Been feeling ill for a couple of days and developed a whanger of a headache. Wifey suggested I use one of the home tests I got from Amazon a little while back. And it says I have Covid.

So out comes the Durvet horsey paste. Wifey cut up some apples (as I figured pretending to be a horse would help things), and I squeezed out a 250-pound portion on to one apple boat. It wasn’t as bad as I thought it would be.

My sinuses seem mostly unaffected. I’m coughing just a little, but am very able to clear my lungs of the small amount of whatever is there. My energy is way down (general fatigue) and I still have this massive headache. For that I’ve taken Tylenol, aspirin, and ibuprofen, but none of it has helped much.

Oh - and I had massive diarrhea and nausea yesterday and the day before. Is that a covid symptom? Took Immodium two days in a row and it seems to have helped. Stomach is still a little fragile feeling though so Wifey has limited me to rice with butter on it. (It’s like a fucking Nork prison here.)

Neither I, nor any of my immediately family, have gotten the shot - and we still will not.

Anyone else gone through this shit?

I dunno, man. I know it's anecdotal, so by saying the following, I'm basically saying "agree to disagree", but: every time I've ever been sick, I down a bottle of cough-syrup, put on like three layers of socks, two pairs of PJ bottoms, two shirts, a sweater and a hoodie on top of it. Grab the space-heater, point it at myself, and get under all the covers. Usually shove a handful of anti-histamines in to myself, as well, just to force me to sleep in such a state. Layers come off/on, through the day-and-night, but I stay as hot as is tolerable. I've never been sick for more than like, 3 days.
