Utterly miserable 3 day migraine and shivers, 0 energy reserves. Would do it all again if I had to though. You sound just like me mate woke up Friday with a stiff neck and feeling a little groggy, Saturday was absolutely battered, Sunday close to going to hospital was completely fucked still thought I had the worse flu ever. Mandy got us to do a flow test it said it can take up to 20 minutes to register mine took less than a minute to show to brownie reddish lines I was positive 5-10 minutes later Mandy was negative. Tried to book a PCR test for Sunday couldn’t get one till Monday got a positive result this morning, phone never stopped with emails and messages to be honest I felt that shit I ignored everyone one then late evening I got a phone call from a Scottish lad working in a Govid centre 20 minutes of questions and I was free to get back to bed, Mandy and myself have isolate till Tuesday. Christ knows what position I’d be in if I hadn’t had both jabs, because without wanting to appear to melodramatic this is the worst I’ve ever felt in my life, boys take it easy and please look after yourselves this is a very dangerous virus we are dealing with here. pete0, Hafnia, Matt and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is indeed very serious. Get well soon Palfy Im double jabbed and normally brush stuff off. I'm past the fever, headache, sore throat stage which was 2 to 3 days. The last 3 days has been pure tiredness/dizzy and fatigue. I've been working but my head hasnt been up to processing much. I've been making sure I've been on top of vitamin D and C, take zinc etc. Been eating plenty too. StevO, Palfy and Matt 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dunlopp9987 Posted July 28, 2021 Report Share Posted July 28, 2021 Wait, @Palfy was all of that from the vaccine side-effects?? I guess I read it as you were already vaccinated, you contracted covid and still had all of those symptoms. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With no disrespect meant (I’ll save the disrespect for your opinions on football only haha) you’re no spring chicken, Covid has been fatal for so many. Just make a full recovery and get back on your feet mate. Seems like Mandy is the lucky one, but at least she’s got an excuse to stay socially distanced from you now mate.

Just goes to show how vicious this thing still is, and the need to mask up again. Glad you're on the mend, Palf. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We sold our house 4 months ago after deciding to stop guessing what it was worth and getting a valuation, he gave us his opinion which exceeded our valuation, we then decided that we had something unique and stuck another lump on top we then paid him 450.00 to get a staging company in to do a glossy brochure which would be reimbursed on the sale, anyway sold it in a couple of days, we then put an offer in on a detached cottage in an old Saxon market town of Cricklade it had been empty for nearly 3 years the old girl died in a care home some 18 months ago and the family had a fall out on who was getting what so it ended up being sold by a solicitor through probate, so we put all stuff in storage and rented a 3 bed lake house in the Cotswold water park, we are now living on what was a farm just outside Cirecester on the B road to Burford we can be here for 3-4 months but we might need a bit longer the place we bought is a right mess and a hell of lot more work than envisaged, I thought 60-70k and 3-4 months it’s now looking like 100-120k and 6-7 months, anyway the place we are in is a small lounge and kitchen 1 bed and en-suite shower room, which as really pissed Mandy off this week having to isolate in 2 rooms with someone who has Covid and she doesn’t. That’s how the cookie crumbles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
