I Just Found Out I Had COVID-19 and We Don& #39;t Know Much About This Virus:
Many who have had the virus have suffered from similar symptoms. I was asymptomatic and didn& #39;t begin to experience anything until weeks or months later.
I hope this story encourages people to be safer...

A few weeks ago I began feeling fatigued to the point that I could barely stand, my ability to focus was lost, and I started having bad stiffness in my neck, migraines, and brain fog.
I have multiple sclerosis, and thought it might be symptoms of that for the first few days...

I realized after a while that it wasn& #39;t my multiple sclerosis and started researching. My symptoms seemed aligned with meningitis so I went to the hospital.
They ran blood tests, COVID tests, and did a spinal tap to check for meningitis. Everything came back negative.

Because the doctors couldn& #39;t figure out what was going on, they put me on doxycycline, an antibiotic that fights meningitis and other things.
The medicine made me extremely sick, and my symptoms weren& #39;t stopping. So, we ran more tests...still negative.

After multiple tests, doctors told me there was no way that I had COVID-19 and that it must have been some other infection that would go away soon.
Luckily, I decided to do more research and read stories online about people whose tests were negative but they had it.

I went to go get checked again, but for antibodies as well.
Turns out, at some point I did have COVID-19, but I was asymptomatic. What I& #39;ve been suffering from is post-COVID syndrome.
An entirely different set of health issues that you can still have after you& #39;ve recovered.
