People who tested positive, how are you feeling?

Thanks that made me feel better

Already after been told I'll infect 1000s if I go

More energy than normal and a appetite. I would have my dinner and be hungry an hour later not like me at all. The abundance of energy didn't last when i went back to work. I had to go to bed when I got home and it was only a half day 🙈.

I would have loved to have meals brought to me or better be home alone with no child 😀.

When I had it the weather was great so got jobs done that I had put off and went for walks.

Day 7 here and still quite sick, bad headache, cough, sore throat, tiredness. Still positive on the antigens.

Day 3 now and still more like cold symptoms, small cough but energy levels still OK

Not sleeping well even with taking sleeping tablets. I'd fall asleep late but wake up early and not get back to sleep

Tests still showing positive, due to get the HSE ones today or tomorrow

Yeah thankfully

I almost out the door to head up (I'd buy a ticket up there) but declined in the end. Head was flipping 'go or don't go' all day yesterday and dis morning

Due to head to Elton John on Friday in Cork and god willing I'll be going. Noting more I can do really by then regarding isolation by then (synthoms last Thursday/isolation Friday morning)

I'm nearly two weeks from when I think I first had symptoms and while I could always sleep for Ireland at anytime of the day and I had no really bad symptoms I find myself even sleepier than normal. Still have the occasional weird burnt coffee smell in my noise.

I just felt really tired for a couple of days but thought it was because I was after increasing my exercise regime and walling. Then last Thur sore throat and Friday sinus burning and pain. Then by Sun felt fine just a slight cold.

I really wouldn't have thought it was covid going by how ppl describe, it seemed more like allergies.

gee the contrast between different people's symptoms is unreal - this virus really keeps us guessing

when did your symptoms start?

if within 8 days i'd say its a false negative...

antigen test results are not reliable..

I only got a positive result on day 4

your contagious for about 8 days (day 0 - when symptoms start)

I'm on day 5 now, lot better but still a lot of tiredness, slept for 14 hours last night.

In the second full day of Covid. Started coming on Sunday evening with a mild fever. Monday morning got a positive antigen result. Mild flu symptoms throughout the day, mainly fever and a headache. Some but not much coughing. Very slight sore throat.

Much better today (Tuesday). Still a slight headache but fever seems to have broken. I got the two vaccine shots in the first half of last year mainly for the purposes of travel and I think these are providing some protection. Overall I've had much worse with flus over the years.

I will still avoid spreading it around now that I have it as I would with the flu.

Done a HSE one and it was positive (C line full and a really faded line on T) but i am feeling a lot better, hopefully a sign its coming to an end

Question ..... on day 7 or 8 of isolating if doing an antigen test - will the test be negative or still positive ????

Just wondering...... am heading back to work on day 8 either way

I thought once you've no new symptoms and 2 negatives tests within 48hrs you were okay

well started having symptoms on Tue - didn't get a positive antigen test till Fri.. and I had no symptoms by then..
