I am sorry that you have been ill Sylvia. There are lots of nasty viruses lurking out there, which can really floor you
I have a headache and a sore throat. I always wear a mask in shops, but not in the street, so I suppose we pick things up as we pass people. We did go out for a meal last Saturday as it was our golden wedding anniversary, so that could have been it. I am not I’ll as you have been. I hope you will soon be fit as a fiddle

Oh Sylvia so sorry to hear you have been unwell.
Yes you have been missed, I read your posts with interests as they are always full of interesting facts etc

I do hope you recover very soon.All you can do is rest, drink plenty but if it doesnt pass...whatever it is then you may need the doctor to examine you and maybe test you for Covid.

Sending you get well wishes and hope you feel better soon

Yes, you were missed. I got hit around the same way back in April. No tests avail, the hotline said it was not covid. It took me well into June before I was free of the lethargy and loss of appetite. Quite a lot of people have reported the same thing. I eventually got a test which was - ve.
Make sure you keep well hydrated.

The Oxford vaccine trials report some success.

Get well soon Sylvia, sounds as though it’s taken
a lot out of you <3

Sylvia, you still sound ill!
Better than you were - but still ill.

Take things easy <3

Well whatever it was Sylvia, I'm glad that you are somewhat better now and I wish you a full recovery.

There are certainly some strange symptoms there, but I'm glad that they were never so bad that you felt in danger.

Sorry to hear you have been so poorly Sylvia.

I do hope you feel much better soon. <3

I guess that the only way to know if you have really been infected is to be tested. Presumably it would need to be an anti-body test.

did anyone miss me?!

I don't know whether I've had a mild bout of covid-19 or not ............ symptoms I had are on the list, but equally are also linked to my own health problems.

I did not have a fever, nor did I lose my sense of taste or of smell.

Nonetheless, I spent 8 days almost entirely in bed, lost my appetite for a couple of days, and have lost 5-6 lbs in weight.

I started feeling better last Thursday afternoon, and can now manage to stay up for several hours a day, even getting dressed. But I feel I am in a state of convalescence such as I've never had before.

Some time late morning or early afternoon and again about 8 pm, I seem to hit a wall, feel all the energy drain away and have to get to the bed and lie down before I collapse.

It's all very weird!

The last time I had been out was about 10 days before it all began when I had physio one day and then the next day had to go to the store to pick up a new prescription from the pharmacy ............ OH usually does it, but I needed to talk to the pharmacist. I wore a mask at all times, and kept social distancing. So if I caught covid then, it was from a casual passer-by.

I never felt in enough danger that I needed to talk to anyone or call for emergency, but boy, was it very strange!
