A-symptomatic Covid?

That sounds great. However, I am in bed with covid-like symptoms that keep coming up negative in tests. So it's the opposite: Covid symptoms without actual official covid. I have an awful; dry cough with flem, I feel exhausted everything feels difficult. The rapid flow tells me I'm fine. Pfffffffffff. Annoyed.

what if it's a non-covid infectionnnnnn

Burnley123 · 41-45, M

@BlueVeins It. has. been. know. to. exits.

PiecingBabyFaceTogether · 26-30

Sorry man. I tested positive just 3 days ago. I feel that the medications ruined my stomach I felt like shit all night long. Right now I am less nauseous, I got sore throat, high temperature and I can still smell things.
Feel better soon.

Burnley123 · 41-45, M

@PiecingBabyFaceTogether You too. I was a bit better but I just had a half hour coughing spasm. Urgh

PiecingBabyFaceTogether · 26-30

@Burnley123 Coughing happens when I'm up too and then my respiratory system starts producing phlegm and it's really hard to cough it out and takes hours because my respiratory system is already weak from Muscular Dystrophy. I try not to cough.
Are taking vitamin C and zinc? Pain killers?

Burnley123 · 41-45, M

@PiecingBabyFaceTogether Just paracetamol. Your phlegm coughing is the same as mine.

Elessar · 26-30, M

Those tests are a joke, unfortunately.

I lost tastes to the point of not being able to distinguish even garlic or coffee, which persisted even after my nose was completely unclogged no less, yet those tests kept giving a negative result (I've taken like 4x of them, at the beginning, during and after what appeared like an intense cold)

deadgerbil · 22-25

I recently got acute bronchitis. I felt like shit for two weeks and had a persistent cough for longer. Thankfully not covid

Burnley123 · 41-45, M

@deadgerbil When the doctor says bronchitis and you high-five him. 👍

Yulianna · 22-25, F

Yulianna · 22-25, F

@Burnley123 😥 the Welsh are in mourning... and not just because of the rugby.

Burnley123 · 41-45, M

@Yulianna Why?

smiler2012 · 56-60

Burnley123 · 41-45, M

Soossie

I hope that you get better.... please check the level of your blood oxygen a few times a day and as long as it doesnt fall below 92then you will recover soon...

Will keep you in my prayers.... 🤗🤗

Burnley123 · 41-45, M

@Soossie Nicest person award goes to you, as ever. 👍

Soossie

@Burnley123

Aww!! Thank you....

Northwest · M

Some people are testing positive 2-3 days later, and then a day or two later, they turn negative.

Be well.

Burnley123 · 41-45, M

@Northwest I've had symptoms for five days and keep turning up negative. Not to doubt your advice, because I'm surprised I'm still negative.

PhoenixPhail · M

The PCR test was [i]never[/i] intended to be used to test infectious disease. The inventor of the test [i]said[/i] so. There are [b][i]tons[/i][/b] of false positives and false negatives. So, the test is really meaningless.

You [i]might[/i] have Covid, you might [i]not.[/i]
Just take care of yourself.
I trust whatever it is you have, will pass.

The recommended OTC treatment for Covid, is vitamin C, vitamin D3, zinc and quercetin. Same as for any other virus.

Feel Better Soon.

LordShadowfire · M

I don't often agree with the anti-vax crowd, but @PhoenixPhail has a point. The recommended treatment is the same either way.

TryingtoLava

Im sorry burns :( i hope everything works out <3

Burnley123 · 41-45, M

@TryingtoLava Thank you. You are a nice person and its great that you never ever troll when someone is being legit nice. Just saying.

TryingtoLava

@Burnley123 i care bout each and everyone of my SW friends :) youre intelligent and think outside the box and i respect that soooo much

Burnley123 · 41-45, M

@TryingtoLava Awww. I haven't talked to you much but the compliment matters because you come across as such a great human.

HootyTheNightOwl

How long have you been symptomatic???

HootyTheNightOwl

@Burnley123 You should have tested positive by now... unless its not Covid19.

Burnley123 · 41-45, M

@HootyTheNightOwl I would think so but everything about me says Covid apart from the test. I'm no disagreeing, just saying how it is.

HootyTheNightOwl

@Burnley123 Maybe you have flu??? You can get it in summer, too, if your immune system is beaten down enough.

I was surprised when it happened to my mother.

SomeMichGuy · M

You are finding out this truth:

[quote]Standard molecular tests are the gold standard for accurate testing. But they are still not 100% accurate. Rapid antigen tests are very specific for the coronavirus. A positive result likely means that you are infected. However, rapid antigen tests are not as sensitive as other tests, so there is a higher chance of a false negative result.[/quote]
(See [i]https://www.goodrx.com/conditions/covid-19/covid-19-rapid-test[/i]...yeah, a lesser source than I typically use, but ok.)

Burnley123 · 41-45, M

@SomeMichGuy Your link is not available outside the US. I agree with you though. I think I have Covid.

Iwillwait · M

Your tests suck. Stop doing the home tests.

Burnley123 · 41-45, M

@Iwillwait loz. The science we know is the best bad idea we have.

Iwillwait · M

@Burnley123 lol! You're def cured.

Longpatrol · 31-35, M

Taxation without representation!

Burnley123 · 41-45, M

@Longpatrol Well I am British. I'm also socialist. I know this is a contradiction in terms so being ill is my punishment for being the man giving it back to the man.

SweetMae · 70-79, F

Hopefully you will feel better soon.

AwakeningConfession221122

If it’s in the warmer months where you live, try and get as much sun and vitamin c. I supposedly had it but just felt like a minor flu but had a fever for a night but I was fine by day 3. I was spending my days at home getting a sun tan in my backyard.

deadteddy · 26-30, F

Not all respiratory illnesses are covid…There are tons of other viruses and bacterias that cause such. Talk to your GP and get a blood test done if it doesn’t seem to improve.

PicturesOfABetterTomorrow · 41-45, M

Depending on how long you have been sick it might not have been enough time to build up a big enough viral load to trigger a test.

Confined · 56-60, M

Remember when coughing with a sore throat was called having the common cold?

lacrossegirl25 · 22-25, F

maybe you have B-symptomatic Covid

Longpatrol · 31-35, M

@lacrossegirl25 why's he getting discount covid?

lacrossegirl25 · 22-25, F

@Longpatrol I wouldn't say discount Covid but maybe an overseas knock-off version...like my new Rolodex watch

3Dogmatic · 46-50, M

It’s what used to be called a cold.

maturedragon · 26-30, M

oh no! I hope you get better soon!

Human1000 · M

Sorry you feel like crap, Burnley. 🙁

LordShadowfire · M

Sounds like you need to go to the nearest urgent care center or whatever they have that's equivalent, and ask them for a test. Because it does sound like you've got the vid.

Burnley123 · 41-45, M

@LordShadowfire I have been teting.

LordShadowfire · M

@Burnley123 Home tests can give a false negative if it's Omicron.

Burnley123 · 41-45, M

@LordShadowfire Yes. It's well possible

MethDozer · M

The flu and common colds both still exist you know?

MethDozer · M

@Burnley123 No but if the test come up negative..... walks like a duck quacks like a duck.

You said the doctors tested you and that they said you're negative. Why fon't you believe them?

Burnley123 · 41-45, M

@MethDozer No I did a home test. Look man, I'm feeling a bit better now so whatever. I will stop isolating myself on Monday if I'm OK.

MethDozer · M

@Burnley123 ahhh. My bad I thought you went to get tested.
