Covid Lungs 40 plus plus plus

[SimpleKindofLife]

New thread for those having longer symptoms of Covid.

@Crayfishforyou

Thanks for the positive update! It’s always good to hear some good news

@Crayfishforyou So pleased to hear that you’re on the mend at last - have been rooting for you!

Day 37 here - have had a week of feeling really quite ok, fatigue aside. Chest tightness/heart pain started up again yesterday though which was frustrating. So bored of this now.

My ELISA antibody test arrived in the post yesterday. Have to take a blood sample tomorrow to send off to the lab - looks like quite a large vial! Will report back when I have the results.

@Monty6 a belated thank you for all the useful info you gave me, which I've just been reading over. I feel like I've got lots of learning to do. I hope you're okay at the moment?

@JackJackIncredible sorry you’re not well again
What am I now day 45 maybe? Today has been just horrible. After such a good day yesterday (no I didn’t overdo it) my head and sinuses are sore, tired rather than fatigued, still got no voice.

@uncomfortablebadger How did you get an antibody test???

I am scared I have just looked at my toes and found this

8 weeks in today

My ELISA antibody test arrived in the post yesterday. Have to take a blood sample tomorrow to send off to the lab - looks like quite a large vial! Will report back when I have the results.

How did you get that? Were you invited on to a study?

Has anyone else developed bruising or sores on their toes late on I am 8 weeks in and trying hard not to painful

*panic

@pinkoneblueone yes I have! I just replied to you on other thread but to keep this thread informed I have a few purple/red patches on my toes/feet - noticed them this week. Take care

@emoojoo thank you so much I took such a panic attack after it you really have reassured me.

HERE you all are!!

For some reason I didn’t realise the other thread had reached 1000 posts and I was wondering where everyone was

So glad to finally find you all via active convos.

I’m 6.5 weeks in and feeling quite breathless and sore tonight. When I was in A&E the other week, the Dr told me to come straight back if my breathing worsened, and it has.

I haven’t really felt anxious through this but I feel anxious now, as my breathing feels laboured. I can’t walk to the next room in the house without being exhausted. The isolating and length of time and complete exhaustion H’s getting to me.

And there’s loads of moths in my bedroom

Oh and I noticed my toes looked purple the other week.

@dandypenguin please tell me you are going to go to A&E now. I think you need to be checked over

Hello @DandyPeguin I'm about the same days as you! Hope you are ok. I've been doing meditations on some calming apps (Calm is my favourite) - have you tried snything like that to settle at night?

This is DandyPeguin under my new name. I was going to use my Peguin one here as you all know me by that, but as I posted in this name by accident I think I’ll just move to this.

I’m debating it. But I can breath. I’m not hyperventilating. It’s just that my chest and back feel so tense.

I would go if it’s the morning but it’s the middle of the night.

I’d either have to leave the kids (eldest a teenager) while DH drove me it ask for an ambulance.

@Dandyish or you could maybe call 111 for a check over on the phone.

I had this lastnight and they said I was too well it turns out I'd made my self anxious watching a scary movie and made my chest hurt. Oddly it went away after coming off the phone from 111 lastnight 😳 I hadn't realised I was anxious at the time though

@Dandyish I do think it may be worth calling if you are worried

Thanks ladies (I'm presuming!)

I'm feeling a bit more relaxed now. I had something stressful happen earlier so I'm wondering if that exacerbated it, but I still have the chest tightness, laboured breathing and also a cough.

I'm going to try and wait it out until morning. I'm not sure I have the emotional energy to go through another 111 call And the doctor at A&E did say to come straight back to them next time, no phoning. They're fairly local and they're a big A&E so I wouldn't feel like I was wasting their time going in, but I would feel like I'd be wasting an ambulance's time.

How are you today @pinkoneblueone?

It sounds quite likely. I hope everything is ok now.

Yesterday I had a headache that wouldn't budge. Now other than tingling and itchy feet I haven't been to sleep yet other than a nap earlier. I was just recovering from my 50 day slump and still wasn't quite right. I have a feeling my panic attack will have set me back again as I was shaking so bad almost threw up got flushed really badly and very dizzy almost didn't make it to the bathroom on time and then had a runny tummy. It was a very severe panic attack.

I've actually noticed a few very small bruises on various limbs now I have counted atleast 3!

Oh pink

I'm finding that I'm physically feeling things very easily with Covid. Any minor irritation or excitement for example.

I do feel quite rough and will be going in to A&E tomorrow. It's always been worse at night.

I'm just so fed up of this.

I hear you. Yesterday I was 8 weeks sick/ 56 days. I am now sat here with itchy hands and feet actually itchy skin all over, not sleeping again. What day are you on?
