That evening my body went through periods of chills, and the next morning I woke up with a stiff body and painful joints. It took a lot of energy to check the phone and reschedule my appointments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By Thursday, the fever is gone and coughing is under control, but the body felt week. Small exertions created a spell of dizziness. There were also random periods of cold sweats during the day. Thursday was also the day when I last took anything for the &#8220;flu&#8221;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Others in the family started showing symptoms on Wednesday and Thursday. My wife tested herself for Covid over the weekend and showed positive. I tested myself yesterday (1 week after first sign of symptoms), and also showed positive. My sons did the same self-test with the same positive results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After three years of avoiding Covid, our family finally caught it, inescapable. I am glad that the symptoms, in my opinion, are certainly more mild than some past flus that I have experienced. Hopefully we will all be back up and running soon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Subsequent Tests:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignleft size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.lufamily.ca\/kang\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2023\/04\/IMG_7386-490x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2020\" width=\"165\" height=\"345\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.lufamily.ca\/kang\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2023\/04\/IMG_7386-490x1024.jpg 490w, https:\/\/blog.lufamily.ca\/kang\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2023\/04\/IMG_7386-144x300.jpg 144w, https:\/\/blog.lufamily.ca\/kang\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2023\/04\/IMG_7386-768x1605.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.lufamily.ca\/kang\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2023\/04\/IMG_7386-735x1536.jpg 735w, https:\/\/blog.lufamily.ca\/kang\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2023\/04\/IMG_7386-980x2048.jpg 980w, https:\/\/blog.lufamily.ca\/kang\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2023\/04\/IMG_7386-scaled.jpg 1225w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 165px) 85vw, 165px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">2023-04-26<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignleft size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.lufamily.ca\/kang\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2023\/04\/IMG_7397-455x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2023\" width=\"165\" height=\"345\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">2023-04-28<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>Still positive 9 days from first symptoms.
