Just tested positive

[Roch91]

My son tested positive on Sunday & today I started to feel congested & throat feels scratchy so did lateral flow & it's come back positive! I'm awaiting for a appointment to become available for a PCR. I'm really scared!! I'm overweight....I suffer with health anxiety so as you can imagine I'm absolutely petrified!!

That’s great to hear

@Roch91 hope you are fully recovered now..

Today & yesterday I've felt really good, back to normal. Still can't taste & smell 🙄 thanks for asking 🤗

Glad you are doing ok, OP. Just to think to the guidance about whether your husband’s isolation period restarts if a second family members tests positive during the household isolation period for the first person to test positive: no it definitely doesn’t. He just does the 10 days, unless he develops symptoms and gets a positive PCR.
Guidance is on this page and says: “ If other household members develop symptoms during this period, you do not need to isolate for longer than 10 days”

And this is the helpful diagram to explain it (similar to a BBC one posted up thread) link to diagram

I know it's scary, but try to stay calm and make yourself a promise that you will - this time - go to hospital if you need it. Don't let your natural tendency to stay away from doctors, jabs or whatever cause you more problems.

I am the same - I tried to stay away from medicine for years and then last year got into a very difficult spot. Trust our excellent nurses and doctors know more than us and get help when you need it now.

Excellent advice
