I tested positive for COVID-19

Approaching 100,000 this week. :(
Less than the annual flu. And the body count will be less as well.

You need to get a clue.
 
I just looked up your posts for the last three weeks. You've been VERY busy for being so sick.

SKANK
What else am I to do? Work from home and post. My symptoms didn’t debilitate me. I have shared what they were in great detail. Your skepticism is interesting. I am here trying to help people.

Your case simply don't fit leftist narrative. Anyone that says anything against leftist approved version of events is a threat to them.

So don't mind his derangement, enjoy it.
 
Darn kids and their friends likely as they didn't take the social distancing as seriously as we had hoped. Anyway my symptoms were relatively mild. Some chest pain, no fever but I did drop 15lbs in two weeks. I guess a GI impact is possible but rare. Lucky me. Anyway, all good now. Was tested and have a note from my doctor that I am immune. I will actually be donating plasma on a regular basis.

My question is, would it be possible for the country to reopen such as gyms and bars and allow those who have had it and have a note from their MD that they are immune (notarized) and allow us to reopen many of the businesses? Talk about herd immunity?!

I welcome your thoughts and happy to answer any specific questions you may have.
Glad to hear you've recovered, Azog.
Thanks, I went in initially thinking it was cancer but then my blood work came back fine so the doc had me take the unpleasant COVID test and voila. I never had a fever. I was shocked and yet relieved at the same time.
Can I borrow a pint of blood/plasma?
Sure. Come to Boston!

Happy to donate. We have to be the same type I believe. Although I am not sure about plasma. I am a finance guy not a doctor.
Your not in Boston stop saying it, glad your ok there killer
LOL --- I am from Brookline but was tested in Medford. Better?


You're a good poster but, seriously, you can get this again I think your doctor is full of shit saying you can give plasma, I cant give plasma today because of a new tattoo I got a few months back.


eight weeks
If you have received a body piercing, tattoo or tattoo touch-up in the past 12 months, please let us know so we can advise you when you would be eligible to return to donate. If you have given whole blood, you must wait eight weeks before you can donate plasma.

Oh blessings, Azog! One of our very own. Thanks for posting your information relative to the diagnosis and offering to answer any questions. I am so happy you beat this scourge. I know you and the family are too. Life is precious and can be gone in a matter of moments but you are here to STAY. :happy-1:

Congratulations on beating this evil virus. Life is precious.

How ironic, that a pandemic that has killed nearly 100k with many more to come, was actually the POSITIVE diagnosis, as we all know the C word strikes great fear in anyone with good reason.

Is there a moment now that you have the opportunity to reflect back in which you recognized the first symptoms? How about the progression?

Any specific steps you took to address the symptoms before you knew the definitive diagnosis (diet change, take vitamins, medicines etc?)? Did you happen to notice any immediate changes in your condition when doing so?

Thanks for your time.
#1) Weight loss was rapid and I had no appetite but I didn't have a fever and had cold like symptoms. Not a dry but wet cough. By week 2 when I was down around 12 pounds in ~eight days, I asked my doctor for a blood test. He thought it was hay fever.

#2) When I was down 15 pounds I went to get a blood test on April 4th. I was actually feeling better by then and got some of my appetite back.

#3) Sunday the test comes back negative for anything vile like cancer but he sees other things like low iron although not terribly low and something about white blood cells. He suspects COVID. On Monday I drive to Medford with my name and DOB on my dash. Two docs and a cop dressed like Bobba Fett converge on the car and stick a long swab down my throat. Temp was 98.1 so that was clear.

#4) Got my results on Wed. Positive for COVID. What sucked was the need to always sleep and I had to get up for early work calls as we are all working remotely. But this week I felt fine and getting up was easy so I knew I was better. Was surprised I was positive but 72 hours of no symptoms other than the scar tissue in my chest. Ouch!

Hope this helps.
Interesting symptoms Azog
We're told 50-80% of humanity will contract C-19, and that the majority won't know it , because the signs/symptoms aren't always the same
I guess maybe you're testimony to this?
In any case, heal well ,stay well
