Haa anyone else been suffering badly withethe latest covid virus. Constant nausea and fatigue. I've lost more weight. My heart beating irregular when I'm vomiting. Had to call an ambulance sunday. When they came they said I was better off at home as they are full of covid patients. This is miserable variant. Worse than the first

Sorry it's affecting you so badly. I had covid for the second time last December/ January. It was certainly worse than the first time and took me much longer to get over, but it was nothing like as bad as the way it's affecting you. Hope you're soon feeling better.

Oh that's awful I'm so sorry to hear 💔. Sounds like I have been feeling when I was sick my heart was beating really strange but after I was sick it calmed down after I had rested for a few hours. I'm not normally sick but this year i have felt so sick and actually been sick alot of times x. Hope you feel better soon.

I tested positive on June 19th. It wasn't too bad at all, I've had worse colds so I put it down to the fact I've had all vaccinations and booster apart from this spring's booster (too young 🤬). Two weeks later realised I had sinusitis which is just beginning to shift but I'm oh so tired. I often am and pace myself because of CFS but this is constant. I'm being patient and hoping to improve slowly. P

I'm like. I'm 72 but too young for spring booster. I have cfs too. The tiredness os overpowering. I can only walk a few steps then have to lie down. Your right I have to pace myself. Thanks

Ah, someone who understands. I wonder if our exhaustion now has anything to do with already having cfs 🤔. I'm so fed up, its the school holidays and I'm too knackered to drive to see them let alone help out by just being there. Hope you feel better soon. P

So sorry to hear you’ve got Covid again and that you’re feeling so poorly. A friend of mine has it and says it’s much worse than the last time she had it. I hope you’re soon feeling better.

Hi Toby. I had covid back in May. Tested positive on the 7th and negative on the 20th. Had antiotics and prednisone during the first week and another after I had tested negative- I took the prednisone but not the antibiotics because the mucous was clear.

It was not an experience I would want to repeat. Week one wasn’t too bad but week 2 was horrible- coughing from 4 n the morning till 11.

One thing struck me - everyone around me was done with it in about 5 days. Had a bit of a think and then wondered if I was keeping the infection going through not wiping down my inhalers after use.

It seems to affect people in different ways I suppose it could be dependant on your immunity. Rest up with plenty of fluids and hope this leaves you soon x
