People who were sick with covid - did you have a fever? Did it go away with medicine? Also, did it affect your apetite? I don’t feel like eating at all 😭

I had a fever and had panadol, hot drinks, vicks, nasal spray, put a bit of vicks in a bowl with boiling water for steaming to open up the airways, also surprisingly gargling listerine was quite helpful.

And yes it totally affected my appetite - I had lost taste temporarily and so I became really sensitive to texture and didn’t like meat at all! But my appetite is back now 😅

Thanks! Test results came back postive… but thankfully fever is gone for now 😀 Hope this goes away fast. Such a weird virus!

I had a fever, it went away in under 24 hours. I didn’t take any medicine while I had Covid, just my normal vitamins.

Still affecting my appetite. I'll be technically hungry, but the thought of eating upsets my stomach. I have to wait until I'm hungry enough to eat despite the discomfort

Fever for a day or 2.

Took basic over the counter cold medicine because I had most congestion

Not much of an Appetite for about a week to a week and a half

Yep I had a high fever for two days and basically only ate homemade egg drop soup with white rice because everything else sounded gross to me

Yes, yes and yes. The fever was only for about 24 hours though. And didn’t want to eat for 10 days.

Yes I had a fever and yes it temporarily reduced with Tylenol. My appetite greatly reduced.

Hang in there D1!

I had Covid in July. I had a fever that only went away with prescription strength Ibuprofen. Over the counter meds didn't work and the fever would linger. My appetite was fully affected. Even if I wanted to eat, I didn't have the strength to get to kitchen. Lost 17 lbs during the process.

17lbs is a lot. Over the course of how long? And what was your starting weight?

They say loss of appetite is a symptom of Omicron.

like

Fever yes. First time, I didn't treat it. Second time, I took some advil and they dropped my fever a bit

Appetite? Very yes. I lost 10 lbs in the two weeks I was sick because I just didn't eat. Not that I couldn't. I just really didn't want to

I've had a fever every day/night for the last 4 weeks, it goes away when I take Tylenol. I have also been vaccinated and am over most other symptoms except dry cough, sick stomach, exhaustion and the fever. Not sure why I'm stuck with lasting symptoms for so long, or what else I should do.

like

Just had covid a couple weeks ago (I've heard omicron can be a little different than previous variants and the OG) - I didn't have a fever at all, but felt like I got hit by a truck - that was the defining symptom that made me get tested. The body aches were awful the first couple days. After that, it was congestion, cough, fatigue, and brain fog for another week or so.

Idk what variant I had, but I had covid a few weeks ago, and had a fever over 102

Anecdotal, but other coworkers got sick in the same time frame, we all had fevers.

TLDR: Getting over your ex of 2.5 years ghosting you after they said they wanted to reconnect.

I was dating someone for about 2.5 years and then we broke up because of COVID and the long distance was making it too difficult to continue.

After we broke up, she started seeing someone else but I was heartbroken and it’s taken me over a year to really get over everything and process those feelings. (Cont.)

Do you think using “him/her” for “he/she” (ex: “her is playing” “him not here yet”) is something that kids usually grow out of? Or does it need direct intervention? I have 2 students who exhibit this error, who otherwise should be dismissed. Normally I’d just keep them on and work on it alongside other goals, but they don’t have any other goals, and with COVID, and my upcoming maternity leave in March, a more compact caseload would be advantageous.
