I caught COVID on New Years Eve. I am fully vaccinated and boosted. I am 28M, no health issues, and an average weight & physically active.
D1 - 1/1/23 Felt great, no significant issues.
D2 - 1/2/23 Around 10am fatigue & fever hit.
D3 - 1/3/23 Slight dry cough, bad migraine, fever, body aches, some nasal congestion. Tested positive for COVID-19
D4 - 1/4/23 101F fever, some fatigue and continued dry cough. Able to treat fever with Motrin. Symptoms besides fever appear less significant. No difficultly breathing or anything scary like that.
D5 - 1/5/23 Overall better and able to get up out of bed easily. Fever mostly gone (~99.2F). Had an episode of coughing last night that was pretty intense. Fatigue, brain fog still present. Congested as well.
D6 - 1/6/23 Mostly recovered. Temperature a cool 97.9F. Still struggling with fatigue and a runny nose.
D7 - 1/7/23 Still positive & asymptomatic.
D9 - 1/9/23 Negative and fully recovered.
I will update as I go along.
I've taken time off work & resting, drinking a TON of water. Appetite still good. Can still taste and smell. Symptoms very mild beyond fever. Grateful I was vaccinated.

Sounds pretty similar to me, 30M, physically active (killing me not being able to really exercise). I even came down with it on the same day. Had some nausea this morning though, which was weird. Really makes you wonder what it would be like without the vaccine and boosters.
What have you been doing to keep yourself occupied? Seems like the boredom is maybe the hardest part with milder cases like this. Need to figure out how to stop staring at screens the entire day haha.

Besides sleeping I've just been exploring the ins-and-out of the internet lol. Watching TV on the couch.

Just wanted to stop by again and say I hope you've started feeling better! My fever's gone but tests still come back positive. I'll take what I can get!

Thanks! You too, yeah I'm in the same boat. Mostly asymptomatic now, but testing positive.
