Covid diary: day 1

[the_siobhan]

I am so tired SO TIRED. I slept 12 hours last night and I could go back to bed right this minute. (In fact, I think I will as soon as I'm done this. Embrace the nap.)

Most of my symptoms are respiratory, which is a bit of a relief to be honest. Housemate's started as a GI thing, and that did not look at all fun. So lots of snot, raw throat, wet cough, headache, aching sinuses. Brain fog of course.

That flu thing where your muscles ache? Like that, but turned up to eleven.

It also seems to have wiped out ten years of vestibular physiotherapy. I'm not dizzy at all, but my body has no idea which direction up is. So I'm holding onto the walls, especially on stairs. My house has a lot of stairs.

All the things you have heard about the taste of Paxlovid, they are all true. Ugh.

Dizziness and lots of stairs is not a fun combination. I can do nothing but send good vibes across the ocean, but I'm keeping my fingers crossed you feel better ASAP!
