So who has covid? Nov 2021

I too joined the club. Felt like crap Monday, figured it was just from the weekend. Slept a lot on Monday but tested negative. Tuesday I was tired, had a headache and slept a couple of hours during the day, but still tested negative. I tested positive (v faint line on a nasal swab) Wednesday and today I was much the same - 2/3 hour naps, completely fatigued, serious brain fog as well. I was going from hot to cold, raspy cough etc. Had a 3 hour sleep today and woke up still tired, but about 2 hours later I was fine, went from being barely able to get off the couch this morning to being out in the garden working away in the afternoon and at the moment I feel completely normal - hopefully on the far side of it now

avoided it til now, dont generally get ill very often, kids have had it and my wife but i never picked it up.

Symptoms since last friday and tested positive on Monday, pretty much a light flu, was able to work etc but felt a bit tired in the evenings, had a persistent cough for 2-3 days, all symptoms gone now and managed a 6k run this morning.

Light dose in my case, have been vaccinated.

Ive friends experiencing it at the moment and they are finding it tough. One has breathing difficulties but its the one with underlying conditions Im worried about.

There also seems to be a depression that has come with it among some I know :(

I just got over it 12 days since first symptom of a slight sore throat which was exactly 10 weeks after I got my Moderna booster which is the efficacy drop off point with the booster

It developed into something similar to a heavy cold but with a quite a number of spells short of breath, aside from the breathing issues everything else felt just like some of the viral crap you picked up pre-2020

Nearly everyone I know who has had covid recently is taking about 10 days to clear the virus then I'm reading reports today that the government are planning to reduce the isolation period down 5 days so don't know what to think

Finally succumbed after 2 years. On day 7 at this stage - got headachey watching six nations last Saturday night. Had two antigen (nasal swabs) Sunday morning - both positive and then pcr later that day - also positive.

So for 6 days I’ve had fatigue, blocked nose, aches and pains, nausea, no appetite, sore throat and cough in the mornings but wears off during the day - seriously tired - sleeping most of the days. I’m still positive by the nasal swab -work for myself in a health clinic - closed clinic all week and now moved Mondays patients.

I’m not as sick now as I was when first diagnosed but I cannot kill it off, no energy.

I’ve been tripled vaccinated and never felt so sick in my life and I’ve had pneumonia before.

Day 9, had to call out of hours GP last night because I couldn’t control the pain in my sinuses. Got steroids, antibiotics and different painkillers

Finally caught up on me too after two years. Antigen came up positive as I knew it would. Symptoms were/are very dry sore throat, aches and pains in body and general just weakness and lack of appetite.

This wave seems to be clearing out anyone that don’t get it the past few years…

Walked half a mile to the shop and sane back with a break for coffee when I was there and slept for 2 hours when I got home.

Who said this was a cold?

I thought you said if it was bad cold they wouldnt be doing those things?

Do you think the level of post viral fatigue is par for the course with a cold as for covid?

I think I speak for the vast majority if the people following this thread when I say the only hysterical nonsense is coming from you. Jumping down the throat of a poster for saying after Day 10 this isnt comparable with a cold in their experience!

Apparently its hysterical nonsense and unduly worrying people to say this has hit them harder than a cold.

I dont know what agenda you are trying to push here but you arent going to persuade anyone shouting hysterical nonsense in every post.

Pretty sure people were dismissing Alpha when it was around too..

The poster said he felt it was worse than a cold. You're the only one getting hysterical.

Tested positive today for the 2nd time. After 2 years working from home was back in the office for a couple of days last week, 3 of my colleagues (that I know of) have now tested +ve.

So far just a blocked nose and a few aches and pains. Last time was just a tickly cough for a couple of days then a bit tired and achy for another couple. Hoping for something similarly mild this time🤞🏻

Tested positive Wednesday, this thread has really helped me, laughter is definitely the best medicine.
