2nd bout of Covid in 5 months! Completely different and worse symptoms this time around, feel rubbish but at least fingers crossed it will be over by Christmas.

6 vaccinations so far, thank goodness I did if I feel this bad. 🥺😷Anyway wishing you all a happy and healthy Christmas x

Have you been given the anti viral medication?If not , Take care , rest , drink lots , plenty of Vitamin C and paracetamol try the breathing exercises once an hour , if you put COVID Breathing exercise into Google it will come up as a video on YouTube, if you haven't done them before.

That really helped my OH steer clear of hospital.

Unfortunately, lots of people whom get a mild COVID infection first time round , get it again and it's usually worse the second time around.

Hope you do feel better for Christmas , but contact the doctor before Thursday if you feel you need more help to avoid the Christmas closing hours.

thanks that’s good advice, definitely worse this time so haven’t taken my methotrexate. I will check out the breathing exercises and contact GP x

My partner (PMR) and I (no underlying health problems) have been ill with Covid since early November. I am better now, but he is still struggling. I normally shake off sickness quite quickly, but this has flattened me. I’ve had 3 weeks off work and broken some ribs coughing, so it does make me suspect there is a new strain going round.
