But this is the worst I've felt in such a long time. My immune system is usually on point. I've dodged COVID all the way through and now I think it's my turn. It's so grim! I had some Capri sun and it just tasted like metal. Two days ago when it was on it's way I felt like I had parkinson's I was stood up shaking my piss everywhere I was so cold. Now my eyeballs feel like they're Steve buschemi's and my nose clogs then drips a right thick amount into my throat I can't cough or swallow it out when I'm laying down trying to sleep.
I'm not dead so can't complain but yeah thought it share the pleasantries with you all.
I also have to work still as I'm self.employed and already took a week off prior to spend time with the kids  |

That sounds quite vile 
Understand the money situation but be kind to others and please wear a mask when out the house?
I'm still recovering from my second round of covid 4 weeks on, it hits some harder than others.
Get well soon! |

"Thank you! Yeah I'm wearing a mask when I'm working or anywhere near other people. I just thought this was all over with now... Maybe I should have had that 2nd jab!"
It's here with us.. Full stop
You just learn to deal with it and be sensible about trying not to spread it if you know you have it |

"Hang on…you’ve got covid, early stages and feeling awful and out working near others?  "
I think most people can go to work/go out and about/shopping etc with covid. It's not 2020 anymore unfortunately. Aslong as you wear a mask you're good to go. |

Actually that's not true. Government guidance/advise is to still avoid being with other for 5 days after testing positive, stay at home etc - ie the first period when most infectious. It's not a requirement but it is suggested in order to protect others. |

But OP I do hope you feel better soon. Hells had it a month or so ago and took four weeks to shake it off. She was in agony for about 10 days as morphed into a sinus infection and affected whole face/head. Needed lots of medication including two antibiotics, various treatment for sinus etc. And that was after having three jabs. |

As you said advised it not mandatory no more so the OP can go to work etc not everyone can afford to be of work and with the energy bills going through the roof I expect alot of people will not take the advice |

Hells stayed at home for 6 days after testing positive but yep I know many will not which is a real shame. I would hope people might at least for a few days when symptims are raging. And as for shopping and other non-work things really think people can avoid that for a few days. There is a reason it is still advised even if not mandatory. |

Sorry to hear that.
Imagine how worse it could've been if she hadn't had the three jabs!
I hope the appointment for the fourth is booked.

I appreciate your wishes but like someone has said - it's not 2020 anymore and it just seems like I've got to deal with it either way. I'm in quite a tight situation where I really need to work but here we are... |

I notice none of those telling you to stay at home have offered to send you donations to cover your lost earnings.
My advice would be go out and earn some money. After all, anyone who is vaccinated who catches COVID-19 from you has nothing to worry about because the vaccines work. |

"That’s quite right! Absolutely nobody who’s been fully vaccinated has been hospitalised, developed long covid, or died!!
It’s a miracle cure 
What an obnoxious attitude "
Why is it obnoxious? |

Omg....I'm so lucky with my respiratory system but I know others with asthma, regular chest infections and sinus issues can really tank with COVID.
Hopefully she is on the mend. I threw a load of paracetamol and ibuprofen at it at the correct dosage and stayed in bed for 4 days. I live alone so I had to pop to the corner shops with a mask at night and kept my distance. I was too weak to stand for long periods cooking and to eat a full meal. My mom (a nurse) used to give me Original Lucozade when I was ill as a child so I chugged a load of that and ate snacks instead. I'm triply jabbed (because I have to travel overseas for family) and I take a multivitamin and a high dose of iron, magnesium and vitamin B complex, C and D. I swim, walk and/or cycle around 7 hours a week to keep my blood pumping, activate my lungs and activate my muscles. |

Again I ask, has this comment got any official validation? And trust a single word Michael Gove says is utterly stupid, the man is a slime ball who only has his own self serving arse to look out for.

It was dominic Raab that said it and he corrected himself and its 93%. As he was foreign secretary at the time has talking about testing arrivals at airports at the time and he got his figures mixed up. |

93%? 97%? They are false positives and a cabinet minister admitted it. People still went out and got poisoned.
More fool them. |

No you are not grasping it. He quoted some figures for airport arivals not that long into the pandemic from a PHE report. He is not very bright. He was actually talking about false negatives.At the time they were considering testing every traveller that came in to the country on arrival and it only picked up 7% of people who actually had covid,not false positives or negatives. I.e it didn't detect 93% of people who actually had covid. This was reduced to 12% if retested 5 days later. These were the rapid tests that were available at the time, not quite the same as the LFTs that came about later. |

How are you getting along at present as you're 3 weeks in from your original post.
Hope things have got better for you.
Just out of interest have you suffered any general joint pain or inflammation around your hip, pelvic region.
Stay well.  |

Feel free to read and requote the bits you want and ignore the bits of someone's post that you don't lol
Using the same logic, at the start of COVID 97% of people died after catching it |

Hey thanks for your concern.
It lasted a week with the exhaustion.
The 2nd week I'd have a day feeling okay then one quite tired.
I'm near enough right now but nothing other than usual flu symptoms |

Ahahahahahaha what a clown world we do live in. What a load of nonsense.
It didn't work the 1st 3 times so go get a 4th. Don't worry about vaccine fatigue that rocks your immune system making it easier to catch. Lasts about 10 weeks but you're walking a tight rope for 2 weeks as your immune system is all over the place. Book the 5th one in whilst you're there I'd say. Maybe the 6th too.
Vitamin D, iron, zinc, healthy food and exercise. Unvaccinated had covid for 2 days and only knew cos I had sweats one evening. Every friend I know had worse reactions to the jab and even worse reactions from covid. Naturally boosting your immune system is always far better.

"Or it could just be a bad cold of which there are many, none of which have any recommendations other than paracetamol?!"
Steroids (Pred) and Contac 4000, along with strepsils and saline rinses.
Prednisolone is a steroid that prevents the release of substances in the body that cause inflammation. Prednisolone is used to treat many different inflammatory conditions such as arthritis, lupus, psoriasis, ulcerative colitis, allergic disorders, gland (endocrine) disorders |

I caught it Just before coming home from a holiday. I felt exhausted and kept falling asleep. Nothing tasted right. Tested negative but got a mask to travel. Tested again still negative got home felt like a heavy summer cold sneezing running nose the works. And finally Teste positive. Fortunately a mild dose and a few days rest but I would not wish this on anyone. People think this is over its not. I don't think we need to lock down but we should not be taking this lightly.
