What to do if I have COVID? Treatment & Recovery at Home ~ UPDATE

I’m 67 and just recovered at home from a 3 week ordeal with COVID. The most important advice I can give is not to panic! People will scare the hell out of you, the result of which is heightened anxiety. The more anxious you become, the worse your symptoms appear to be. I had no respiratory symptoms, yet because of anxiety, was having episodes of shortness of breath. My symptoms started with a low grade fever and chills for 2 nights. Then came the body aches along with a terrible bout with burning skin on my torso and back. My skin hurt so badly that it effected my sleep. After a week, I lost my sense of smell and taste. The fatique was pretty bad the next week and I became depressed. In my 3rd week, I had nausea and diarrhea. After 3 weeks, January 31st, I started to go for short walks with my wife (who was sick right along side me the whole time). Each day, we walked a little more and breathed very deeply while outside. My taste has returned (she never lost hers) and we are both back to our normal routines. The biggest difference (for me) between COVID and the Flu was the duration of the illness and the multitude of symptoms. Just when you think you’ve turned the corner, a new symptom appears and knocks you down again. This causes depression because you thought you were home free.

I’ve tested positive for COVID-19, please people pray for me 🤲🏻. I wish and pray for everyone to get well and recover from COVID-19 as soon as possible. Much love ❤️.

I tested positive 3 days ago , today is day 4 of a wicked head cold , plugged sinuses,headache and helium head . I’m triple vaxxed and not getting worse , but not feeling better yet . Best of luck to all on your personal journey with covid , this virus is a damn strange chameleon. 🙏🏻

My personal warning signs of covid was when my body was burning up and not cooling down, yet my feet were feeling extremely cold. The next day, my entire body was sore. Took a rapid test and I tested positive for covid.

im 30, male. got my sore throat on friday 11/2. i didnt know it was covid at that time. and then night time when i sleep. i suddenly have a high fever, headache and joint pain. i dont suffer from sneezing and heavy coughing. i did the ART Test and it came out positive. Then on Sunday and Monday ( yesterday) im feeling okay without any fever, just a light sore throat and dry cough. and as of now. i can feel that everytime a take a deep breath, its like theres a mucus. but when i try to cough, its still adry cough. what should i do now? i already have 2 dose of vaccine. and this is my first time getting infected with covid. please pray for me and my family.

This sh** is not a joke! I've been sick for 4 days now and when you think it's getting better - it's not! I have it all: sore throat, runny nose, fever, headaches, muscle pain, weakness 😫 I'm 3 times vaccinated and this is horrible. Stay safe people, and I pray we all get recovered soon 🙏

I have covid and I feel miserable. The intermittent fevers and chills are hard to cope with and the sick feeling. I live alone. I don’t do much housework atm. I find it’s important to take care of myself by keeping warm or cool and having a warm scarf near my chest. My son brought me a care package & left it at the door. A friend is going to bring me some groceries today, I think. It’s important to eat healthily as you can. I hope it doesn’t get any worse for me and I hope you all get better soon

This morning, my younger Brother woke up with a fever and body aches, he took a home Covid test and tested positive. He's gonna take an actual test tomorrow, but it looks like after 2 whole years of avoidance of the virus, it looks like it may have finally caught up to us.

It's so weird because this variant that's going around today is so contagious and everybody that's getting it has not had it for the last two and a half years and we're all fully vaccinated

Im 14 and just did a home covid test and got positive. I’m laying in bed and have headaches and sometimes my throat hurts. I’ll try to be as calm as possible and I will try to update you guys and incase you have Covid too, I hope you recorder quickly and have a nice day!!

