Honestly, I thought I was probably immune at this point.I mean sure, I got the first vaccine back and the first booster in 2021 but after that nothing. Managed to avoid getting after my wife and son went through it. I remember finishing his half eaten apple the day before he tested positive!
Well finally happened, holy shit no joke. First day I was basically in the fetal position with a 40° fever in full sweatsuit and blanket just writhing. Didn’t sleep much for like 30 hours. Things felt a lot better day 2 until the blocked nose and everything starting tasting super bland. Most surprising almost no cough for me.
It’s now day 3 and I feel almost fully recovered, I assume 1 or 2 more days and I’ll be fine. Sort of relieved to get it over with but really don’t want to go through that again. Just in case there are others out there like me 3.5 years COVID free, we are probably more lucky than immune.
Anyway, don’t know why I posted this other than the fact I’m starved for attention after isolating for 3 days in my room.
Damn, sounds like you got a serious case. I finally got it on December 23rd 2022. Excellent timing. I was sleeping 19-20h the first day and had a very, very mild fever (like .5 degrees outside of the normal spectrum), had minor headaches the next morning, and that afternoon I was already feeling like 95%. Company policy was to stay at home until you test negative, so I had 5 days of paid holidays.
When my wife got it the week after, she said she felt like she was dying. Full body aches, high fever, skull-splitting headaches, the full program. She literally stayed in bed for 5 days, and I had to carry her to the toilet.
