So who has covid? Nov 2021

How come you got a 2nd pcr?

Thank you I’d appreciate that and good luck at the drs

My wife suggested we do antigens as she wasn't feeling great the day after Stephen's Day. I was had no symptoms. Hilariously, my antigen came back positive while hers was negative, so we assumed we both had it and started isolating along with our two young children. We rang the GP the next day who referred us for PCRs as obviously there were no appointments to be found online. Got an appt by text a few days later but it wasn't until yesterday, a full week after we took the antigens. Results just back and we're both positive.

I had a couple of days minor cold symptoms and 2 days where my sense of taste and smell disappeared. I've been completely symptom free for about 3 days now though, not even a sniffle. Wife's main symptoms were mild cold, cough, but very fatigued and she spent one day almost entirely in bed. She''s a good bit better now but still pretty tired. We both were double vaxxed but not boosted. Glad I managed to get the PCR test so I can get the recovery cert at least.

My freedom day today, coughing and sore throat lasted a few days. I was out for a run earlier all good.

I have the ear problem too. Left side only. Almost feels like that sort of loss you get when there's water trapped in it - I can still hear but it's just a bit muffled. Only got positive result on Friday so I'm just going to wait and see what happens with time.

This happened to me.

For 2 weeks.

Ringing in ear when I moved face certain way.

Mostly gone now.

I had a lot of signs of covid and got a positive antigen. I got a negative on PCR but still isolated. The other two people in my household have since tested positive on PCRs. I went for a second PCR yesterday 9 days after my first PCR. I am still sick.

I am not dying or anything and I am presuming I will just get better before getting worse. Taking Paracetamol and Liquids. Are people going to their GPS for treatment?

My nose and throat was so dry there was probably nothing to go on the swab. Seriously.

Tried last night and this morning to book a PCR. No luck so far

Hi Heckler,

I tested positive on Sun tried numerous times Sun / Mon to book PCR appt online appointments even showed once I clicked they would show gone, I booked PCR through GP yesterday morning got a text in the afternoon appointment for Sat

Was sure I had it as my partner tested positive for it and she didn't self isolate around either my 4.5 year old or myself. Plus I had a whopper cough at night with lots of phlegm, a very blocked nose, a sore back and general tiredness. Just got the result today and amazingly no, it's not positive.

There’s a lot of other viruses going around at the moment. In the past month or so I’ve had all of the symptoms of Covid twice; sore throat, cough, blocked nose (and ears), loss of smell/taste. Three negative PCRs over the space of several weeks, negative antigens. I’d have doubted the PCR result if it was only me, but everyone in the house has been negative as well.

Sure it worked for Eamon Ryan :)

How long were you waiting on your result?

So, pcr done this eve...however I'm almost fully better now... im expecting a negative but hoping for positive :)
