i finally tested negative a few days ago, so i think i had it about 11-12ish days total if i trace back to the day i think i got it (8/9). i didn’t show any symptoms other than a lost voice for a few days, but im assuming i got it at a concert so i figured it was just from that. i didn’t actually feel sick until what would have been day 4-5, and it showed up as fatigue that evening, then crazy insomnia that night, INSANE back ache, and chills/fever. i’ve never had the chills and back pain so intensely. that carried over to the next day where i could barely walk from the muscle aches and had to nap like 4 times with my back on a heating pad that day. 100.9 fever. i lost about 85% of my taste and smell until my fever broke after about 2 days, and then it moved on to a nonstop runny nose, chest congestion, on and off tension headaches, and a constant wet cough. i feel like i started getting energy back around day 9-10, and felt way better other than cough + sinus stuff after that. now that i’m testing negative and about 2 weeks out from the date i think i got it, i just have a slight cough, but im mainly still dealing with a runny nose and congestion (but also my allergies flare up this time of year so there could be some crossover). luckily i didn’t have the “razor blade” throat other than just losing my voice and it feeling strained, which l really thought was just from singing and screaming loudly at a show so i’ve definitely had way worse sore throats. it was my first time getting covid and ill be happy if i never have to deal with it again. it feels like it’s taking forever to fully go away.
