"Weather full on or mild cases, did it leave you muscular pain? Covid got me last Wednesday. Had the itchy red eyes, and muscle pain all over my body, and the baddest headache ever, even worse than my worst ever migraine. Since it’s all died down, I’m coughing for “England” or should that be Scotland? It’s also triggered my asthma. But I’ve got very bad back pain at the back of my pelvis, hips & thighs. Anyone else had similar " Nothing like that for me. Cal | |||

I have just been chilling since as I am told long covid comes when you try to over do things too early. X " The very first day from testing I had a banging headache, muscle pain from neck, shoulders, top of arms, back, pelvis, hips, thighs and ankles, could literally feel it working it’s way down, when I went to bed I was frozen, couldn’t get warm, so put on my winter blanket. Slowly the pain went but the pelvis, hips & front of thighs have remained. I also have asthma so that’s been triggered again. But weirdly I haven’t actually felt ill. Long Covid is when the symptoms last longer than they should, but doing too much too soon never helps. I’m on regular painkillers anyway so I’ve had to double them, as can’t take likes of paracetamol | |||

"Long covid usually appears a few weeks/months after. Between 1-3months. It looks like i have long covid, my symptoms are anxiety, dodgy tummy and back ache. Not everyone gets breathlessness. My sister had covid in April 2020 and is still suffering " I have a friend who has long Covid, she manages with a nap mid afternoon sometimes starting at 11am. | |||

Anyone else had similar " I only suffered a bit of a snotty nose and a cough, no real issues. My husband the same during positive testing. A week or so later terrible joint pains especially in neck, hip, pelvic region and fingers. Pain killers, trips to physio and loads of exercise. Took about 2 - 3 months to ease, not fully better but, for him, exercise and getting back to work is the key to relief. Hope you get better. | |||

"Covid causes inflammation, so there's a mechanism that could influence the development of back pain. I recollect that omicron has been locked to people reporting lower back pain, so it seems feasible that new pain, or resurgence of earlier problems, could follow a covid infection. It's worth digging further into new research evidence. Hope you get to feel some relief soon OP. " Thanks. I did mention to dr, she says she’s never heard of anyone being affected by muscular pain with Covid (I don’t believe her) oh well double painkillers it is since I can’t take anything else | |||

"I had it the October before the vaccine’s came out and I still suffer…I don’t take normal headaches anymore it’s still the sharp/jaggy type, I have eye sight problems, bowel problems, I can ache from head to toe, I get very tired and I still get the burning smell every now and again. " That sounds awful, sorry to hear that. Do you take extra Vitamin D capsules? They might help with the fatigue | |||

"I have it at moment 10 days inn 2nd time around its bad every symptom from the list near enough as long as im not back to square one again with long covid ill cope and no im not jabbed my own defence thought off the first time i caught it and is doing the same this time...just wish people would stop Being so complacent about covid and the simple things like use hand sanitiser its going to kick off big time again and faster glastonbury and the festivals " You have it a second time and you’re 10 days in? I had it as it says at the top, that was 2weeks ago now, I was better after 5 days, you’re on day 10… I’d say your immune system isn’t coping that well if you’re still ill. If you have already had long Covid, I’d reckon there’s a good chance you’ll get long Covid again. Be a better idea to have the vaccines than trust your weakened immune system unless you’re taking supplements to back up your immune system? | |||

I know there’s ‘naysayers’ out there, I ‘knew’ one guy who refused to believe the hype, he has COPD himself, never wore any masks, refused to believe it was anything more than just another strain of flu, (maybe it effectively is, buts it’s a very new strain that even now no one knows exactly how it’s going to go in the future) I reckon if I’d had it in the beginning it could have taken me down quite seriously, may not have killed me, but I believe I’d be a lot worse than I am now because I managed to avoid it. It's likened to the flu (as are colds) but isn't a flu virus. Corona viruses do cause colds and it appears this virus is heading that way since mutations are causing increased transmissibility and decreased severity. This was foretold by virologists in the early days. That doesn't mean it won't cause future fatalities just much fewer. No it’s not a “flu virus” it’s a brand new virus hence no one knows how it’s going to play out" I'll trust the virologists in this. | |||

"Had it Jan 21, one day fine doing everything normal next day ICU and given 20% chance of making the next day. Had a CPAP Mask strapped to me left bruises for 2 months after it was off. Without that pure O2 pumping into me I would be dead. It cleared my lungs and that saved me from any long covid effects thankfully Lost 3 stone in 10 days, Took a year to get taste back for Beer, everything else was fine just Beer, but now I can drink Whiskey without getting d*unk, mad side affect costly too LOL All good had 3 jabs going to get 4th, and enjoying life Deep Breathing exercises cleaning out lungs is key to recovery.

"All had it twice here. First time was between jabs 2 and 3 and the last time was when fully vaccinated. Second time was worse than the first and still haven't fully recovered sense of taste or smell and various other issues. One strange thing is at each time the injection jab site seemed to flair up as if being attacked?" Probably just a mild reaction for the jab. I didn’t have any reactions to the first two vaccines (both AZ) the booster was Pfizer and had a reaction that went down my arm, over my shoulder and half my chest! All very red and itchy, I’ll no be having Pfizer again! Symptoms of Covid, I had the headache, aching muscles, cough, but kept my sense of smell & taste. But it was a mild dose, maybe that makes a difference? | |||

"Nope ill-stick with my own body system jabs dont work i know people jabbed so many time and still get it....so that says a lot...10 years go by thats probably 50 jabs a person by then" You do realise that no body ever said that having the vaccines won’t stop anyone from getting Covid? The vaccines stop you from getting it so badly that you’d possibly end up in hospital on machines & oxygen. My sister had Covid last year, no vaccines she ended up in hospital on oxygen for a week. I had it 2 weeks ago, I’ve been jabbed, I have asthma, yes it triggered my asthma, but I still didn’t have to go into hospital. That, says a lot. | |||

"Weather full on or mild cases, did it leave you muscular pain? Covid got me last Wednesday. Had the itchy red eyes, and muscle pain all over my body, and the baddest headache ever, even worse than my worst ever migraine. Since it’s all died down, I’m coughing for “England” or should that be Scotland? It’s also triggered my asthma. But I’ve got very bad back pain at the back of my pelvis, hips & thighs. Anyone else had similar " Yep. Both times, everything ached. Just like really bad flu!! Joints, muscles were really bad and this last time, really intense headache above left ear! I do suffer with arthritis though so maybe that exacerbated the aches and pains. Just not a nice experience and left me bedded down for a week both times. Learned first time round not to overdo it too early once negative. | |||

"Day 11 and im testing negative at last Whey still got a tickle throat and fatigue And lack of taste smell but my immune system has worked again and sorted it....one thing i did different this time was i took no paracetamol to see if it made any difference but then last time i had it months so cant say " You know it’s entirely your choice if you want the vaccine or not, and you’ve chosen not too, but the fact you’re finally testing negative at day 11, says a lot. I was testing negative on day 7. At 2 weeks I felt loads better - aside from the back pain, but double painkillers are helping that. 4 weeks on I’m feel fine. Cough is going, breathing is back to normal (asthma) as for lack of taste, that didn’t happen with me. Also you have to remember not everyone’s immune system is healthy, and it’s these people who need the vaccines, even if they don’t last as long as was first thought, any protection for these people is a life saver, but that doesn’t mean these people won’t get Covid, or even die from it. But every time you have Covid, it’s weakening your immune system not strengthening it. | |||
