Ok so I think I have the virus. But don't have any of the major symptoms. Just aches. Head, body. And fatigue. Fatigue I can only compare to when I was recovering from dengue.
Anyways, loads of people are doing searches for "eye pain" (basically sinus headache) https://www.nytimes.com/2020/04/05/opinion/coronavirus-google-searches.html
At the same time, "Ecuadoreans are now making more searches related to loss of smell than any other country in the world, once you adjust for total Google searches"

Some of the first warning signs can include extreme fatigue, weakness and chills" https://www.nbcnews.com/health/health-news/muscle-aches-extreme-fatigue-coronavirus-symptoms-go-beyond-fever-cough-n1173876?cid=sm_npd_nn_tw_ma if you get this, think about self-isolating sooner rather than later

Feeling much better today, more energy and like the haze is lifting from my head - but learning from other big illnesses, not going to over-do it and risk a relapse.
So yesterday had a bit of a set-back. Spent most of the day in bed, after working at the computer most of the day prior.
This Virus is really gaslighting me. I keep wondering whether I am imagining the pains and the "invisible corset" feeling.

The fatigue is real, but feels absurd. Here's an example: I start energetically doing the washing up, and by the end, I am using the basin for support and need to lie down straight away.
Hoping this is the end of this thread. Yesterday (day 9) I woke up completely different. The virus lifted. I had energy, and I walked to and from the park slowly. This yoke, this feeling of heaviness around my upper body was gone. And aches too. Taking it real easy now
