I tested positive on January 1st (woo great start to the year)

I've never had covid before. But I now can't feel my body properly- it's like from my waist down I've gone slightly numb.

Like I'm trying to walk through water. Im wobbly and have to look what im walking on as haven't got full feeling.
Even when im sat down I can't feel my body properly
I have to exaggerate my movements just to walk/ move semi normal

Has anyone else had this?
I feel drunk
Been like this 2 days now

So finally got a call back at 4pm the next DAY after I was told I'd have a call by 6pm the SAME day 🙄 (I get they're busy but when I'm supposed to be waiting 2 hours and I actually end up waiting 22 hours....)

I've been told 58% of people who get covid get a similar problem like I've got. And I will need physical therapy to try regain feeling back in my legs and feet

Was that from 111? I think that's really odd and questionable. I know this isn't scientific, but I know probably hundreds of people who have had Covid and none who have had this or have gone on to need physio for it. I think if it doesn't improve, I'd push them again.

Regardless, I hope it goes away quickly!
