So I tested positive today
I’m triple jabbed. But also morbidly obese at 22 stone
I’m panicking I’m going to drop down dead
TodY I have a feint line
I haven’t tested for a week
Last week I tested every day because I’d been in hospital (thinking I’d had a heart attack but I hadn’t ) and the doctor said that from my bloods he could see I was either getting ill or getting over an illness. But. Felt fine. Could I have just gotten over it hence the feint line
This past week iv not been myself mostly a racing heart but heart rate is fine

Also iv got a scratchy throat how much worse will it get?

Felt pretty rough yesterday (fluey)
Bit better today
Triple jabbed
Hope you just have a mild case x

Hopefully you have a mild case.

I tested positive yesterday and so far it seems a very mild case but I’m worried about what tomorrow will bring. At least we’re jabbed! Good luck

I'm 22 stone with asthma. Triple jabbed. I got covid in Jan and I was fine. Felt like a bad cold. My asthma triggered badly on day 8 but nothing I couldn't manage at home

It’s weird because I’ve actually been feeling crazily tired for about a week (no real surprise with 3 little ones and a non sleeping baby) but different to usual. I’ve only just tested positive. Feel particularly rough this afternoon on day 3- the cold is coming , I have a ‘butterflies’ feeling and just not right.
Over the counter cocodamol is keeping on top of my throat and head, I recommend it!

Silver lining though- someone has just done a doorstep delivery of cakes and I can’t face them Shock

@TypicaIMe five times is shocking! When did you first contract it?

18 stone. Got it for the first time last week. It was a bad cold for a couple of days and then it was fine. You'll be ok OP.
