While boarding the plane, I realized by lungs hurt every time I took a breath. Coughing, shaking uncontrollably and burning up with fever, the flight was unbearable. I spent the whole 12 hrs. coughing into my tall boyfriends armpit. Got home at midnight, took two Tylenol and went to bed. Next morning went to Urgent Care. Had temp of 103.4 and was Diagnosed with double pneumonia. I NEVER NEVER get fevers when I'm sick. Antibiotics had to be changed twice, and after 3 GP appts, I thought I was getting better. After two weeks I went back to work. That only lasted a day. I was out of work for another two weeks. Extremely tired, bad headaches, short of breath, pain with every breath. I finally saw a pulmonologist after a month out of work. She put me on Prednisone 40 mg. X 7 days which really changed the course of the illness for me. I have never been so sick. I am convinced now that what I suffered from then was Covid-19. Please don't blast me with disclaimers as I am only sharing my feelings, my opinion about my illness in June. I'm not sure, and will only probably know for sure if I were to get tested for antibodies. Any thoughts?
Sure sounds like it. I think our granddaughter who lives in Manhattan had it in January. She had gone to visit her mother in London over Christmas. I hope you are both now immune.
