I've had my jab today @fidgetbones and have also put my card in a safe place
That’s great news 👍
Having read the updated list of symptoms on the Zoe website I am more than ever absolutely convinced that the awful cough, tight chest and general lurgy I had starting in Dec 19 (caught from someone who’d just come back from the Far East) was Covid 19 ... the description of the long Covid back, shoulder and muscle pains, tingling and pins & needles that I had through spring and summer match up exactly to the description.
OH had it about ten days after I first had symptoms and looked absolutely awful, and my son visited us and was had a high temperature and cough for about 4 days and frr et it like death for a couple of weeks.
So we all had it before almost anyone knew it existed ... although I had to visit the Surgery in late Feb for my usual checkup and when I told the nurse I’d been coughing for a couple of months and that my chest had been so tight it squeaked when I lay down at night. She looked alarmed and had a good listen and said it wasn’t congested ... but that was nearly 12 weeks after I was first poorly.

We thought we had it late Feb (sore throat and cough) and had weird symptoms sporadically (rash on legs, purple toes), but OH had an antibody test in the summer. Either we didn't get it bad enough to make antibodies, or we didn't get it, or the test was rubbish.
I know lots of people who think they had it last Christmas and several members of my family had similar symptoms but this article suggests that what we all had was a different virus.
There is so much we don’t know about this virus. Don’t forget that many viruses can make us very unwell, have unusual symptoms and can give after effects. Most people didn’t believe about post viral syndromes until COVID either.
What I omitted to mention was that in early January I had an email from the person who I think passed it to me.
She said that the day after we met up she was taken quite ill with what her doctor said was a sort of bronchial pneumonia ... by the time was she was feeling better four of her friends had died ... all in hospital from conditions described as heart and breathing problems or pneumonia... none had been unwell when she’d met up with them at the end of November.
I also experienced the ‘strange smell’ symptom throughout the spring and summer.

Just learned that one of my friends from my old ward and my oldest daughters' best friend who is on the district both have the virus, are pretty ill, both 50, white and no underlying health issues.Back in February Hubby had what seemed at first a cold, then ahces pains,headaches, and lost his taste, his idea of a spicy meal was a Korma, now he eats pretty hot chilli, at that time my youngest daughter and her bloke got a cough lasting a couple of months. March my oldest son felt very unwell, high temp aches pains, then my youngest son, (they had not been in conact with one another for months) had the same symptoms and said he felt exhausted, again a couple of days. In the summer my eldest daughter, cough,high temp, aches pains very week, she is 50 no underlying health issues, could hardly get up the stairs.

Whitty giving away that we are months off relaxing the rules I think.
