First time: severe headaches, severe chills (like ice cold in a 68℉ room), annoying gastrointestinal issues. Lasted 72 hours. Very early in the epidemic. Didn’t know to check SpO2 or temperature. Only diagnosed as Covid retrospectively when comparing symptoms I’d reported before we knew what Covid was.
Second time: approximately four months after first bout. Lost sense of smell for 48 hours. Winded walking up stairs or walking briskly. Temperature barely moved. Had “brain fog” for about three months.
Neither infection has been formally confirmed, by the time I took an antibody test over a year had passed from the first infection and close to eight months from the second.
Have since been vaccinated with Moderna, haven’t had any noticeable symptoms since.
