COVID Lungs 8wks plus

[baroqueandblue]

Saw the previous thread is almost full. Hope I've not duplicated a new thread! And I might not be the best person to be custodian of this one, so feel free someone else to start a replacement and I'll get this deleted. Otherwise -

Here we all are, at least 56 days plus 😕

Anyone else still feels like the breathing not right? I feel like if that went I’d be fine. Runny tummy and nausea in the morning I can deal with. I’m into day 80 odd now.

@hollieberrie Did you tell your GP about your positive antibody test? GERD is quite commonly caused by a virus. No reason for Covid to be magically different!

I’m on Pantaflux. It’s worked great after just 2 days. However it has caused some constipation so I’m not taking it today. My tablets are very strong so I’ll take a half dose tomorrow. (And some milk of magnesium tonight!)

Magnesia!

@Moodgie That's how I feel... breathing and the slightest niggle in my gut. Can you describe the breathing sensation?

@andslee Difficult to describe, like something in my throat/windpipe - slightly constricted feeling.
You?

@moodgie... yeah. Back of throat and sinuses. Just. Odd. Like your breath is being delayed in the back of your throat. Sinuses are involved, but can't explain how...

@alittleprivacy
After your one word post, I was so tempted to follow on immediately with "Lambada!"

bows head in shame :)

@andslee How many days are you? I’ve had this for a while now, on and off.

@moodgie 70 days...

@andslee I’m in my eighties from the initial sore throat.

@moodgie My start was simply a strange feeling. Like as if I was being pushed into the ground...

I just made it downstairs and in the garden to clap for NHS for the first time. Every other week since it began I've been too ill and only able to clap from my bedroom window. My neighbours were so lovely and encouraging, it was really emotional.

I'm sure there'll be relapses but I'm just so happy right now and enjoying feeling stronger today.

@fedupofbed That is so lovely, so pleased for you.

@fedupofbed
- clapping for you too!

👏 @fedupofbed!!

fedupofbed that is lovely, well done you!

Evening! Well aren't we the lucky ones?!!!!

BBC News - About 7% have had coronavirus, says ONS survey

@andslee I’m wondering if it is some sensitivity or something muscular going into spasm in there. My X-ray lasts week was clear.

@Mytimetogo I think it’s much higher in some places - they estimated 17% of Londoners had antibodies a few weeks ago.

@moodgie
That is exactly what I have been wondering. I am going to try chewing gum tomorrow. Did you say you still have gastric issues? You mentioned runs in the morning. Do you have reflux?

@whatnext2018 I've had the numbness in my nose and lips. I was told by my GP that it was 'overbreathing' (hyperventilation) and because there's a lack of Co2 in the body.

Last week I had a horrible scare with my head/mind. Remember those old TVs that you had to push a button to change the channel? And the button sort of clunked and the picture fizzed in and fizzed out? That's what my forehead felt like for 3 days, especially when I tried to remember something. It literally fizzed and flashed. A physical sensation followed by dizziness. Scary as hell. I was told it was classic anxiety and I referred myself for MH support this week.

Anyone else noticed cold pinkies? Or more floaters? Or sharp noises in the ears?

@AndsLee it’s not quite the lump in the throat sensation but it may be a similar thing.
I wake up and feel nauseous and go to the toilet (not quite diarrhoea but loose).

@andslee I don’t have reflux but the nausea makes me wonder if it is related to it as it’s after being horizontal all night.

@moodgie

I'm inclined to think something similar... After months of this, perhaps we have developed a "thing". I haven't had an xray, but my bloods were fine. Taken on 4th May...
