The amor tnninng is rest keep warm. Plenty to drink and have things like soup, fruit, jelly that are easy to digest. I likened it to trying to ride out a storm. My pain levels went right up the first 4 days but slowly subsided. I did end up having antibiotics and steroids as turned into a nasty chest infection but I am susceptible to that if I have a virus as I have asthma. Hope, the worse is over soon. Gentle hugs.x

Sheer pain & agony it is for sure.And thankyou for your kind words & advice.

Hate it when my food & drink taste positively foul like a bitter taste of salt & sourness etc.

And I thought fibromyalgia was bad enough without COVID.

Kindest Regards

Yes I thought my husband was trying to poisen me. Soup tasted as though the salt cellar had been poured in, my favourite tasted sour and the I seemed to lose all sense of taste. Hope you are feeling better soon.x

It is horrible. My husband who has leukemia recovered fast as he was eligible for antivirals but I was really ill and didn't sleep well at all. I couldn't eat at all but drank plenty of fluids. Tested positive for 10 days in all. Just keep warm and keep breathing. Hope you have some support.

I looked upon it as a curiosity and as a bit of flu not the end of the World as it was sold to us later. I got it early, before it was available to the masses. I think if I have gotten it after we knew everyone was going to die from it, I might have found it more challenging?

For me, it was the gift that just kept giving. As each phase passed I though, I might be getting better and then there was the next bit. I felt like a mad scientist, trying to figure each stage, but unlike said scientist I was too sick to take notes.

Prepare to be floored by it with water, tissues and phone (charged) by your bed etc. The fever stage is Pants! However, with the fever, WHEN I slept I had some wild dreams. Again, too sick to take notes!!

The thing to remember is, it will pass. And.. after it's finally over you feel renewed. Who cares about a little Fibro, the horrid virus has been defeated!

Don't worry, you will be fine. You've been poorly before and like before you know you just have to suck it up best you can. Best of luck!
