And now I have the stamina of a 90yo asthmatic.
Washing the dishes left me out of breath and in need of a lie down. And i don't trust myself to carry anything breakable.

As a life experience, I'm rating it a 0.2/10 :)

I would have a t-shirt printed, but it might seem a bit douchebaggy to people who know someone who didn't survive it.
 
Congrats!

I don't want to overshadow your hard-fought victory, but I am a survivor of Y2K, myself.

I jest.

On a serious note, I hope that concludes the episode for your entire household. Best wishes for continuing recovery and strength.

And I think that might be it for my household. I have a strong suspicion that he was one those fortunate but dangerous few who have almost no symptoms, and I think I caught it from him. He felt mildly off colour a couple of weeks ago, which is very unusual for him, but was back to normal the next day. Smug git almost never gets ill or injured, and I can count on one hand the bruises he's had since we have been together, so it'd be just typical.
 
I'm glad you're feeling better. Be careful though - I've read a lot of accounts where this thing has a round 2 and round 3.

Take care of yourself.

I've been taking things very easy, he's been making sure i take my vitamins and eat my vegetables, and I'm quietly optimistic.
 
Glad you pulled through, Dolf. I admit I was worried about you. Hopefully you'll get your stamina back in a short while. :rose:

That's great news !

 
I thought you'd gone a bit quiet here - I'm super pleased for you. Keep us posted on your progress - we'd all like to know about life post-covid. :rose:

Didn't know you were infected but glad to hear you're all right and still with us. Lit couldn't afford to lose the best part of the UK.:rose:
 
Glad to hear you beat it. I hope your breathing and stamina improve quickly.
 
An antibody test is now available to determine who has experienced coronavirus infection. Unlike the infection test, this one involves a small blood sample and can be processed in less than an hour.

If this test is broadly administered, it will help determine the profile of people who are the most susceptible to the worst symptoms of the disease, by correlating prior medical condition markers with degree of disease severity.

Regarding the issues of immunity and reinfection, here is a recent article:

Corona [ kuh-roh-nuh ]
noun, plural co·ro·nas, co·ro·nae
  • a white or colored circle or set of concentric circles of light seen around a luminous body, especially around the sun or moon.
  • Meteorology. such a circle or set of circles having a small radius and ranging in color from blue inside to red outside, attributable to the diffraction caused by thin clouds, mist, or sometimes dust (distinguished from halo).
  • Also called aureola, aureole. Astronomy. a faintly luminous envelope outside of the sun's chromosphere, the inner part consisting of highly ionized elements.
  • a long, straight, untapered cigar, rounded at the closed end.
  • Botany. a crownlike appendage, especially one on the inner side of a corolla, as in the narcissus.

I have been thinking about you and someone else who mentioned they had it in a thread. You take care now!:rose:

Wishing you well! You take care, I hope you have someone around to keep an eye on you.
 
i need to be skeptical. prepare yourself for it to come back.

i suspect i may have had it as far back as december but at the same time some of the things i went through dont add up to the usual symptoms. I did go through extreme fatigue. i was having issues just making it to the supermarket down the street from me and back. one quick trip i made resulted in dry heaving and loss of breath for about half an hour. i was having some pretty unique congestion issues. late last year was a little on the harsh side. i figured it was just getting older combined with stress. now i'm not so sure.

i had a minor health issue blow up on me about two weeks ago (its since passed) and I also had congestion issues again which got quite painful for a few days. i currently feel allright. i havent been tested to know for sure but i am worried i am carrying it and it might be coming back. i havent lost my sense of smell or appetite, no fever, no non stop dry cough so who the fuck knows. it might be how my immune system has been handling it (hearty peasant stock). it might just be the stress of last fall catching up to me.

point to all this is your better off preparing yourself if it comes back. if i come down with actual covid 19 the chances of me getting any kind of medical help are nil and theres no real good home remedy except for the ones i mentions in the blurt thread which are all "grandmas cure for the flu" (hot liquids and soup, steamy showers, steam cleaning everything and replacing anything that can get you sick again like pillows and toothbrushes and sponges). *also be sure you have some anti histamines and expellorants on hand. all kidding aside there are some massage techniques that can help you breathe easier if thats an issue. google them up. a good old fashioned menthol rub helps too.

better safe than sorry.
