Hi

It is Day 11 since i was diagnosed with COVID 19 . I was tested twice to confirm the diagnosis.

It started with GI symptoms, lack of appetite, lack of taste and smell, no fever, and thereafter i developed a sore throat and a mild couch, tiredness and extreme anxiety.

Since yesterday, i have neurological symptoms, visual disturbances, dizziness, headache in frontal part of the brain and tingling in my hands and feet. My fever has also gone up. I will appreciate if anyone can let me know if they have experienced similar symptoms and at what stage do you seek medical assistance for neurological symptoms.

      Thanks Susan. Did the neurological symptoms pass or did it return? Did it become more severe? The is so confusing. I felt better this morning and this afternoon new symptoms appeared.

      hi. I was curious.to know if your sore throat affected your ears and have you a tight feeling around your neck?

      I'm on what I think is week 11 and at the point where I cant take it anymore.

      one day it doesn't hurt and the next it does followed by a blocked nose on and off.

      I am also experiencing similar symptoms.

      Also, did you have loss of smell and taste?

      Did it return? And how long did it take?I'm so stressed as I'm not able to smell anything (except extremely concentrated solutions) and it's messing with me.
