In reply to the discussion: Have you had Covid? [View all]hellacia
(15 posts)35. Pretty sure I did in March 2020
I hosted a party and 3 days later got sick as a dog. Pounding headache, spiking blood pressure, fever, non-stop cough and lost appetite. This went on for about 2 weeks tho I did get to my doc and he probably kept me out of the hospital with steroid treatment. It was at the time I couldn't get tested unless I had been to China or been around someone who had just gotten back from China (the party had 100 people, maybe I did) but the symptoms were classic Covid. My husband got it too but not as bad.
I am now vaxxed and boosted as of November. About a month ago I got a sore throat and sniffles. I did a PCR and it came back positive but the symptoms were about 1000% less bad. Get vaccinated.
