How can you know whether or not you have covid19 without a test?

Covid Toes. That's right. If your toes are blue and they are normally NOT blue, you might have covid19. If you also have no sense of taste or smell at the same time, that's a pretty good sign that you should call your doctor.

I'm thinking about this today because I woke up with a sore throat, feel abnormally tired, and have been coughing and sneezing...but in my case, it's probably spring allergies.

Hang in there. Back in mid March, I had some flu-like symptoms. Tired, cough, sore throat, mild fever. I stayed in bed and it lasted about 2 days, then felt fine. A number of my co-workers experienced similar within that same time frame. The timing was consistent with the outbreak on the west coast.

@BizSuitStacy I was ill with similar symptoms the first week of March. Sneezing, headaches, body aches, sore throat, and at the end of the week I assume I had a severe fever because I got the chills so bad my legs were shaking and I had to go to bed to try to get warm.

The very next day, it was gone...but so was a very large swollen lymph gland I used to have underneath and behind my right ear...which stayed there for a year and a half, and affected my eyesight and balance. I used to get vertigo so bad I had to close one eye and hang onto things on my way in to bed...and that, also, has stopped.

@4meAndyou Oh my goodness. That sounds frightening, but maybe had a silver lining?

@BizSuitStacy It really did. I went to two different doctors and asked about it, and they were going to send me to an ENT...and now the issue is just gone. No more vertigo.

@4meAndyou that is great!
