Thank you all for your concern and kind words. Today is day 15. Although I still feel very sick today is first time I feel any improvement at all.
This has been the worst experience of my life. Absolutely nothing like like the flu. I honestly believed there was a good chance I was going to die. Literally dug out the life insurance policies.
Symptoms would rotate. Chills that would have me shaking violently for hours. My wife kept running blankets through the dryer to keep me warm.
Fevers that went to 102-104.
Then the worst cough imaginable. My insides were raw.
All of above kept me awake days on end. Twice went 3-4 days without a bite of food.
Today, miraculously, I woke up feeling sick. Just sick. Like a flu. But the only real symptom today is a piercing headache.
Hopefully this is the beginning of the recovery.
