A neighbour a few doors down passed away from Covid yesterday, massive stroke brought on by Covid it seems, he was only in his late 50's I think, tragic, leaves a wife and kids behind. RIP

My brother tested positive.
He keeps ringing me saying he is dying.
I had the flu about 10 years ago.
I couldnt even pick up a phone to ring anyone, never mind type

. I remember looking at the remote control for an hour before I actually got the enrgy to pick it up. It was 3 feet away from me

Im not convinced hes dying if he has the enrgy to call me about it

Bloodshot eyes, no energy for two weeks, sleeping for 14 hours,legs were like jelly, few aches and pains, was well enough to continue working from home, one day my breathing wasn't quite right but was nothing to worry about.

After two weeks I'm back to normal. I've had flus which were 10 times worse. Fatigue was the worst of it.

Housemate tested positive. I was feeling really tired and had a tight chest for a few days, now I'm completely convinced I have it. I don't have any loss of smell or taste though so fingers crossed. Hopefully, will get a test sorted soon.

Yes we all have high hopes to suffer from a bad bout of illness soon, my dream :rolleyes:

My cousin tested positive a few days ago , she's a nurse and 20 years old, absolutely no symptoms whatsoever.
Happy now Hector ?

I was going to thank this post but decided against it for fear of triggering Hector !

Morbid.... the thread title asks a question, some have answered....

Nobody looking for "thanks" to be honest. People literally sharing their experiences for others who maybe don't have it or against others that do. I couldn't give two ****s about who thanks a post or not.

Dont be such a dose

I think people thanking those posts are a simple way of wishing that person well and thanking them for sharing the story of their covid illness. I would not see more in it than that.

Tested negative Wednesday morning BUT back in February spent a week in hospital from "pneumonia"
Februarys bout of pneumonia was from an unknown source no idea how or where. Couldn't breathe all my breath was from what i would say was the bottom of neck to what felt like an inch or two into the chest cavity. At the time covid had only broken out in the main news arenas so was assured not that but couldn't breath, was on air 24/7, little trolley of air for toilet trips, heart was checked, MRIs, Dye injected to try pinpoint what it was in the lungs oh and also blood oxygen down in the 86-92 range for 4 days ! I was 41 at the time and a smoker albeit not a heavy smoker (not smoked since) queried since if id been tested for covid but told nope wasn't that was pneumonia. Anyways suppose the mind is now more thinking was it Covid and last weeks bout was perhaps just my body fighting ot off as id already had it or was last weeks bout an actual head cold / flu.

No

You either caught it and overcame it,

Are chronically infected

or it's a different strain

The only thing you can catch more than once and actually clear is a bacteria of some variety or another

Absolutely know a young woman who has tested positive 5 months apart with negative tests in between. She works in a nursing home.
She had very little symptoms the first time, but the second time she was quite sick for six weeks or so.

Did you do anything on Thursday when you felt better? I heard that you can feel better, go off and do something like heavy housework and then it will set you back. So would love to know if you done anything while you felt better for the day?

Looking back, because I slept for so long the day before I was up early (6.30am, I l work an evening shift in a factory thats essential so that time I would never be used to getting up) and did some house work. Absolutely nothing strenuous though to my mind. Washed a few dishes, swept the floors.

Maybe I had the flu last year then, I'm not sure.

Anyway, I'm on day four now and I have sore muscles, lost my taste and I am very fatigued. Besides that I am okay overall thankfully.

Sorry to hear it.. best of luck for all!!

I have lost my sense of smell today, but can still taste. It is really weird, tried sniffing a bottle of whiskey earlier, and a jar of mustard and literally can smell nothing.

All hit me Tuesday morning around 3 a.m. fever, hot and cold shakes, headaches and massive aches and pains on the body. Got tested the Tuesday evening in which still had the fever, aches and pains but the tiredness hit me hard, I could not keep my eyes open for more than 10mins. Came back positive Wednesday.

Starting feeling a lot better Thursday morning, lost all the symptoms I had and was grand for the day.

Friday woke with a rash and lost my sense of smell and taste.

Saturday and today still have the rash and no taste/smell but been waking up fluey and congested each day but physically feel fine comparing to what I had the start.

Dont know what's next as I've been hit left and right from different symptoms at different times.

Brother in law has it and only his sense of smell is gone and he was told positive the same day as me.

Edit: also had a bad dose of diarrhea on the Friday all day.

Oddly for me vinegar smells like acetone or some really strong chemical

Would you be able to tell if something is hot ( Chilli pepper wise)?

For me not at all, it's like everything is just bland. It's hard to explain but its something I won't take for granted.

Say something that repulsed you in taste before, you could easily eat it now if you didn't see it. Everything just tastes of nothing.

I lost smell and taste on Day 6. Still gone now on Day 10, but otherwise feeling a lot better.

From what I'm reading the smell and taste may not come back for a couple of weeks. Fingers crossed! It's a very strange thing.

It's a very very strange feeling loosing your sense of taste. As someone who was a chef it's something I would never of considered but wow it's a strange feeling.

My OH has no sense of smell (born with it) and I can now understand how she feels. It's not nice

I thought I had it in February of last year.

Yesterday our household tested positive and we have the exact same symptoms now as February of last year.

A friend had it in march, convinced had it again in December. Exact same symptoms. Of course could be something else. Fact is we aren't testing for reinfection so we can say it's not an issue.

I don't believe there is evidence supporting your claim. There have been large numbers of people reinfected with COVID around the world.

There have been twenty something verified cases of reinfection. Out of 90 million + cases worldwide. Hardly large numbers.

Around 10% of people don't make the antibodies after infection so this isn't true.

Well that makes them chronically infected then
