I just tested positive to the corona virus. I’m too weak to even feel sorry for myself, but I intend to share my symptoms to allow people quickly identify and self-isolate immediately, to avoid infecting others.

6th March: someone coughed into my face mistakenly, while speaking to me (yes run away from people that are coughing). I don’t know why the staff came to work knowing he had a cough.

9th: I had my first diarrhoea.

10th: I woke up on 10th with an uncomfortable throat. I felt like I had a film in my throat, but it wasn’t saw. Diarrhoea again. Also I felt bloated.Also, I felt dizzy while in the car; but this is normal, so it didn’t bother me.

my symptoms were this severe, and my incubation period was shorter, because I have an underlying health condition. My healthy husband is very fine, just fatigue and occasional coughing. I will update this as I go.

18th: at night time, I felt better. No cough, no fever, faster mobility. Still got a flu-like voice, still no sense of taste or smell. Felt dizzy sometimes. No appetite still. My husband is doing great. Still coughing occasionally but strong enough to gym at home.

19th: I think I’ve relapsed 💔. Woke up with a headache, pains in my chest. Couldn’t look up or around as eyes hurt. Hard to take deep breaths. Temp at 38. Took paracetamol & some of d abv cleared. weak. No sense of taste & smell. Coughing more than yesterday but there’s phlegm.

20th: Guys!! I’m doing better today. I’m so happy! Yesterday was really hard for me but I’m better now. My voice is still low but I’m smiling. My sense of taste & smell are coming back. Mild headache, no fever & I can look around. God is great!! I can’t begin to thank all of U!

23rd: this will be my last update as I’ll be ending this thread here. I feel great- great enough to make jollof 😃. I still feel the virus when I take in air through my mouth, but I have no symptoms anymore. Thank you all for your love and kindness. Please be safe
