"Iv had it twice 1st December 2020 lost my dad with it to, and may this year " Sorry to hear that, but it doesn’t answer my question | |||
"Weather full on or mild cases, did it leave you muscular pain? Covid got me last Wednesday. Had the itchy red eyes, and muscle pain all over my body, and the baddest headache ever, even worse than my worst ever migraine. Since it’s all died down, I’m coughing for “England” or should that be Scotland? It’s also triggered my asthma. But I’ve got very bad back pain at the back of my pelvis, hips & thighs. Anyone else had similar " Nothing like that for me. Cal | |||

I have just been chilling since as I am told long covid comes when you try to over do things too early. X " The very first day from testing I had a banging headache, muscle pain from neck, shoulders, top of arms, back, pelvis, hips, thighs and ankles, could literally feel it working it’s way down, when I went to bed I was frozen, couldn’t get warm, so put on my winter blanket. Slowly the pain went but the pelvis, hips & front of thighs have remained. I also have asthma so that’s been triggered again. But weirdly I haven’t actually felt ill. Long Covid is when the symptoms last longer than they should, but doing too much too soon never helps. I’m on regular painkillers anyway so I’ve had to double them, as can’t take likes of paracetamol | |||
"Long covid usually appears a few weeks/months after. Between 1-3months. It looks like i have long covid, my symptoms are anxiety, dodgy tummy and back ache. Not everyone gets breathlessness. My sister had covid in April 2020 and is still suffering " I have a friend who has long Covid, she manages with a nap mid afternoon sometimes starting at 11am. | |||

"Motion sick for a 48 hours a headache that lasted a few days then been fine since tested lung capacity with 31 days in a row of 4 mile runs, being fit and healthy works wonders for the immune system " I used to be fit and healthy - not any more though | |||

Anyone else had similar " I only suffered a bit of a snotty nose and a cough, no real issues. My husband the same during positive testing. A week or so later terrible joint pains especially in neck, hip, pelvic region and fingers. Pain killers, trips to physio and loads of exercise. Took about 2 - 3 months to ease, not fully better but, for him, exercise and getting back to work is the key to relief. Hope you get better.  | |||

"Covid causes inflammation, so there's a mechanism that could influence the development of back pain. I recollect that omicron has been locked to people reporting lower back pain, so it seems feasible that new pain, or resurgence of earlier problems, could follow a covid infection. It's worth digging further into new research evidence. Hope you get to feel some relief soon OP. " Thanks. I did mention to dr, she says she’s never heard of anyone being affected by muscular pain with Covid (I don’t believe her) oh well double painkillers it is since I can’t take anything else | |||
"I had it the October before the vaccine’s came out and I still suffer…I don’t take normal headaches anymore it’s still the sharp/jaggy type, I have eye sight problems, bowel problems, I can ache from head to toe, I get very tired and I still get the burning smell every now and again. " That sounds awful, sorry to hear that. Do you take extra Vitamin D capsules? They might help with the fatigue | |||

"Never actually got Covid but since the third vaccine….. poorly…. Dreadful nose bleeds and then a blood clot which caused a heart attack! Doing fine now………." Yep me too prior to Covid, actually started in Sept with CMV ill for 6 weeks, then had Covid booster in November, bronchitis in dec and feb/March, and chest infection in April/May, then Covid in June, couldn’t make it up.

"I had it. Very mild symptoms. Sightly sore throat for 1 day and a phlegmy cough for 2 weeks. Im not vaccinated. By all accounts I should be dead. Yet here I am. " Why should you be dead? You got a virus with a low fatality rating and your immune system fought it off. | |||

"I have it at moment 10 days inn 2nd time around its bad every symptom from the list near enough as long as im not back to square one again with long covid ill cope and no im not jabbed my own defence thought off the first time i caught it and is doing the same this time...just wish people would stop Being so complacent about covid and the simple things like use hand sanitiser its going to kick off big time again and faster glastonbury and the festivals " You have it a second time and you’re 10 days in? I had it as it says at the top, that was 2weeks ago now, I was better after 5 days, you’re on day 10… I’d say your immune system isn’t coping that well if you’re still ill. If you have already had long Covid, I’d reckon there’s a good chance you’ll get long Covid again. Be a better idea to have the vaccines than trust your weakened immune system unless you’re taking supplements to back up your immune system? | |||

