Covid symptoms

[Daisymae]

If you had Covid can you please list your symptoms, especially if you’ve had Omni.
For the past two days I’ve had a low-grade fever, muscle aches, chills, one night I had night sweats, and nausea. I feel weak right now from the fevers so it’s hard to get up even though the fever has gone down. The whole thing has made me weak. I took a test for Covid and it turned out negative but it was a rapid test. I’m wondering how accurate those tests are.

What you're dealing with sounds similar to the bug that I'm dealing with. I haven't taken any covid test, but IMO it doesn't sound like covid anyhow. My doctor tends to agree, though of course she had to caution that "without a test we cannot say for sure." Because it's so unpredictable and so variable, but based on the "average" it doesn't sound like covid.

Hi Ben,
Thanks for your reply. So you have flu symptoms right now also, what symptoms do you have exactly? Mine started with stiff muscles and achiness and then a fever, now I just feel like I wanna lay down every time I get up.

Monday afternoon I started experiencing chills, but my temp was normal. Thought nothing of it. But later that same afternoon my temp was up around 100.5, chills remained. By late Monday night I was constantly hot and cold, sweating quite a bit while sleeping, and even vomited several times during the night. By then I also felt generally weak and had pain / aches in my legs and lower back.

I'm just now mustering up the energy to get up and around. I got out of bed for about an hour last night and hung out with the fam watching some TV, but came back to bed after that (around 8pm).

Wow, that does sound like what I have. Right now I’m just trying to deal with the weakness I’m feeling, I wonder how long it will take to get my strength back.

Given that the PCR tests are showing too many false positives and there is no way to differentiate between the flu and Covid with this PCR test, per the CDC, it would just be a guessing game for anyone who has had “ Covid.” “Covid” isn’t the only virus floating around on any given day. The plain ole flu still exists as well as many other strains of flu and other viral bugs. The CDC is supposed to be starting a new testing system that will differentiate between the flu and Covid. Was supposed to get started the first of the year, but so far it hasn’t appeared.

It's taken about 48 hours for me to regain almost 100% of my strength, but 24hrs after it all started was when it started to sort of come back. With these types of viruses there is no hard rule, it will ultimately vary from case to case. I hope you feel well soon.
