Hu, sorry you are feeling so poorly, I didn’t have Covid myself, but my Son started off with a bad back, sore throat, kept testing neg,

Then positive, few days later neg

then just a week before Xmas, tested positive, again bad cough and phlegm, it he didn’t feel ill, just like he had a heavy cold.

I don’t know what or how antibiotics are going to work, but I hope they find the right ones for you soon

thank you for your reply blue 52 my chest is on fire and tummy, painful to pee too the suspect infection. 🙏

Ouch, sometimes a 1/2 teaspoon of baking powder, in water can help ease the pain to pee. 🌈

Yes I had it and although I became negative early on I still felt quite ill. I developed a very chesty cough, phlegm and head congestion . Sometimes a very sore throat too. I’m in my 5th week of this. I am getting a bit better but so many people have this at the moment and it’s taking a long time to shift. I had one lot of antibiotics which didn’t really do anything so I assume it’s just viral.

hi geeforce99, im 4 days positive with covid. Started 4 days before that with really sore throat & negative. Got horrible cough with phlegm now. When i do anything i feel shattered after. This is the 4th time ive had covid now and each time it wipes me out and takes weeks to get back to normal.

After struggling since early December with struggling to breath fully and being totally exhausted, high temp, generally feeling awful finally ended up in hospital for tests and the consultant told me they were convinced it was covid despite testing negative for the whole month. Apparently old tests aren’t picking up new variants. Starting to come out the other side 5 weeks later but is a long haul

hi Field 007

Thank you for your reply and glad to hear you’re improving, did you have the covid vaccination recently? It does not seem to protect us folk with autoimmune issues.
