No, like really.
I’ve seen posts on X, TikTok, etc. of people experiencing a very similar, if not identical, set of symptoms as mine.
I first felt ill on 10/12 with a sore throat lasting a few days. By day 4-5, it progressed to congestion and a cough. Yesterday (Day 15!), I took a turn for the worse when I came down with a fever and some GI issues (diarrhea and a stomach that felt like a washing machine was inside me). Now we’re on Day 16 and it’s much of the same as yesterday.
It’s definitely driving me nuts. I’ve never been sick for this long when things get worse before they get better. I went to the doctor last week after taking 3 Covid/Flu rapids of my own and they confirmed it isn’t that or RSV. Basically a “go home and rest” diagnosis.
Has anyone had this same thing going around and actually figured out what it is? At this point the curiosity is killing me just as bad as the illness is, because I just want to know what’s happening to my body. I don’t have anything serious enough to go to the doctor, but it’s dragging on and costing me my patience and sanity.
People who have been reporting similar things said their illness lasted about 3 weeks and the cough lingered for a bit past that as well. That feels like what I’m buckled in for, too.
Any and all insight is appreciated, cause I’m at my wits end 🙁
