It’s Not Covid, So Why Do I Feel So Bad?

The test results confirmed it is not covid, so why do I feel so achy and tired>

My daughter helped me perform a self-test for the Covid-19 antigens yesterday afternoon.

The manufacturer is so on top of things, they have pictured step by step directions in Spanish and English. Or you can scan a QR code, download their app, and it walks you through the test.

Their app even sets a 15-minute timer so you can view the results at the proper time,

Each step provided the caution that a false reading could be presented if this step isn’t followed exactly as directed. For the record, it appeared that my daughter read and understood the directions and performed a valid test.

After 15 minutes there was no sign of covid in the test results,

This leaves me with the flu or a common cold. I am grateful for that, yet I feel drained, and I have a constant tickle in the back of my throat that triggers coughing fits. Some form of this has been circulating within schools and businesses lately.

Even masked, its possible I contracted it from someone on the jet flying back home.

My mind has flashes of thought expecting me to delve into this subject further. But the symptoms keep my activity to a minimum. I will need to address this issue again, perhaps tomorrow.

Right now, I need a nap
