Test Results = Negative

Good news as my test results came back negative yesterday.  I’m still really sick, and they did warn me about false negatives, so we’ll see how long this takes to get over.

Why blog about this?  I could just keep it all private, but…

• I work in health & fitness, so I believe I have a responsibility to talk about health issues.
• Someone else might be going through a similar experience, read this blog, then decide to go get tested for COVID, and that might save lives.
• The person reading this blog might have some stubborn habits/beliefs like I used to have (ignoring symptoms, toughing it out, blanket mistrust of doctors, etc.) and reading this might help them realize the importance of looking into things.

At the end of the day, my goal is to save the world one healthy lifestyle at a time.  The imperative is for individuals to both survive and thrive, to grow, improve, and to nurture others.  Can’t do that if you’re sick and ignoring it, or if you’re unwilling to seek help when faced with a problem you do not understand and do not have the solutions for.

So, if you’re sick, go see the doctor!  Knowing something is better than knowing nothing at all.
