Things that surprised me about getting Covid this week

Just got Covid. Ugh

1. Headaches

The headaches are TERRIBLE! I have been drinking a lot of water recently because I was doing Keto Code. I thought the headaches were from lack of electrolytes. I take the pills. I drank a ton of water. I drank the Keto electrolytes (they taste really bad) . But omg the headaches. I wanted to be rushed to the ER just to get rid of them

2. Not lost of taste but everything tastes awful

I tried to make eggs and avocado this morning. I love that breakfast. It did not taste good this morning. So I went for the stew my mom made for me. Nope. Jello tastes OK. But everything else. Ick.

3. Aches

I dont remember people talking about the aches. My neck. It hurts soo bad. My whole body just feels like it's being attacked.

4. Eye strain

I can't watch TV. The light hurts my eyes. The sun hurts my eyes.

5. Shivers

I will randomly just start freezing.

6. Not alot of coughing

I expected to be hacking up a storm with covid. Sure I am coughing but not that often.

7. Sleepy but cant sleep

I am sleepy but can't sleep. I want to just sleep through it. I want to have a great big power nap and it be gone.

8. Teeth hurt

Weird. I know. I've had a lot of dental work done. Maybe that's why.

9. Phone battery lasts longer.

When you have it on the dimmest setting it lasts a long time.

10. No interest in getting things done.

I could get a lot of things done. All the things for the end of the year at school. Clean my car and my place. Work my 2 extra jobs to make more money. Nope. Don't care.