I'm 13, fully vaccinated with Pfizer, ive been diagnosed today, I woke up today with a bad cluster headache, stuffy yet slightly runny nose, and my throat has been quite sore and dry for around 3 days (if ur throat is sore for a few days I would recommend getting a test <3), fatigue, and a 100.7° F fever. I had slightly more severe conditions, due to not coughing much my throat is stuffed and my oxygen levels are low. I still dont understand much, just taking my prescriptions and staying calm. Additionally I cant have red meats, pasta, or rice, and I have to sleep facing down to avoid difficulty breathing. If any of you get the symproms I named out of nowhere I strongly recommend getting a test, I wish all you fellow fighters good luck and may you recover quickly! Edit: I have recovered and am fully healthy now! Thanks to everybody who wished well :)

At one night i woke up feeling like a car ran over me, huge muscle aches and fever along with chest pain. A week of feeling every inch of my muscles getting stabbed by needles, high fever, feeling like not getting enough breath etc. For the first few days i could only stay awake for like 4 or 5 hours, spent the week by sleeping and taking vitamin c which helped a lot. My symptoms were gone after a week but brain fog stayed for 15 days more afterwards i was fine. Taking rests and not letting anxiety hold onto you plays a big role on recovery. Stay safe.

I got the first symptoms a week ago and today I still feel like crap. It feels like a very bad cold that refuses to go away, but so far this has been more annoying than dangerous.

This video will benefit a lot of people who have COVID-19! 👍

I had the worst fever and chills at the same time yesterday, I wanted to cover in 3 blankets but at the same time I was boiling, worst day ever I tested positive and know will go thru COVID

i’m 16, female. got my sore throat 7/2. was on a cruise from the carribbean and noticed my symptoms the day before we went back to port canaveral. woke up at 6:30 to leave the ship and felt nauseous and feverish. spent probably 4 hours of the 7 hour drive home sleeping, threw up in the car a couple times. finally got home and slept for what felt like all day. took some afrin to relieve the sinus congestion and felt a little better, at least well enough to unpack my bags, but it’s been on a again off again energy.

Just tested positive and have a fever and sore throat and congestion. It sucks.

Sadly after dogging the covid infection (chemical warfare infection), it's got me. I think I'm on day 3 or 4 possibly 5 I don't know. Started with a razor blade throat for two days. Then feeling tired, unwell. Exhausted. Boiling hot, then shivers then boiling mega mega headache. Body aches. with sneezing, painful eyes. Body aching hurting so much for 2 days. Tummy pains. Loose stools for 2 days. No taste buds for 4 days. Difficulty concentrating. Now stupid productive cough for two days. Shortness of breath for 3days plus. Sadly I'm diabetic tyoe 2.. Asthmatic and have fibromyalgia and arthritis of the hips. My main concern is my breathing. Taking my inhalers ordered an oxygen reader. Got to stay away from my grandson and my partner who's got very little immune system due to a kidney transplant. Feeling very isolated and alone. I Won't go to hospital as last time my mum and dad went in they never came out. I lost my mum when I was 25. I'm now 58. Lost my dad 6 yrs ago. Plus, due to neglect, lost my 2 babies in birth due to negligence . I've one survive son out of 5 pregnancies. I think I'm scared if getting more brain fog as I suffer with ptsd and anxiety I'm an ex Army veteran. Good times. So close to Christmas but feels like I'm far from getting over these chemical agents. Nose is streaming since yesterday. Keeping myself apart from my son grandson and partner to protect them. Heads pounding. Sick of the foul taste in my mouth and headache. Give me strength!!! Good luck everyone let's hope we kick covids ass and no long term effects... sadly my friend was on ITU the beginning of covid he has long covid and was in ITU for 6weeks he's never been right since. Way too many problems. For me my family know my views on ITU and machines for me is a definite No no. Seen it with my mum my dad my partner its not for me. I will get through this.

I'm on day 12 of having covid and still not feeling 100%.I've never felt anything like it!. Started off with just feeling cold and couldn't get warm.,and then day by day just got worse! Muscles and joints ached,runny nose ,mucus on the chest, I spent 4-5 days in bed without moving. The list really is endless. I still haven't got my appetite back nor my sense of taste. I don't envy anyone that gets this virus and whoever does I hope u get well soon cos I don't seem to be yet!

I've tested negative doing a self test but i'm pretty sure i have it. It started with throat ache when i woke up and I've been having it for the last couple of days now. Also i feel like doing stuff takes twice as much energy and i have to sneeze alot/runny nose. Sometimes i get a dry cough as well. The worst part is that i have a holiday booked next week so I'm just hoping really bad that it's gonna be over by then. I took every vaccine except the omikron one
