“It started with my youngest , runny eyes and runny nose and slowly but surely picked us off one by one…..some of the symptoms didn’t seem like covid , honestly I thought it was allergies and I even got a prescription for bronchitis …it wasn’t until my temp hit 103.7 and my boyfriend hit 104.5 and the body aches laid us out and we couldn’t breathe, that we went to the hospital, after my doctor asked ‘are you sure you don’t have new covid’….the kids all stayed/stay consistently between 99-101.5….our symptoms varied/vary individually but the list is extensive.”

Dalle then went on to list some of the symptoms her and her family experienced in the hopes that anyone with the same symptoms “gets tested sooner than we did”.

She wrote: “Runny nose, runny eyes, intense and very frequent sneezing (like 10 times in a row) coughing up green mucus, TONS of mucus , congestion, severe body aches – in the knees , legs , glutes , lower back and for some all over, penetrating headaches , weird scooped out brain buzzing, sore throats , nausea , stomach aches , vomiting , extreme thirst , dry mouth , everyone has very dry cracked lips , fatigue – which my daughter still has even though she’s further along , fevers and also below temp and sometimes didn’t register on the thermometer, wet cough , dry cough , coughing attacks.”

Dalle did not mention whether she or any of her family had been vaccinated.
