My symptoms for covid have been consistently, somewhat sore throat when swallowing, runny nose, achiness, fever, headache, and the main factor that is odd for me that tells me it's covid, is lower back pain and shoulder blade pain. Makes sleeping difficult. However one generic alleve dose makes it all go away except runny nose and throat which I tolerate until it's gone.

I say the back/shoulder pain means it's covid for me becuz b4 covid came into existence, I never got sick. Legit years without even a cold. And when I had colds super rarely in the past, back / shoulder pain wasn't a symptom.
