I've had this week booked off work to have a long break only to test positive for covid last Friday. Its the first time I've had it and it's absolutely floored me.

Yeah .I've had constant nausea for over a week now along with the usual symptoms, body aches, fever, bad head and chest. Seems so much worse in the mornings for some reason.

commonly Posted December 26, 2023 Author Report Share Posted December 26, 2023 Get well soon gents. Have u tested for Covid?? I know a few people say they have had it recently (confirmed with tests). '6 week cold' is a term I hear a bit, but I've had it on and off for well over 6 weeks. I wake up all full of snot, then around 3-5pm I start loosing my voice???

Golden Paws Posted December 26, 2023 Report Share Posted December 26, 2023 Yes, I'm just getting over that cold after 3 weeks and plenty of people I know have had it as well. I had Covid a few years ago at the final lockdown and that was a piece of cake compared to this one (I was treble jabbed, so that probably helped.)

Today is the first day I feel like I've turned the corner, still very weak and full of a head cold though. Must admit I've not had the last 2 jabs but had the first 3.

... Posted December 26, 2023 Report Share Posted December 26, 2023 I've not had a single positive yet, son n wife have and rest of family but not me. Wife works for NHS in local hospital, also the local outpatient centre and various doctors around wigan.....so whatever injection she has/had, I've also had. But I also think I have a good immune system, also my line of work is outdoors. B B and commonly 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B B Posted December 26, 2023 Report Share Posted December 26, 2023 Iv been lucky with not getting Covid so far, hang on a min got to touch some wood, but I work on my own mostly and don’t come into contact with a lot of people. A landlord I work for has had Covid 3 times this year twice on holiday to the Le Mans race + Florida and last month.
