Thank you for this Dr. John! I'm 67 and I tested positive for Covid on February 9th. I think I'm quite lucky in that I didn't lose sense of taste or smell, though I got a dry cough at first, which became productive in the second week. I couldn't breathe deeply without that very painful cough for about a week. I suffered dreadful tiredness, lack of energy and brain fog - no concentration at all. But I kept getting the calories in (kept my appetite, in other words!), and after my self isolation, tackled the quite scary prospect of a local walk, not sure how far I'd get. After that, I rapidly got stronger and stronger, until now, when I'm back riding my bike with full strength returned to my legs. I have residual (still productive) cough and throat-clearing, though no other symptoms. I live on my own, and it was touch-and-go as to whether my children would pack me off to hospital at one or two points, but I'm glad I pulled through on my own. My first vaccine is next week.

I've had a couple of very serious viral infections over the years, hepatitis A/glandular fever (the tests were sort of positive to both, the modern tests might be more definitive) and dengue fever. In both cases the onset involved an epic headache that was quite different to a regular headache. The headache for the hepatitis felt as if I had a large, heavy ball in a channel in my head and when I moved my head down the ball would roll down the channel and thump the front of my skull, when I moved my head up the ball would roll down the channel and thump on the back of my skull.
