Waking up completely sore all over made me wonder if someone switched my mattress to a bed of nails overnight. A little dehydrated and light-headed with a banging headache.
04:18
A lot lower than previous nights!
Heart rate: 76bpm

The toothpaste had no taste this morning, in fact, you’d think you are brushing with nothing.
Upping the ante, time to bring out some more flavours for breakfast to see where those taste buds have run off to, a heavily peppered omelette, oaked smoked Scottish salmon with a strong, double teabag of Teapig’s peppermint tea (those who drink Teapig will already know how strong in flavour one teabag is, this is a first for me trying two). The result… everything was tasteless. I should have already known when I couldn’t smell anything.

An uneventful remote working morning but hunger strikes. Only thing of note is the on-going banging headache, light-headedness and joint pains.
13:22
Nothing to report here.
Heart rate: 74bpm

When one is defiant, one looks for options. For lunch, it’s time to bring out the flavours with a juicy ribeye. My uncle’s ingenuity of picking up some Chinese XO sauce with noodles meant I can combine some very heavy flavouring with a spicy kick. And the amazing result of all this effort? Bland. Oh well, time to order some sawdust to eat!

It’s been a relatively straightforward and quiet afternoon with remote working and I was wondering, whilst it’s all great ranting on about what I’m experiencing with COVID-19, perhaps some extra stats would be more useful for medical professionals.

Blood Pressure with Heart Rate
Nothing to see here!
Temperature: 37.6c
18:32
There’s an odd sense of drowsiness and weakness this evening, feeling a little too warm up top but with chills from shoulder down.
On another note, hunger seems to have disappeared as I considered making dinner at 18:30, whether this is an impact from the complete loss of smell and taste is uncertain at this point.
18:45
Temperature has risen slightly, I’ve seen that temperature before at a similar time…
A new thing to note, rather pale hands and feet.
Tiredness strikes, time for a swig of water and then a kip!
23:10
An evening of broken sleep, is it me or is it getting hot tonight?
