I tested positive 4 days ago, the first two days it felt like a terrible flu. I experienced ongoing chills, night sweats, headache, loss of appetite, fatigue, nausea, sharp body pain, etc. just to name a few. Today I feel a lot better, meaning most of the symptoms are gone besides coughing, lung pain, stomach pain and back pain.

This is such a nasty virus. I pray for everyone's wellbeing.

***UPDATE:
Thanks everyone for wishing me well. For all those wondering, I am not vaccinated but everyone in my house is. I experienced severe symptoms compared to everyone else at home. I was sick and stayed in bed for about 3 days. After getting over most of the symptoms I had a lingering cough which caused chest and lung pain. It was extremely painful. I decided to use a asthma inhaler (ventolin) and that worked like a charm! It instantly took away the pain within about 15mins. I used the pump about 4-5 sprays and that helped a lot.

Praying for everyone's recovery.
