eddoakley Posted July 8, 2021 Report Share Posted July 8, 2021 Woke up feeling ok. 10 minutes later aches, shivers, sweats.... Spent the whole day sleeping on the sofa and have just checked temp, 40.4 is apparently pretty warm!? Haven't been able to move all day and am only just coming around a bit having taken some strong pain killers. Hopefully that's passed as I don't fancy another day of that!

Nhs call suggests chest infection. Temp down to 38.5 but can't breathe this morning so that seems likely. Going to docs this morn for about the 3rd time in 15 years. Must be bad.

yates Posted July 9, 2021 Report Share Posted July 9, 2021 You should be self isolating. I can’t believe that your GP is suggesting that you visit the surgery as you might infect others Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest cookoff013 Posted July 9, 2021 Report Share Posted July 9, 2021 Can someone drop him a test? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob85 Posted July 9, 2021 Report Share Posted July 9, 2021 If you know anyone who works in contact services or a school near you give them a shout and see if someone can drop you round a lateral flow test if you can't get out to do the PCR test. Fingers crossed its just a wee fever/bug thing, there's quite a lot of that at the minute with restrictions easing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mungler Posted July 9, 2021 Report Share Posted July 9, 2021 It’s going to be Covid - it’s flying around everywhere right now, but because of the vaccination roll out, the link between rising cases and rising mortality rates appears to have been broken (for those who have had the vaccine, obviously). If you are sufficiently old / unwell to really warrant your taking the vaccine but you choose not to because you / the bloke off You Tube knows better, well crack on but be a dear and don’t give it to anyone else or trouble the NHS to fix you up.

My son and his mother have had a chest infection. My mother had a negative test 2 days ago after she's had the same symptoms as me for a few days. Doctors have prescribed antibiotics for a chest infection (telephone appointment). Not everything is covid! We are allowed to be ill with other things still.

39TDS Posted July 9, 2021 Report Share Posted July 9, 2021 If it kills you it will be written down as covid though. (get well soon) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely a cheat infection isn’t contagious? when I had it 18 months ago I thought it was a chest infection and was put on steroids as covid wasn’t announced until a month later Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edd Lad in work was exactly the same, he'd turned in work then started feeling a bit rough, gone home after doing a rapid test and woken up 4hrs later after having a lie down, high temp and everyone said it'll be covid. But it wasn't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WalkedUp Posted July 13, 2021 Report Share Posted July 13, 2021 My son and nephew have both been ill with usual covid symptoms, I strongly suspected that it wasn’t covid due to their young age and the presentation. Both negative PCR and both diagnosed independently with a viral croup infection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arjimlad Posted July 13, 2021 Report Share Posted July 13, 2021 A couple of weeks ago, my boys (18 & 20) both had a nasty chest infection thing, coughing etc, feeling tired and unfit for work. Both tested negative on a PCR test though and the whole family had negative lateral flow tests throughout. There are some nasty bugs about, and after being isolated for a while our natural immunity to these things is perhaps not what it would normally be. Hope you feel better soon Edd !
