What’s up my TSC brehs. Just wanted to make my experience with this shyt public since it’s becoming a legitimate issue.. keep in mind I’m in my late 20’s and healthy with no underlying health issues


So March 13th is day I started having light symptoms. I remember this date specifically because Jay Electronica dropped that night.. I just felt out of sorts the entire day. I had no appetite, couldn’t eat no matter how hard I tried.. felt tired and exhausted.. shyt was strange

Fastforward, I woke up that Monday the 16th with crazy diarrhea which was WILD to me since I hadn’t been eating. I knew right away something wasn’t right and it could be the Rona. That night is where shyt went completely downhill.. I had a slight fever before I went to bed, took a couple Advil thinking nothing of it and Jesus fukkin Christ was that a bad idea.. I woke up at like 2AM with the most insane, uncomfortable feeling in my chest that I’ve ever felt. Like, I can’t even describe it. I’ve never felt this type of pain before..


You know that weird static feeling you get when your foot falls asleep? That’s how my fukkin chest felt. It literally felt like fireworks were going off in my lungs, and although I wasn’t necessarily having trouble breathing, it did take an unusual amount of effort to actually breathe in. I panicked, had no idea what to do.. that’s the scary part.. you almost don’t wanna let anyone know because you don’t want people to worry, but at the same time you don’t wanna keep the shyt to yourself and fukking die..

Next day, tried to get a test but because I’m not high risk, was denied and told to quarantine, social distance and rest.. at this point, I’m done panicking.. I’m like there’s no way I’m going out like this.. decided to go to war with this shyt. For next week and half, I went fukkin INSANE with immunity boosts. Vitamin C, Turmeric, Goldenseal, Echinacea, zinc etc. I strapped the fukk up! Been taking typical cold medicine (mucinex, NyQuil) All Ive been eating is fruits and veggies, drinking a shyt ton of water and playing Xbox. It’s helped tremendously..


FF to today.. I still have small fevers every once in a while, and sleeping can be uncomfortable at times but my appetite is back. slight cough here and there but I feel the worst of this shyt is definitely behind me. I’d say I’m like 85-90% at this point.


The moral of all this is basically, DON’T PANIC. At this point, some of you are most definitely gonna experience this shyt unfortunately. There’s way too many cases not to. You might freak out at first but it’s really not that bad outside of the initial shock. The chest pain was awful, but you can and will beat this shyt! Load up on your vitamin intake, drink mad fluids, isolate and whstever the fukk you do, DO NOT take ibuprofen.


WHat is this about Ibuprofen?

I appreciate y’all man. The last 2 nights are the first time I slept with virtually no problem.


My throats a little sore right now but I genuinely feel the worst of this virus is behind me.


Stay safe y’all, it’s getting bad out here

Get well soon bruh

Scary symptoms. :merchant:

No wonder older people can't handle that. And the US hasn't reached it's peak:sadcam:

The US man..

unless you’re damn near dead, they will send you home and tell you to isolate.


This shyts ridiculous. I get that supplies and test are scarce but damn.. we were not prepared at all

and that’s why these numbers are gonna be off. That fukkin test should be as easy as home pregnancy test. Cough on a fukkin strip and wait 5 mins. How can we not have some shyt like that yet you have home drug tests that work in a couple of mins.

manufacture the tests and have them in drugs stores so people can buy as many of they need. Then when it tells you if you have it or not, then load up on all of the shyt that you said you took that made you feel better.

Sounds like catching the rona might legit be the most healthiest thing to happen to me.:ohhh: all those vitamins, fruits and veggies I'd be in fantastic shape.

Didn't know diarrhea was a part of it, my mother has been going with it too (was for one day), outside of that she has had coughing and throat issue. No fever at all though. She did get tested for it after she went to urgent care the 2nd time, result should come tomorrow hopefully. She is not feel loss of appetite or fever at all. Hoping it is a heartburn issue at worst for her.

So how many days did you have it and which days were the worst? Seems like you didn’t have it as bad as some other people I’ve seen describe it

I was sick (body aches, sore throat, fevers here and there) for a little less than 2 weeks, but the worst of it which was the chest pain and difficulty breathing only lasted about 4 days. I’d say the first and second nights were the worse but it gradually became manageable.

so yeah, about 2 weeks. I feel perfectly fine now outside of a scratchy throat


And as bad as it was for me, I definitely think I had it easier than some because of my age and health
