It’s incredibly difficult to get any primary care. I had to call the paramedics before I got seen the next day by a GP (who prescribed steroids which were then dispensed by a pharmacy that didn’t deliver and shut for bank holidayOh gosh
). Ibuprofen seems to work best. I’m slowly getting there mate xx

That's ridiculous, how worrying and frustrating for you. I do hope you get a good night's sleep and start feeling better tomorrow.

Not yet going to try again tomorrow, a mate is going.
Very ill. Called 111. Fever so high and struggling to breathe although oxygen sats ok. Also got bloody I think in urine. When does this end how long is average fever in days if you don’t have mild illness does anyone know? I’m day 10 now. How many more days of this I can’t bear it.

Edie I agree with sheothebudworths - what is the worst that could happen? possibly that the ambulance people check on you and decide not to take you to hospital, either way you will get a second opinion on how you are doing.
Wish I could say how long it lasts, the fever etc, but I have no idea. Hope you feel better soon.

Please phone 999. You will not be depriving someone more in need than you of an ambulance. Your need is serious.

I was watching some programme from March/April - with patients doing video diaries - one of them was saying how it fluctuates over time, so at some points you think you're getting better..

I’ve spoken with Edie. She’s agreed that I update the thread.
She has called for an ambulance and they are on the way.
They are sending ambulances to people to triage them at home. so they may not take her in.
Edie says her O2 is okay but her fever is 40.
Her breathing is very shallow because she’s so weak, but the function seems okay.
I’ve asked her to update me when she can.

Between ragged breaths, her voice actually sounded quite strong, and stronger the second time we spoke, when she knew the ambulance was coming.
She says it’s the fever that floors her, she can manage things okay during the day but as soon as the fever takes off she loses strength.
I offered to stay on the phone with her while she waited but she preferred to ring off. Back door is open for the crew to just come in. She may be under the cosh of this virus but she’s still strong and powerful and on point.
I told her I’d be thinking of her, and I know many others will also be holding her up through this night.

Sounds like that’s for the best, hopefully this will get you the care you clearly need - keep us updated when you are feeling up to it. Night night
