Fluids (but not rye) & rest. Best wishes for a quick recovery!

And when you think you're better, give it another couple days otherwise the symptoms might relapse.

All good advice. So far so good. The 5 shots seem to be doing their job. Damn I want rye.

Ricola or nothing for me now.

Best of luck for a quick recovery man. Stay rested.

Congrats on not getting it until now! What is your primary annoying symptom? When I got it I had the worst sore throat I've ever had. Could not find relief and the pain would wake me up several times a night. Aside from that one horrible symptom though I don't recall any other symptoms!

Also what @Armaegis said. Apparently it can make you more prone to long-covid if you try and come back too early which has apparently hurt a lot of high-level athletes.

Totally, point taken. Right now, my principal symptoms are severe fatigue and very very runny sinuses. Pretty light in comparison to many of my friends, a couple of whom were pretty fucked up by it. Rest, fluids, no Rye. Count myself lucky so far.

I'm a week in now and finally feel like myself again. It was seemingly not worse than memories of bad flus, but weirder - high heart rate, very disrupted sleep, weird fatigue. Glad to be on the other side of it. Thanks for the advice and well wishes, gents.
