Covid Update Day 5 (1 Viewer)

[raymondchouku]

I know everyone is thinking... How long is this f****r going to post these updates. Well, every day until its over so probably 5-9 more days. Anyway.. No chills. No muscle pain. Killer sore throat that is exasperated by coughing and swallowing. I tried to eat something yesterday that wasn't liquid [toast] was pretty unbearable. Tea and peppermint helps to dull the pain. But the razorblade in throat and pulsing in my ear feeling is still present. Coughing has become a bit frequent. Still coughing up phlegm. Its worse when I lay on my back which is why I am electing to lay on my side.

I honestly didn't expect to get diagnosed with Covid, just a really bad flu. Its still a shock to me, but I'm getting through it. Still not as bad as the Valley Fever [for which I got Pneumonia as a side effect] that I had three years ago. I am not really hungry, but I have not lost my sense of taste and would prefer something other than water and plain tea.

So In short, razor throat, lack of appetite, coughing, and another symptom that is too embarrassing to talk about.

You can get through this! Glad you are drinking some tea, it helps a lot. Peppermint is also good, keep doing what you are doing and make sure to drink lots of water so you don't get dehydrated. It sucks that you cannot eat hard foods, I know the feeling :( Try to make some soup if you can

I hope you get better soon, that sounds really difficult to deal with

Try to distract yourself, at least from the razorblade throat pains.
I had mine for 12 days.
