Get well OP. Zinc +, vitamin B12. Pho and Dal tadka . And rest when you need to
Mycatisbetterthanyourcat03
Losing my taste and smell also caused me to not want to eat much. Thanksnothanks covid
Ivalicenyan
There was talk that pre-diabetics went diabetic after they got covid, and an urge to drink water suddenly is usually a sign of something
Ivalicenyan
Like you should always drink water, but if it's not your default drink and you suddenly urge it, it's usually a symptom of something
kimmie71490
I lost a lot of weight but I gained it all back. I get awful but then I had to convince myself that I was pretty much anorexic and dehydrate
kimmie71490
Dehydrated for 2 weeks. I lived off of oatmeal, eggs, and Christmas candy lol
theweylandyutanicorp
Since I got COVID, all I want is water. Soda is a flavorless assault on my mouth and tea tastes bland. I drink 3-4 liters a day now.
ianb93
That is a fuck ton of water. Has the doctor ever told you that you are prediabetic. If you are that thirsty it can be a big sign of diabetes
Skalara
Right? I used to love cola and can't drink it now. But I will drink 3 bottles of water in one sitting.
TheRealJimBosey
Had Covid but barely any symptoms. I am very fortunate and I hope you make a speedy recover!y!
shibbytothelibby
Same here. Got a cold a couple of months after and that was much worse. Fortunate indeed.
ijiwaru5150
Glad it wasn't worse for you OP. Wishing you a complete recovery.
thatsmyfetish69
I lost 20lbs in 1 week. Don’t worry, I put 40 back on when I learned to make pizza from scratch
chickindog
Let us know how that works out in the long run.
doubletrouble6
I lost 20 lbs for H1N1 in 2009. NOT FUN
FelixTheAnimator
That one gave me a miscarriage I almost bled to death from... Was anemic the whole year after.
doubletrouble6
Jfc you win
TableDemon
So happy I am fortunate to have received my 2nd dose of Pfizer vaccine last week. 95% Immune! Get better!

Can I offer you some tea in this trying time?

Does it come with sugar and rum?

