Covid day of hell please tell me I will feel better

[dublingirl66]

It is such a weird one

So few days of doing well

Day 8 and. Now feel awful

Horrible horrible day

Please try your best all to protect your loved ones from this awful thing xxxxx

I'm not sure if you should maybe give the doctor or 111 a ring?
Just in case it's maybe a kidney infection or something on top of the covid?

Thank you
Very unusual

Thanks so much all the kind people who have offered great advice

Two weeks on
Much stronger
Some aches and pains

All of us doing well now

Love to all who have been or are now sick with this awful virus
It does get better with time

Vitamin d is so important and as others said zinc and vit c good for pre and post recovery

Love to all xxxxxx

I was just going to check on how you all are, so glad you are all doing well
It might be a while before you are all back to normal but so glad you are all on the mend! x

Glad you're all improving OP, you and your lovely DF.
Thanks for the update.
I hope you both continue to do well.
Rest when you can though - it's so important not to rush this.

Thanks so so much

It meant a lot to have reassurance on here especially the really bad days 😢😢😢

Hey @dublingirl66, hope you and family are still holding up. I would say it's taken me a good 2 weeks to feel anywhere near normal.

Glad to hear you are both recovering .

Yay. Keep on improving.... and dont think Im better I should clean the house, buy groceries and do the washing...you will be right back in bed. Take it slowly and baby yourself.

Yes definitely @SeaToSki that's what I did and found it set me back ! Just take it easy OP .don't try and do too much at first .

Yes!!!!!

Went out for a few short walks

Now paying for it
Exhausted in bed

Ughhhhhh you horrible virus

Glad we are over the worse of it

Thinking of all who are struggling

Guys the post viral fatigue 😢😢😢

What should I take?

I have increased my vit d c and zinc

@dublingirl66 you could try vit b12, NPAC and probiotics. But, ime, the only things that helped were rest, not pushing yourself physically and time (months). You have been really ill. Now you need to recuperate. This will mean minimal cooking, minimal laundry, minimal housework and what there is of these things shared out equally be the 5 of you. That's quite a change of mindset for most women.

Thanks so so much :)

Really useful

So true
Relax and rest

Share some of the work out

🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

What is npac??

Sorry, typo. NAC N-Acetyl-Cysteine

It's a food supplement, commonly prescribed for coronavirus in the US. You can read up on it and decide whether to try it.

Really, really cant over-emphasise the importance of resting. I was on the lungs threads last spring (the place to hang our for those of us with COVID) and several people on them massively set back their recovery by over-exerting themselves in the early months.

Thank you so so much

Will look into it now

My friend had it and lives on her own, she caught it on the Sunday after Christmas but didn’t home down with symptoms for 5 days. She seemed to have a wobble about day 7 too if I remember. She felt breathless and wasn’t able to put a sentence together properly. She was throwing up and had a vile headache too. Fortunately she’s on the mend but says she feels like she’s been trodden on by a dinosaur from Jurassic Park. She did buy an oxygen monitor for her finger (about £20) and was told to dial 999 if her blood oxygen level dropped below 90%

Thanks so much

Yes I feel like a bus has drove over parts of my arms and legs

So bizarre

Hope your friend is ok now?

So glad my dad at least is much better :)

Interestingly he is healthy, took vit d and a good weight

How are you feeling now?

Glad to hear your Dad had started to feel much better! How is he now?

I'm on day 12 and still feeling very washed out. I'm just so weak and dizzy. I've been nauseous so haven't been able to eat much.

I had really bad ear ache with it and my ears still feel all blocked. I don't know if I maybe have an ear infection now.

I'm very fed up with it all now.
