It was pretty bad actually. So, I took pain medication because every time I took a deep breath I was in major pain in my chest and back.

So, the next day I used one of the supervised binaxnow covid test I have and used it without online help. It came back negative.

Also, the following day the symptoms greatly decreased and now I'm getting back to normal. I think I had a small bout with pluersy. I've had that before numerous times but didn't put 2&2 together because I was so focused on covid.

But, all I have to say, is no matter what kit you buy just make sure you have some covid at home test kits with you at all times. Will give you immediate results in a time of despair 😅

A pulse oximeter is another good and inexpensive thing to have at home as well, particularly with CVID going around. For most people, if it consistently reads under 95% it's time to seek help.
