So, not sure if I had covid, think I did. Had all the symptoms but well I don't know for sure. Still it's been about 3 weeks. I wouldn't call The bug I had mild. I hate to get sick. First week was the worse. Fever, chills, sore throat, headache from hell, weak, wasn't hungry
....muscle aches. You know the typical stuff you get from a flu or a cold. The last two weeks had sinus trouble and unproductive cough, couldn't sleep much because of both. Just couldn't get comfortable, sore throat was the worst though. Trouble swallowing and drinking.
Taste buds rebelled, they are still on strike, but today I felt almost 99% normal. The bug seems to come and go in waves. Some days over the last 3 weeks I felt fine. Not 100% but good enough then I'll wake up and be miserable the next day. Strange bug.
Anyhow, like I said it wasn't a mild bug for me but and here's the thing, I have had way worse illnesses in my life. Bronchitis when I was a kid seemed to hit me every year until I moved out of my parents house. They were smokers so probably didn't help. Had chronic sinusitis to
..the point I had to have surgery. That wasn't fun either. I had several bouts of flu that kicked my ass for days sometimes longer. Colds that lasted weeks. All to say that yeah, what I had wasn't fun, but it wasn't something that I would, if given the choice, change my entire
...life just for a chance of not catching it. Not sure how one can judge a virus being milder or not if you are vaxxed or not. I mean, I can only judge it compared to other illnesses I've had. It didn't kill me so I guess that's mild in it's own way.
What's that old saying that people no longer believe in this age of softness. Oh yeah that's it
"What doesn't kill me, makes me stronger."
I suppose Another old saying can apply here too:
"No pain, no gain" the gain in this case being First hand knowledge and experience.

Finally, everyone is different. Everyone has a different level of pain threshold, a different reaction to a virus and this thread should be read with that in mind. I'm not assuming others had the same experience or even the same bug. Your results may vary, widely. Take care.
