kradeelavthere's some extremely tasty replies y'all have left i swear i am getting to lol
but:
I literally cannot tell if I have a particularly bad bout of tree allergies (despite never having them before...) + anxiety or the virus itself?
it's just allergies, babe list:
- tree pollen was literally almost 9000 yesterday. the scale usually goes to 1000.
- noticeable wheezing / chest tightness
- fuck this coughing. only constantly drinking honey in water seems to actually make a dent here.
- no loss of smell (yet?)
but it could also be the virus list:
- literally never gotten the allergies bit, despite living my whole life in the South before and facing slightly higher pollen count?
- see above wheezing / persistent coughing / etc
- symptoms are bad even literally not stepping foot outside for 3 weeks. not quite ... full on norovirus misery, but the only time I don't Feel most of this is when I'm asleep.
- my mom has similar symptoms, and she's been on the rare grocery trips.
- all of the gunk has hung around for a long time at this point I'd say i'm on... day 12? it started with coughing/sore throat.
pretty Noticable chest pain/tightness? i would say... 5-ish on the pain scale? today was worrying with stinging and sliding up to 7-8 occasionally, and I don't think it was for anxiety reasons. it ebbs and flows.
- fatigue being a constant the whole time. definitely taking more naps lately.
- edit: none of the more common allergy symptoms? very minimal sneezing, no itchiness.
the only thing that makes me pause on testing is that i haven't broke 99.0F, and it's not quite bad enough where I've needed to consider 'plan C, call Places and start packing your ICU bag." the worst bit is where i get on an anxiety spiral and then the chest pain bit shoots up briefly.
uughhhhh
