Symptom narrative

Fatigue, then laid down and experienced constant sharp muscle twitching in legs and back. Leg muscles hurt so bad it felt like I had 2 broken legs and soon I couldn't walk. Worst headache I've ever experienced, especially in my eye sockets. Unable to eat, tried a spoonful of applesauce and vomited. Chills, and sweating alternating for 36 hours. Extreme thirst, and thankfully I keep water by the bed. I was told I could have flu symptoms but this was worse than COVID. Providers need to warn patients that it's possible a minimum of 24 hours of recuperation my be necessary. I only survived with the help of Tizanadine.
