    Corona virus

    My wife, Betsy and I both tested positive for Covid 19. We aren't desperately sick, just extremely fatigued and with aches and pains. Our granddaughter Lily and her dad have escaped this so far. Prayers appreciated.

    I've had it twice, each confirmed by the "long" test......(the rapid test is not as accurate).
    First time was in August. Began with a 104.7 fever and just plain tired. Hit me on a Sunday and was totally gone by Tuesday morning. Fever and tired, that was all, none of the other "reported" symptoms.....all I did was sleep and take fever reducers.
    Second time was just before Christmas and felt like the flu. Began as body aches, chills, fever hovering around 99-101 which lasted for about a week. This time I did lose taste/smell for about a week which gradually came back over about two-three weeks....and that is just weird. Never had that happen before and hope to never have it happen again. Lost 15 lbs. because I had zero interest in food....It really sucks.
    I would compare the second bout as a medium to bad case of the flu.
    Don't know if its still true, but they tell me I was the first person in the County to get it twice....and was asked if I was interested in donating "convalescent plasma".
    They tell me that this product can only come from folks that have had a disease and basically cured themselves. You cannot give this product if you get "the shot".
    I've donated twice so far and will continue to do so as long as my antibody counts stay in the ranges they desire.

    Prayers sent. Ive had it. My symptoms mimicked Ural Driver except for loosing taste and smell. I did not loose either. The fatigue was beyond anything I had experienced before, but other than that much like a moderate case of flu.

    Prayers sent Several in my family have had it and made it through all right. If you become severely ill go to the hospital. There are several treatments that can help you. It depends on several factors, it might be wise to research what you qualify for.

    Keep Tylenol and Motrin handy. You can mix them. I would take 500 MG of Tylenol. That would help the fever, if they body aches weren't tolerable I would take 500mg of Motrin.

    Take a multivitamin. If you think you are having issue's breathing, lay on your stomach and take long deep breaths.

    I recovered 3 days ago. I still feel exhausted and have body aches.

    Yes I can be long winded. Yes I follow rabbit trails. Yes I admit when I am wrong. Your mileage may vary.
