Anyone else experiencing fatigue and aching legs after covid? I had it around 21 April, with sore throat, hoarse voice and feeling drained. Most symptoms are now gone - but the fatigue is persisting.

Idk if what I had a couple months ago was covid or not, but I definitely had a period of intense fatigue after being sick with something. It seems to be getting better, but I still feel more easily wiped out by exertion than normal. Not aching legs exactly, but I often feel my tiredness in my legs, as if I've been hiking.

My cousin was also sick with something recently, tested negative for covid, but has been dealing with severe fatigue since then. And she normally has a ton of energy, bikes everywhere in winter, works out a lot, so the contrast is pretty striking. She also seems to be getting better but slowly.

how you feeling frogbs?

did your wife ever end up testing positive after panera bread btw?

Tracer Hand, Tuesday, 10 May 2022 13:20 (one year ago) link

tbh I have no idea how I dodged Omicron, I guess this was just a matter of time

what really sucks is that I was supposed to go to Boston tomorrow to see my brother, it was gonna be my first actual vacation since this whole thing started. great timing huh?

so far just feels like a mild flu. not bad, just kinda annoying

did your wife ever end up testing positive after panera bread btw?

I think that was in February 2020, they did have Covid tests quite yet. I'm surprised someone remembers :)

frogbs, Tuesday, 10 May 2022 13:22 (one year ago) link

Well, my husband and I got it. Minor tickle in the throat, post-nasal drip, a little tired. Fingers crossed it doesn’t get any worse.

We know exactly where we got it, too— two dear friends came for dinner on Saturday (they felt fine but tested neg before coming) and then Sunday night one of them didn’t feel great— Monday morning, positive test. Alas.

the thing finally caught me last week! had a nasty sore throat for a couple days, which gave way to fatigue, headaches, and congestion. the night i tested positive was the only night i had a real fever, with chills. i tested positive last week and i'm still feeling a bit foggy, with fatigue and a feverish feeling, even if the fever isn't showing up on the thermometer. i was hoping to travel to my in-laws this weekend, but the at home i took today came back positive, which means i might still be contagious.

overall, would not recommend getting this thing lol, but i'm doing fine.

in places all over the world, real stuff be happening (voodoo chili), Tuesday, 10 May 2022 20:49 (one year ago) link

woke up with a sore throat and upset stomach, busted out a self-test and... positive. after taking dozens of them over the past year it's surreal to see a positive result! hope everyone is feeling better soon.

I haven't had it yet (that I know of) but I waved at a Q-anon, Trump fan, vaccine refuser neighbor outside the other day and she said, "Don't get too close, we're still getting over a cold. We were fine and then suddenly one day we both got really sick with fevers and cold symptoms. Then we seemed to get better but it keeps coming in waves. Anyway, have a nice day!"

It's so weird, obviously it's not COVID cos that's fake, we can't put our finger on what it is. Maybe 5G?

mookie wilson shaggin balls (Neanderthal), Friday, 20 May 2022 14:50 (one year ago) link

I am almost at 100% by the way! been sleeping like the dead but feeling fine otherwise.

That is great news.

PBKR, Friday, 20 May 2022 22:51 (one year ago) link

I’m still a snot bucket, but the cough is subsiding and today was the first day I didn’t have to take a second Tylenol Cold midday to keep it at bay, so it seems to be abating some. I’m still foggy in the brain, which concerns me a bit.

war mice (hardcore dilettante), Saturday, 21 May 2022 03:51 (one year ago) link

day four of a punishing fever, sore throat is persistent but not terrible... hope it's done with soon.

Jaime Pressly and America (f. hazel), Monday, 23 May 2022 19:03 (one year ago) link

our 2 year old got it. both kids banned from daycare for 5-10 days. (the other one can come back after 5 if he doesn't get it and we can isolate a 2 year old from a 4 year old hahahaha.)

big shout out to the FDA for delaying the meeting to review the moderna under 5s vaccine to "avoid confusion".

𝔠𝔞𝔢𝔨 (caek), Tuesday, 31 May 2022 20:41 (one year ago) link

i'm sorry to hear that caek. you've been banging on about this for awhile now. does your 2 yr old have a fever? how did you find out?

Tracer Hand, Tuesday, 31 May 2022 20:52 (one year ago) link

Oh fuck, sorry to hear that caek.

a superficial sheeb of intelligence (jon /via/ chi 2.0), Tuesday, 31 May 2022 20:56 (one year ago) link

Ugh, sorry caek. Best wishes to the kids and you.

how's it going, caek?

Tracer Hand, Wednesday, 1 June 2022 19:02 (one year ago) link

thanks! 2/4 of us have it now (me and the youngest). youngest is generally doing pretty well. he wakes up with a fever, we give him tylenol during the day, and he's mostly fine.

i feel like i felt when i got vaccinated, i.e. generally achey, plus a mild cough. no stuffy nose, sense of taste fine. i'm getting paxlovid via being a big lad. (filled out a form at https://www.findcovidcare.com/ and paid $49, didn't even need a telehealth call)

hoping the other two get it tbh so we can visit the uk without risking getting stuck (https://www.nytimes.com/2022/05/19/travel/testing-requirement-flying-us-cdc.html). 2/4 of us getting it is no good to me.

