Hi everyone,
I just tested positive for COVID. I’m terrified. I’m double vaccinated but didn’t have my booster shot yet.
Two weeks ago I started having a sore throat and stuffy nose. It went away after about a week, I stayed home and I did a rapid home test 5 days into my symptoms. It came out negative.
Two weeks later my cold goes away but comes back again. As a chesty cough, thick phlegm, headache, maybe slight fever. My voice sounds hoarse and I just overall feel tired. I tested again at home 3am and I’m positive now. My mom was sick this week too and she’s feeling better but she got her booster shot two weeks ago.
I’ve been two weeks having symptoms, I don’t understand why I didn’t test positive the first week and only now I am?
I am terrified symptoms will get worse. I’m 28 and overweight. So far only slight sore throat again and stuffy nose. Feeling tired and having a headache, didn’t check temp but I feel warm.
Did I already pass the worst of it when I didn’t test positive? I’m so confused at how I even got it. I want to cry because I’m scared of ending up in the hospital or something.
Since my mom was sick she tested and was negative earlier this week. I don’t understand how I got it.
