Fridge and refrigerator handles
PC keyboards and mice
My phones
my watches
the outside of my washing machine and dishwasher

...with universal cleaner and then disinfectant in order to protect myself and my family. Thank you for informing you about this threat!
