Covid and fibro.

these two things should never meet. 5 days of h**l so far even with 2 vaccines. you good folks need to re-double your efforts to avoid this at all cost's. the virus almost immediately fire's up all of your favourite flare points and turns any kind of recovery into a full blown battle of attrition. I felt I needed to make a frontline report you stay safe.

Tell me about it…! I went through it last year, it was like a h**l 🥲 what would help is some movement around the house, don’t stay still, I hope you get better soon xx

That sounds horrible Cannon, and I'm so sorry you're feeling so terrible 🥺

I've been lucky enough to not have caught it yet, but I think it's only a matter of time until I do, especially as I'm NHS patient facing, though thankfully in the community rather than in a hospital setting

😬

I hope you feel better soon.

🤞

Thank you cannonbk3 for helping to remind us Fibro Warriors to stay safe! I tested positive for Covid last week as it’s rife at my sons’ school. It’s been h**l. I can’t stress enough how grateful I am to be vaccinated, although I won’t be able to get the booster for another 4 weeks now, I think. Please, please follow the guidance. Luckily restrictions here in Scotland are a bit tighter so I’ll be sticking to them. I never want to catch this virus again. Please don’t underestimate it!

Hi cannonbk3 so sorry to hear that you have been feeling so ill. I hope you have a speedy recovery. Luckily I haven't yet had Covid, and had my booster a few weeks ago. I have been trying to stay safe as I have COPD as well as Fibromyalgia. Hope you feel better very soon, and that you can have a good Christmas.
