Who has had Covid19?

Hope everyone is healthy. But if you’ve tested positive, then prayer & best wishes to you.
Who has had this stuff & how was your case of it?
I just had a heavy case of Covid19. 5-6days fever. Took 500mg Tylenol ever 5-6hrs to keep near 99*. Otherwise temps spiked to 101-102*. Diarrhea 3-4 days. Congestion quickly settled into my bronchioles(upper lungs) & loads of coughing. Next day, I saw a Dr. Dr prescribed 2 antibiotics, steroid, & inhaler for me & insisted that I stay ahead of congestion at home or that I could find myself in emergency room, then on a respirator. Had 2-4 nights that I could only sleep sitting upright & slightly leaning forward. For 2 days the only way I could breath moderately was to breath in cold air. That amounted to me holding a big 44 oz cup of ice-water up to my lower lip so I could breath the air directly overtop the ice. Also it caused body aches especially lower back, some mentally confused days & nerverouness anxiety, swollen toes, & extreme fatigue. When congestion let up & I could lay down, I’d sleep 2-3hrs per 4hrs for 4-5 day duration.
Thanks be to God, I survived it. Wife had it too. She was a week ahead of me. Her case was not as severe, which was a big plus.
Now, I’ve been Covid free about two weeks. I’m improving daily, but head still feels sluggish & strength is slowly regaining.

Had it in July. Fever, headache, body aches for about 4 days and fatigue anotger week and half.
We were donating plasma about every month or so. Blood bank monitors your immunity. I lost mine at about 3 1/2 months. Wife still immune

Kids and wife were sick back in febuary I was sick for three weeks coughing fever chills diarrhea week sore muscles and back couldn't breathe slept sitting in chair for three days.Got it from my kids. Took emergenC Motrin and Advil. Used lots of cloroseptic. Stayed away from work pretty easy when we have three guys working in a hanger. My shop at work is 350 ft by 1100 ft so we're not exactly densely packed. Got well before Covid have not been sick since was never tested they only tested if you had a fever of 100 or higher after March when Covid supposedly got here. None of us have been sick since at the time your primary care said bad flue if you don't get better come in. We were all better before crono virus testing started.

Hospital just confirmed my Dad is Covid positive again. This is his 2nd time. He had it about 6 weeks ago.

i haven't got it, i don't need it, other than my back being out i feel good. the stockholders got it (good for them) , i've had my flu shot and pnuomia shot (never could spell that word), i haven't been anywhere since March. just sitting here looking out at the winter wonderland outside! soooooooooo pretty! i hope ya'll stay safe and healthy.

I had it back in September and I had it BAD.  I didn't eat for a week and just had LOTS of water.  I slept almost all of the time, which was good because I think it helped my body fight this crud off.  A headache 24/7 so I took a LOT of acetaminophen.  I still can't smell anything and I have trouble catching my breath.  The slightest thing has me panting.  I feel just great otherwise.  The wife at the time just had a cough...... go figure.  I'm 71 and in/was pretty good health (I think).  I figure every ones either going to get it or will be immune to it.  Prayers go out to everyone, whether you have it or not.

I suspect that my wife and I, along with her mother, may have possibly had before it became popular. We had some type of crud with cough, slight fever and just generally feeling like crap that lasted for about a week just a month or so before covid was even mentioned.
