New strains of Covid symptons

[Tashyboy]

He mostly comes out for covid.. mostly.

Because he has the medical credentials that some have asked for.

 

[Tashyboy]

It was actually because I got a PM from a forum member and dropped by to have a look around.

The forum Member was me

Similar experience as your recent endoscopy?

Well am sat at hospital waiting for a Prostate biopsy so it could be similar to that as well.
Al be walking like John Wayne’s been on a horse for two weeks after that.

Good luck with your biopsy hope you have same outcome as me.

Walking after is not that bad

Good luck, Tash.

Bit of advice, although your good lady has no doubt already told you all you need to know. My biopsy absolutely wiped me out for a few days. I tried to play golf a couple of days after and have never, in all my years, felt as exhausted as I did afterwards. I hung some blinds in our bedroom three days after my procedure, drilling into a concrete lintel, and had to spend most of the next day in bed. The procedure left me absolutely exhausted without me realising it.

Put your feet up for a few days and take it easy.

How do you differentiate 'Covid symptoms' from cold or flu symptoms, or just simply being ill or run down? I would imagine most people are not doing tests anymore since you have to pay for them and there are no restrictions anyway.

I have heard of a fair number of people testing positive for Covid recently, a group from the club had a week in Benidorm recently, over half came back with Covid.

 

[Billysboots]

I know a number of people who have had it in the recent past, having had to test because of the environment they work in.

I had a “chest infection” in March which had the added thrill of impacting on my throat and voice box. In short, the severity of the coughing was causing my vocal cords to go into spasm, and I could neither speak nor, more worryingly, breathe until it eased about 20 seconds later. I’m still getting the impact on speech even now, four months later. I also had a period of about three weeks with awful vertigo symptoms.

I had to test because of periodic hospital appointments, and the traditional Covid tests were returning a negative. My GP said I had almost certainly had one of the newer Covid variants, as not all show up with the testing kits we have all been used to using.

Having had Covid twice and returned positive tests over the last couple of years, I can say without hesitation that these most recent symptoms, if indeed they were caused by Covid, were by far the longest lasting and by some distance the most severe.

Had a few days last week feeling meh. Grotty, wet cough and sore throat. No sense of smell. It came to nowt and was gone almost as quickly as it came on.

 

[Robster59]

We have friends who caught Covid on a flight back from Spain the other week. It's still going around but I've had my updated vaccine for it. Also got my pneumococal vaccine (covering Pneumonai, Meningitis and Sepsis) over the weekend. Available to 65 and over in Scotland.

Of course, as we know, not everybody on here believes in Covid.

There’s been a spike in Edinburgh following the Taylor Swift concerts.

 

[upsidedown]

Yes, plenty people getting some mild cold symptoms. Nothing to see here.

Any evidence of that?
