Long COVID Recovery Story

August covid story.

I tested this past Friday or Saturday 26th/27th and was negative, but this morning (29th) I tested positive.

I’ve been feeling sick since the 10th with one day of fever on the 11th, I tested negative on the 11th, 5th, and a few more times after but have been experiencing congestion and a few hours of lack of taste. After the sick day on the 11th I’ve been in recovery mode with coughing and nose blowing until this past Thursday (25th) where my symptoms worsened, sore throat, exhaustion, etc. Late last night I was drinking tea and my taste seemed off, so I tested again and got a positive. I did eat an apricot and dill pickle at the same time today, I can still taste a little, but not much. Have I had a little covid for weeks and am just now positive or did I have something else and just started with covid on Thursday? Although the symptoms seem so similar. I feel pretty fine right now, but will be keeping to myself for a while.

Wednesday the 31st update: Still feeling pretty good minus congestion, taste and smell not back to full force, but some scents come through.

Friday, September 1st: Felt all the way better and resumed some normal activities.

Saturday, September 2nd: came back down feeling poorly in the evening.

Sunday, September 3rd: In bed with a low grade fever again. Other days I felt like I had a mild fever, but it didn’t show up on the thermometer.
