People who tested positive, how are you feeling?

For the four weeks, I would have been bad enough to stay off work for one week. Week two I was 75%. Week 3 85%. Week 4 90%.

I am prone to approx three chest infections per year. I'd rate this as similar to a bad chest infection with more symptoms e.g. diarrhea was pretty bad and wouldn't usually get that.

Exactly the same here .

Now need a steroidal inhaler after covid . Secondary mild cold one month on after covid .

Tested positive with no symptoms after first variant. Had a hospital operation so I had to be checked. No symptoms and no operation either unfortunately.

Tested positive after 2 vaccinations of Pfizer and 1 horrible Moderna booster. Was the Omicron variant. Felt like **** for a couple of weeks.

Ok now.

Just tested + yesterday. First known catch.

Runny nose, dizzy, phlegm, roof of mouth sore.

Very fatigued all last week, but sleep apnoea developed recently so suspected that.

As this thread has been started again I'll post once more about weird smells since Covid a good few months back. Can't find any other reason for it other than Covid but still getting none existent or altered smells. The smell of burning now comes and goes and its almost like my brain is saying you can smell X but I'm no longer interpreting it as X I going to substitute the smell of burning instead. Then I had nearly a month of poo/disinfectant smells. Any smell in the bathroom would be interpreted as a strong smell of poo and or disinfectant and our bathroom has never smelt of disinfectant. I've said previosly the burning smell had gone but it came back was replaced by the poo/diinfectant smell which might have gone again this week. Who knows what I'll be smelling next?

Nope no sign of and no one in the family with it.

I'm pretty much back to normal now, reckon I picked it up at a party the previous Friday.

Both parents are now positive by symptoms. Bad fatigue in both, a bad cough, some weakness and in the case of one, exasherbation of Parkinsons symptoms. Elevated heartrate suspected in one too.

I hope this doesn't go on for long - having two of them sick at the same time (and absolutely no backup of any sort from anyone else) is not easy.

Ten days after scratchy nose symptoms, still a very definite double-line on the antigen today. Will try again Sunday.

Edit: Still a cough only but slightly more fatigue than two days ago. Seems to be a slight resurgance if anything.

No it doesn't, that's not how these vaccines work.

awe ok was just wondering (on the back of the post I quoted)

Tested positive yesterday. Had been out for a few on Sunday met 4 mates. Put Monday down to a hangover but Tuesday nose running and throat felt itchy/gravelly. Last night every inch of my body aches and pains woke about half 3 chattering with the cold ans near collapsed trying to toilet. Put on a hoodie and trackies back to bed. Barely slept. Eye sockets extremely sore and a banging headache. This is the first time I’ve got it since it landed on these shores. All my mates negative so far. Herself also negative.

How are you feeling now?

Myself and my wife have it fairly mild so far, I've had it since Saturday I think so fourth day here. My two daughters had a very high fever last night and are absolutely fine this morning, my son (also positive) seems to be asymptomatic. All of us were vaccinated and boosted as appropriate. No loss of taste or smell. My wife has a headache and cough, my nose was snot city on Saturday and Sunday but thats all gone now, just a bit of a cough left for me really, the antigen test still gives a very pink line for me as soon as the fluid makes it there so assume i'm very infectious still.

On a positive note one of those door to door electricity salesmen called, i told him we were all isolating while standing back as far as i could from him, he nearly ran away, all thoughts of getting us to change provider forgotten:)

Nausea and dizzy spells gone now just a bit of a cough, antigens still instantly showing positive after eight day of it, annoying. At least the kids are all clear and wife very faint positive so I'd imagine she has a good chance of being clear tomorrow.

Had enough of isolation and it all to be honest, would kill for a few drinks but i doubt that would help recovery..

Tested positive for the first time on Tuesday. 48 YO with 3 jabs. Had head cold symptoms since Saturday but tested negative on Saturday, Monday & Tuesday morning. Did a test on Tuesday afternoon but took a swab from my throat rather than my nose and it flagged positive almost immediately.

Main symptoms so far have been chills, aches/pains, tiredness (like, never been as drained) and coughing. When I'm lying down doing nothing I sometimes think I'm ok, but then get up and realise "...ooooh, no I'm not...."

The chills have been the worst, like someone mentioned above, have been shivering with the apparent cold at times.

All 4 of us in the household got it, and my 78 year old father had barely a symptom and is already testing negative. Granted he had his 5th shot in October so probably was reasonably well protected.
