seth77 Posted March 11 · Member Share Posted March 11 (edited) I think we had it twice, once for certain and another time, probably the milder strain, last autumn. This last time it was very unusual because each of us had very different symptoms: the kids, who likely got it from the playground, had 3 days of fever and afterwards about 2 weeks of cough, the wife had no fever but almost a full month of coughing and me with a wide array of symptoms all within less than 24hrs: fever, excruciating throat pain, almost rheumatic-like pain in the joints and muscular spasms, drowsiness and a leaden head. The symptoms started hitting early in the morning and I spent the day unable to get up from bed. By nightfall I was better, the next day I was completely fine, not even a cough.

CPK Posted March 11 · Supporter Share Posted March 11 I got it a few years ago. For me, it was worse than a normal cold/flu but I got over it fine. Took a month or so to get my smell and taste back, though. Hope you get well soon! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orange Julius Posted March 11 · Member Share Posted March 11 My whole family had it on Christmas 2021… the kids barely felt it. My wife and I felt like we were dying and had to struggle though the day with kids supercharged on Santa and presents. It was awful… but we all made it through with no problems. Hope you have an easy go of it and are well soon! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seth77 Posted yesterday at 08:19 AM · Member Share Posted yesterday at 08:19 AM I was talking with an acquaintance who lives in the UK and had a similar experience, very brief although intense symptoms and he puts this fast rebound to having been vaccinated with 3 doses. If that is true then the protection offered by the vaccine sure did last, in my case I had my last shot in December 2021. Anyway, @JayAg47 I hope you've gotten better by now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep! just tested negative on Friday, this is how it went for me, slight tickle in throat followed by fever and headache, the fever subsumed by the next day but got throat pain, after 3-4days from testing positive I lost my smell and started coughing, but by Friday all gone and regained my smell. I got 3 doses with the last dose also being in December 2021. Edited 22 hours ago by JayAg47 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
