After nearly 2 years of being careful and working from home I had to go to London on Thursday for a meeting with an important client. First time since the first lockdown.
Train, and underground to get there.
This morning after feeling shitty all night, took the test and it’s positive.
Day 1 - On set of feeling chesty and slightly achy. Had a few whiskeys as knew something was happening.
Day 2 - Test is positive. Aching all over, even joints and fingers when tapping this on the phone. Cold and shaky, need hot water bottle.
Phlegmy. Sensitive to light, bad back and legs. Painful to sit on toilet. Headache coming on. General feeling pretty poor, but it is quickly getting worse. Very odd.
Temperature was fluctuating up to 38.7 degree C (101.66 degree F), shaking, aches.
Sense of smell and taste disappeared last night which I found when trying to suck on a cough sweet. Hasn’t returned this morning, even though I don’t have a blocked nose. Seems to be a common symptom.
Day 3 - Been taking paracetamol and brought temp down to 36.1 degree C (99 degree F).
Still aching but the part I was dreading has now arrived, the shortness of breath. Coughing hasn’t really been a problem, but it is becoming more frequent.
Still painful when trying to stand up to go to the loo. Eyes sensitive to light. No energy.
I’ll keep this updated.
