Hello, and thanks for taking the time to read this thread. So earlier today I took one of those take home tests and it came back positive that I have Covid. Before that however I had gone to one of those drive thru test areas but they said it would take up to 16 hours to get the results back, so I ended up going and buying one. Probably should have done that to begin with.
I had a small headache and some sinus issues,along with a sore throat. In all honesty I thought it had been my IBS flaring up. This has happened before; acid reflux, burning in throat, inside of ear getting itchy due to irritation...so yes I assumed it was all that all over again. Guess I was wrong.
First thing I did was have my wife take a test too. It came back negative which was a HUGE relief for me. I'm keeping my distance for now, and waiting on the results from the PCR test. I'm assuming they'll come back positive too.
Anyways yeah...I am a anxious wreck right now. I keep assuming the worst will come to pass. I don't even have a fever, and the sore throat is more just bothersome than painful, but I keep thinking of the worst possible scenario. I got 2 jabs, but never did get around to the booster. Am I overworrying here?
