Well CivicX family this has definitely not been my week. I first started to feel ill last Saturday night, but I would’ve been content with those feelings had I known what was coming.

Saturday I started feeling flu like illness late at night that progressed into Sunday. I just felt tired and had a sore throat. Eventually though my body started to ache. I had made an appointment with my doctor and they did a strep throat test on me and gave me antibiotics.

I originally started to feel better but by Wednesday night that changed. Those body sores became crippling pains and gyrated all around my arms, knees, feet, etc. It became difficult to walk. Since then I have dealt with fatigue, headache, photosensitivity, chills and all this kind of pain. Ive basically sidelined myself from driving for the time being. Moving around is... difficult right now. Especially if my mental state isn’t at its best right now. I don’t want to put myself or anyone else in danger so I’m sticking home. If you were wondering, the strep test was negative. It also doesn’t help that these symptoms just come and go as they please.

I got tested for Lyme disease today, and am waiting on the results now. It’s possible I may have gotten it a while ago from all the walking in forested areas I’ve done this year (Maybe got bit on my scalp and never realized it? Long hair doesnt help) and its now starting to show... regardless, the pain I’m in is immense. It makes me sad, cause I looked forward to driving around in my CTR on the weekend, but this weekend I won’t be doing that. I also, because of the symptoms being Covid like, have to get a COVID test, and until I get the results I’m required to quarantine whenever possible because I may be a carrier. I don’t think I am... but I won’t be selfish. So it could be a bit before i can scoot around myself again. Right now my dad is driving me or my sister since I can’t operate my car (way too much pain to shift gears right now).

So yeah, it’s been a long week, and unfortunately I can’t use car therapy to help alleviate it. I’m scared if it is Lyme though - some people have said it really screwed them up for a while (several weeks, months even) even after their treatment. Some people don’t fully recover for years if they have this kind of arthritic pain... ugh.

If It’s not Lyme then... yikes! Needless to say I’m kinda scared because of just everything I’ve had symptom wise in the last few days.

Hope your week is going better!!

It sounds Covid like. I only say this because it sounds like the symptoms I'm dealing with...


Speedy recovery ???

You too man - my doctor said the lack of fever and lack of a deep cough along with no compromised taste or smell sense leads her to believe it’s not COVID... but who knows. Hope you get better too soon :)

i hope you make a full recovery fast! best wishes
Feel better man. All the best.
Pulling for a full recovery for both of you Zeffy84 and 86Salmon. Stay strong ?

Ya, I didn't get a fever until day 3. Still don't have much of a cough. Food still smells and tastes good. The congestion, headache, and holy crap the body aches though. Worse than flu the body aches

I swear, the stuff I'm picking up from patients in the ER this year...

You hang in there. Get some rest!! ?

My congestion is lower today but the aches are extreme. They are really bad on my knees and ankles, but my back and neck exhibit it too. Dont think I’ve ever hurt this bad in my life... feels like my bones and joints just got grinded to a pulp. The fore of the pain is the knees and ankles, but my right arm and wrist are fair game it seems too.


Last night I couldn’t get rest but yet I didn’t feel that tired despite having low sleep... that’s a weird feeling. Was sleeping fine all other nights though

The only reason I don’t think it’s Covid is because I’m breathing fine - I have no shortness of breath. Most of my early symptoms like cough and sore throat are actually dissipating - it’s everything else that is not.

Who knows, it could be Covid, could be Lyme, could be none. It sucks either way!!
