covid finally got me but I don't feel too bad

Just wanted to let you all know that, for years now, I've been dreading catching covid because it affects everyone so differently, being immunosuppressed, I was scared of the unknown.

Anyway, I'm surprised it took me this long, but covid finally got me! I've felt worse, my body aches, I'm tired and sleeping lots but I'd say I was ok. This could be the mild strain but to say I'm relieved is an understatement. I was always more exposed being a secondary school teacher and having 2 young children, and I was always battling keeping safe and living a normal life again....so here it is, it's not all doom and gloom. Hopefully I'm building up lots of antibodies! Xx

That’s not good news you caught it but glad you’re not suffering too much. Did you have the antivirals?

No I didn't. Nhs have been brilliant, they've been in contact offering help and oximeters, but i didn't feel it was necessary x

Thanks for sharing. Very helpful and reassuring - especially after today's comment on the Today programme this morning by an expert that the largest group dying from Covid-19 now are the immunosuppressed!!

I'm ok thanks. Back to normal but still testing positive. Because I didn't feel too bad, I didn't feel the need for it x
