The personal test below was written by a 29-year-old woman living in Brooklyn and recovers Covid-19. She is graciously willing to share his story withEat this, not that!In order to help others, but asked to remain anonymous.

I am confirmedCOVID-19 [Feminine The case in New York, after recovering after spending fourteen days in quarantine.

I had the chance to spend a sweet case and recovering quite quickly in about five days, but the disease has tested my willingness, mental health and physical well-being. Since I started to note the symptoms, I am bunkered by myself in my studio in Brooklyn.Isolation has been difficultBut it's worth knowing that I no longer spread the virus.

When I started to present symptoms, I supposed it was just the flu.

After developing a dry cough one night, I woke up to find that I had an uncomfortable fever, accompanied by bodily pain and rapid changes of my body temperature. These symptoms would not have been contrary to the other Flusi that I had in the past and I assumed that the tightness of my chest was stress of potentially a COVID-19. But I was also equally aware that it was one of theSymptoms of the disease, so I started worrying.

I immediately called my primary care doctor and told them of my concerns. They directed me to an online health portal for a virtual projection and, after telling them my symptoms, I was approved for a test at Nyu Langone Hospital. Within 48 hours after making this first phone call, I led myself in my own car to betested For COVID-19 at the hospital.Curiously, at that moment, I began to feel better ... But 12 hours later, to my apartment, I was informed by a message typed from my primary care doctor that I had tested positive for Covid -19.

Once again, I immediately called my primary care doc, which ordered me to quarantine for 14 days (from the day, I started developing symptoms) and to continue my remedies for The house: taking cold medications, drink plenty of liquids and rest as much as possible.

I was also responsible for monitoring my symptoms to see if they have become worse or if I expanded a shortness of breath. In this case, I should call my doctor for the next steps, but they urged me tonot Take mine physically to the emergency room or urgent care, because it could make me even more sick or put other people at risk of becoming infected.

With typical Covid-19 symptoms, I also noticed a change in my appetite.

As soon as I fell ill, I had a drastic loss of appetite and I even noticed that I had trouble tasting. These symptoms, in particular, have finally finished much longer than others.In the first days, I could not succeed in eating flat bread orSandwiches with peanut butter and jelly-The thought of any other food was sufficient to make a stomach baratosis.

I also barely an energy to cook, that's why I stayed at what was easy to prepare, although I had just stored onCool grocery store To help me cross the coming weeks in my studio.

None of my food-related food symptoms really worried me, because when I was young, my mother would comfort me with a buttered toast andginger soda When I was sick (which was usually all I could go down).

With coronavirus, I have hierarchied by drinking as many liquids as possible, includinghoney tea and drinks full of electrolytes and vitamins (think: Gatorade, Pinialyte and Emergen-C).

Over the next week, I tried to eat more adventurous foods like grilled cheese, macaroni and cheese, andFrozen pizza, but even the pasta did not seem tolerable. I did not even miss something that is so rooted in my daily life: my morning coffee cup. In fact, after fourteen days, I managed only to drink a cup!

Fortunately, during my second week of isolation, I had enough energy to make pasta and chicken, and I found my ability to taste food again - as long as I plan to cook something Soft soon. Nevertheless, I lost ten pounds during these two weeks because of the strange changes of my taste buds and my appetite.

Beirdly, I also still develop a desire for fresh salad or vegetables, which is strange, which is strange, considering trying to eat healthy on a daily basis, especially when you have lunch at the office.

I had the chance to have a sweet case, so my symptoms were not so bad. What fasten me was not to know if I had spread to someone.

The most difficult part for me throughout this trip was not the loss of appetite or taste, fever, cough or body pain. It was anxiety, guilt and worry that inevitably comes with a coronavirus.

I can not wait to let others know that I had contractedCOVID-19 [Feminine for fear they ostracize and be afraid of me (an extrovertworse nightmare). However, once I shared my story on social media, I was greeted with a flood of support and friendly words of friends and family.

If you too treat anxiety and fear that many of us are (no matter if you have a coronavirus, I suggest disabling the news), to disconnect social media and find positive activities who occupy your occupied spirit. Take a safe, walk daily outdoors for a landscape change. And, above all, stay optimistic, because it will not last forever.
