ravaging the world right now, but she has done a very remarkable thing, to create and awareness bto the world, and also to her age mates, she decided to share her experience, the step by step stages and precautions that she has been taking too, the symptoms and her recovery process:
I am 22 years old and I tested positive for COVID-19, I have been debating on posting, but I want to share my experience especially with those around my age to help bring awareness, and to relieve any stress and anxiety some may have due to the pandemic.
Day 1: It started with a mild DRY cough and a slightly sore throat. I was very tired that night.
Day 2: I felt a lot of pressure in my head to the point I would have to cough softly to avoid the discomfort. That night, I experienced the chills and had a fever, one main symptom that stood out to me, my eyes physically hurt, they were tender and sore.
Day 3: Energy levels VERY low, I only slept, and still ran fevers, at this point, my symptoms were: dry cough, migraine, fever, chills, some nausea. I decided to go to the doctors where I tested negative for the flu and strep.
The doctor told me I probably just had an infection and prescribed me antibiotics and 800mg of ibuprofen, I made sure to stay extremely hydrated and stocked up on vitamins and probiotics, that night, I still ran a fever.
Day 4: Finally no more fever, but a new symptom showed up: shortness of breath. It was uncomfortable, it felt like I had bricks on my chest. I tried the self diagnose test I read online (hold your breath and count to 10) which I successfully did with no complications.
At this point I wanted to test for corona like I should have been in the first place, but It was very difficult to get tested for it!!! I continued to self-quarantine and hydrate hydrate HYDRATE!
Day 5: Symptoms: sore throat, cough, shortness of breath, I went to the same doctor and I was very adamant about getting tested. Doctor said my vitals were “unremarkable” but I wasn’t going to take no for an answer! I also requested chest X-rays, everything came out normal.
