When did you start feeling better?

[wheresmyhairytoe]

I started feeling rubbish on Friday, finally got positive test on Monday.

I've never felt so ill, I've been in bed for 7 days now, getting up to eat then having to sleep again to recover from the effort.
I ache everywhere, got pressure in my ears and so emotional.

Every morning I wake up thinking I'll feel a bit better but I don't.

I'm not one to "do" being ill so need a chink of light to look forward to.

I’m on Day 16, getting a little better every day but it has been ghastly. I needed antibiotics because it’s caused a secondary infection in my sinuses.

It’s been the worst bout of illness I’ve ever had. I am CEV and it doesn’t appear that being double jabbed has helped me (I have undergone Rituximab infusions in the past and studies in the Lancet have concluded that Rituximab patients don’t make good candidates for Covid-19 vaccines).

I can’t stand for long, my body hurts, my appetite is minimal, I have no desire to do anything, I can’t concentrate, my cognitive ability is reduced, everything is an effort, the pressure in my head is debilitating, stabbing pains in my ears are worrisome, I am still reliant on pain relief, I am having strange dreams, and I am desperate to feel like the old me again, whilst feeling immensely relieved that I didn’t end up being admitted to hospital.

Why people are questioning having the vaccine is beyond me... that’s a separate rant though!

I've felt slightly better today but am now coughing like mad.

Put some washing on and washed the pots and now feel exhausted again.
