my experience with covid

i had covid in November. i was sick for 3 weeks. started off feeling like congestion for 2 days weather was going up and down all week made sense. on the 3rd day i could not taste or smell, and i mean absolutely zero taste or smell. that is was made me go get tested. got tested went home and locked myself in my room. got my results in 2 days and it was positive. by this time i felt like a bus hit me and had chills but no fever. its was like the flu but worse. my throat was dry and sore i was so tired. after 4 days it started to feel as if someone had their arms around me squishing my lungs so they couldnt expand fully the next it was like i was getting squished tighter and even harder to get full breathes in. i was able to get breathing treatments and an inhaler brought to my house by my dad. after a couple of days it started to ease up little by little. still feeling as if i had a bad flu. got better day by day finally i felt pretty well could taste some but still no smell. decided to go get tested again and it took a day tp get my results this time and they we negative. went back to work the next day. as i worked i started to be out of breathe really easily and began to get dizzy well i was never told to come in after i was "better" to get checked out it has been almost a month and still getting out of breathe in normal situations thats i shouldnt be, get dizzy spells, i am completely exhausted all the time no matter the length of time i sleep, as if i haven slept at all, and my hair has been slowly becoming thinner and thinner. they say this could last weeks, months or possibly permeant they dont know for sure. i had no preexisting health conditions before i had covid. now i have to carry an inhaler around with me just incase. it was really rough to get through all of this and hope to get better a little each days as it goes. so this was my experience from what ive heard everyone is hit with a little differently but how it was for me im thankful that i did have any health conditions bc i probably wouldnt be typing this right now.
