Had it (so i think) back in late Feb / early March.

Started feeling feverish and crummy on a Friday afternoon, no big deal, took off from work early and headed home.

By Sunday night I was a mess, Advil did a good job of controlling the fever symptoms. Breathing was a bit of an issue (I'm asthmatic and have albuterol and a nebulizer on hand, so breathing issues are nothing new for me).

Sunday night rolls around and I waited on the Advil too long, I got a case of the cold chills, shaking really hard, well, that triggered my asthma. I took the advil, it took about 30 minutes to catch up, in the meantime I laid on the bed on my stomach (the only position that felt marginally good) and lived hard on my nebulizer. If I didn't have that nebulizer I wouldn't be here today, it was really that bad.

repeat the above on Monday night as well, almost exactly.

I ended up taking Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday off from work, I never take days off from work.

This, by far, was the sickest I've been in 40 years.

It cleared by Wednesday but the lingering breathing issues hung on for a week or so. I had other symptoms too, but the breathing thing trumped everything else. Hard to describe what it feels like when you can't get enough air and think you might be dying...

Why would you be that sick and not go to the hospital?
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 76874028


Well, I live 30 minutes to the closest hospital, my nebulizer runs on a/c and there is no way I would have made it without that machine. Additionally, I had zero desire to be quarantined someplace (especially an expensive-assed hospital that I can't afford) for 2 weeks.

Whether you like it or not everyone is going to have to get this before life returns to normal. It transmits and acts like the flu, herd immunity is the only way, so the sooner you admit that the better off you'll be.

Yup. And better to stay home than head to the hospital for most cases.
