3. i believe I was infected 2 weeks ago today

Oct 2020

tested a week ago, reported to me as positive on Wednesday.

mild case... headaches, fatigue, little sore throat, little cough, short of breath. Blood O2 dipped to 92 about 3 to 4 days after infection, no fever, some body aches.

Now, 2 weeks later, I feel OK. runny nose a little bit (which is a weird one, feels like I have a bloody nose but it isn't blood). Blood O2 is now 95, normal is maybe 96 / 97 for me. no fever, no cough, no headaches... but fatigue... extreme fatigue. Like I get up a normal time but fall asleep after bathroom and eating something, wake up around 11am... putter around, eat lunch... nap time... wake up again... maybe do a little work, maybe eat dinner... and fall asleep again by 11pm and sleep till 9am.

Normally I sleep only 7 hours a day.

I am older (63) and have type 2 diabetes and a heart condition (WPW).

I will get tested every 2 weeks until negative... and then isolate for another week or so after that.

I hope the fatigue goes away.
