Hi, So on boxing day my mum took symtoms, positive lft followed by positive pcr
My husband and son the same the next day.
My took girls s took headaches, dizziness and nausea one 3 nights ago negative lft one last night with strong positive lft
Me and girls are waiting pcr tests from yestrday
I have been in pain for days with upper back and chest pain, dizziness and sick feeling. I was boosted 2 weeks ago and to be honest felt terrible sinse then so it's difficult to tell.
I'm worried because if I'm yet to get it I feel bad enough just now without covid so I guess I'm kind off hoping my lfts are showing false negatives while the rest are showing positive?
Feel like I'm just waiting on the onset of being horrendous and a bit scared to be honest 😔🙈

Urgh know the feeling. My partner tested positive dec 23rd on lft and then on pcr.
Xmas with family cancelled.
Now going to see them Monday but I’m feeling a bit off. No fever or sore throat but just not right. I’ve been testing lft every day since partner was positive but I’m negative every time.
Feel like a ticking time bomb. Family happy to accept multiple lft negs as gospel. Worried I could pass it on if I have it.. but family are very much not hiding away from covid.. think New Years in a restaurant then pub!!

Try not to worry. I have been doing the Xmas waiting game too and finally tested positive on LFT, awaiting PCR. I am already feeling better so although I am convinced it will be positive, I do feel I am over the worst of it already

Strangely, I had Covid in May 2020 and didn’t even realise until I had antibody tests a month later.

Did you test when you felt rough after the booster? Because, whilst I guess it's not impossible that hte booster would give you two weeks of side effects, it's pretty unusual.

I do wonder if you might have had covid.

I hope you're all through it and out the other side, soon.

My partner only tested to make sure we were clear before seeing family the next day and it was positive. No symptoms at all.
After 6 days did lft day 6,7 & 8 all negative to end isolation.

I’ve been testing daily since then and all negative. I keep getting a very flushed face. I don’t seem to find that as being a symptom?
Maybe menopause is heading my way 🥴
