i caught corona when my boyfriend's shithead boss went to a 100+ person chud thanksgiving and then had a mandatory in person meeting with every single person in my boyfriend's office. i had relatively minor symptoms. however my heart and lungs hurt enough to make me consider going to the hospital once during it, but it subsided after i burped a lot???? my heart and lungs seem to have went through some degree of atrophy and are now back in somewhat normal shape. i'll probably begin my normal exercise regimen at the end of the month after seeing a doc and making sure everythings good to go.

i did not have any sort of coughing, though i did sneeze a lot.

  • drink lots of gatorade, you get dehydrated fast while dealing with corona. i got migraines multiple times from dehydration even though i was chugging gatorades all day.

  • eat lots of protein. now i know some vegans might not like this, but meat seemed to make me feel better. eggs seemed to work pretty well, but chicken was better. i tried beans and other kinds of veggie protein, nada. this made my heart aches and lung aches way more bearable. i continue to eat a ton of eggs and it just made me feel better and better every day.

  • eat multivitamins. combine this with protein and youll feel almost normal.

  • keep your environment as clean as you can. that seemed to help me a bit, could have just been a placebo.

  • dont do physical labor or exercise, you will regret it. i was exercising before i knew i had it and i felt like i got thrown in a dumpster the next day, it was awful. took me days to start to feel normal there.

    since i had it in late november I've personally noticed its a bit harder to catch a full breath but I also have really bad allergies rn so I'm hoping that is at least part of it. definitely a little concerning in the back of my mind tho.
