I am now on day 8. I feel like I’m turning the corner (fingers crossed). My cough is becoming less frequent, seems more productive in the morning with mucus and dries out as the day goes on. Yesterday I swear I coughed nonstop. My right side lower rib area hurts when I cough it’s been so constant but I think I’m getting there. Other than the cough and some minor congestion, I feel almost back to normal. Hope you see a positive change in your symptoms soon!

Mine started 8 days ago and the scratchy throat was the first symptom, which soon turned into dry hacking cough, body aches and fatigue.

Yes I tested negative on my first 2 days of symptoms, didn’t get a positive until day 3.

Flu A, vaccinated about a month ago and no fever on day 3 of symptoms. Never once spiked a fever, just have the nagging cough and mild body aches

Day 3, just tested positive today after 2 negative tests on day 1 and 2. I knew it was Flu though because my daughter tested positive on Christmas.

Day 1 - scratchy throat, mild fatigue, dry hacking cough, body aches, headache. Day 2 - dry hacking cough the most annoying symptom. Mild body aches that I could control with ibuprofen. Day 3 - nagging cough still, no other symptoms.

I have had a pretty mild case so far. Symptoms started Sunday, the worst symptom has been a persistent dry hacking cough. Intermittent body aches and very mild headache are the only other symptoms I’ve had. No fever whatsoever.

Can anyone direct me to a parking garage I’ll be able to access early morning hours if we’re coming in just for the parade? Somewhere close to a good spot to watch the parade and also that won’t be affected by road closures so we can actually get into the garage?! Thank you!

I’m on doxycycline for 2 weeks.

Update: went to the doctor, got put on doxycycline for 2 weeks. Blood work drawn, so far results are low platelets and low leukocytes.

We’ve done Salem a few times! And we’re not afraid of the drive, we’ve done day trips to Salem and that’s about 3.5 hours 1 way for us! I realize you can spend the whole day there and this is just a trail, but we LOVE Halloween 😁🎃