Well it’s the middle of COVID so.. duh

I dropped 5, my partner 10. We could only manage to eat popsicles, bananas, water, and occasionally hot dogs. Lots of phallic foods there.
Daxton
@OP What about OJ??? I'd be downing that shit
adamSparkleFurlong
7 weeks in, and basically the same
adamSparkleFurlong
Scrap that it's 15 pounds now
BanderasForScale
I got it on New Years from someone at work. Had symptoms for 3 days. It was the worst I’ve ever felt in my life lol glad you’re good op!
bigheeb76
It’s nothing to mess around with.
PersonalSleezus
I’m there right now. If I lose ten pounds I’ll probably wind up hospitalized.
Arcygenical
Hey on the bright side, you might end up hospitalized anyways!
PersonalSleezus
Baughr
Waiting to get tested for covid right now actually. I might have had it before there was testing back in march but it was pretty awful that/
Baughr
Time(terrible sore throat, felt like shit) this time feels like a flu or cold, no sore throat or anything. But better safe than sorry.
HillOfBeans
Good luck, I hope it skips you (again?)... The symptoms you have now will likely be different every day for the next few weeks if you do. 1/
HillOfBeans
So don't assume anything and pay attention to your body. It really affects everyone differently. Cheers 2/2
brokenheartboozebullets
My symptoms started Sunday, it's Thursday night now. I've eaten a cup of rice this week, and Gatorade. Just no desire for food at all.
leovinitoano
Eating was so hard with covid the textures of food I normally loved without tasting it messed me up.
dxdifr
Just tested positive today
penguincarnage
Was just released from COVID jail today. I was really fortunate with a mild case. Drink electrolytes like your life depends on it.
Guerrerense
Don’t get scared! You’re symptoms will be manageable. Just listen to your body and you should be in the clear
youknowwhatiamsaying
Same
EwgB
I had something similar three years ago. Sick for over two weeks, lost 5 kg (about 10 pounds). Had to buy new pants.
unavailableyourcallcantgothruasdialed
My 1st thought was oh yeah bc the liquid poops.. then I remembered oh yea weight loss.. smaller size
EwgB
Oh no, no liquid poops. No poops at all. I was hardly eating anything for over a week, and then I got blocked up like you wouldn't believe..
EwgB
... After I got a little better and started eating again, my first poop was one of the worst I ever had. ...
EwgB
... I spent like half an hour pushing out what felt like a brick.
unavailableyourcallcantgothruasdialed
Oof. F for your butt. Also I'm glad you're recovering!!
Wrextasy
I lost weight, then gained a ton back because I wasn’t working out...
yhellothargoodsir
Keep the water thing up, even a few tsp of sugar in coffee will taste like pure sugar from here on out.
Guerrerense
My dad also had it and he used to drink coffee daily and now he says that it doesn’t sit well with either
Arcygenical
Damn I couldn't imagine "a few tsp" blegh
CheshirexKitten
Im about a week into Covid...just lost my sense of smell in the last day or so... I'm scared.
MissGrangerIfYoureNasty
My senses warped at about the one week mark too, but I didn't get any sicker. And they came back <3
Guerrerense
No don’t be scared. If you’re not huffing and puffing for air you should be ok. I had shortness of breath but it passed
CheshirexKitten
I have to breathe through my mouth sometimes to get enough air. Trying to tell myself it's just because of bad congestion.
sandpirate
Drinking allot of water helps. I'm a week in right now, drinking tons of water and I always have a thermos of hot orange tea
CheshirexKitten
Orange tea sounds really good right now...what kind do you get?
sandpirate
Its twinnings mandarin orange honey tea. Orange is supposed to help with respiratory problems
sittinginquiet
Been shaking for some reason since covid
MissGrangerIfYoureNasty
Viruses can really fuck with your nervous system. Please see somebody if you can <3
ianb93
You should talk to your doctor.
sittinginquiet
It’s not super noticeable but if it persists..fa sho
SrgtMuffin
I mean that can be a lot of things that are no good. My panicked mind always jumps to nerve damage or neurological damage.
HeyOP
1) Are you just put off by drinking anything but water, or are you more thirsty than you were? Now that you're drinking only water,
rdbcruzer
I drank herbal tea. Made it all bearable
HeyOP
2) is your piss clear?
theangryjanitor
I'd like to ask about your pooping. Has it been good?
[deleted]
[deleted]
theangryjanitor
The virus or my kidneys?
HeyOP
If your kidneys are blowing out anuses that'd be of medical interest I'd think. Might get you some money and free medical care if you look.
Arcygenical
Your balls still feel okay?
BananaForScaIe
His balls feel juuuuust fine
gunnsgalore
Turn your head and cough
Guerrerense
Yea my pee is clear. I tried drinking a Pepsi the other day and it didn’t sit well with me.
morbida
If your pee is clear, cheer.
latinomartino
I used to have that. Gave up soda for a while. Wish I had never picked it back up again.
CaldariBob
Have you mentioned this to your doctor yet? There are a lot of really wierd long-term symptoms, even after you recover.
gurlsnuggler
Get blood work. Might be your body saying something.
mufasa1028
Or taste buds aren't picking any taste up so it probably doesn't taste good
gurlsnuggler
I agree. That’s the most likely. If it’s available, blood test will set his mind at ease.
dangermess
Just run with this.Soda is awful for your health. But first make sure you engrain the bad taste into your memory to combat future temptation
Bystandr
Its a symptom of damage to your GI tract. Pay attention to any overt pain, heartburn, bleeding, or hernia symptoms. Be friendly to your
Bystandr
tummy for a while. COVID does a lot of collateral damage to your insides with some people.
AlwaysTiredLiliVonSchtupp
Same thing happened to me. Had it in March and my taste is still off. Went from 12pk Mtn Dew/day to 1. I had to buy "diet" cran-grape juice~
AlwaysTiredLiliVonSchtupp
The other day. Reg. didn't taste right. I stick to water. Some flavored, mostly kinds with caffeine. I lost my appetite too. So strange.
FelixTheAnimator
Ditto. Also March. Doc says my urine tests are fine but dang am I peeing a lot.
asylum80
If you're gonna be drinking anything water is the way to go. You might want to try some tea.
HeyOP
Not especially thirsty though, I take it, cool. Congrats on the silver lining I guess man.
rocktimeisgo
I’m guessing after 3 weeks of mostly drinking water, his body just craves water instead of soda.
Guerrerense
Oh no. I’m not thirsty for water but instead of a coke, I’m reaching for water to eat my meals with. Still feels odd
dongsamongus2000
sounds like when i had shingles, i didn't want to eat, and only wanted water to drink. Pain was excruciating.
dannishadow
Shingles didn't affect my appetite, but it made it real difficult to sleep. Between the pain and the lack of sleep, I was beyond cranky.
CatJumper
For those who never want to experience the potential pain and misery of shingles, there is a vaccine. Get it.
heavymetalmechanic
I agree. I had an outbreak on my face/scalp when I was 19. Sensation was like the worst sunburn possible, multiplied x3, and itchy, and
heavymetalmechanic
The nerve damage was permanent. Still feels like a minor burn 15 years later. Gabapentin is the only relief, and not worth the side effects
dongsamongus2000
i still feel the pain occasionally, so i know what you mean.
UsedCarSalesChick
I had a mild case near my eye. They won’t vaccinate you for it until you’re 50. I was 43. It was so painful...
FormerPharmGirlnowBabyNurse
I had it on the left side of my face/head about 15 years ago. Still have issues w/my left eye. Also caused Bell's Palsy on that side.
Mother0fCats
What the fuck really?
heavymetalmechanic
Yup, zero fun, would not recommend.
heavymetalmechanic
Mine was near my eye, had to get a bunch of tests to make sure it was not going to impact my optic nerve/vision. Scary stuff
UsedCarSalesChick
Yes! The doc shipped me off to an optometrist within the hour. Scary and SO PAINFUL! You ok?
heavymetalmechanic
I’m in a better place now. At 19 the experience definitely contributed to my self medicating and substance abuse issues that lasted till2016
