I 100% agree with you…the Covid infection I had in July 2020 was NO cold. I had the usual symptoms (cough, sore throat, fever, etc.)…but the thing that set every other infection I had ever had apart was the excruciating pain that I had. I had 3/4 babies with no drugs…so I’m no stranger to pain; However, this felt like I had been poisoned…

I had 3/4 babies with no drugs…so I’m no stranger to pain; However, this felt like I had been poisoned…and that every fiber, muscle, joint, bone, nerve, etc. was under attack. It was so bad at one point I wanted my husband to just shoot me and put me out of my misery. This was not the usual body aches that accompany fevers…this pain was unbearable. I did have a 4 day course of IV steroids about a week before becoming ill (due to an MS relapse). I was told the steroids would lower my immune system and perhaps that’s why I experienced what I did. It also took 3-4 weeks to start feeling semi-normal again. I went to the ER twice during that time as I felt so sick, but was sent home and told not to come back unless I couldn’t breathe. Thankfully, I never went back!
