Fever, chills, pains, not knowing which position to find in the bed to get any comfort. What was new was the mind numbing headache. I usually get migraines 2 or 3 times a year but nothing like this. No painkiller could help until it subsided after abt 3 days. When i visited the doctor and did a flu test, one nurse said negative and another nurse said positive but it was a vary faint line on the indicator. So i wasnt sure it was the flu. I was prescribed tamiflu which nearly destroyed my stomach. I have never taken a flu shot because I never believed in it. But after this experience, I swear as of next year im getting flu shots. I have a gut feeling it may have been corona. I know for a fact if i had other health issues i would have had major difficulty recovering. So I was lucky. Many ppl keep saying that we will be ok because most ppl get very mild symptoms. That may be.... but in some ppl, and not only elderly ppl, it can be devastating... even if you were previously healthy. These things always happen to someone over there who we dont know, but in time this thing is inching closer to home. Bee, I wish you and everyone else, guidance, protection, safety, and good health!! U got this Bee!!

Oh Lordy - sorry to hear you’re going through the struggle too lol. My mom is a doctor and swears against taking the flu shot (for her own reasons) so I never took it due to that. Well I’m deffinitely regretting that now😂😂 Not that it’s makes a difference in my scenario but I more so empathize with the fact maybe we all should find protection in a flu shot, so we can at least prevent ourselves from one global sickness out here. So in saying that... not only do I feel you, but I feel for you. but I do wish us a full recovery and health!!! I pray we will be fine 🙏🏽

my bf told me the test is extremely expensive thats why govt and or clinical centers are very hesitant to.do this coronavirus testing.
that also made the figures far lower than reality
hope you recover soon, be strong, let your immune system fight!!!!
pls update us when you feel better

I’m in Maryland, USA. 24 year old healthy female. I juice, take vitamins, and practice a vegan diet. Ironically I got sick from the kids I nanny 4 weeks ago, and the sickness hasn’t gone away. Which is quite unusual, due to my typical prompt recovery from past illnesses within a couple days to a week. It started with the regular flu and a cold, fever, chills, extreme lethargy. Then when weeks had passed with no resolve and my symptoms weren’t diminishing (fever was gone but cough and cold still very present) I went to the doctor, and she said I had bronchitis. That the flu had most likely left bacteria that turned into bronchitis. She prescribed me an antibiotic. A few days later, and utterly randomly, I started projectile vomiting all day long... with same symptoms as prior ones ***disclaimer, sorry nasty just trying to share my experience*** 💀 and I mean like was sick 14 different times throughout the day, running back and forth to bathroom constantly. Was very aggressive. I assumed it was because I was on this new antibiotic, but not convinced, as I had taken this antibiotic previously with no complaints. Within 2 days, all those symptoms had subsided, and I was just left with extreme fatigue, body aches, chest pain and a persistent cough (which is what my current symptoms still are)
I re-visted my doctor and on second examination, she proceeds to tell me, “oh I might have misdiagnosed you, this is seeming more like pneumonia”. I was baffled, but it made more logical sense as I’ve had this cough for 4 weeks now, accompanied by very discomforting chest pain and a headache. She recommended I get tested for the corona virus and I went to a hospital near me and did. To my surprise, THE TEST CAME BACK POSITIVE.
What a discouraging journey this has been! BUT, my silver lining is HOPE. I am hopeful I will make a full recovery, and am just very disappointed that the doctor I visited before misdiagnosed me, prescribed me antibiotics, which ended up making my condition worse cause it was viral and not bacterial. I know all of this could’ve been avoided had she just offered to run more tests and rather not given opinionated ones. But regardless, I did fall victim to this virus and am praying protection over all of you that you not encounter this same experience. You guys keep me feeling supported regardless ❤️ So appreciation to you for that.
Please use my story, as an example to take precautions for your health. Be mindful in your surroundings, and social distance yourself as much as possible.
Today my employer called to tell me someone at her office had the virus, and she believes she might have caught it and brought it home to her children, who in turn gave it to me. They are all sick as well, and going to get tested tomorrow.
I wish you all nothing but light, love, and well being

I agree with your Mom. Avoid the flu shot. The flu shot does not protect you against getting the flu. It only lessens the symptoms, but you will still get the flu. Been there, done that.

Oh surprising! And you still got sick! I had no idea about this till you mentioned. Definitely something to reconsider then, thank you. This whole case has just been very frightening to me. I’ve never been sick this long and don’t know why I’m not getting better. Many people that caught the virus would have recovered by now and I’m nearing 5 weeks ill. It’s very frightening to me and predominantly that they couldn’t offer me any real help - because there are no current advances with aid in this virus, so it was even more disheartening to leave feeling like “will I get better ? Or no?” “What will occur if I don’t ?” Dark thoughts, but attempting to keep a calm mind admist it all. Right now this forums support is the only thing getting me through truthfully 😓
