'I felt so sick that it scares me think how much worse it might have been if I hadn't gotten the shots.'
. I'd been caring for sick kids for days. Plus, I'd been feeling slightly congested. Interestingly, I'd used a home test to confirm my COVID status about every other day since our first family member tested positive. Even with symptoms, I got a negative result two days before I tested positive.. But when I woke up the next morning, it felt as if all of my energy had been drained from my body.
I felt so sick that it scares me to think how much worse it might have been if I hadn't gotten the shots. I also lost my sense of smell. Showering was an odd experiment, as I couldn't smell my soap or shampoo. Later that week, my husband burned a pizza in the oven, and I couldn't smell the overwhelming aroma of burnt crust everyone else was complaining about. There were two full days that I was completely useless. I could barely keep my eyes open as I lie on the couch, falling in and out of sleep.
The good news is that pretty much just as quickly as I unraveled, I regained my will to do anything other than exist. I'd like to say that after my 10-day quarantine, I was as good as new, but the truth is that I felt tired for days after. There were also some persistent symptoms that cropped up during the week or two after no longer being infectious, including random body aches and extreme tiredness. It's been about a month since I tested positive, and I feel totally fine now.
