Some highlights for me: no fever & no shortness of breath (or very occasional shortness of breath).
Constant symptoms were fatigue, feeling of a head rush that would last a couple hours, nausea, loss of appetite. Wet cough became progressively dry
First three days was bad body aches, felt like I slept on a concrete floor or something. Took motrin and it helped some
Day 4 I lost taste and smell COMPLETELY. It's a very weird situation. It lasted 3 days before it started to come back. But things didn't taste right at first. Honey bunches of oats cereal tasted minty and coffee which I love tasted terrible. That lasted another three days.
All in all, I'd call my symptoms mild, but still was not fun. I did the same vitamin regiment as you except I also took 10 mg of melatonin at night. As I understand it the melatonin helps your immune response.
Get well man
Hey thanks Bobby. I forgot to mention the melatonin because I take that pretty frequently anyway, but yes I've been taking that as well. Also added a baby aspirin to try and prevent blood clots.
My wife brought a chair into the bedroom so I could sit up, rather than in bed all day. I've heard being upright helps to prevent fluids from pooling in the lungs.
