Jus tested positive for covid

[Sara0]

Hi all... im a little worried I don't even know why I done a covid test but it's come out positive.. anyone else in the same boat as me or has been recently?? I feel on deaths door... bones feel like they are crushing and blocked up nose with a weird headache .... also what's the rules about having covid now? Do we still isolate .. do my kids go school? Help please..... thanks

Technically you son not have to do anything. However I isolated 3 weeks ago for 6 days when I had it. My husband went to work then he came down with it. We were able to, so we did.

Do not have to...

Your kids can still go to school. You can isolate if you like but there's no requirement to.

You don't have to do anything. Just focus on feeling better soon.

Thanks for the reply... yes I'm so bad atm... I hope my hubby don't catch it.. we have a flight to catch next week :(

You don't 'have' to do anything, but probably sensible to stay at home while you're feeling rough. Hope you're much better very soon!

Thank god for that... I was dreading them staying home ...

Thankyou hun.. I'm so glad for this wider community xxx

Also when did u start to feel better ... after how many days x

NHS is still to isolate for 5 days, and keep away from vulnerable people for 10 days.

I was ill in bed for a week and tested positive for 13 days. Isolated in a bedroom and no one else in the house caught it.

NHS advice that should say.

Do what you want, based on how ill you feel, and bin the tests.

I tested positive this morning.

Gov advice on the website is to stay at home for 5 days. (It's on the Gov website). I'm an NHS employee so have to stay off for that plus need a negative LFT too.

How are you feeling? I'm knackered and don't feel fab, equally I'm grateful that seeing both lines appear isn't the instant panic it would have been in 2020.

You can tell my level of functioning as I've just read my post back 🤣 on the Gov website don't you know! 🤦🏻‍♀️

my mom said the same... she said why am
I even testing it's the same as not testing coz when we are sick we stay home anyway .. I do wish I didn't do it now

I've just got over Covid. Felt absolutely terrible for 3 days. Felt OK after 6 days and tested negative on 7th. Kept myself isolated in my room and family left me soup just outside the door - noone else caught it and they carriedon as normal. You don't have to isolate though the advice is 5 days - you'll probably feel ill that long anyway, but I wish you a speedy recovery.

There's no rules but if you feel ill best to stay at home, just like before covid

Oh I'm so glad there's someone who's positive today .. not in a bad way but Uno what I mean.. o am absolutely knackered.. my bones are
Crushing and I got a migraine ... my legs are the worst they are very restless at night.. and I swear a lot in hes which never happens .. what's ur symptoms?

I swear I feel very dopey myself and I'm very clumsy 🤣🤣🤣

I had it a month ago, and with that migraine to start. It lasts around 4-5 days max.

Thanks for ur reply xx

Hi all... omg I am really bad today.. isit normal to feel so battered .... can anyone tells me there symptoms please xxxi suffer from BIG health anxiety :(

I had COVID Monday last week and felt terrible. Once the full body pains eased off I could cope with the other symptoms and look after my 4 year old who also had it.
Keep hydrated and take paracetamol just to get through the worst bit and I hope you feel better soon. I got a negative test this morning.

@FatCovidWorries I'm really bad... the body aches feel like my bones r been crushed with a bulldozer.. I can't explain it any better.. I am on the tablets... my hearing is less .. I feel dead today morning aswell.. I'm only on day 3...
