People who tested positive, how are you feeling?

..

For anyone who can remember back about 10-11 weeks I finally lost the weird smoky burning smell I was getting.

Woke up tired yesterday & struggled through a workout. Sore throat & a congested feeling with slight headache started yesterday evening. Negative antigen test but self isolated.

Tired but still struggled to sleep last night...few trips to bathroom & thunder & lightning didn't help😄

Got positive test result this morning but feel better than yesterday..less tired & really now just have sore throat & congested head...little hot & achy but v grateful I appear to be getting off lightly. I'm fully vaxxed & got boosted last Jan.

Logged test result with hse..anyone know how long it takes to receive antigan tests in post?

After four vaccines, got Covid. Asthma flared up, got two doses of steroids and was on the neb every day for about two weeks

Other than that:

• temperature for about a day
• diariah about a week
• cough three - four weeks
• Fatigue for 4 and half weeks
• Nauseous 4 weeks
• Sinuses 1 week
• Shivers - two days
• Bed bound - two days
• Coughing up coloured phlegm one week
• Coughing up uncoloured phlegm three weeks
• Needed one week off work.
• Metal taste in mouth three weeks
• Tested positive for about a week

So worst was first three days, than the next four.

Then the next three was like my body just trying to recover.

Would depend on the severity I think Tim Robins was just trying to be as honest as possible. Half those symptoms I can get any day just with some form of hayfever/allergy. Woke this morning with thick head, blocked noise, cough, puffy eyes, sinus pain and fatigue after a great nights sleep and thats got nothing to do with covid.

I can't take risks with pseudo science. I am asthmatic. If anything it's a reminder to people who may have similar ailments to mind themselves. You might consider getting yourself a peak flow and a nebulizer so when it arrives your prepared for your asthma fairing up.

Your choice what medication you want to take or not but I'd happily get injected regularly if the science says it reduces risk of hospitalisation.

Tested positive this morning for the first time. Started to feel like I was coming down with something all of a sudden around 1am - shivers, skin crawling, headache.

Now I have a headache, tachycardia, chest tightness, dental pain, widespread aches and pains, shivers, temperature is 38, nausea. No cough, sneeze, nasal symptoms, or sore throat - so far. I feel fairly rough now, despite lack of obvious or classic symptoms. Just discovered I have a low White Blood Cell count a couple of weeks ago so not sure where that leaves me either. Let's hope it's short-lived.

Elderly mother lives with me, only one bathroom, so pretty nervous about that more than anything.

Tested positive maybe 4 or 5 weeks ago.

Very fatigued every morning I wake up, irrespective of how much sleep I get. Feels like I haven't slept at all.

And now getting lot of dizzy spells too. Sometimes overnight if I happen to waken, and also when I first get up in the morning.

Not sure if connected to testing positive. I would have had mild dizzy spells before, but the fatigue is definitely since the positive result.

I have tried a few strenuous periods of exercise since too, and definitely don't seem to have the same energy or lung capacity as before.

My 7 days self isolation are over this morning. I am still strongly antigen positive though so I will stay where I am until Monday anyway.

It has been a very strange illness in several ways - thick phlegm built up deep in my lungs without ever having any upper respiratory symptoms; the sickest I've ever felt for a short period then improved like the flick of a light switch. A very weird experience. I have been feeling no symptoms since Thursday evening and thought all was good, but have discovered this morning that I am unable to have a 5 minute conversation without feeling breathless. It's concerning and very strange as I feel I can breathe fine and have no cough, no wheeze.

Another one of us getting it for the first time...

For me its just a standard cold, slightly elevated resting heart rate (+10) and the odd slightly hot/sweaty and cold periods. Either a standard cold or a very very light flu.

Worried about the old parents, obviously, who I live with, but both of them had a third booster a few weeks ago so have plenty of antibodies already in their system and don't need to ramp up production, so should be fine.

do you have epilepsy?

OH has covid - v sore throat so far..

i'm fine so far - but I think i'll more or less isolate anyway.. like, I'll go shopping with a mask but I won't be meeting up with anyone - regardless of what the guidelines say,..

both of us tested positive a few days after our boosters..

I had a scratchy throat and other half has a cough

Feel a bit tired but otherwise fine so far, Exact same thing happened this time last year after shots

Coincidence ?