"All had it twice here. First time was between jabs 2 and 3 and the last time was when fully vaccinated. Second time was worse than the first and still haven't fully recovered sense of taste or smell and various other issues. One strange thing is at each time the injection jab site seemed to flair up as if being attacked?" Probably just a mild reaction for the jab. I didn’t have any reactions to the first two vaccines (both AZ) the booster was Pfizer and had a reaction that went down my arm, over my shoulder and half my chest! All very red and itchy, I’ll no be having Pfizer again! Symptoms of Covid, I had the headache, aching muscles, cough, but kept my sense of smell & taste. But it was a mild dose, maybe that makes a difference? | |||

"Had covid 3 times, and have the symptoms of long covid. had some tests done and i was told the virus hits any weak spots in the body like organs or muscular. i find that iam knackered most of the time. sometimes have headaches, struggle to sleep.Have a really bad stomach for a day then flu symptoms for a couple of days after. My lung capacity has dropped and walking is ok at short distances...thank god for Gin " Do you take vitamin D? That will help with fatigue & sleep | |||
"Nope ill-stick with my own body system jabs dont work i know people jabbed so many time and still get it....so that says a lot...10 years go by thats probably 50 jabs a person by then" You do realise that no body ever said that having the vaccines won’t stop anyone from getting Covid? The vaccines stop you from getting it so badly that you’d possibly end up in hospital on machines & oxygen. My sister had Covid last year, no vaccines she ended up in hospital on oxygen for a week. I had it 2 weeks ago, I’ve been jabbed, I have asthma, yes it triggered my asthma, but I still didn’t have to go into hospital. That, says a lot. | |||

"Had covid 3 times, and have the symptoms of long covid. had some tests done and i was told the virus hits any weak spots in the body like organs or muscular. i find that iam knackered most of the time. sometimes have headaches, struggle to sleep.Have a really bad stomach for a day then flu symptoms for a couple of days after. My lung capacity has dropped and walking is ok at short distances...thank god for Gin Do you take vitamin D? That will help with fatigue & sleep " I take vit D but so far havent felt any benefit from it...a friend has made up some oils to help sleep and they work quite well at the moment | |||
"Weather full on or mild cases, did it leave you muscular pain? Covid got me last Wednesday. Had the itchy red eyes, and muscle pain all over my body, and the baddest headache ever, even worse than my worst ever migraine. Since it’s all died down, I’m coughing for “England” or should that be Scotland? It’s also triggered my asthma. But I’ve got very bad back pain at the back of my pelvis, hips & thighs. Anyone else had similar " Yep. Both times, everything ached. Just like really bad flu!! Joints, muscles were really bad and this last time, really intense headache above left ear! I do suffer with arthritis though so maybe that exacerbated the aches and pains. Just not a nice experience and left me bedded down for a week both times. Learned first time round not to overdo it too early once negative. | |||

"Day 11 and im testing negative at last Whey still got a tickle throat and fatigue And lack of taste smell but my immune system has worked again and sorted it....one thing i did different this time was i took no paracetamol to see if it made any difference but then last time i had it months so cant say "You know it’s entirely your choice if you want the vaccine or not, and you’ve chosen not too, but the fact you’re finally testing negative at day 11, says a lot. I was testing negative on day 7. At 2 weeks I felt loads better - aside from the back pain, but double painkillers are helping that. 4 weeks on I’m feel fine. Cough is going, breathing is back to normal (asthma) as for lack of taste, that didn’t happen with me. Also you have to remember not everyone’s immune system is healthy, and it’s these people who need the vaccines, even if they don’t last as long as was first thought, any protection for these people is a life saver, but that doesn’t mean these people won’t get Covid, or even die from it. But every time you have Covid, it’s weakening your immune system not strengthening it. | |||
