bad guy Posted May 10, 2022 Share Posted May 10, 2022 (edited) After avoiding Covid for two years, I've caught it from someone I know who I thought just had a cold at a Greek life event. What sucks is I didn't catch it at all at any festivals I went to so I feel like this is some sick prank. Haven't lost any senses and just have a bit of a sore throat but how do I get rid of this fast? I'm currently under isolation at my university and my finals are next week so this is the worst timing ever So to all the infected users: how long did it take to test negative? Any home remedies? Shows to watch? I'm BORED Edited May 10, 2022 by bad guy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was gonna workout today (I haven't since Friday and it's killing me) but not sure if I'll be able to go to the gym in my building because the school knows I'm in isolation. They probably wouldn't know if I went so maybe I'll just wear a mask and go. I have some weights in my room but they're light so I won't feel as great but that's another option.

Redstreak Posted May 10, 2022 Share Posted May 10, 2022 My bf and I live together, he just got back from a work trip a couple days ago and yesterday tested positive for COVID. I’m still testing negative, though Spoiler For now Hope you continue to stay well sis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jotham Posted May 10, 2022 Share Posted May 10, 2022 I caught it last month, I was triple vaccinated so most of my symptoms were mild, but I still took it easy for a week. I spent most of my days in my bedroom watching YouTube and drinking Emergen-C. I didn't go to the gym until I tested negative, so instead I did at-home workouts on YouTube from people like Fraser Wilson and PMA Fitness.

I ran outside and just did calisthenic workouts. Just for the sake of doing your part for the community, I would not encourage going to indoor shared spaces.

Ice Cream Skies Posted May 10, 2022 Share Posted May 10, 2022 (edited) I just had it, tested positive on April 26. Dodged it for two years as well, I'm vaxxed but not boosted. In my case, the first few days were the worst. The congestion is the worst. Some coughing. Lost my appetite, one day I couldn't keep any water or food in me (indigestion). Luckily, no difficulty breathing or fever or vomiting or loss of taste/scent. Still getting over it now, though. It's not fun. Mainly dealing with some congestion and fatigue. It's definitely not something you can rush through, unfortunately. But I hope you feel better soon. Edited May 10, 2022 by Ice Cream Skies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll just do a lot of reps with my light weights or follow workout vids. 46 minutes ago, Ice Cream Skies said: I just had it, tested positive on April 26.

I'm triple vaxxed but yeah I actually had a worse sore throat the night after the event, and by Sunday my sore throat wasn't that bad. The only thing that sucks is I've already been getting headaches the past month so these past three days they've been more painful rather than just annoying. I just hope I'll be negative by finals week. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bloodflowers. Posted May 10, 2022 Share Posted May 10, 2022 Watch time travelling murder mystery show "The 7 Lives of Lea" on Netflix. It's about a French girl in 2021 switching bodies to the year of 1991 to solve a mystery who murdered a local Arab low income immigrant and his life in high school. It's gonna have you on the edge of your seat with each episode but at least give it a chance to see first episode to see if you like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dirrtydiana Posted May 10, 2022 Share Posted May 10, 2022 Same damn thing just happened to me no symptoms other than soar throat and fever for like 2 days. The tests kept coming out positive for like 3 weeks tho ? Luckily mine was pretty mild, just treated it away like a regular cold with cough drops and fever relief pills and of course lots of fluids and rest and isolation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
