  • I’ve got Covid at the moment, the first time for me. 

    I’ve had shingles for the past 2 weeks and felt really unwell with it.  I had one solitary day of feeling well on Saturday and went out and about and did quite a bit and then felt really washed out on Sunday.  On Monday I started feeling a bit bunged up with a sore throat, followed yesterday by coughing, headache and fever.  I did a Covid test this morning which showed a very dark positive line.  I can’t believe it, after being ill with shingles.  I’m never normally ill so this has knocked me for six!!

  • So sorry to hear that @CatDouch … I hope you’re back to normal very soon. Do try to rest as much as you can. ☕️ 🍪

    @Nanny Beach If your temperature really is above 39.4, you need to seek advice.  Take paracetamol or ibuprofen,  bathe with tepid water. That high a temperature needs to be taken seriously. 

    @punkdoc any other advice?

    Phone 111.
    If any further deterioration, you need to go to A@E.
    Good luck.

  • Thanks folks,will re test today. The battery ran out in the thermometer last night, don't have any that size. Will pack hubby off to buy some. I did take extra strength paracetamol with caffeine.. trouble is, I have a hiatus hernia,so get dreadful heartburn, and am feeling nauseous. I forced down a table spoon of yogurt for this one. Sats were fine 97% , otherwise I probably would have done 111.
  • positive people, changed instantly!
  • Temp was down to 38c this morning pre-analgesia
  • I was wondering how you were @Nanny Beach At least you now know why you’re feeling so awful, welcome to the Covid club 😞 Hope you’ll feel better soon.

    My youngest daughter said "welcome to the club" as well I told her to Foxtrot Alfa. Luckily she knows I'm joking! Other granny has asthma and said the first time was the worst, daughter said the same.CatDouch same to you. I was offered a shingles jab, just as I was having the first Covid jab,so I didn't have it..I was 100% sure this was going to be Covid.
