Snake Posted April 1, 2020 Share Posted April 1, 2020 At the end of January the wife and I were in Rhode Island for a half week. Shortly after we got back, she was down for a week and I had something similar. Never sweat so much in my life...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got sick after traveling to AR and back on a hunting trip and just chalked it up to being run down. I haven't honestly been that sick in years. Whatever it was was pretty potent, DR just said it was a virus and I needed to rest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had to change the sheets from all the sweat. I would really like to take an antibody test. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funny that you had almost the same symptoms that I did. Def knocked my dick in the dirt. It is also crazy that I had this crazy skin issue after the fact. I've been standing in a UV B light chamber for the past 6 weeks 3 times a week. Skin DR said that the sickness was directly responsible for my skin.

spin_dry Posted April 1, 2020 Share Posted April 1, 2020 An almost universal symptom that sets it apart from the flu is loss of taste and smell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So a month after I was sick, I got these little teardrop sized red spots on my stomach. I thought it was hives from the wife switching my body wash. I called my DR after 4-5 days and asked him for prednisone. He called me in a script and told me to call in a week if they didn't get better. Fast-forward a week and they are still spreading...... I go in and he doesn't know what the fuck I have. Tests me for all kinds of auto-immune things like AIDS and HEP-C (which I had a cow over because there is no way I have either) but anyway says I may have vasculitis (and that scared the hell out of me). I asked for a referral to a dermatologist and they saw me right away. DR took a look at me and said I developed Guttate Psoriasis. First question he asked was if I was sick in the last few weeks/month. He said that specific form is triggered by a "strep like" virus (this was prior to the Covid). Anyway it has been a long time healing up, and anyone that has had strep can get this....good news is that it heals up and usually never comes back. Long few months man.

Nothing like that in my experience. Only thing I notice in reference to that is I get red blotches... almost like a bruise but no real trauma. This pic... I was detailing the convertible this weekend and got into some tight spaces. Look at this shit... they have faded about half... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I showered several times through the “illness” looking for any and all relief so I was ready for surgery type sterile. I’m not sure but I think that virus lives a long time on bourbon bottles. It’s the only thing that I can figure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at this shit... they have faded about half... That's weird...... I wonder what that is all about?? As of today my arms are healed, legs, and my torso has just faint splotches left. I was using some sort of script cream that had coal tar mixed in it. I smelled like diesel fuel....god love my wife for putting it on. Local pharmacy had the strongest CBD cream that you could get, and I was doing light therapy. I don't use any of the cream now and the good news is that I'm almost done with the light, and I have a BITCHING tan now. I should only have 10-12 more light treatments to do and it should be gone and never come back. It is a really rare form of Psoriasis and doesn't stay with you like the normal plaque psoriasis.

XCR1250 Posted April 1, 2020 Share Posted April 1, 2020 11 hours ago, ACE said: Lots of anecdotal stories of people being sick but testing negative for the flu. Experts say it’s entirely possible it was in North America long before it was first found https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/factcheck/2020/03/26/coronavirus-fact-check-could-your-december-cough-have-been-covid-19/2899027001/ Wife and I were very ill, I guess it was Jan. or early Feb., we had slight fevers, dry cough every few seconds, somewhat hard time breathing, lasted about 3 weeks for both of us, my diaphragm and chest hurt so bad it was hard to cough due to the pains but had no choice but to cough, thought I was going to rupture something, she was the same..some time later she went in for an annual checkup, her Doctor said we both probably had the CV as at the time it wasn't well known..now I'm actually hoping we had it as perhaps we are now immune to it. She always brings something home while working at Wally World. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edmo Posted April 1, 2020 Share Posted April 1, 2020 There was some nasty stuff going around the wife’s office around March first. Everybody was sick. One person she works closely with disappeared around March 1 and never came back. A few weeks later they announced that someone had the cv but wouldn’t name them (health privacy act). She had it bad for a few weeks, high temp and whole body sore. Daughter and I have been fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
