I felt a sense of relief by day 14, I really think you can too. I did still have lingering symptoms through week 3 they are slowly going away.

Evening everyone, thank you all for your messages to me. I really appreciate every single one of them. I’ve been quite worried today and again not sure if covid or anxiety. I keep taking deep breaths in and it’s not problem to do it but then when I swallow it feels a bit weird. I just think ultimately it comes down to me not wanting the cough and then I tell myself it will come back eventually and every day I wonder is today the day it’ll come back. Because I’m on day 7 and I hear day 6-10 are the worst, this scares me and again not sure if because I know I’m day 7 and inbetween that time frame, it’s bound to get worse. Anyway, hopefully I will be here to tell the tale to everybody xx

Not so for me, my husband or my son, you could very well not get worse.

Day 25 for me, fatigue returned. I felt really good yesterday and was busy all day I feel like I'm paying for it today.

Thank you for replies
Today is day 14. I didn't feel as anxious as I have been all week .. I only checked my O2 couple times instead of every 30 min .

I did wake up with chest soreness and back soreness like leeanderson2012
Mentioned that feeling of running out in the cold ...
tommorrow is day 15 I think after day 16 I'll be able to be more calm ..:

You know what's crazy I would imagine but things were gonna get bad I would've been really sick by now .
I' had X-rays and lab work done 2 days ago and everything was fine

The only symptoms I have is no taste or smell , that soreness in my chest .
Fatigue is not that bad today .

But of course I keep fearing the worst .

I appreciate everyone in this form

I hear you AEHS. Everyone on this thread is getting me through this tough time. Thank you so much. Here if anyone needs to talk x

I’m struggling a bit today guys. Im really helping to keep my parents in good spirits whilst checking their temp and oxygen levels every 4 hours. I’ve become addicted to the oxymeter tho and constantly looking at it and if it goes below 95 then I need hospital care. Once it read 94 then I calmed down and it read 96. Anything above 95 is normal. I just want to be out of the danger zone for this illness. Never taking life for granted again x

This is causing you more anxiety not less. Are your parents ill? Did the dr tell you to repeatedly test yourself ?

[katyfitz]

No I just thought we were to keep testing. Do you think once a day is enough?

Self testing is a slippery slope .. unless your Dr has told you to test, I would do it rarely if ever. Katy we are trying to get through this together, one day at a time, supporting each other, we all have to do our part. ox
