So looks like I caught Covid-19...anyone else here gone through it?

Best wishes! Can't give any tips as the only family members affected by it (so far) live in the US.
Why didn't your stepfather get himself tested right after the first symptoms?

my mom, dad, and sister had it. Sister lost sense of smell but went through it in a jiffy, nothing serious, though my dad had it rough, he was hospitalized, as well as my mom, but not as severe. They are all good now, they drank liquids, took showers and some medicine to decrease temperature. Dad was on oxygen and felt like a million bucks after 2 days. Post-covid, they are all fine, dad has some light coughs sometimes, mom has some insomnia moments every other night, sister feels like it never happened.
My best piece of advice is to check in with your doctor if your symptoms persist or get worse.

Good luck my dude

Sometimes you don't even know, and know if you got a cough etc, is it covid or the flu?

I hope you feel better soon.

Get well soon 🩹

There's always the scare if you go on vacation and have to use air travel.
Came back recently, had the chills, sick for a day, 5x to the toilet in a day,. and next day it's already somewhat normal.
But nose still running half a week later.

No coughs,. that's the weird bit - guess not covid,. but,. still.

Vitamin-D should help more than vitamin-C

Currently sick as well - at least rapid tests says not covid.

Like you said and as it was mentioned. Vitamin D and Zink may(?) lead to a better progress (<- what's the better word here for progress?).

Hope you all get well soon!

was a week in the hospital in the covid ward i came with stomach ache and soem backache turned out i had a pancreas infection and gal stones and covid as well on top. thankfully not in the IC but a high fever that didnt go down lots of sweating lots of sleeping and no appetite at all [lost 10kg´s in a week but i think this was more due to the galstones and pancreas infection myself]

once i regained some appetite again i ate a lot of soup fruit and a lot of water. besides a lot of sleep during quarintine of course..

the first few days i went back to work after quaraintine my boss noticed that i worked a lot more slower than normal and to me it felt my mind wasnt always there. but if that was a sideeffect i am not sure. one thing i can say for sure being at a covid ward in the hospital seeing waht happens there made quite an mpression to me .

My first neighbour was a 85yr odl man on the breathing apparatus. which at night an 90yr old woman arriving with a nosebleed of half a liters . so yeah my first night wasnt pleasant :). i was lucky my symptons wasnt that bad but hearing people scream for help in the covid ward due to not being able to breath properly is something that you wont forget easily...

others have stated, listen to your doctor and go asap if it gets too worse to bear. Although every individual person tolerates things differently, so to the best of your knowledge of how your body feels.

sorry! i have no advice on how to take care of yourself, all i can share is what'll possibly happen if you need the hospital!

i work in xray, and i hope you dont need a hospital and this goes through nicely. because fuck anti vaccers. which also includes some of my medical coworkers unfortunately.

hospitals in my area are constantly in capacity, average wait times in the e.r seem to be hours for (some\most?) patients
we're constantly converting entire damn floors or sectioning off areas just for covid peoples.
and of course, some die from it, but xray is there every step of the way too, not as much as respiratory of course though!

every time respiratory adjusts a tube that they shoved down your throat, that you are tied down in your bed, because everyone instinctively tries to yank it out of their throat \ lungs asap, xray is there to take a picture to see where that tube placement is. and everytime we'll see the status of your lungs as it hopefully gets better, or deteroriates. some people have a hopefully short visit, but quite a number stays a week-month+

and if you're stuck up on one of our floors for a long duration of time, you get waken up (if youre not drugged up) at 5-6am everyday for a daily morning chest xray to do a daily check up. i had to do this recently since my shift is rarely need those hours, but almost every intubated person just did not respond as i had to move their bodies around to get my xray done. and a majority of them were tied down.

and lastly, as many have already asked, but i didnt see any answers for. were you vaccinated? in a majority if not all the cases i've seen, vaccinated > unvaccinated. and please its just a simple yes or no answer.

Get well soon, bro!

Americans are all vaccinated already, right? So I guess you guys will recover pretty fast. Drink a lot of water, have an aspirin if you need it, keep your room ventilated, don't go anywhere unless it's to the ER and keep your blood oxygen in check. There isn't much else you can do, and it sucks, but you'll be fine. Don't take too many vitamins or too much juice, water and rest are probably enough.

Too many good advices. From me just wishes that your parents and you get better soon.
Fighto!

Damn, I'm wishing that you and your family get over it pretty fast without any complications!

Two times already, for the first it was super easy, but the second time I had to lay in bed for almost 2 days, as my throat was exploding

It's hard to give any advice... Different people have it very different... And now there is multiple strains, which makes it even more different. For me it was just like a mild cold, I could have not notice it at all. And my father almost died form it. And it was before delta strain appeared, and this one seems to be even more dangerous. Take care of yourself and your family, and get well soon!