𝔠𝔞𝔢𝔨 (caek), Wednesday, 1 June 2022 19:54 (one year ago) link

glad to hear you got Paxlovid, and thanks for that site. i think we have Test to Treat here but if those run out of supply, that might be our next option for my folks if they ever get it.

Gymnopédie Pablo (Neanderthal), Wednesday, 1 June 2022 20:05 (one year ago) link

also glad to hear taste is fine

Gymnopédie Pablo (Neanderthal), Wednesday, 1 June 2022 20:05 (one year ago) link

test to treat is here too, but i can't really take or leave the kids. telehealth is my best friend.

𝔠𝔞𝔢𝔨 (caek), Wednesday, 1 June 2022 20:15 (one year ago) link

It's a good alternative option that I wasn't aware of (I mean the overnighting of the meds post sharing of test result!)

Gymnopédie Pablo (Neanderthal), Wednesday, 1 June 2022 20:19 (one year ago) link

wow paxlovid makes everything taste of gone off grapefruit and metal

𝔠𝔞𝔢𝔨 (caek), Friday, 3 June 2022 00:01 (one year ago) link

3/4 have it now. One to go. The last one has given me about 300 colds over the past four years so seems only fair that I should give him covid.

a friend who took it said the metal taste in his mouth didn't go away for the whole time

How's it going, f. haze?

Ima Gardener (in orbit), Friday, 3 June 2022 00:31 (one year ago) link

I live! Tested negative for the first time this morning, day 13. Fever broke on the fifth day, then I lost my sense of taste/smell for about a week but it's mostly back now. There were a scary couple of days where I constantly smelled something akin to rancid peanut butter, which thankfully went away. Still have a little bit of congestion and I get tired if I try to do too much.

Hope y'all see the end of yours soon, caek!

Jaime Pressly and America (f. hazel), Friday, 3 June 2022 01:17 (one year ago) link

oof that was a long 17 days. We all got it. We’re all clear now. the last one goes back to daycare on Monday.

𝔠𝔞𝔢𝔨 (caek), Saturday, 11 June 2022 15:14 (one year ago) link

Glad to know. What were the worst symptoms?

Malevolent Arugula (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Saturday, 11 June 2022 15:24 (one year ago) link

I’m on day six of what is a very mild Omicron. My symptoms were slight chest tightness the first few days and a really stuffy head where I felt like my nose needed blowing every 10 minutes, but with very little actual snot. Now I can breathe but the tissues are full, and I felt things start to lift yesterday. No fever, no losses of smell or taste, only slight sore throat.

With the benefit of hindsight, pregnancy.

Went on a 10 trip with actual airplane rides for the first time since December 2019, got home late Monday, felt abnormally tired and scratchy throated starting Wednesday night but chalked it up to allergies and jet lag. Felt like garbage Thursday with a headache and exhaustion but tested negative; this morning after sleeping 10 hours I immediately saw the “T” line for the first time in dozens of rapid tests I’ve taken. Kid and wife are currently negative but both had had colds during the trip and never tested positive but they both got boosted last month and I didn’t.

Timeline wise I feel like I got it while unmasked for 30 minutes having a beer across from the Prince store in the Minneapolis airport but who knows.

joygoat, Friday, 24 June 2022 17:43 (one year ago) link

best of luck. hope the wife and kid don't get it but...you know. for us it was super frustrating because a new person would test positive every 4 days. so we had to keep them out of school for 3 weeks

with any luck you'll be feeling better by Monday but Covid seems to have a long tail. I got it last month, it was a full 4 weeks before I felt fully normal again

frogbs, Friday, 24 June 2022 19:05 (one year ago) link

tested positive on an at home rapid test today

i blame samuel alito

horseshoe, Friday, 24 June 2022 19:17 (one year ago) link

feel achey and chills. cough was the first symptom. v tired. fever is only 99.5 though.

horseshoe, Friday, 24 June 2022 19:21 (one year ago) link

Feel better, horseshoe!

My mom and dad got it; I suspect my dad brought it home from work. I narrowly escaped after hanging with them last Sunday. A frustration: he felt symptoms as early as Saturday yet didn't get confirmation until....this morning as he's improving.

Both are vaccinated + single boosted.

Malevolent Arugula (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Friday, 24 June 2022 19:30 (one year ago) link

thank you! I tested last night and was negative but today my symptoms worsened. Also double vaxxed and single boosted

horseshoe, Friday, 24 June 2022 19:33 (one year ago) link

I got it last week from an airport probably. My experience with omicron was really similar to a lot of my friends: bad flu-like symptoms for 3-4 days and then almost fully better after that. My least favorite symptom was being completely covered in sweat at random points in the day.

Bongo Jongus, Friday, 24 June 2022 19:33 (one year ago) link

oh yeah also most people I know who got it recently only test positive 2 days into feeling sick

Bongo Jongus, Friday, 24 June 2022 19:34 (one year ago) link

My brother beat his but his voice is weak and he's still tired.
