Title: Weekly Report #09 - Strong Yang Turns Weak Yang Date: 2023-05-28 Author: Your Name Tags: Weekly After enduring a week, I have finally overcome the most difficult moments of COVID-19. It has been extremely painful, and I really don't want to experience it again. On Monday, my fever subsided a bit, so I went to the hospital where the doctor prescribed some medicine, which tasted terrible. I felt nauseous after just three sips and continued to feel this way for two days without any improvement. In the morning, I woke up with some discomfort in my heart, thinking it was due to sleeping in an awkward position, but it persisted throughout the day, causing pain when using my left hand or applying force. On Tuesday, the chest pain did not subside, so I went to another hospital to have my heart checked. The doctor was concerned about acute conditions like a heart attack or myocarditis, but fortunately, the tests showed that my cardiac enzymes were fine. However, the electrocardiogram showed ST-T changes, indicating inadequate blood supply to the heart, possibly due to COVID-19. The doctor advised me to rest and my parents came to Beijing to take care of me. Fortunately, with my parents' care, I didn't have to worry much about meals these past few days. However, after testing positive, my sense of taste became heightened, particularly for salty flavors. Even dishes with normal taste seemed too salty to swallow, so we rarely added salt to our cooking. I don't know when exactly, but I also lost my sense of smell and still cannot detect any odors, whether it's the scent of a fragrance or the smell of cat litter. Since testing positive, I have been feeling dazed and lacking energy every day. I just want to sleep all the time and can average about 10 hours of sleep per day, yet I still feel lethargic

After enduring a week, I finally made it through the most difficult moment of COVID-19. It was so painful, I really don't want to experience it again.

On Monday, the fever subsided a bit, so I went to the hospital. The doctor treated it as a common cold and prescribed some medicine. It tasted really awful, to the extent that I vomited after three sips. I drank it for two days but it didn't have any effect, which was really frustrating. When I woke up in the morning, my heart felt uncomfortable. I thought it was because of sleeping in a bad position, so I didn't pay much attention to it. However, the discomfort persisted until the evening, and my left hand would hurt when exerting force.
On Tuesday, the pain in my heart didn't ease, so I went to another hospital to have my heart checked. The doctor was concerned that it could be a heart attack or myocarditis, but fortunately, the test results showed that my cardiac enzymes were fine. However, there was an issue with the electrocardiogram, showing ST-T changes, indicating insufficient blood supply to the heart. Since I still tested positive for COVID-19, it could be caused by the virus. I need to take it slow and rest. My parents also came to Beijing to take care of me.
Fortunately, with the care of my parents, I didn't have to worry too much about meals these days. However, after testing positive, my sense of taste became heightened. I became more sensitive to the salty taste of food, making it difficult for me to swallow dishes that would normally taste normal. We hardly add salt when cooking at home. I don't know when exactly I lost my sense of smell, but even now, I still can't smell anything, whether it's the scent of aromatherapy or the smell of cat litter.
After testing positive, every day feels hazy and I can't muster any energy. I just want to sleep all the time. On average, I sleep for 10 hours a day, but even so, I still feel lethargic. The doctor said I need to rest and recover slowly, so I'll just take it slow.

Summary:
COVID-19, please go away soon. I really can't bear it anymore.
