    Ohhhhh no, so sorry to hear you've been struck down with Covid again, OBL. I was only reading recently that anyone suddenly experiencing dizziness should not rule out covid, as it seems to be an early symptom of these newer varients. Certainly that sounds like your experience. Look after yourself. Hope you start to feel better very soon.

    Yes it's definitely a big symptom, this variant seems more like a really bad head cold rather than a chesty thing. I've got a cough but it's my head that's the main problem with a blocked nose and awful headache. I have also had high temps and slight fever 😟I'm sitting in bed now and I feel really whoozy 😟

    I know, I can't believe I've got it again. It's actually the same scenario as when I first got it in 2020, I had a chest infection which was treated with the same anti biotic and then a week later I came down with Covid

    I'm sorry you've got it again. Do take it as easy as you can: I found rest was very important in recovery. Also fluids and vitamins, but you know that :) . Hopefully your body will remember what it needed to do last time and fight this attack off soon.

    Meanwhile the rain falls and the grass grows but it's a green garden and free chicken feed so there are definite silver linings.

    My first few hours of Covid were the worst so hopefully you will find similar and tomorrow will be easier.

    Oh no. You’ve had a rubbish time catching one lot of germs after another. Take care and don’t be rushing to get back to work too soon.

    Thanks, I'm taking it very easy mainly because I have no choice, I've had a very rough three days but have been out of bed today which has been nice. Tomorrow is day 5 so I can test myself again to see if I'm still positive. I'm not due back at work until Thursday so I have a couple of days to hopefully recover a bit more

    That's one of the cons of working in a hospital I'm afraid. Staff are dropping like flies all the time 😟
