First time having COVID

[Henryhover]

Hey guys 👋

So just a little back story.. I've been ill for about 4-5 weeks with this new cold going about saying it will last weeks but obviously tested anyway just to be safe but negative up until the day after I broke up for work last week I tested positive, typical. I've never had COVID before, managed to avoid it for the last few years 😂 but I'm interested to know in what did people suffer with during and after COVID? Currently been negative for a few days now but my hearing in my right ear has gone.. doesn't hurt like an earache or anything but it's so annoying.. has anyone had anything like this and what have they done to help?
Can literally hear myself breathe and eat 🫣😭😂

I must say wow to you managing to dodge it for so long! Ear ache that was continuous like my ears popping on an aeroplane was a significant symptom I suffered with both times ive had it . I am really starting to understand and see that as we progress with living with this there is no solid or guaranteed symptom you will get or not or how you body handles it ....in both my times I never really had a cough or temp but aches , headaches and snot !!! snot for days ! no snot for weeks even after I tested negative . Hope you feel better soon and fingers crossed your. body handles it well for you .

You may very well have had it before, just unknowingly. I have had it at some point but would never had known had I not tested positive for antibodies through work.
