I have been ill since 2nd January.. I thought flu at first . Now I'm wounder covid. I guess they are similar in some ways.

Me and the children have all had it . The kids are in the mend. They are ok but not right
I should think they will be 100%after the weekend .

I'm still ill though not as bad as the start. I'm not sleeping as much as I was . I start to feel a bit better then I go down hill again .

My ear is completely blocked i think due to mucus as its been really bad. I can't do the steam thing because I honestly can't cope with being to hot not even for a few mins.

My whole head feels like mash potato and if I cough it feels like my head is bouncing

My brain is not telling me what to type so o have litterly typed shit .

Just had enough now 😭

You have my sympathies.

We've had this since Boxing Day. After a week we tested positive for Covid.

I am STILL testing positive for Covid.

Two of us have nearly been admitted to hospital with it and are both on antibiotics as we have infections now. I was only recently vaccinated in December! Was due to be going on holiday...cancelled.

So fed up.

Full of mucus. Can't hear as ears are blocked. Keep fainting. Ugh.

I'm finding mornings worse, and surprised everyday when I wake up and I feel worse than I did the night before.

I still have a fever. How do I still have a fucking fever? I think I must be improving slightly because about a week ago I was attempting to watch Virgin River to cheer myself up and was both watching it and believing I was also attending the wedding and couldn't find my shoes, whilst in a long corridor surrounded by shoes and panicking I was going to miss my flight to America. That was wild. I was like, "Jack! What are you doing here? Where's the horse and my shoe? How the fuck did I get in this stable?"

Meanwhile my family were watching all of this in real time. It's all been quite trippy. I've had old ladies from church appearing in my lounge and winking at me.

I totally lost my appetite and now all I want to eat is Bombay Mix.

Can you believe it's the TENTH of January? 2025?! I can't. I can barely walk. Or poo.

It can't go on for much longer? Can it? We have to get better eventually...surely?
