Hi all, interested how everyone is with covid? I’m on day 10 & still feeling rubbishy! I’m on the mend but it’s taking it’s time. Anyone else the same?

Honestly I tested positive Christmas eve and I've not been right since

hamstersarse · 06/01/2022 19:45

I’m on day 11 and have felt fine since day 2/3

Bit tired but wouldn’t really notice it massively

Were you boosted?

Hoopoo · 06/01/2022 19:54

Ahhh that’s rubbish…. Similar to me then. I just can’t believe how long it’s taking to feel better…. I know the worst thing is probably to stress out, but you start wondering how long to feel good again.

Got my PCR results on Tuesday, I’m feeling pretty crap and sorry for myself.

It’s the lack of taste and smell that’s upsetting me the most, I know that sounds ridiculous but I see no point in eating or drinking if I can’t taste!

Also, anyone having hot and cold flushes? I don’t have a temperature, but I go from absolutely freezing cold, to dripping with sweat.

I haven’t lost my smell or taste, that must be horrible! Sounds like you have the delta variant then, I think I have the omicron.
I had the cold flushed but not really sweating. I’m on day 11 now & feeling groggy & congested. Can’t wait to recover.
Hope you feel better soon

Has anyone who's had Covid had a bad chest at the end?
I tested positive on a lateral flow on 1.1.22 but had had a sore throat and bad head, fatigue for a couple of days beforehand. Had tested and each time had been negative until new years day when was positive.
Have had a whole range of horrible symptoms:

Sore throat
Slight cough
Bad headache
Body aches
Shivers
Sore chest
Nausea
Upset stomach
Dizziness
Confusion
Temperature
Bone chills like ice, couldn't get them warm
Dry lips
Sore eyes
Blurry eyes
Burning nose
Insane thirst
Palpitations
Weak shaky
Odd taste to foods
Can't stomach certain food or drink
Back ache
Bad fatigue, like suddenly just falling asleep for ages.
Also spates where I cannot sleep even tho absolutely drained
Leg cramps
Runny nose
Tight chest
Ringing ears
Dry mouth
Sore skin
Itchy toes
And probably more I've forgotten.
I tested negative on day 7&8 but didn't leave the house till day 10 as my son who lives here tested positive the day after me.
Had to do a bit of a cleaning job in my porch yesterday and I have a feeling I've overdone it. Felt yucky half way through but all the stuff was outside so had to continue.
Last night felt weak, yucky and shattered.
Today I've got up with a sore chest like someone's sat on it. A slight cough again.
Have been taking my peak flows and they are normal for me between 300-350 and my oximeter levels are between 99-97.
I'm not wheezing at all it's just tight and sore.
Spending the day resting but just wondered if anyone else has had similar happen.

I am triple jabbed, have asthma and Sarcoidosis (which has been ok recently) . Taking all my usual meds and have upped my inhaler.
