If you have it, have had it, are pretty sure you have it, tell us about it?

How long were you ill for Azrael?

How long were you ill for Azrael?

Symptoms appeared last Thursday evening. Goodness knows what the incubation period was, think five days is average, so that's as good a guess as any.

Usual disclaimer that I haven't been tested so it could be something else, although the symptoms and course make me doubt that. Will see down the road.

Day 4 of symptoms and I actaully feel much perkier today. Slight lethargy remains, less of the night sweat last night, chest loosening slightly but the nagging flemy cough feels like it will set in for a while. Obviously everyone is different but this is far from the worse virus I've had. Just hope I don't get what others have claimed as the "second wave"

Day 5 and I continue to feel better. Just a run of mill headache and a deep raspy cough. Stuff like this normally hits me harder and longer so has got me wondering if I've actually had it or not. I would personally be glad to pay for an antibodies test if or when it becomes available.

Descriptions of two mild cases here, may be of interest to anyone with similar symptoms. The mayor of Miami got away with a runny nose, so there's clearly one helluva spectrum.

Just looked at this. Shows both cases testing positive way beyond 7 days. Personally Im sceptical of the NHS advice there of 7 days of self-isolation even with symptoms... many people may be feeling better with reduced symptoms but continue to test positive and maybe even be infectious for another week or more afterwards. 14 seems much more sensible... but really they are gonna have to start testing people eh.

Anyone who suspects they may have it but has basically got better quickly within 2-3 days please be cautious and have a look at that link above even tho it's a very limited study.

Day 12 here and im feeling pretty great - woke up with the euphoria someone else mentioned like the tail end of mdma or something. Chest still bit odd but im ignoring it. Doing my first home exercise and still drinking lots of water. Took me ages to fall asleep last night but huge amounts of tension in my body started to really subside and felt properly relaxed for the first time in ages. Cough has stopped too.

Apols if I've been skim-reading, but how many on here talking of having this thing have been tested?
And was it the swab test or a serological test?

 

[elbows]

Nobody here has had the test as far as I know, especially since they are currently testing hospitalised cases (and cases related to institutional outbreaks eg prisons).

 

[Mogden]

I've not been tested but Riklet's post has reminded me that last week and the week before I had a hellishly bad time falling asleep, most unlike me who could nod off on a pinhead. Still got the Airwaves chest and my sleeping seems to be back to normal. I did have super achy legs last week and just put that down to gym stuff and walking lots of miles but it felt different to usual exhaustion.

You’re quite right I don’t know that I’ve got it. I don’t think OP intended the poll to have that level of certainty but I’ve changed my vote.

Figured we'd have at least a few of the latter group.

 

[Lord Camomile]

Ahhh, fuck it.

Past three days I've had passing fevers, kind of like extended blushes for 30-60 mins, and a slight tightness in the chest, which raised my suspicions. Felt pretty fine otherwise though, so wasn't sure.

But just called my mum and spoke to someone for the first time in four days and I was getting out of breath, which is one of the clear signs, and I'm still feeling the effects about 10-15 minutes later.

Bugger

e2a: no tests, obviously, just gonna stick around my flat until it goes away, or gets so bad I need medical attention. Fingers crossed for the former!!

 

[Lord Camomile]

Does this mean I can touch my face with abandon now? I live alone so can't infect anyone else.

 

[Mogden]

The more I think about it, the more me being baking bloody hot last week as well as my armpit glands going mad makes more sense. Any PMT sufferers will know what I mean when I say it's like that then the blob arrives and you say "Oh that's why I've been eating everything and screaming like a banshee".

 

[Winot]

There’s some info here about symptoms from China via the team at Imperial:

Get well soon Lord Camomile

And everyone else here who’s poorly

 

[Lord Camomile]

Cheers

Imagine it'll get worse before it gets better, but hopeful to get through it relatively unscathed.

 

[frogwoman]

Yeah I've been getting chest pain, coughing and feeling out of breath quite a bit yesterday and today. I had to end a phone call with my mate because I was feeling out of breath. Whatever this is I hope it passes soon.

 

[Lord Camomile]

Just washed the dishes and heated up soup and I feel like I've done some serious exercise, as in muscles empty and now seizing exercise.

I've felt worse in the evening each day, so hopefully it's just that, but feels like I'm still on the way down, sadly.

I thought I was coming down with something a few days ago, I was, but thankfully it was just an ordinary cold - I was a little bit snotty for a couple of days - but no fever, no persistent cough, and no aches or pains. I really need to not get coronavirus as Nate is in the high risk group.

 

[Yu_Gi_Oh]

On the day that human-human transmission was confirmed, I noticed I had a mild cold, a funny stomach, and a surprising rash on my leg. It wasn't enough to even stop me working out, although the stuffy nose did linger for a few weeks. I'd transited through several airports around seven days before, and been in some very busy shopping malls. I guess I washed my hands when I could, but not to the degree that we do these days! My husband developed symptoms at exactly the same time as me. Our symptoms were identical, except he didn't get a rash. I was never sure if the rash was viral or because I didn't wash my gym leggings enough while travelling.

Hey feeling much better this morning, rang 999 and the people who got back were really reassuring tbh.

 

[gentlegreen]

I just ordered a fingertip oximeter so I don't have to bother the NHS if I get sick.
I suppose I might pro-actively start to record a baseline ...

 

[Barking_Mad]

You’re really fucking rude. People are nervous and confused. Maybe you should just stick to the health professional thread as your bedside manner fucking stinks.

'Health care professional'. Reassuring eh?

 

[Clair De Lune]

My head feels a bit clearer today and less dizzy but my cough is getting worse and causing pains in my chest. I'm hoping I can concentrate on a task today as I've been really bored but unable to do anything about it.

Sorry to hear that. Try and put the tasks on the back burner for another week or so! If it hits you quite hard you need to save your strength and rest, stay warm etc not overdo it.

I totally sympathise btw as was basically unable to do anything much productive for more than a week. Frustrating.

 

[Clair De Lune]

Thank you in better news my zombie eye is looking less scary and hurting less.

Here’s an idea. Why don’t you pack it in with cross thread beef

Possible vaccines/treatment(s) for Coronavirus

Shit post. Don't post nonsense like this, especially as a new thread with a title like you've given it.

Against a health care professional ( LynnDoyleCooper ) who is perhaps literally cleaning the nations shit up while you carry on being mardy.

You should be offering unconditional support to everyone in the Health service right now, not carrying on some ridiculous disagreement.

Aside from the obvious health concerns, this is one of the things I'm looking forward to least, being too knackered to do anything and just getting bored.

Hope you're feeling good enough to keep yourself more entertained/engaged

 

[Clair De Lune]

Installing a kettle, tea, water bottle, honey, paracetamol and supenoodles right next to my bed was a damn stroke of genius.

This is done with now, let’s not drag it up again. Especially not with a professional who is probably under a lot of strain trying to help keep a health service running.
