Covid experience and anxiety

Hi everyone, I tested positive for Covid on Monday of this week having exhibited symptoms on Sunday but I was not testing positive until the following day. My wife and her sisters went on a vacation to Florida and brought it up with back with them.  I had a sore throat Sunday and Monday and that was about it. I did try paxlovid on Monday night and had to DC Tuesday am due to a horrible, horrible stomach ache and nausea. I also found out that it was contraindicated for many medications including one I was taking (doctor didn’t mention and had to contact about what to do) I was wondering a couple things. Is this usually how it goes for those who have it mild or does it progress further at this point and does anyone here deal with any anxiety and did this make your covid experience worse for you? It has not helped mine at all lol. Thank you for any and all answers. As a side note I am vaccinated and boosted x1 as it we want until recently they made a second booster available for my age group.

The one thing about covid is that everyone is different with it. The people I know that have had it, though, and when I had it, it stayed as bad the whole time as it started. Things didn't change much. Obviously, it depends on your health, etc.

I know that's not what you wanted to hear and it does not help your anxiety much, but the vaccines should help keep it mild.

I had, and still have, some big covid anxiety. I have a parent with cancer undergoing chemo, my own health stuff - living in a pandemic isn't easy. I understand.

Just rest, take care of yourself like you would the flu or something, and isolate. Feel better soon. :)

I guess that is good to hear since it didn’t start bad and I have no symptoms right now. It’s that fear of symptoms coming on in two days or something that makes me anxious. I very much appreciate your response and kindness.
Well, you had symptoms on Sunday, right? It's Thursday now. I can't imagine it will get suddenly worse. :)

Remember that for the vast majority of people, covid causes no real problems other than feeling lousy for a few days. Hang in there. :)
thanks for the suggestion.
Thank you so much for your reply auntiejessi. It helped me : )
I'm glad to have helped, and I hope you're feeling better now. :)
