This was me on April 2nd after being sick for 2 weeks. I had never been this kind of sick. Everything hurt. Loss of smell. It felt like an elephant was sitting on my chest. I couldn't breathe. I couldn't keep food in me. I lost 9 pounds in 2 weeks. I was confused. Low grade fever. And the headaches were horrible. I basically had every Covid symptom. At the very end of march I took two covid19 tests and both were negative. I also took a covid antibody test (the finger prick test) after I was feeling a bit better. NEGATIVE. After living the last 4 months with lingering symptoms like, vertigo, stomach abnormalities, irregular periods, heart palpitations, shortness of breath, zero short term memory, and general malaise, I went and got an antibody test from a blood draw (not the finger prick) from a lab. I am POSITIVE for covid antibodies. I had Covid19. I just want you to be aware that our testing system is flawed and we don't know the real numbers. I also want you to know, this illness is not a hoax. I thought I was dying. It felt like I was dying. I will be donating my plasma with hopes that I might save a life. Please take care of yourselves. Please wash your hands and wear a mask and social distance. I don't want anyone to feel the way I felt. Be well. I love you all (well, maybe not the trolls. Just the kind people.) ❤️

Still, all of the tests she took came back negative. With symptoms continuing to decay her life, she wanted to be tested for antibodies, which could indicate her body was battling the coronavirus. After a first test, still negative, and several weeks of symptoms (dizziness, stomach pain, irregular periods, heart palpitations, shortness of breath, no short-term memory), she insisted on being tested again and finally having a true diagnosis: she had indeed been sick with the coronavirus!
Back on my feet
Now cured, Alyssa Milano warns her subscribers: “I want you to understand that our test system has flaws and that we do not know the real figures. And I want you to understand that this disease is not a hoax. I thought I was going to die. I felt dying. I will now donate my plasma in the hope of being able to save lives, ”she captioned a photo where we can see her with an oxygen mask, obviously exhausted.
Fans of the star can therefore be reassured by saying that she is out of business today, and that's good, since she has also announced that she would return in one of her most popular roles. : that of Samantha Micelli, for a sequel to the cult series Madame est Servie .
