Hi all: 28 Y/o male here. (Day 3 was my birthday LOL)

Some of the things i'm going thru on day 5 (so you don't feel alone if you're experiencing them too).

• 99.7 fever in late morning
• Sore and swollen tongue for days. Swollen uvula that now rests constantly on my tongue (but doesn't bother me.
• 7/10 swallowing pain: struggling to stay hydrated!
• So much thick mucus in mouth. I know; i should drink more water.
• Difficult to talk, though I generally talk a little every day after my oxycodone-acetaminophen kicks in. That stuff takes my pain to a 2, makes it easy to sleep, and provides a warm-fuzzy feeling of "everything is perfect"
• 5pm and i only had a popsicle, though yesterday I had 3 eggs scrambled and a chicken noodle soup.
