Over this past Memorial day weekend, I was struck with Covid bug. My boyfriend caught it first, more than likely from a work function he had last week. He said it felt like allergies, but then it quickly turned worse. He never naps and he NAPPED on Saturday. I started feeling it Saturday night and by Sunday morning was definitely sick. I honestly thought it was a head cold/sinus issue because my face...my FACE HURT SO BAD. And my ears were hurting like a sinus infection. The pressure was stupidly horrible. I took meds, they helped. Sunday was a rinse and repeat. Monday, again rinse and repeat but I was not getting better. My boyfriend was definitely on the mend though so one would have thought I would be there soon too. Nope, more fever and body aches and more sinus pressure.
Tuesday morning, I woke up, still in pain. I decided to go to CVS Minute Clinic and I knew they would want a Covid test and since I have the home rapid ones, I thought it would be better to know before I went anywhere if I did/didn't have Covid. And I was shocked and surprised when it came back positive.
I contacted my boss and let him know and told him I was scheduling a PCR test (this is required by my work) and I got that done that afternoon. I am still waiting on those results.
My bf then tested and low and behold he was also positive on the rapid test. So he's working from home, while I am just sick at home.
I am finally starting to feel better today, no more fever and my face no longer hurts (well, me at least ahahahaha)
Today though, I also noticed my taste buds was like 98% gone. I have barely tasted anything and it's soooo weird. Like I may as well just eat whatever since I won't get to taste it anyways. Sad but maybe this will also help with the weight loss :) Trying to find that silver lining anywhere I can !!
And hopefully I will stop getting light headed every time I stand up.
I am just thankful I got it after having the vaccination and booster done. I don't even want to imagine how much worse it could be...
