1-Here is my Possible Covid story: October 11, 2019 I received flu vaccine it felt like the vaccine ran through my arm was weirdest feeling I ever had from a flu shot. One week later I had fever, chills, incredible head aches, horrible sore throat for a week or two, a
2-metallic taste in my mouth, body aches, joint pain and a dry NP cough that would not stop. A week after these symptoms developed I crashed my car from coughing so hard. I also had a chest X-ray when I crashed as airbag went off. Diagnosed with questionable bronchitis and strep
3-but strep culture was negative. I was put on Zpack for 5 days it did not improve my cough and I took otc mucinex. I had people I was doing prescreens for, with similar symptoms one a pulmonologist and I asked him wth I had. His answer was there is a weird virus going around
4-we can’t isolate. I asked him, second week 11/19 mind you the only symptom by than that improved was fever and chills-and body aches. The joint pain was bad I thought I had arthritis I am 48. By end of November I developed Shortness of breathe and an upper airway gurgling
5- I thought I had heart failure. Finally the cough stopped beginning of December. Not once did these doctors tell me not to work. I had flu/ pertussis test completed negative. I offered to wear a mask and they said I didn’t need to. Crazy right? (Another girl in office same
6-symptoms in her 30’s. Later find out she had positive Covid Ab as she quit) 2/20 I still had horrible joint pain, shortness of breath and chest pain when I walked well into 2/20. 2/20 got another sore throat, fever and chills but one of my kids had strep. I tested in 2/20
7-strep positive again on amox and improved.The joint pain and sob disappeared in end of 2/20. I have never felt better since 2/20. I have been around a lot of covid positive people unmasked & have not gotten sick since 2/20.
8-My first Covid antibody test was in 6/20 and negative over the 3 months since symptoms. I had second antibody test negative in 9/20. I work with titers and immunizations daily I am an occupational health nurse. I know titers can wax and wane in all viruses. I have some doctors
9-telling me it wasn’t COVID. I show them my (I don’t tell them the story or that is it mine because I don’t want a biased opinion) chest X-ray and they say this looks like COVID. I then tell them the story or day it was mine October 2019. I leave it for them to dig.
10- Science is real but when we politicize it and use it to enforce restrictions and lockdowns we lose public trust. I refuse to lose trust as a health care provider. I also advise all people to discuss their health with their own doctor. This is a story of survival.
11-This is a story of hope. People we don’t need masks, children need to be in school, cover your mouth when you cough or sneeze and then wash your hands. Viruses will always be around as long as people live. Stay home when sick! Make better laws and pay workers when sick.
12-stop being punitive and making workers use vacation time for illness. The overkill is creating bigger public health problems in the long run than the virus is. If you are so fearful, depressed and anxious get a therapist to help you work through your issues.
