Coronavirus Recovery

Hi guys

My GP and I are pretty sure I have had coronavirus and am now recovering (haven’t had it tested and confirmed so that’s the caveat)... I wanted to start a discussion in case anyone had any questions or concerns and/or needed support when experiencing symptoms. 

Obviously nothing medical but I had horrible anxiety when I started to experience symptoms and didn’t know who to talk to / what to expect so hopefully we can share some info and experiences here.

Take care everyone 
- Lucy

    Heyy,

    glad youre doing better now!

    what symptoms did you have? 

    Its interesting cause where my older sister is temparly working is a young persons unit and where most of the patients have been tested positive for coronavirus but their symptoms vary. The first had the typical temp and cough but that was only for one day and then they felt fine. And the others was just really tired. Or had a sore throat. They're are better now. (Hopefully can share that) But it is weird how it affects people so differently

    Thanks Shaunie. Agree I’ve heard loads of different things from people who have had it / suspected to had it. Never mind what we hear on the news too! Mine started with a sore throat, then came fatigue and cough. I didn’t have a temperature at all. 

    Really difficult because I googled it, as everybody would, and it was only after speaking to my GP (which I was reluctant to do coz didn’t wanna waste their time) that I stopped worrying. Lots of scaremongering going on online for sure.

    I had covid I tested positive for it. 

    I agree with the anxiety part.

    I’m alright thank you, I’ve got a cough which I didn’t have at first, no temperature or anything. I’m mainly very tired, but I’m sure that will pass eventually. 

    Sending hugs and get well soon wishes to you :heart:
