Fingers crossed for a full recovery.

From this recent recoverer of covid.....sorry to hear you succumbed & hope you start to feel better soon. I also noticed my heart rate spiking. During my worst 3 days, I got up one morning, walked downstairs & was alerted by my fitness tracker vibrating with a message. It was to congratulate me for achieving my target 'active intensity minutes'......only I hadn't been remotely active, as had been in bed having a rough coviddy night. The virus spiked my heart rate sufficiently to register as though I was exercising. These spikes continued until I got over the fever stage of the virus. Defo felt a lot worse than when I had covid back in 2022 but I'd had regular vaccines then. It took me about 2 weeks to get back to normal this time. 1 week of feeling awful & another to recover. I have a bit of a cough lingering but that's all.
Bound to be one of these new variants. 
What a cheek from your boss! I'd have felt like courier-ing over the positive test stick!

Just goes to show how effective these vaccines are, if you felt so much worse when you hadn't had one. Although I have to pay for mine now criteria has been changed, I think its worth it.

Urgh, so sorry you're poorly, and also sorry to hear boss is unsympathetic 🙄 No need for that type of attitude! Hope you're feeling better soon x

I've got it too EH - just did a third test (a week from the first) in the hope that I was clear and my cleaner could come into the house, and it's not clear although the line is weaker. My HR issues actually started before I took my temperature and tested, as did the nerve pain (which I gather is being reported quite a bit at the moment). 

My mum dropped some chicken broth over, along with lots of citrus fruit, a couple of nets of lemons, and some honey. I've had coffee a couple of times to help with the headaches, but I can't say I've enjoyed it - mostly I'm surviving on the chicken soup, citrus, honey & lemon, toast & marmite, and a bit of yogurt/kefir and stewed apple to get some fermented foods into me (which reminds me, I could find some miso and add a teaspoonful to the soup). Still headachy with a sore throat, but definitely improving.

Glad everyone has meantioned about their heartrate.  With being so antiquated I had got a little worried.  My fitbit was telling me I had done 300 minutes exercise in 3 days when in reality I had hardly moved out of my chair.  Three weeks now & no longer ill but still resembling a limp rag.

I usually find that my watch tells me that there is something going on before I actively feel unwell, but this time not so much - although that will have been in part because we were away over the weekend - which always pushes my RHR up a little anyway. Mine is usually pretty low - so even a small increase can be noticeable. I was in my usual range Monday and Tuesday, but up a little yesterday and today. 

Anyway today has been pretty restful - I mean it hasn’t had much choice! I reminded myself late morning that Lems1p is filthy tasting stuff, but did feel a bit better for the taking of it for a few hours, I’ll probably grit my teeth with a view to repeating the experience later unless I can find any standard cold tablets anywhere. Honestly though, I have no idea why so many people are falling over themselves to swig the stuff at the first sniffle - I’d be perfectly happy to never so much as smell it again! 

I’ve made tea - was originally thinking fish pie but decided that was more faff than I could cope with so I’ve gone with a double batch of veg/pasta/cheese bake, one which will go in the freezer with chorizo, and the other for tonight with black pudding no harder work to make two than one, so that seemed like a sensible plan. A couple of loads of washing through as well, again relatively little effort needed there, and it was pleasant outside in the fresh air pepping out.  I will let MrEH deal with transferring anything that hasn’t dried to the airer later I think as lugging the washing basket upstairs is out of my current abilities I think.

Lemsip is devil's drink!  I always have lemon, ginger, honey, vitamin C and paracetamol.
