"I had it in February, confirmed by antibody test in June Lost taste for 3 weeks, extreme fatigue, breathlessness, persistent cough and a temp for a couple of days... was probably the most unwell I’ve ever been and I’m usually fit and healthy " Do you know your blood group ? | |||

"No, not sex; covid? I'm currently recovering from a bout of the virus which has managed to keep me in bed for a week, put me into hospital with suspected blood clots and breathing issues, and leave me with about enough energy to walk upstairs, with a stop half way. Food still tastes awful, mostly metallic but today orange squash started tasting of aniseed..I hate aniseed! I have been in constant pain since the symptoms really kicked in; every bone and muscle aches or hurts. My knees are still swollen and painful to touch and my sternum feels like it has become detached when I cough. My symptoms first appeared on the 15th, a sore throat and eyes. By the 17th, I was unable to get out of bed, almost uncontrollable cough, aches, headache and stomach pains. At times, I felt so ill, I thought I wouldn't wake the next day. Today I feel I have turned the corner and am on the mend, I am still in considerable pain, the cough has abated a little and fortunately the headaches started to subside on Sunday just gone and are now just a niggling ache. . By all counts, I have had fairly mild symptoms. . I am healthy, don't smoke, I exercise regularly, not overweight and have no pre-existing conditions, yet this disease has knocked me for six. A friend, twelve years older than me, who is overweight and who's idea of exercise is lifting pints at the pub, had covid back in August. He thought he had a mild cold, a cough and sniffles. He only got tested because he was bored and a test centre had appeared less then 200m from his house; curiosity drove him as did his wife, who drove the car.. His wife did not catch it, her test taken a few days later was negative. . So if you have had it and don't mind letting others know how you faired, please post your experience whether extreme or mild. " I was swabbed positive early April as was my youngest son. He was admitted to Alder Heys HDU, he was deemed at risk case as he had had a serious lung infection last year resulting in a chest drain. He faired quite well and returned home after 12 days but was treated with a variety of antibiotics and kept on oxygen. I was self isolated and had comparable experience with yourself but seemed to recover after around 10 days. What did suprise me was the following three months, it felt like I was running on 80% energy day to day, I also had a chest infection (non covid related) which turned into pneumonia two months after swabbing clear. I have to say I fear a little from your overview the similarities with a number of fit and healthy folk I know who have since been diagnosed with Long Covid. Please do take good care of yourself and go and see your doctor if you aren’t feeling right in a couple of weeks. Speedy recovery x | |||

"Myself and my husband are just recovering after testing positive on the 20th. I still find it interesting how different the symptoms are from one person to the next. We have suffered extreme fatigue, chest tightness, wheezing, cough, temperature, insomnia, shakes, joint and muscle pains. I don't have any underlying medical conditions but my husband does. He is diabetic and asthmatic. It hit him much harder than myself. We have been isolating since our symptoms started. We thought we'd turned a corner and then BAM! We woke up this morning feeling like crap again! Nobody tells you about your legs feeling like lead weights and like they don't belong to you! It comes over you in waves. Like someone said previously, it's like the virus and your immune system are constantly battling it out. Thankfully we weren't hospitalized, but there was a couple of days when I was so close to calling an ambulance because I was so worried about my husband. I slept by his side on our settee for four nights as I couldn't take my eyes off him, scared that I may not see h I'm the morning. This virus is evil. I wouldn't wish it upon my worst enemy. It is a long, slow recovery. I have no ideas what the repurcussions will be to our bodies after this virus has ravaged every cell. I just hope and pray that our paths do not cross again with this goddamn awful virus!" Glad to hear you guys are on the road to recovery but the virus is not evil its just a virus it has no conscience. | |||

"I finished my isolation period today with my wife and 2 children. Started with headache and a bit of a chest compression feeling. I have moderate COPD so was worried and after 6 days I was feeling very bad.... So bad i even gave my wife my mobile and PC passwords! . Got tested and we all had it. Thanks to neighbours and friends for doing the top up shops. " That must have been scary. Hope you are all doing better now. | |||

I put it down to poor circulation as my heart isn't beating properly. Lead weights is an apt description. | |||

"Great thread, interesting to see how this effects people differently. I dont usually get sick,- not even colds or flu,back in March when "blundering Boris" was still mulling over locking down a relative came back from London using public transport etc. I had locked-down 10 days before as even I could see what was coming, and wearing masks, so it just goes to show how infectious this disease is. First thing I noticed was glands up in neck so much it hurt-so googled it and found out that was immune system fighting a virus! No cough or shortness of breath, which I put down to being a smoker, and apparently virus dosent like that! Extreme fatigue, mentally and physically which went on for about three weeks, strange thing was you would have a day when you could hardly lift your head, but the next day you were fine, then back again the next day-as if there was a fight going on between the virus and immune system, also twice a day, once in the morning and once in the evenings nose would run uncontrollably as if body was trying to rid of something. Now here is the strange bit, I read a news report of a guy in hospital with co-vid who woke up in hospital, groped the nurses with a raging hard-on and told his wife he slept with men-reports show the psychiatric effect can lead to depression-but believe me the opposite can happen as well-for months I was mincing round spilling all to anyone that would listen! It has just worn off, but all those macho non-compliers-take this seriously-you may lose more than your health! "There are lots of other symptoms than the 'big three'. One is delirium. The hospital patient may have been suffering from that ... hopefully. | |||
