People who tested positive, how are you feeling?

I took the Antigen tests right through & all negative. My daughter did not catch it off me thankfully & I was not able to isolate from her. She also had a PCR

thanks all

i rang my GP and as my antigen tests wer negative he won't refer me for a PCR... and I'm not of age etc

My local test center was a ghost town. You could literally turn up and book a test in the next half hour while outside. Chatting to the "staff" they said that Covid was over as far as the government was concerned and that all the test centers were shutting down in the next couple of months.

i actually feel just like when I had my 1st vaccine shot.. only worse.. ie: body aches are worse and lasting longer.. guess I'll know either way tomorrow (i hope)

I caught it nearly three weeks ago after having avoided it for more than 2 years. Had a sick cert for 2 weeks, I felt rotten.

I had pretty much every symptom: Started with a sore throat, then body aches, headache, a high fever for 4 days, cough, a runny nose, then my nose was blocked. I lost my smell and taste completely and basically needed a nap after going to the bathroom/kitchen or making a sandwich. I never had the proper flu but I'd imagine that's what it feels like. It was definitely way worse than a cold for me.

My smell and taste have thankfully come back. Tested negative again on the 10th day, still felt exhausted at that stage.

I guess I had nearly no antibodies left after getting the booster at the end of December.

My OH didn't feel too bad, but developed a chest infection and had to go on steroids and antibiotics. Will probably need another round as the cough has come back.

Is it not partially that they are incredibly restrictive about who can get a test? I couldn't.

Plus statistics wise how many people are self registering positive antigens I would say it is a small fraction.

thanks for sharing

just got my results - 21 hr wait - i'm positive gggggrrrrrr

gee sorry to hear that - my symptoms only started on Tue.. just sore back.. then sore all over.. temp.. but feeling much better now but just got news I'm +ve.. after all antigen tests wer -ve.. grr

Had this for new months,eventually the smell goes. Even woke me up and I thought something in the house was on fire.

Also,

Kids positive....... Again.

The fatigue was the worst for me too.

Tested positive on antigen on Monday morning. Fever only on Monday along with a slight headache, then Tuesday I was sneezing a lot and on Wednesday a bit of coughing. Fatigue throughout the 3 days, i partly blame the blocked nose and that i wasn't getting good sleep. I tried to work through it but were only lasting a few hours each day.

A bit better today, just coughing every now and again, though still tested positive. But I reckon that I'm already in the recovery process.

I felt like I had a weird one, it had the opposite effect on me I had loads of energy and no fatigue. I would love a nap if I was at home and have a lie down if i could. When I had covid I tried to have a nap couldn't sleep, I would be falling asleep late but waking up early.

If i didn't have a pcr test I would have doubted the antigen test. Every morning I wake up thinking am I gonna feel like how my family members were feeling but no. A normal cold would knock me for six.

@hopgirl

loads of energy? like, more than usual?

different for sure..

i've been fine since Thurs around 3pm..

went for walks - thought id be wrecked after em but no..

enjoying the silver linings.. meals being brought to my bedroom door.. watching movies/tv, reading, talking on phone..

not bad weather for it as its lashing - twud be hard to isolate when well if the sun was out

Yay or nay for risking going to a concert tomorrow ?

Feel up to it but I'd be technically breaking the law

If i went

Could I be sacked from my job even though I'm technically on covid leave ?
