ill after covid

[Madbiker1]

I managed to get covid at new year - fever, hallucinations, headache. I was flattened for two weeks - only positive was losing weight due to no appetite.

Had breathing issues after two negative tests - asthma had been ok - but now I am blowing going up the stairs.

Went to the walk in centre - diagnosed with sinusitis and a chest infection. Antibiotics and steroids prescribed.

Once your health has gone life really isn't much fun.

So sorry to hear you're still struggling. Covid laid me flat, too. Have you seen a doctor to get your breathing checked or do a spirometry?

I went to walk in centre - nurse said I was very " crackly" and prescribed antibiotics and steroids. I have just done a spirometry - 450 after a couple of doses of steroids.

So frustrating. Not being able to breathe well is just the worst. It's something we do 22,000 times a day and as asthmatics being aware of every single breath is so draining! I so hope you're on the mend soon.
