Negative lft but feel HORRENDOUS

[mumtoboys12]

Negative on lateral flow test but I feel the same if not worse than I did a year ago when I had covid! Is this a thing? I need to be careful in my line of work as I work with vulnerable people. I have never felt so unwell!!!!!!

Test again tomorrow maybe? I know a few people who were really poorly but were negative for the first few days.
I hope you feel better soon.

i had it in September, first couple of days negative but then positive for 6 days after that. Was very unwell with it still not 100%. I would say though if you are that unwell it doesn’t matter if positive or not I would still stay away from the vulnerable as there are also other nasty viruses that you wouldn’t want to pass on.

It took almost a week for me to test positive on the LFT but I knew I had covid because I’d been in contact with someone who’d tested positive.

Even if it’s not covid there’s nasty colds/flu/viruses going around so prob best to stay away from the vulnerable if possible?

I was very ill a few weeks ago. Glued to the bed. No appetite etc. It was bad. I didn't bother to test for Covid as I'd had it a couple of weeks before. The Covid was an absolute walk in the park compared to whatever virus this was. What I'm saying is, it's not necessarily Covid - other viruses are available!

Hope you're feeling better soon
