[QUOTE="Miserable, post: 460659, member: 15969"] Just for those who are generally curious about how and where my symptoms started and where they seem to be heading. Alongside all the showers and toilet breaks, I have to disinfect the bathroom everytime I use it which reaaaaaally doesn't help with the breathing issues when you gotta clean everything. I also haven't spoken to anyone in person for the past 4 days which is really shitty for my mental health so I'm feeling very lacklustre at the mo. Meals have to be left outside my door and if I need anything (to save myself from actually using too much energy/breath) I have to text the family to fetch me it.
