Hullo! Still here! I’ve had Oxygen, dexamethasone, IV paracetamol (as get vomiting when fever was spiking), and a bag of fluids and feeling bit better. Much better actually- a big dose of strong steroids will do that for you :D

Won’t be in long, was admitted to Clinical Decisions Unit, which is for people likely to need 24-48hours of care. They say obviously I’ve had this big ‘cytokine storm’ where your body’s inflammatory response goes into overdrive on day 7-10 ish. I’ve got pneumonia on both sides (standard covid pneumonia). But although my oxygen levels are dropping to high 80s when I do anything crazy (like sit up), they recover fast.

Still likely to have horrid few more days they think, then hopefully that will be the end of it. Thanks everyone. Bloody covid!!

Good news Edie. Please let us know if there's anything we can do to help in any way. And I hope nurse Billy is ok too.

So glad your feeling safe and a bit better :) Interesting about the cytokine storm, I had read that people on immunosuppressant meds were less likely to have this happen.

Not had methotrexate for two weeks as been too unwell (you get told to stop taking it whilst acutely unwell)
