Week 4 of covid

Jump to newest

Iceland, but Aldi is closer..

I am four weeks in since my symptoms first appeared.

I'm not sure I have long covid as 4 weeks doesn't feel long enough; I'm calling it mid life Covid.

I still have the persistent cough and severe shortness of breath if I do even mild activity.

I'm permanently exhausted, I'm constantly tired and no matter how much sleep I have, the fatigue never leaves.

I have also discovered that my allergy, hayfever in this case, has become quite reactive to the things I'm allergic to.

"Brain fog" is a fairly new symptom, I am unable to concentrate on work and remember some detail from one day to the next.

I get flareups of the symptoms with joint and muscle pain infrequent but very intense, a sore throat which comes and goes and chest pain which varies innintensity from noticeable to bloody painful.

All the symptoms can last a short time or hours on end and come on with no warning.

I still have no sense of smell, this is a godsend when the kitten uses the litter tray. My sense of taste comes and goes; orange squash still tastes putrid and coffee tastes unpleasantly bitter.

In conclusion, I have never suffered with anything previously that has had such a profound and negative lasting effect on me and has changed my life quite as drastically as Covid has.

No, I am a key worker.

I returned to work last week working shorter hours and working from home.

Yes I found the exhaustion difficult to deal with that lasted for a long time after all the other symptoms went for me. Only really the last month or so have I felt more normal levels of tiredness and I had COVID about 9 months ago. Hope you feel better soon.

It is..

Cannot drink coffee and I have not had a gin and tonic since before I was ill..

Had a very small glass of red wine last night, for medicinal purposes obviously and the first alcoholic drink in weeks. I woke in the night having palpitations, I'm guessing brought about by the alcohol.

So not only has it made me ill, he bugger has taken away the few pleasures i had left during the lockdown.

On the upside, it's saved me a fortune and means I don't have the weekly trip to the bottle bank...

Every cloud has a silver lining!!

Thanks for the heads up..

I'll look forward to the next 8 months..(written tongue in cheek and not sarcastically)

I am 3 weeks in. Like yourself I have good days and bad. Today is a bad day. My chest is killing me. I am out of breath just talking.

I went back to work on Monday of this week. I am a nurse and I am finding the recovery exhausting. I have always been a fit and healthy person doing regular exercise. I have no underlying medical conditions. At this moment in time any form of exertion just knocks me back by days! I cannot even begin to think about doing any exercise. I want to get back to running. I just want to feel "normal" again.

The fatigue aspect is infuriating, as it almost seems to defy what you could expect. Having a night's sleep that, for all intents and purposes, may never have happened. Just taking things in a measured way is my coping mechanism. I plan for and do less and pace myself slowly. And resist going mad if I feel bursts of energy, as it invariably knocks me back
