KSAT 12 weekend morning producer Gaby Anez appeared on Good Morning San Antonio with anchors Mark Austin and Stephanie Serna to discuss her battle with COVID-19 which lasted for over a month.
Here is a partial edited transcript:
It wasn't as bad as other people, but it definitely hit me hard. I first started feeling very sick, kind of tired, but I thought it was because it was...the end of my work week...I work overnights...So I was like, "I'm tired. I'm just going to go home, take a nap and relax."
So I went home and I started getting chills. I still didn't think any of it. I was like, "OK, maybe it's just still tired. Let's see what the next day is."
The next day came and I started having body aches. Chills were still there. I had a low fever and then cough. And then out of nowhere, all the symptoms came. I lost my sense of taste and smell. I started having stomach issues and my skin, which is weird because I've never heard of this happening, my skin started getting very dry as well.
And then, you know, I started feeling very sick and that lasted for a month. WATCH MORE
