Genie Posted December 29, 2022 Share Posted December 29, 2022 (edited) 37 minutes ago, NurembergVillan said: Well it finally got me, the word removed. Got a sore throat middle of Christmas and was in bed Boxing Day in a lot of pain across all my muscles and my head. Eased off a bit last two days but still coughing, dizzy, short of breath etc so finally did a test and it was the most confident positive I've ever seen. Annoyed at myself for not testing straight away as I've been in contact with people since getting ill. Previously I've been testing every time I get a cold. I guess that's what happens when they charge a tenner a pop for the tests. £1.49 at Boots and B&M (hope you’re feeling better soon!)

I'd still got a couple of NHS issue ones at home but was holding onto them to avoid moving onto paid alternatives. Sort of an "I'll save them until I definitely have Covid" vibe. I'm a div sometimes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had the opposite problem today where I could feel stirring in my gut but no turd was forthcoming. Luckily it turns out hardly anyone flies on New Year's day morning so I could go hiding for fairly long periods. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genie Posted February 7, 2023 Share Posted February 7, 2023 I was just in my team meeting and our boss mentioned he has covid and flashed his covid test at the camera. One chap in India asked what it was as he’d never seen a test like that before He said they don’t have those in India. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foreveryoung Posted February 7, 2023 Share Posted February 7, 2023 Thought I'd finally succumbed to it the weekend, did a test, negative.

Genie Posted February 7, 2023 Share Posted February 7, 2023 My boy has had sore throat, tiredness and all over aches since Saturday morning. The test Saturday night was negative but not done any others. It is what it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's weird because they certainly have them across the border in Nepal and the markets normally look pretty similar. At least half the stock in a typical Nepali phamarcy is normally imported from India. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not only had he not used one, he hadn’t even seen one… maybe he’s been living under a rock for 3 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davkaus Posted February 9, 2023 Share Posted February 9, 2023 I have an appointment at a pharmacy tomorrow and have been sent this email Quote Please arrive just in time for your appointment time, to avoid having to wait too long in and around the pharmacy. You’ll be asked to wait in a waiting area where chairs will be spaced two metres apart, to maintain social distancing. Your appointment may take a little longer than previous appointments as staff will need extra time between appointments to clean the consultation room and change their PPE. Please also: Bring your own pen Please come to your appointment alone if possible. Wear a short sleeved top if you’ll be having a vaccination Wear a face mask or covering during your consultation. You can bring your own or use a face mask provided by the pharmacy. The pharmacist will also be wearing a face mask. I'm desperately hoping at this point that they still haven't bothered changing their email comms rather than them still actually working like this. But I'm still asked to wait outside in the pissing rain at the vets instead of in the massive waiting area, which at this point I can only assume is because the staff enjoy the peace and quiet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fightoffyour Posted February 9, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted February 9, 2023 Something had changed in one of the local shops yesterday, couldn't quite put my finger on it... Ah, the protective screens at the cashiers were gone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonesy7211 Posted February 23, 2023 Share Posted February 23, 2023 My 5 year old daughter has Covid for a second time. Tested positive this morning, with symptoms starting last night. Much worse this time around, she's in been bed crying in pain most of the time. It's really knocked her for six. Last time she had it it was no worse than a cold. I've still not had it yet, although I think I'll be getting it soon as I've been off with her the last few days whilst the misses has been in work.

markavfc40 Posted March 31, 2023 Share Posted March 31, 2023 (edited) Went to Spain for 8 nights last Wednesday and on the Monday/Tuesday started to feel a bit rough/run down and congested but put it down to a few late nights and too much drinking and also thought that I may have caught a cold. Got home yesterday and still felt rough so took one of the covid tests still knocking about the house (my wife is a nurse so was given them some time ago) and both me and my wife have tested positive. I feel bad having flown home unknowingly having it but this is the second time we have both had it (first time Oct 21) but this time symptoms have been different and more cold like being congested/bunged up where as previously I had it a lot worse as it totally wiped me out.

Exactly the same for me the only time I had it. I was in Spain, last full day and I felt really tired. Morning of travelling home it felt like a cold, my nose was blocked solid. I really didn’t think it was covid but the wife insisted I did a test when we got home and it was positive. No cough, no loss of smell or taste, no real high temperature… just a blocked nose.

mjmooney Posted March 31, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted March 31, 2023 I've had a succession of irritating head colds this winter. Haven't covid tested recently. Perhaps I should. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
