First hand Covid symptoms

[NDGuy]

The doctor at the ER was adamant that the fever was nothing to worry about.

Sheesh, not so sure about that.

Sheesh, not so sure about that.

Yah me either. But by that point his fever had dropped to around 102 or 103 and i wasnt in the mood, so i just brushed it off.

 

[Nick87]

105 is scary. Glad everyone seems to be on the mend.

I don’t think I have ever got my full sense of smell back yet

Iirc. We didn't lose taste or smell until all other symptoms were gone last time. And yah 105 had me pretty scared.

We're on the downhill slide now I think. The doctor at the ER was adamant that the fever was nothing to worry about. I lose a little more faith in experts every time I see one.

That’s why in the medical industry they call it a “practice”. Hope you all have a quick recovery. Our family got it again, youngest is 1 and it was spooky high fever too, recovers now. Been a bad sick season

Wife lost taste/smell for ~1 week the most recent time we had it, but not the prior times. My taste and smell were unaffected every time.

Make sure it was a Dr.
That fever is pretty high but easier to get under control. It’s a bad flu year. Or at least that’s what the dead people tell me.

It was.

No-one in my or extended family did.

Most had cold and/or flu symptoms

I've had it 3 times and personally symptoms very mild except for the 2nd time last year I had an absolute mindnumbing migraine. I couldn't open my eyes it was so bad.

It was weird the first time I had it in 2020 I lost taste and smell. Second time in 2022 I lost smell but not taste. 3rd time in early 2024 I didn’t lose either.

Youngest daughter got it about 4 years ago and is just now getting SOME sense of smell back.

At the time I was positive I didn’t feel like I had lost taste or smell but as the symptoms subsided I felt like the intensity of flavors and smells increased. Now there are times when I cannot smell things or can faintly smell it but my wife is nearly losing it from how awful the smell is.

Took me about 6 months the first time.

Wish I’d have had Covid when I tried to eat the bobcat I trapped this winter.

The only time I ever tested posted for it I had a mild fever one night and then severe stomach issues. No respiratory symptoms at all. Strange disease.

My family has more or less had a running illness of some sort since October. Can’t wait until we can get outside and spread out.

Myself nor no one in my family lost sense of smell.

I think we’ve all had something too. As soon as one gets rid of it, the next one picks it up. it’s been a vicious circle.

I got it for the first time last summer.
Relatives were not concerned about acknowledging they were sick.
Pissed me off. Missed a day of work, in bed, but ignored it beyond. Never lost taste or smell.

That was us last year.

I caught covid and it felt pretty bad. I lost the sense of taste for sure, maybe smell? I thought that I recovered and I went on an Idaho elk hunt about 6 weeks later.

I noticed that my lungs felt like they were on fire walking up the trail. The pack was kind of heavy but nothing I haven't carried before and I thought that the elevation was moderate but nothing spectacular. It kept happening throughout the hunt so afterwards I went to the doctor. They x-rayed my chest and told me that I had two partially collapsed lungs. Asked him how that happened and he said "I don't know, we are still trying to figure out long covid". Asked them what I should do and they said wait and see what happens.

Seems better now, but I wasn't prepared for that nonsense.
