I feel so rough! Started with feeling odd over the weekend but I’d had my flu jab Friday so thought it may be that. Monday started a streaming nose and feeling a little worse.

Yesterday and today I’m coughing, spaced out, feeling nauseous, slight headache. I feel like I have a fever but it’s not high on the thermometer. My pulse is fast which is stopping me sleeping.

I’m awaiting a PCR that I sent back via post yesterday. I’ve taken an LFT every morning since Saturday and they appear negative.

This mornings LFT is attached - it is negative yes?

Negative but with those symptoms I'd get a PCR just in case, hope you feel better soon there'd a lot of colds etc going around

I can't see a line. It looks negative to me.

tocas · 06/10/2021 07:53

Sorry just seen you've done your pcr, I must still be half asleep

That definitely looks negative but a PCR will obviously be more accurate.

I had my flu jab two weeks ago and was spacy, achy and nauseous for about a week after. Definitely not covid as I only had it a few weeks ago so extremely unlikely to have caught it again. DD was 'off' for a good few days after her jab, too. Perhaps it's the vaccine they're using this year?

Hope you feel better soon OP, whatever it is Flowers

Negative

Just found out that a colleague has tested positive on PCR despite having negative LFTs all last week.

I’ll update when my results come in. Fingers crossed for me, I’m meant to be flying to Greece on Saturday 😬

Negative but what’s the point in doing one every day when you’re waiting for a PCR? It’s a waste of tests.

Yes negative, there are lots of other virus, s around unfortunately, im recovering from a bad cold and cough, which i caught off my son we both tested negative on the PCR tests.

academicallyblonde · 06/10/2021 11:47

That looks negative. Fingers crossed it’s just the after effects of your flu jab.

whatswithtodaytoday · 06/10/2021 11:58

That looks negative to me, and I'm very good at seeing lines :D We've just had a hideous cough and cold go through the family, all had sore throat, then streaming cold, then awful cough. Negative LFTs and PCRs throughout.

Thanks all, I received a negative result just after midnight.

Still awake unable to sleep, congested and coughing. A stark reminder that other viruses are still available I guess!
