You've been able to do in a week what I haven't been able to do in a year!

I did the same thing. Down about 15 lbs. I hope to be able to maintain good eating habits I acquired (small portions, chewing properly, and eating slowly) so I can reach my target weight which I haven't seen in years.
I've been waiting over 5 years with bated breath for someone to say that!

Indeed. But as long as I can maintain my current eating habits, I think I'll be OK. Even with regained appetite, I am eating a lot less than I was used to.

Maybe we should have a separate thread. Would be useful.

Welcome to COVID-19
from CDC, no mention of bad headache.

Watch for symptoms

Reported illnesses have ranged from mild symptoms to severe illness and death for confirmed coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) cases.

These symptoms may appear 2-14 days after exposure (based on the incubation period of MERS-CoV viruses).

    Fever
    Cough
    Shortness of breath

CDC also doesnt mention anything about people with their heads in the sand. Carry on...

From numerous people who i have spoken to, and tested positive, a bad headache is definitely one of the symptoms. Remember that until a few days ago, losing sense of smell and taste, wasn’t listed as one of the symptoms either.

No. I find it to be a later sign, not early.
yeah but it's a start :)

Not tested, but had high fever, and now lost sense of smell after about 72 hours of symptoms. The first 36 hours I had a blinding headache. Couldn't put on my glasses, and couldn't even touch my head to my pillow. BH since then, it's been very mild.

My father is waiting almost a week and didn't hear back yet.

So 11 days later to get a positive result

At the present moment, terrible aches, sleeping all day, and some other symptoms.
