Have We Discussed The CDC's New List Of COVID19 Symptoms?

Interesting.

My dd had a virus last spring that lasted 2 weeks. She had such bad chills on and off every day (whenever her meds wore off) that she’d have trouble drinking, eating, talking and walking. I’d never seen anything like that. We took her to ER around day 10. She was tested for flu and was negative. They said they’d been seeing some bad, long lasting viruses.

Me, too. Started with a sore throat on January 31. By the first, the fever, chills, headache, and body aches hit. Slept that Monday through Wednesday. I’ve never been so sick in my life. And, that cough lasted for two and a half months.  

Now, I wonder. It will be nice when the anti-body test for COVID 19 become available. 

I wonder that too.  I wasn’t ever sick, but it went through my classroom and my co teacher had the same thing.  We sent several kids home with shivering chills, really high fevers, and we had a few kids just flat out fall asleep in the middle of Pre-k classroom nonsense, which is pretty darn hard to do!  My co teacher missed over a week of work she was so sick. 

I know we will never know, but I do think it was going around earlier.  I also think that a lot more people had or have it and will never be tested for various reasons.  

On February 26th, I started feeling not great, kind of cold-ish. The next day I went to work (to deliver an all-day PD), and got sent home. I felt AWFUL. Fever, sore throat, headache, and extreme fatigue. I was out of work that Thursday and Friday, and pretty much just slept for three days, and it took several days to have any energy. I had some congestion, but no real cough... 

I will never know if I had a cold, flu, or what, but I will definitely wonder. 

We are curious too - I had pneumonia in January - sickest I've ever been. However - no one else came down with it? Could it be covid - it's supposed to be sooo contagious?

My symptoms started Friday night. One minute I was feeling fine and the next I was shaking uncontrollably. I was so cold. My boyfriend had me wrapped up in three blankets trying to warm me up. He said I was shaking for over an hour before it finally stopped.

I also had a headache that is still present right now. It's worse when I lay down. Rolling over or changing positions is excruciating. It doesn't hurt so much when I'm sitting or standing.

I woke up Saturday morning with a rash. My arms, hands, and torso are covered. I googled and found that rashes are a new symptom that doctors are seeing.

I'm an essential employee (grocery store) so I have been working these past weeks. I was tested for coronavirus this morning. I will get my results in a few days.

Once there is wide-spread immunity testing, won't you know then that you probably had it when you suspect you did? We're convinced dd1 and her girlfriend have both recovered. We thought that perhaps that dgf got it on a work trip to Washington and Oregon, but I just found out that she spent a day working closely with someone who had a professor that was diagnosed with COVID, and that girl (co-worker) was coughing throughout the day. Dd and her gf were pretty sick for a long time, but not seriously ill. Dd couldn't get tested because she didn't meet the requirements.

Some people are asymptomatic or don’t have as severe cases.  You also don’t know that no one you come in contact with didn’t get it.  

Same here back in February! I was so cold I had on fleece jammies and three blankets and was still shaking. And I had a fever too. DH had a dry cough for about 3 weeks in March (no fever). I think we definitely had at least a form of CoVid.
