First off I’d like to say thank you to everybody that responded to my initial post in the early days of my Covid infection to most it may look like just words on a screen but to me it meant everything and I really do appreciate it. I guess the point of this post is to list what my symptoms were in the hope that it might help somebody currently going through it especially if you are scared. First day I developed a bit of a cough nothing too crazy but certainly noticeable, day 2 the cough worsened and I woke up with the worst sore throat I’ve had in a long time, day 3 I just felt a bit crappy the cough was still there, day 4 much of the same too be honest wasn’t better snd it wasn’t worse, day 5 all of the above but now I felt really tired and lethargic I was sleeping through the day more than usual and I had a slightly tight chest, all of the days after this everything got progressively better and I sit here in what is it day 8 I think and last night I slept for 11 hours and the reason I slept 8 hours is down to one thing PANIC I was beside myself and wasn’t sleeping properly through the night and I was merely catching up. the point of this post is mostly to try and help people and tell them the panic was the worst aspect of my infection. If you have this don’t make the same mistakes as me and overthink it or panic too much with it. Easier said than done but you really have to try I can’t begin to explain how much panicking makes it worse not only does it make you worse during your infection but once your infection is gone you’re left with an enormous anxiety that is difficult to get rid of. Panic was worse than Covid for me. Good luck everybody take care
