I figured we start a thread specifically for those that caught it. Keep us updated on how you’re doing, that way it doesn’t get lost in the main thread.
breh i dont understand the first couple sentences AT ALLMarch 12th, 2020
While at work guess guest of wind swirled through my chest from the central part of my lungs, breezing to my rib cage. To maintain my breath, there is a switch that is clicked ever so often in which we have to breath manually. Drawing breaths, nothing remained but resistance and pain rumbling from my back to my chest.
Eventually it subsided after minutes. The same would happen on Friday March 2020. I previously had pneumonia, which I would consider my highest tolerance of pain two years ago and this wasn't it. At this time I was aware that my risk of getting Coronavirus was probably the same as getting pneumonia again.
Throughout the weekend of the 14th and 15th, my body would continue the lapses of breathing in which I couldn't concentrate on anything else. The number for the public health line automatically disconnected, an admission to their system having a fault they would report Wednesday while I was in the hospital.
Monday followed and I knew I had to see someone, I went to a clinic initially hoping that I contracted pneumonia once more but they knew it wasn't that. It was hard to get any answers here, they scanned me for a fever of which they accurately reported from the first doctor, but the second didn't seem to want to be working and gave up after 10 mins of not being aware of how the device worked.
Leaving with a stay at home note to hand over to work I returned home. On my way back the doctors called and said for me to return, I did have a fever. This compounded with the knocking in my chest restricting my breathing was a cause for concern.

While at work a gust of wind swirled through my chest from the central part of my lungs, breezing to my rib cage. To maintain my breath, there is a switch that is clicked every so often in which we have to breathe manually, a system needing intervention from the user. Drawing breaths, nothing remained but resistance and pain rumbling from my back to my chest.

So yesterday, felt like I was ready to hang em up.
Woke up to nausea and the need to vomit. Stayed by the toilet for three hours and nothing happened.
Went to wash my face and brush my teeth afterwards. After doing that my chest locked up and was grinding against itself -lung to heart area- called up a doc and he said head to a emergency room.
They did an ecg and I was cleared. Then everyone was waiting for a covid-19 test. When we were called in for testing they asked for symptoms and said no one will be tested.
A guy beside me - separated by a tall blockade with shutters comparable to a urinal blockade - interacted with a positive covid-19 patient and had a nasty cough and fever. No test for him.
A lady who came back from the States was swabbed but was told, assume you have it and quarantine.
Seems like the info I received from the help lines are correct, if you have symptoms you will be told to stay home for 14 days.
There was one old lady with diabetes that was actually tested in turn leading to a positive result that was kept for monitoring.
As for today, now I'm losing touch with my body, I can't tell when i need to pee, the normal response isn't there, rather pain in my kidneys alert me I have to go.
Probably going back to the hospital.
On lockdown until April 1st.
@Monsanto , you're still working with this?![]()
My #covid19 story .... A letter to Governor Whitmer of MI.
Day 1of Quarantine: I was going to post a video but decided I didn't feel up to it. The last few days have been tough and today was the icing on the cake.
Early last week I noticed that I was getting dizzy when I stood up. I brushed it off as lack of sleep and the anxiety I was experiencing with all that is going on. Later in the week I started to get winded doing my normal routine and my heart would race. Again, I brushed it off as nothing to worry about. On Thursday night I could not sleep and my anxiety was through the roof. I prayed and asked God to deliver me from this stress and reminded myself that I was in his hand. Friday I could not eat, my heart was racing, and started to feel sweaty. When I got home from work I tried to eat something and that's when the vomiting started. I thought maybe it was food poisoning. But I had not eaten out and everything I made was fresh and I had been sanitizing the house since all this started. The next morning I got up and felt a little better but still no appetite. I forced myself to eat some toast and went to work. The nausea started again and got worse through the day. By the end of my shift I had body aches. I went home and I had the worst night of my life. The pain throught my body was unbearable. I started to run a fever and chills throughout the night. After 2000 mg of Tylenol i was able to relieve some of the pain.
Then today...I got up and the coughing started then shortness of breath. I called the hotline and spoke with a nurse. She advised me to go through the drive up testing. I fully expected to be seen in the car and then told to go home and self quarantine. But to my surprise, after taking my vitals, they came out with a mask and told me to park and come in. I was whisked away into a private room. The doctor wanted to monitor me and run some tests. But NOT the Corona Virus test. He said that they are only testing the critically I'll that need help breathing. They hooked me up to a heart monitor, ran an IV, took my blood, and a chest xray. His conclusion was that I likely have it or the flu but because my lungs were lear at the moment I was ok to leave. I was grateful and left with a script for the nausea and instructions to self quarantine for 14 days.
That said, I am 45 with no underlying conditions. I am healthy. I workout and I eat right. Yet I am sick POSSIBLY with the virus. I was working up until yesterday in a very public setting. So if I can get sick this thing is very contagious. I have never had the flu and barely get a cold every other year. And even then it lasts for a few days.
Governor Whitmer shut it down! With limited testing we have to take better precautions. I dont want my grandmother, or your grandparents or sister or anyone else getting this. And while I know it is not totally avoidable we have to slow the spread. And those who think it's not serious think again. I never thought I would get it. And who knows maybe I dont have it. But because we can't test everyone we will never know.
I know it's a hard decision. It will hurt our economy. I myself have no provisions past the next month or so. But I trust God to make a way. Trust in His wisdom and direction. The health of our nation is at stake. We will be ok. We stand with you as Michiganders.
