With your issues should you not phone 111 for advice?

So basically I've to wait a day or two and if symptoms get worse, have to phone back. No wonder folk just turn up at the doctors/hospital. My wife is here incase I need to get wherever it is I need to get to sharpish.

Hope you're ok fella

Both my wife and myself displaying most of the symptoms. I had no idea that mental confusion might be experienced! The other day trying to make coffee I inexplicably threw out the coffee pod and put milk in the water holder. Was pretty weird.

I've almost totally recovered. My wife however partially recovers and then suffers other symptoms.

It most definitively feels like a novel virus. If you eventually catch it you will understand.

It's like its probing at all an individual's weak spots in a bid to gain control.

I think I might have it. Gutted if I do as not been out the house since Saturday night except a doctors appointment on Tuesday. Other than doctor I've only been in contact with my wife and kids so had hoped it had passed me by. I've a weak immune system along with heart and kidney problems so if this is what it's like on day one, I could be in trouble.

Hopefully things will pick up for you soon. Hang in there.👍

Take care, DH. Hopefully it eases pretty quickly and you either don't have it, or only experience a mild version!

We've got a family friend who's 10 days post-diagnosis (confirmed, as she was in hospital getting bloods done for something else and presented two of the symptoms). We were all pretty worried, as she's severely immunocompromised (undergoing chemotherapy for the nth time, prone to fluid on the lungs). She was utterly hellish with it from days 1 to 8, but is slowly starting to improve.

It's so good to hear that it looks like shes beating it. We never hear these stories, especially from someone with really serious health conditions. Because of the reporting it's easy to assume if you have underlying conditions you won't survive it. I hope she continues to improve, shes sounds like a tough one

She's similar to a former poster on here (sure he won't mind me naming him, as his story was in the papers when we did the Hibs.Net longest day of golf charity event) - Lawrence (I haven't seen him in a while on here and can't remember his username, shamefully!). She's had cancer in excess of 12 times now and keeps fighting back and beating it. She said at the start of being diagnosed with this, that she was more scared of this than any of her previous cancer diagnoses, partly because of the unknown and partly because of the media hype.

We feared the worst post-diagnosis, but it's great to see her turning a bit of a corner in the past few days.

I remember Lawrence well from his posts. I've had cancer twice now, finished chemo at the end of last year, ended up with multiple blood clots in both lungs and really struggled to breath but I have to say I'm more scared of this virus Her story has really given me a boost and hope.. Thanks for sharing it .

His username is houchy, top guy that I have sadly lost touch with. He’s not been online here for a good while.

[HH81]

I was really poorly since early sat morning. Started off woke up with a cough, was then sick. Temp was roasting one min to cold and shivering the next. Fatigue set in with aches all over, by last night I could hardly walk the stairs to bed.

Managed to sleep for few hours, feel slightly better. Still got cough and feel as if I have been hit all over with a small hammer but the can walk about better.

If this is a different illness and the virus is worse I do not fancy getting it.

Lawrence Stewart. I saw him a season or so ago at a game. Still around

[Just_Jimmy]

I've had a tacky throat and today I woke up stuffy and glutty. I've not other symptoms and I'm healthy. My issue is I'm a key worker and I really don't want to take any chances of compromising others but at the same I don't want to go off now if I don't have.

What I have I wouldn't normally even think about as more than a tiny bit sniffles.

Crap dilemma to be in. I'm off til Tuesday anyway so I'll see how I feel tomorrow.

My cough was not constant had it for 3/4 days now with phlegm and runny nose no temp so for me just a run of the mill job.

[Tobias Funke]

I’ve posted about my mum and her diagnosis on the main Coronavirus thread in this sub forum. Please read if anyone wants more info on this virus, I think it’s important people know this illness has different ways of affecting folks.

[Jay]

Hows everybody doing now?

[patch1875]

My 80yo uncle was admitted to hospital with a fever, confirmed he had Covid19. That’s as bad as it got paracetamol kept the fever at bay and no other symptoms materialised he was told today he no longer has it and will be going home.

Strange how much it affects different people he has many health issues but not lungs or heart.

Great to hear, and thanks for sharing

[Bangkok Hibby]

This thread has gone quiet. I sincerely hope anyone who posted and had symptoms is OK/recovereing

[HH81]

I ended up in hospital spent some time on a machine but managed to beat it. Came home couple of weeks ago.

Funny enough I can't even remember my post above but I did reply on another thread.

When I think back I was so lucky.

Glad to hear you are in the mend buddy.

One of the girls who works for me list her Gran last weekend to COVID-19.

She was in a care home, felt a bit crook on Friday, tested, went downhill on Saturday, admitted to hospital and then dies on the Sunday.

Pretty rapido.

Just after I got my positive result I want on to the ward. A few hours later I went downhill and ended up with a mask over my head quite quickly. Luckily I came round a few days later and was back on oxygen through my nose before they got me off it.

Not sure I've had / have it, as I've not been tested. This week however, I have had the strangest illness Monday and Tuesday.

Started with severe fatigue, stomach issues, nausea on Monday morning. Progressed into a headache and chills later on with palpitations (possible anxiety) and stinging eyes. Paracetamol seemed to help big time and then rarely, a dose would do nothing. It felt like this hit me in waves throughout the day (maybe the painkillers did less of a job than I thought)

Yesterday, same symptoms except cold and flu tablets did their job in the morning and I was fine until 3pm, then had to go for a lie down. Sweats, freezing hands and feet, a pain in my kidney sporadically, my throat was getting sore and felt swollen, along with my lymph nodes.

Felt convinced I had it by last night when all of a sudden, I just started to feel better.

After a sweaty, broken sleep I feel ok today but still have a slight stomach ache. I may even stretch to no paracetamol and a home cooked meal instead of freezer food after work (from home).

Clearly, it's been a strange and worrying couple of days and this may be related to an entirely different bug / made worse through the anxious times we're living in, but I thought that I'd contribute here just as a way of sharing the experience for anyone possibly going through the same.

I still feel like I might cycle again through symptoms but today is a definite improvement. There will be no walk or workout again for me; but tomorrow is a possibility if things continue to improve.

No cough and only a scratchy, swollen throat. There's a lot of US based folks on reddit claiming a similar mixed bag of symptoms.

Scratch that, I probably shouldn't leave the house until the 7th day!

Yep 7 days isolation. Might be worth a call to the helpline as they may test you.

Dont mean to worry you but thought I would add my thoughts.

When I was ill, some days were better than others so I would feel alright again and then the following day it would be back very poorly. Just keep an eye on it.

Thanks for the advice. I'll keep an eye on it.

That certainly falls in-line with the waves / cycling of illness that I've been feeling.

Was there anything in particular that pointed you towards requiring hospital treatment? I live alone and have been trying to balance being realistic about my chances of a decent and quick recovery with not wanting to leave something too late to ask for help.
