Hi everyone,
Just wondered if there was anyone else currently with Covid, I suffer from anxiety and sitting alone in my room isolating really isn't helping. Im only on day 2.
So far I've had a very sore throat and my nose feels slightly congested.
I would love to have a covid pal to get through these difficult and lonely few days. GrinWink

Oh no. How are your parents doing ?
I’m on day 5/6 symptom wise. Only found out it was Covid on Friday so it feels short lived compared to others.
I felt better and now I feel rough again. Sinuses are hurting, my teeth are all itchy. Still testing negative though.
I’m going to have a bath and read a book. That’s my well-being plan for the day.

@PickAChew

Ds2 isn't jabbed and was no worse than triple jabbed DH. If anything, dh is still suffering, over 2 weeks in. His left lung still feels like it has something in there and he's having some pretty bad coughing fits.
Younger people will always have an improved immune response
Tootsey11 · 13/02/2022 09:04

Ds 20, bit achey and tired, that's it, not jabbed.
Dp 59, bad chest pain, very tired and looks and feels rough, double jabbed
Me 46, still feel tired, but sneezing and runny nose stopped, headache gone, chest still slightly sore, not jabbed. My previous infections have I think helped a lot, I presume my b's and t's are working well. Think I would have been much worse if this was my first infection.

Hope today is a better day for everyone here.

I have just tested positive, 10 days after DS9 and 5 days after DH. I was meant to have finally taken DS out this morning, he was soooo looking forward to it but nope, the bastard counting clock has been reset again. DH can come out of self isolation on Tuesday the earliest (but judging by DS who kept testing positive on days 5, ,6, ,7, 8, and 9) but more likely to be Thursday. Half term here from tomorrow, too, so annual leave I have taken will be spent self bloody isolating. And DS going off the rails as none of us can take him out.

I felt like I was getting a cold 2 days ago (runny nose, cough) but kept testing negative (LFT). I have also developed throbbing sensation down the backs of my legs since Wednesday which I now think must be Covid-related. I was successfully treated for breast cancer recurrence last year, so you can imagine my fear when the muscle pain started! So much so that I had to phone my BC nurse and tell her about it - she thought it was muscular.

Of course, had I got it during chemotherapy I would have been seriously fucked! I am triple jabbed and once boosted. Hopefully this means I will be feeling rubbish but won’t develop more serious symptoms.

Still feeling sorry for myself, really. I have been suffering from extreme health anxiety due to breast cancer recurrence, so you can imagine how all this makes me feel.

Off to stuff my face with waffles which I have made to make it up to DS for not going out. He is still asleep.

Day 5 and full of cold and nausea. Testing strongly positive still.

salty78 · 13/02/2022 09:46

I'm day5 too, it's a head cold basically, very bunged up. The cough/chesty feeling I had at the start has more or less gone. I've not had any fever or fatigue so been up and about as normal.

Millicent2022 · 13/02/2022 09:47

Bi hugs all!!

Millicent2022 · 13/02/2022 09:48

Big!

salty78 · 13/02/2022 09:48

Up and about as in at home/in the garden, not spreading it about the neighbourhood

;)

Feel a bit better today (day 5 from test or 6 from symptoms , which is right ?)

Anyway my tightness in chest feels a bit better. Strong positive though still (

It’s now dawning on me and not gonna be feeling instantly better on like wed now. Meant to be going away on Saturday and includes a 3 hour drive and may cancel as can’t imagine feeling up to it tbh...

Hugs all all feeling anxious - what a nasty bug it is (

SunshineMoon100 · 13/02/2022 11:02

Chest feeling sore today most likely from the coughing so i checked my Oxygen which is ok but my pulse seems lower than normal. Panicking now that something awful is about to happen :-(

Would totally advise phoning 111 hon

If your oxygen levels are ok you’re fine. My eldest had pneumonia years ago and she was SO poorly when her levels were too low . Honestly you would be able to tell instantly you were in a bad way.
Try some gentle alternate nose breathing , look on YouTube , that helped with a lot x

Sending love to you all. I wish we had a garden - we live in a tenement flat. Sad

Waffles tasted like cardboard. 🤮

Pissing down here !

I may order a Sunday roast from our local pub for me and ds, really fancy one !

takeyourcanvasbag · 13/02/2022 12:27

I’m not sure what day I’m on anymore (4 since first symptom I think) but I lost my sense of taste and smell yesterday!
Still feel like I have a heavy cold and am tired but was wide awake in the middle of the night again. I feel so washed out and tearful today. Anxiety not too bad, I have an oximeter which normally would trigger me to keep checking but I haven’t felt the need to.

I am triple jabbed and didn’t expect to feel so rough. My husband has a tickly throat now so he’ll be next.

takeyourcanvasbag · 13/02/2022 12:31

Also the chesty cough seems a bit better today, it’s more sinus congestion now.

Not being able to taste is really annoying me, I hope it doesn’t last Envy

Yeah. My nose is SO congested it’s horrible !
Sunflowers765 · 13/02/2022 12:36

Just tested positive after 3 days of sore throat and cold symptoms. DD tested positive a week ago after 4 days of symptoms and negative tests. Feels like a bad cold with sneezing, very hoarse voice and a silly annoying little cough . Drinking tea, hot water bottle and Netflix. DD is better now and out of isolation tomorrow. DH is fine no symptoms negative tests. Hopefully mine won't get any worse. Double jabbed and boosted. Hope everyone is ok.. Omicron is meant to be milder...

Sunflowers765 · 13/02/2022 12:38

What are we all binge watching??? I'm just having a look at Discovery of Witches.
Any suggestions? ( I'm not used to days in bed so might as well make the most of it. )

takeyourcanvasbag · 13/02/2022 12:52

I should probably find something to watch rather than doom scrolling all day Wink
I’ve been enjoying All Of Us Are Dead which is a Korean zombie series.

I need ideas too!!! Haha yes doom scrolling here too!!!
Mymincepie · 13/02/2022 13:18

Lol @ All of us are dead as a viewing choice Grin

I'm bored now too. Bored trying to stay away from other household members and being sensible. I want wine. And to go outside.
