I am believed to had gotten COVID 19


Mar 27, 2020, 8:42 PM

In February after working in Las Vegas during a large international trade show. There were probably 2500-3000 people from China with their flooring companies packed into the large conference center at Mandalay Bay. About 2 weeks after returning to SC I got a fever of 102.2 for one night, and then began coughing so much that at times it felt like I was drowning on dry land. It was horrible and very painful. I went to the doctor and they had just started posting information about COVID 19 but had no way to test for it. They treated me for Pneumonia and had my lungs X-Rayed. I had no fluid in my lungs so they treated me for severe bronchitis/walking pneumonia. They gave me a large antibiotic shot, then a 10 day antibiotic and a months worth of inhaler every 6 hours. None of it really seemed to help and I coughed so much that I almost got my abs back in shape for about 2 weeks. I made a full recovery, but I can see how it would be VERY difficult for elderly to handle that. Having said this: I am a type 1 diabetic but still very healthy (A1C has been in between 5.8 - 6.8 for over 15 years).

I posted this because I wanted people to know that it is not a guaranteed death sentence, and yes I KNOW I wasn’t tested for it, but my doctor has been in touch and said I am 1 of 3 people from Barnwell county that had ALL the symptoms with a history of travel since the outbreak happened. It has been over 8 weeks And a full recovery was made by 3 weeks, WITH diabetes. I am 34 years old.

It was something else. I thought a cracked a rib at one time. I’m in sales, so I quarantined myself without realizing it for 3 weeks since I could still take calls/email at home. Blind luck???

I heard the inhaler thing causes more problems than good. Glad to hear you survived.

It 100% did! I told my doctor that whenever I used the inhaler, I would cough even worse

My wife & I had it over a month ago, we had bed sweats with hi fever and coughed our heads off. My wife got a inhaler & z pack and I saw my doctor but was much better quickly. He gave me pearls for cough. Wasn’t bad at all, I have 2 daughters w/lupus but neither got it. They take Plaqinial the drug that suppressed immune reactions.

This thing hit many before testing started. I’m glad the death rate has been low and pray you all avoid it!

It sounds like you attended Surfaces. I work in the tile industry and know of four folks within our company who returned with similar symptoms.

Thanks for your report. You are correct when you say it isn't a death sentence. I hope some find the encouragement they deserve.

and the strain on our unprepared health care system and you see the problem, right?

So glad you are ok. I do think this is the 2and wave of this here.. we just didnt know!

I'm no professional, but logic makes me think as you:

this virus has been here for a while, infecting people, most of whom have recovered, and we just didn't associate their illnesses with a new type of strain.

You probably didn’t have it. Otherwise it would still be spreading in your family.

It still could have spread to his family and no one showed symptoms.

Glad you came out healthy. If only you'd tried the president's patented fish tank cleaner, you could have saved yourself nearly a month's agony. :)
