After resting for a bit it’s back up to 97-98. Took the final dose of azithromycin this morning. There are still 3 days of prednisone remaining.

Doc says that Friday (day 10) if I haven’t had a fever for 24 hours and other symptoms improving I can come out of quarantine. I think my symptoms are improving, but I still don’t feel 100%. Hard to tell if that is physiological, or it is all in my mind - anxiety, hypochondria. Sure would be nice if there were a test to tell you that you’re out of the woods.

cant Wait for this to be over.
Hey Zap, glad you're on the mend. My brother and nephew had it and experienced pretty similar symptoms to what you're reporting. Took my bro about a month to feel 100% and my nephew recovered a bit quicker.
