4th time.

[LaMariposa]

April 20 - covid/pneumonia
Oct 20 - covid - bad headache, bodyache and fatigue. Burning sinuses.
Dec 21 - after 3 vaccinations - possible covid. Didn’t test but very similar symptoms. Bad headache, body ache, fatigue.
Jun 22 - think I’ve got it again. Headache. Upper back ache. Slight sore throat. Slight sinus pain. Mild gastro issues - rumbles/gas and diarrhoea. I feel very covid-y.

The question is, what do I need to do in terms of testing? We’ve not really bothered to keep up with the news about it. Luckily we have no plans this weekend.

It won't hurt to report a test. I test every week out of curiosity and always report them.

4th Covid? You poor thing.

I've just tested positive for the sixth time, so I sympathise OP. Hopefully this will be one of my milder infections!

Can I ask how you are doing those of you on the 4th / 6th time @DizzyWhoreI8O4 and @LaMariposa (if you did test positive which I hope you didn't!)

I haven’t bothered to test. I feel very covid-y and am behaving like it is (not going anywhere or seeing anyone) but we are down to our last box of LFTs so I’m saving them for when they are needed - before visiting elderly relatives etc.

There’s been positive tests at my child’s school, and from other local
contacts.

Other than headaches, fatigue and slight 🤢 feeling I’m not too bad.

So far so good. It feels like my hay fever, just a bit more intense. Bit of a headache. I'm freshly fifth jabbed (two weeks ago) so hopefully that and all the other infections will be giving me some immunity against the worst of it!

Hope whatever it is you have, covid or not, continues to be mild and manageable OP 💐

Hmmm @LaMariposa sounds like i was in April! Best wishes to you and I hope it passes a lot quicker this time...! The nausea was intense and set it apart from 'other stuff' for me.

You can get a range of LFTs at boots, pack of 5 for under a tenner.

No point going on about getting covid several times if you won't test.

I was convinced I had it and did a test for 5 days and was negative.

When I then had similar symptoms a couple months later, it was covid.
