Mr.C Posted December 22, 2021 Report Share Posted December 22, 2021 Tested poss 28th Nov with a bit of a cold. No sore throat no cough. Felt sinussy and had a bloodshot eye for a couple of days. After a week I noticed that I couldn't smell volatile stuff but coffee food etc OK. Still had to isolate 5 days after cold went. Wondering if I picked up one of early omicron cases. Commuter trains were cramming again and 50% mask wearing in London at the time. Recon that's we're I got it. Thankfully no one I came into contact with tested poss.

Yes, myself on Boxing Day, owing to my sats' (oxygen saturation levels) being low. I spent 6 hours being looked after by wonderful NHS staff, and was allowed home later, once the levels were acceptable. 33 minutes ago, Mice! said: Our smell & taste is back now, so for us it was a week to ten days.

Only that would tell you if it is or not Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it was Covid then I would have expected it to show up on a LFT if your doing it right, but I wouldn't expect the symptoms to last three weeks, could it be regular Flu? Probably best to do a PCR wait for the results then if it's clear call your doctor, but it's going to be Xmas eve when you get your results.

When I had covid in january/February, I had to stay off work for a month . I wasn't feeling as ill after the first two weeks , but I still had symptoms. The medical advice was , if you've still got symptoms then you've still got it. At the time , I was under the impression that after ten days(as that was the isolation period) , you were clear of covid . Pretty stupid of me really, but at the time my brain was just in a fog.

henry d Posted December 22, 2021 Report Share Posted December 22, 2021 2 hours ago, Newbie to this said: Lockdowns have ruined our immune systems 2 hours ago, ShootingEgg said: This I agree with . Really, how? I've had one three day sniffle, wife didn't get it, nor did my daughter, partner, granddaughter. Daughter has had a cold for a few days, partner and baby haven't, nor have we. Granddaughter has had a cold and no one else has. Sounds like we have had a "usual" winter. My wife and I have been out to bars and restaurants, I go to the rugby, daughter's partner has his own business and travels across the country, his workers do as they want and/or conform to the gov procedures in their own lives. No mumps, measles, HIV, scarlet fever, TB, ricketts....😜 Immunity to suggestion... Yeah probably! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
