Well that sucks. Hopefully you have a quick and full recovery.Well, testing positive a few hours ago is just icing on the cake for me in 2020, softball related or not!

Thanks pattar, let’s hope!Well that sucks. Hopefully you have a quick and full recovery.
Zero taste or smell, which is really weird! And I feel like I’ve been hit in the back of the neck and my shoulders with a bat, like the worst case of sleeping on your neck wrong ever, that’s it!
Haven’t had a fever once, it fact it’s staying right between 97.3 to 97.7
Hope that’s the extent of it!
Sorry @RADcatcher.....didn’t mean to ruin this thread!
Thank you, glad you and your family are recovering! At what day did that fatigue hit you after your first symptoms? I’m on day 5 today after realizing I couldn’t taste or smell on Christmas Eve night. Was just tested yesterday though.Best wishes to you. My wife, daughter, and I are all recovering from this now. For me the worst part was fatigue. For two days I barely moved off my couch. I improved from that to the point that one flight of stairs would wind me. It's taken two weeks, but I think the worst is over now. Best of luck.

Thanks again!
I’m 55, man that was hard to read! Glad you guys are doing much better. So it hit you hard the day after your first symptoms? Hopefully that’s a good sign for me but as you said, everyone is different!It seems to hit everyone differently. For example, I never completely lost my senses of taste and smell. They are inhibited, but still there. My wife and daughter lost both completely.
I started feeling some symptoms on Thursday, Dec. 3 but it just seemed like a cold. Started feeling body aches and muscle stiffness on Friday, Dec. 4. By Saturday, Dec. 5 it was tough to move. All I wanted to do was sleep. I was pretty bad that entire weekend. By Monday, Dec. 7 I started to feel a little better, but the fatigue was still very real. I would carry my wash up stairs and need a 30 minute nap. The fatigue started to improve by the following weekend. I really didn't feel completely right until the latter part of last week. Christmas Day was really the first time I felt 100%, so it was a three week process for me, all in all.
My wife experienced more headaches and dizziness. She just started feeling better a couple of days ago.
My daughter also had more headaches than me, but was less fatigued. I guess being 21 instead of 52 may have something to do with that
We all still have a minor lingering cough, but we have all been released by our doctor to return to work/school. My daughter is required by her team to have a complete physical before she returns to softball activities. It is a requirement at the college she goes to for all athletes that contract Covid. Good idea based on what happened to that basketball player at the University of Florida.
It's strange how it impacts people differently. I had a work colleague recently die from this. He was 55 years old (just 3 years older than me) and in relatively good health. Honestly, he was probably in better physical condition than me when he contracted it. But in less than two weeks, he was dead. I cannot explain it.
Hopefully yours will be the more minor type and you will be back to normal quickly.

Unfortunately there are a lot of people out there that are not taking this as seriously as they should.
