I am expecting that it was just ordinary sick but it goes wrong.
September 04, 2021
In the morning I feel something wrong with my health but I am thinking that it was just ordinary or if I will make a baby sick it will take more serious, so that, I continue what I have planned earlier to wash or clothes. It was 5 loads in the washing machine. And in the afternoon, I am so tired and I don't like to move or to cook for our lunch but I have no choice because I have an 8-year-old Son to feed and I need to finish washing the clothes. When my husband arrived from his work, as a Toktok rider he said that I need to take my medicine immediately.
At night, I feel super tired it was my first-time feel like that tiredness. My legs, my arms, and my head were aching. But I can manage my headache. I did not get my temperature that time because our thermometer was broken but I feel that I had a super high fever in my body and I chill also.

When I wake up in the morning I feel fine, that feeling that I don't have a bad feeling last night. I feel like nothing happen to me but I have a little bit of tiredness but I can handle it.
September 06, 2021
I am fine at that time, but I have a little feeling of nervousness and a little bit of feeling of chill even if it's hot. I don't have a fever, I feel a little bit of sore throat but it was gone immediately when I used to gargle (bactidol) and (betadine). The sore throat was gone but my cold is still there, I don't have a runny nose but my cold is something inside that can't go out.

Today I take a bath because I feel fine but I continue taking my medicine for my cold but for my fever, I stop taking it yesterday.

In the morning. My bad feelings are back, I feel tired that I don't like to move. My cold become severe that one of my noses was blocked. My throat was so dry even if I drink a lot of water. In the afternoon I feel so worried because my sense of smell was gone, I smell a little but it's different from everything that I want to smell it smell the onion, garlic it's smells nothing but I can smell the alcohol but it hurt my when I smell it. I want to smell the expensive perfume that was given to me by my sister in law but I did not smell the fragrance of the perfume.
My husband was on the delivery at that time, I never contact him about what I feel that day I wait for him until he went home. When he arrives he asks me why I pack some things I told him that I lost my sense of smell I want to report myself to the RHU (Rural Health Unit) to isolate myself. But my husband told me that don't do that if you got a mild covid you can threaten it in the house what if you can catch a severe covid in the isolation area because your immune system is already low.
So stop panicking, even if I don't taste good food also. My sense of taste is also gone, but I only taste the sweetness of the Orange fruit but the other food there is no taste at all.
I suffer those feelings for almost 6 days, those days I panic because there are times that I feel shortness of breath. And I told my husband about it and he said just relax don't panic just continue drinking the medicine and your multivitamins.

I am searching for a medicine called Lianhua because they said it was an effective medicine for Covid patients and they said it was a traditional Herbal Medicine of the Chinese People.
This herbal medicine was so effective because my clogged nose was slightly relieved. And also my brother in law was taking this medicine he was the one want to buy this medicine so that we are in a hurry to search and buy this medicine.
We are in the hurry to buy this medicine because on his schedule of dialysis last Saturday he was diagnosed also that he was positive with Pneumonia so he needed that medicine for cure.
September 13, 2021
Early in the morning, my brother in law called my husband and he told him that he needs to go to the medical centre for the swab test and he told us he was having difficulty breathing but he is already suspected of covid so we are requested for Ambulance in the RHU.
This is the hardest part for us, requesting an ambulance for suspected covid is so difficult. The RHU doctor called the medical centre to that we have a patient that needs medical attention because he is also a dialysis patient but the medical centre can't accept my Brother in law if we did not bring 2 oxygen tanks. The Medical centre was out of stock of oxygen because of a lot of positive patients of covid, if we bring my brother there without oxygen tanks they did not accommodate him. From 9 am up to 1 pm we keep asking our friends, near hospitals where we can borrow or rent oxygen tanks but sad to say it all was out of stock the refilling station was available for the next day.
At last, we found an oxygen tank but my brother need to wait for almost 3-4 hours his sister will bring it to him. But sad to say my brother in law did not survive he did not wait for the oxygen tank, he just passed away at quarter to 1 pm.
On that day I am not yet fine, my home isolation was broken because of the emergency, I've got nervous, palpitate, nauseated, vomiting shortness of breath on that night.
While my husbands are so busy with the burial of his brother, they buried it at 11 pm because it is suspected covid.
I keep calling my husband to update what is my feelings in the house. Until they arrived at midnight in the house but my feeling is still something wrong.
September 14, 2021
My feelings are still the same, I feel that I have a hyperacidity I have a fever, I have a cold on the inside that that doesn't go out. I don't have a runny nose but I know I have a cold on the inside and sometimes my fever was on the inside. I feel bad in my stomach that's why I need to buy antacid and Omeprazole for the medication in my stomach upset.
The wife of the cousin of my husband prepare a juice of Sambong leaves but it tastes so bitter so that I vomit after I take it. And after I vomit I feel better but slight. I sleep early that night so that I can rest well.
September 15, 2021
When I wake up I feel better but still have the feelings in my hyperactivity and a slight fever on the inside. But much better than yesterday, but sometimes I feel shortness of breath. And my husband bring me to the hilot so that he will know what happened to me. And the hilot told him that there is nothing wrong but observe me for 2 weeks because she thinks that I am pregnant. And the hilot said to drink a bogayana so that my fever or cough will get outside after I drink that.
September 16, 2021
Today I feel better I don't feel the stomach upset but I continue drinking my medication and also at this time my sense of taste and smell was slightly back. So I am happy that I recovered little by little. And also I eat a lot of guavas because someone told me it will help to bring back the sense of taste.

Atlas, at this time I can take a bath because I don't have a fever anymore. Someone told me also to put some Sambong Leaves, Pomelo leaves because according to the oldies it will help that the fever will not come back.
I take a bath every day after that but sometimes I feel shortness of breath and I still have feelings of cold inside. If I can smell or feel the cold of the aircon or when it rains and it's very cold my nose feels pain on the inside. I think this is the effect of the mild covid to me.
Even though I have nothing to do I feel shortness of breath sometimes. Upset of stomach, dighay Ng dighay. When I google it, it says when the virus reaches the inside we can feel that way. And also my sister in law was a mild covid survivor she feel this way also for almost 2 weeks. So that, I need to observe myself for 2 weeks if it continues I need to see a doctor. Yeah, I need to see a doctor because I feel that I have anxiety about what happened to me these couple of weeks.
I stay at home for almost 2 weeks before I got that virus, my husband went to the hospital together with his brother who died last week for the swab test. I think they catch that virus in hospital and they bring it home so that I catch that virus too.
At this time I believe that the covid is very true. And when I saw some post on Facebook that the Humidifier or the thing that release a negative ion will help so that I bought that one for Son because we need to protect our child today. We will follow us soon if I can find another budget.
And also we take some Vitamin C and my husband is an ever on.
I believe that it's too hard to have that virus, it got better soon we need to take that vaccine too. Because my sister in law told us if we got vaccinated we will get better faster it will not last more than 15 days. Because we still feel the symptoms sometimes but I think it was mix with my anxiety.
I hope I will be better soon and have no feelings like this. It is too hard and you feel nervous too when you at weak.
Stay at home.
Keep safe.
I also lost my sense of smell and taste too for almost one week,but the positive side was my fever is just mild and it only takes one day. I have my sinus that's why i always have headache but i don't have any body aches. My baby got infected with my runny nose and he got a mild caught but we are lucky that God protect us. We both recover now. Anyway im sorry for the loss of your husband brother. Get well soon po.
