Back pain at first. Joint pain came the next day. Rib pain and eye pain joined on day 3. Got tested. Day 5 eye pain eased up a bit. So did the joint, rib and back pain. Got results. It was positive. Day 6 almost no more pain. Never had any fever or cough. Night 6 feeling completely fine and then came the shortness of breath. Out of breath every few minutes as if I'd been running. Feeling completely fine otherwise (maybe a tinge of back discomfort). Today will be day 7.

I’m on day 11 and I am extremely fatigued today. The worst fatigue so far. My body feels like it’s being weighed down with lead. I sat at the table to prepare chicken in the pan for supper because it’s too much to stand. I feel dizzy when I stand. I lost my sense of smell and taste today. My chest still feels tight and hurts. Breathing difficulty comes and goes. Haven’t done anything yet for Pesach , but I’m counting my blessings that I am not in the hospital. I am sitting and resting. I have been told by countless people to REST and DRINK. So that’s what I’m doing. Hang in there!!!! The complete refuah is around the corner!

Oy that’s awful!!
Kudos to you for cooking, I’m pretty much in bed all week. Too dizzy to walk to the kitchen!!

I believe you! Make sure you are getting enough fluids and take acetaminophen. The acetaminophen really helped with the aching head and other body parts.

my husband is showing some symptoms, his head feels warm to the touch but he's cold, he's nauseous and weak/tired. I feel paralyzed in terror. too many stories going around.
my question: how fast does it go from when you start feeling symptoms till it gets worse till it's dangerous?? Crying

as of now I plan to be up as long as possible to monitor him. Sad

yes, I suffer from anxiety so I can't help panicking.

I feel for you because I’m the same.
I’m feeling very drained and can’t move but trying to monitor my husband who is sick in bed and I am terrified it will get worse very quickly.
If he would stay this way I would feel more at ease but who knows.

Everyone should have a fast refuah and stay healthy.

Is the back pain upper back pain? Like near a shoulder? That could be a sign of pneumonia. Even without coughing.

Anyone’s dr prescribed the zpack/hydroxychloroquine to relieve symptoms?
If yes did it help?

Mine did as a precaution because I’m immunodeficient. We’re not 100% sure it’s corona because I never had fever and I also have asthma. I’m not in the NY/NJ area... I started yesterday and I think it’s helping a little but I have severe diarrhea and stomach pain. Don’t know if that’s from the virus or the meds...

Yup. 5 or 6 Sad

Try to drink drink and drink some more!!
I started doing that before even though I dread going to bathroom cuz of dizziness but hopefully it will help. It may be a symptom of dehydration as well.

There's a lot of talk about zinc. I really think you should try it. I found I needed 50 mg 4 times a day. It does affect the stomach, but hey, it's not worse than corona symptoms.

I’m day 15 and still not 100% better. It’s taking its time! My first symptoms were extreme dryness/parched throat, followed by aches and then sore throat. Then the rest came all together
