If this is COVID it is indeed not as simple as FLU

Last article, I shared that I was not feeling well. The thing is that, since last Friday I started feeling restless, all over my body hurts and all I wanted is to sleep. I had back pain.

My throat hurts like hell. Whenever I try to swallow and it is too dry just that when I try to drink water I want to just totally remove it from my body because it hurts.

On the next day my cough and body malaise got worst. Then here comes clogged nose which makes it hard to breath. I stayed in bed for 2 days and would just get up when I needed to eat or drink my herbal medicine. I wanted too to drink something hot or cold. I really cannot understand myself. It is when I feel hungry but it is so hard to eat. My clogged nose and painful throat so as cough is not letting me have a peaceful rest though.

On the third day, I got a little better. I started cleaning the house but then realized that with the little movement I get to feel breathless and fatigue.

Then yesterday which was the fourth day, I still feel tired maybe because I had to work despite my condition. I can actually NOT work but I would also need to have myself check and again as I have mentioned on my last article if this is really a virus this is going to ruin our family even more because we are struggling so much to pay our bill this month and we cannot afford to just be on quarantine. Good thing my brothers and sisters live on a different house though next to mine but at least they need not to come over so they are less likely to be infected.

Today I feel less fatigue. No body malaise but still tired at little movement like trying to clean up the bed or simply swipe the floor. I took a bath as well since the temperature of today's weather is really hot and makes me more weak if I don't do so.

Sorry for those who are sensitive but today I can breath way better than yesterday because when my nose is clogged I would just sneeze and this one's gonna come out. It is colored yellow and very sticky. Not the usual thing that I get whenever I am sick so I know if this comes to even much worst then I would be in ICU by now.

...end thoughts...

Now I understood why especially those elderly would need to be on ICU and that need to have some tubes so they could breath or eat because for the past days it was so hard to swallow food without suffering the pain in my throat.

I am much worried with my children. I hope this is not gonna be much worst to them and I hope they can get through.
