I woke up with a crushing migraine today and suddenly realised I had no sense of smell whatsoever. I can taste, albeit not everything but I can’t smell even strongest of scents.
I booked a test straight away in a walk center nearby. I had to self administer and am anxious that I’ve done it wrong. The ones who self administered, did you feel you did it right?
Swabbing tonsils caused me to to gag and when I inserted the swab deep inside one of my nostrils, it was really painful and I had a tiny bit of blood left on the swab. I really hope I managed 10 seconds!
I feel so anxious about everything. Is it easy to ruin the test? I’d hate to waste time waiting for the test that’s inconclusive.
Also I feel really silly not to take myself seriously during the last week. I felt significantly more tired than usual dosing off in the sofa in the evening, but I thought it was a stress from a new job or hormonal. I now feel like I had to test sooner! I work in a high risk environment.
