Dr's had no idea what to tell me I had. Just said "drink fluids and rest." I had easily my sickest moments of my life over that week. Really makes you wonder. By the end of the week I was feeling better though.
I work in a very face to face with many people job so I could have picked it up there more than likely. I have considered getting the antibody test but I keep reading how they may not be accurate anyway.

Yeah I know, I hope I didn't waste my $65 getting the antibody test. My symptom list sounds exactly like yours, especially that horrible dry cough. Man, sometimes I was coughing so hard I thought I was going to throw up, and I've never had a cough like that. I also had an intense lack of appetite, and while I wasn't acutely aware of it, my sense of taste and smell was severely dull. My kids went to the doctor and got negative flu and strep tests, and they couldn't find anything wrong with them. They just gave them medicine, they each missed about a week of school, and eventually they came out of it. So I'm wondering if we all had it. My antibody test results should come early next week, I hope it's accurate.
The fact that I was at that conference and that cases have been linked to it, about a month before we ever heard of social distancing, really makes me wonder.
