Infected and Single

[timewerx]

I recently got infected with Covid but thank God, I fully recovered. I'm mostly asymptomatic, had cough and colds for only a day and mild fever for a week. I got Covid from a crowded state-run hospital when I had to be admitted for surgery.

I got to say, the thing is real. I thought I already have strong immune system, being disease-free for almost 10 years until getting infected by Covid.

The only medication I took is prescription antibiotics and pain killers which was given to me to avoid post-surgery infection and to help reduce pain, not really to fight off Covid. I simply stayed home during my illness, resuming my normal activities with some difficulty (mostly due to the surgery)

I was never given the vaccine due to lack of supplies in our region.

That's awful, I'm sorry to hear, but glad you're okay and recovering! Unfortunately antibiotics can lower your immune system, so that's probably what made you susceptible to the virus. Hospitals are also known for picking up random illnesses (pneumonia especially) which is so crazy. You'd think you wouldn't get sick while being at the hospital lol. Take it easy and praise God for your recovery

I had antibiotics for a week into Covid. I fully recovered in two weeks. The latter one week was done without any medication.

Really thankful it didn't get worse and I was able to resume my daily activities as it was before Covid.

That's great!

Yup, except for angina. It got exponentially worse I feel like I'm having a heart attack all the time, I think side effect of anaesthesia. Afraid to go back to hospital due to two big "C"s Covid and Cost!

Never happens during exercise. Anyway, hope it's nothing serious.
