Thread of My Experience with COVID 19: Symptoms and Treatment. Keep in mind I'm a healthy 19 year old female and work in a long term care facility.

- I was exposed to Covid 19 on Monday but I didnt feel symptomatic until Wednesday evening. I started feeling a little tired and
My throat was a little ticklish.
- Thursday afternoon I felt so weak I couldn't lift my backpack. The pain started in my lower back, it felt like someone was hitting my spine with a bat. Then the back of neck hurt and soon every muscle was aching.
- Thursday afternoon I felt so weak I couldn't lift my backpack. The pain started in my lower back, it felt like someone was hitting my spine with a bat. Then the back of neck hurt and soon every muscle was aching.
- The tiredness and fatigue was so intense I felt like I was on the brink of dying but couldn't die. My eyes felt hot and everytime I spoke I had a nasty headache. It got to the point where I couldn't change my clothes by myself or walk.
- Surpsingly, I didnt have any of the "normal" symptoms like a fever, sore throat, or shortness of breath. I got tested positive twice and started isolating at home. A few days later, I lost my sense of smell.
- My mom advised me to boil ginger, lemon, garlic, honey, and black pepper and drink the mixture 3 times a day everyday and that helped my immune system fight off the virus.
- All my symptoms except the loss of smell were gone 4 days into quarantine. It took about a week and a half to regain my sense of smell and I'm still struggling to smell faint scents. Due to some problems with public health I had to stay an extra week inside
- In conclusion, COVID 19 is very real and not fun. Pain was a sweet 9/10. I believe I got it from work and luckily because I wear a mask my entire shift and I socially distance with friends, none of my old people or coworkers or friends were infected by me.
- Please wear a mask! Stay inside! Social distance! And Thank God for your health. I became really close to God during this month and learnt how to depend and find company in His presence. He also saved my life twice this month which is another story 
Also I got the tested 6 times in 3 weeks. It's not as painful as people make it out to be. It takes literally 5 seconds to do, just hold your breathe and close your eyes and itll be over in no time. Still not fun to get done tho. AND THE ANXIETY OF WAITING!
