I have just got my negative test. I wouldn't say I'm 100% but a lot better.

I need to go back to work been having a lot time off due to other health stuff.

I am worried that I will go back and still be generally feeling unwell. I have a headache but maybe weather feeling a bit rough.

Any experiences of returning to work and how long did you fully feel back to yourself?

I went back to work the week after I tested positive. But I have a job where I can take it easy if I need to. I took a few weeks before I felt 100% again. I guess how well you will manage depends on what kind of job you do?

I still got a cough as a lot laying on my chest. But not too bad

I am going back have to try manage. I suppose for me it's not just Covid it being pregnant and have Fibromyalgia too.

Going back a few months, I was still positive on day 11 and work wouldn't let me go back in, much to my relief. I do a variety of till, stocking shelves, self serve, running around trying to help customers, so little chance of a sit down.

I'm day 12 and going back tomorrow.

I'm still not 100%, I have a headache, fatigue, terrible muscle pain but I'm getting cabin fever now. Very active job so I'm nervous how I'll manage.

I went back today but really exhausted. I have felt well with my stomach feeling a bit sick.

Has anyone gone back to work but it was too early. They needed more time off

Getting worried can't take no more time off.

Plus where I work no air conditioning. So was very hot.
