Covid dragging on

mmg132
I never tested positive the whole time we went through lockdown I was so very careful and so where my fmily who where in my bubble.

Three weeks go I felt very fluey & so tired but a test proved negative,on the Thursday of that week I collapsed and rushed to Hospital where I was retested and found to have Covid & Phuemonia I remember nothing of the following week whilst in Hospital and am now on my 3rd lot of antibotics I feel tired and have a bad cold also my friend has had long Covid (which sounds as though you have) for nearly 12 mths I can only suggest you get loads of rest & sleep.

Thanks for your reply. Sounds like something I’ll have to live with for a while.
Sorry to hear about your experience, hope things improve for you soon.

Just a reminder to people that haven’t had a pneumonia vaccine to get it done. You only need to have it done once. It obviously doesn’t cover every pneumonia but it’s better than nothing.

People vary a lot but I found my fatigue and cold symptoms gradually diminished over a month. I had Covid at the beginning of September. Hope you feel better soon.

Thanks hope I’m better by Christmas!

I had COVID last September, before I had fully recovered from a svere bacterial infection. I wasn't very ill during it but felt flat and dragged down until after Christmas.

COVID finally got me a week ago, I’d had a lovely week in Malta with my daughter and 3 days back and bang down I went. I hope the fatigue I’m suffering doesn’t last for too long. First day today of feeling a tiny bit better. I’ve lived on porridge for a week and have no appetite.

I'm just over a second bout. This one, touch wood, wasn't as bad as the first one, last year but I don't want to speak too soon!

I think planes are one of the biggest culprits tanith. We went to my son's wedding in New Zealand last year and virtually every guest who came from abroad came down with Covid. Luckily most arrived a few days/weeks early, so were recovered for the wedding.

Like you Poppyred had it twice once, last year just a cold type week and then this autumn after getting back from holiday, again just a cold quite minor It s amazing how different it is treating different people
