Day 4 October 23rd, 2020
I didn't even bother trying to go to work, nor did I try to wake up to go. I don't even remember waking up when the kids started class. Mike normally gets them up when I am home but I honestly don't even remember him getting out of bed.
I woke up sore everywhere and thought I was just flaring as sometimes that makes me feel as if I have the flu. I sat in a hot bath and then got back in comfy clothes and laid back down. I took half a pain pill which was a waste of time as it just makes me sick to my stomach. The kids had made me some soup and brought me crackers but I don't recall eating too much as I just wanted to sleep.
I woke up a few times and came out of my room but I was very weak and tired feeling. Nothing was working medication wise and I was taking Tylenol every 4 hours. Went back to bed.
Day 5 October 24th, 2020
Today I got up to do laundry and get the house picked up as I always do no matter what. But it took forever to do the little things. I laid on the couch for a bit and in my room while the kids came in and out to hang out with me. Kane at one point laid down in my room and watched a show with me but I had him leave my room after I had talked to my mom who said she thought I was sick with Covid, the night before my grandma had said the same thing. They just had this feeling. So I told the kids to keep their distance and that we would wear masks. Due to that, I went back to cleaning all surfaces I had touched or been around. I sprayed the couches and washed all our bedding. Once again I was fine for a while but I took meds again, but this time nothing was letting up. My temperature was only about 100.8 at the most but I couldn't get it to break. I was laying with wet washcloths on my forehead to cool me off and cover my eyes a bit because I felt like my face was on fire.
Day 6-October 25th, 2020
I still can't shake this. I am worse today than the day before but knew I ham ve things I need to get done for the workweek. I am exhausted and my ears are killing me. I can't breathe out of the right side of my nose and am coughing. I have been trying to keep my distance from everyone so I've just stayed in my room. I forced myself to sleep as much as I could but I am hurting so bad, my arms down to my legs. I have never felt these pains before, I hope there is nothing wrong with my veins so I keep checking my arms and legs for anything that might be abnormal. I keep asking Mike if he sees anything and he keeps telling me no.
