Today managed to spend a little more time out of bed rather than in it. I am not one for sitting around doing f
k all but I cannot do a bloody thing. Sleep is non existent - naps throughout the day and night. Our bedroom ceiling has a mark that really needs repainting I’ve noticed… stared at it for hours today.
Make this end.

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news but societies need to wake up to what we are doing to our health.
What we are doing? The TLDR on that article is that Covid kills T cells and vaccines work so keep up to date with the vaccine. It's that the narrative you were looking for? Sorry to be the bearer of bad news but societies need to wake up to what we are doing to our health.
Always good to read stuff before quoting it.
I’m finally recovering after 4 weeks. The worst cold/flu/Covid I can recall. The first week was mainly fatigue, then weeks 2 and 3 were headaches, muscle pains, a really rough chest and hacking cough, with a day or two of hot sweats / freezing, and finally into week 4 I was prescribed antibiotics which seem to be reducing my cough and gurgling chest. Finally able to sleep at night without waking up in a coughing fit. Still can’t taste anything either.

You managed to see a Dr., both of you! ?Went to the docs today but we have different things, Hers is fever, ear pain and she has anti biotics. Mine is a sore throat tight chest and i have been given steroids.
Blimey, do you have an inside track ?
You message / call (even send photos if you like). they triage and either:
Tell you to wait it out (text).
Send a scrip to the pharmacy and text you.
Call you for a chat.
Ask you to come in.
We’ve found it great, some others will obvs hate it though.

Looks like I've joined the lurgy club this Xmas, day before I break up as well FFS 
Lying on my armchair shivering under a blanket in a warm room, achy muscles, dry chest and throat with an occasional cough, and it took me half an hour to muster to the energy to get myself a glass of wine. Also Mrs TRD is out tonight so I've got to sort out my own tea, and earlier I thought it was a good idea to cook myself lamb cutlets instead of a ready meal. 
Well I was making a joke about it before but jeez it has absolutely floored me. Barely manage to eat or drink anything, can barely get off the chair, but if I do it'll be to sick, and I feel like I've been drugged with some strong sedatives. Grim.

I fear what we're seeing is Immune system damage due to repeated Covid injections.
Touch paper lit!Are you sure about that cause?
Further https://www.autoimmuneregistry.org/long-covid-anno... - "Autoimmune Registry has decided to include Long COVID in its list of autoimmune diseases to support research into this emerging chronic condition."
Scientists cannot be 100% at this time but there's a growing body of research that's giving cause for concern. The health crisis in the UK and elsewhere is further evidence that something is not right. A GP yesterday reported:
GP said:
my practice with 16.5k patients had 1400 incoming calls: 8.5% of our patients looking for help on 1 day.
There’s reports of 9 hr waits in Paeds A&E
111 GP callback lists with 100s of people who won’t be called back
8.5% looking for help in 1 day is huge.There’s reports of 9 hr waits in Paeds A&E
111 GP callback lists with 100s of people who won’t be called back
A lot of things do not add up.

Had the same symptoms, apart from the sickness, felt like a heavy dose of the flu, out of curiosity did a covid test and has come back positive for the last 5 days and today is all clear, time to
Nice! Glad you're feeling better mate, enjoy! 
I'm probably going to take a test tomorrow just to see as I was supposed to be going around one of the families houses on Xmas day, looking somewhat doubtful at the moment!I have to say this Flu bug that is doing the rounds is not nice, I’m lucky at the age of 43 I have only had proper flu once before. It all started for me on a Thursday afternoon with uncontrollable hicups that lasted for about 9 hours! Next morning I was feeling rough with Cold symptoms and a temp of 38C, Covid test was negative so managed work. The fun then started Friday night, temp rose to 40.2C and was up and down for four days like this with an extremely tight chest and bad cough. After the worst of the temperatures subsided I had a big dendritic ulcer develop in my left eye and the worst case of impetigo I have ever had! I looked and felt absolutely wreaked and would far prefer to have Covid then this..
Then it was my 11 year olds turn, the poor sod had a temp of 39C for 8 days! Paracetamol and Ibuprofen didn’t touch the fever ether.
Stay safe all, I don’t wish that horrible bug on anyone.

The chesty cough returned with a vengeance today, had the last bottle of benylin from Morrisons. The shelves were stripped of all cold and flu products.
One thing I will say, although I've not been eating much all week, drinking lots of tea and coca cola really takes the edge off, more likely the intake of fluids as opposed to some mystical ingredient in tea or coke. The benylin is starting to kick in as well.
Started to feel rough on Monday, by Tuesday evening I just felt freezing cold and wanted to go to bed. Felt a bit better on Wednesday morning, went into the office but by lunchtime I couldn't stop sneezing and my nose was running like a tap.
Been coughing up some lumpy phlegm, I actually wondered if I had a chest infection. Now it feels like I have a really bad cold, but my chest is painful when I cough.
I had a work team call and one of the guys said he has been feeling rough for weeks, so bad that he had not had a single beer from his beer advent calendar.
I then read about this "super cold" and that sounds exactly what I have, I just did a Covid test and it was negative.
I have read some people saying that it affected those who have been vaccinated against Covid the most. I haven't been vaccinated, so fingers crossed I start to feel better soon.
Does feel very similar to when I had Covid, the loss of my sense of smell and taste seems exactly the same.

My Mrs has been rough for a few days starting to feel better but she tested positive (neg now).
I’ve had an on/off cough for ages (probably a month) as have the kids but so far felt fine.
Then today happened! Went to the gym and did weights and punched the crap out of a bag for 12 mins, came out into the cold, went into my FiL’s which is basically a Greggs oven then back into the cold then back into my slightly not as hot house where I’ve spent the last 2 hours shivering under a blanket, bit of a dry cough still and that odd feeling where your clothes feel uncomfortable on your skin and my face feels like it’s been blow torched (temp of 37.2 though)
If I wake up ok in the morning this will be very weird.

I had a really long lasting cold in November , it took me 5 weeks to shift, really annoying, so much snot. Finally cleared then a week later caught another !!! Gutted, it took till now to feel less snotty but still not right. I swear covid has wrecked my immune system(non vaxxed) tested regularly for covid during both but all negative, my friends had similar colds too
Finished for Christmas last Sunday , Monday woke with a rasping dry cough and felt absolutely drained , stayed in bed until midday dead to the world . Borderline fever Tues/Weds hoping it wasn't a chest infection incoming , spates of feeling ok then dreadful . Today back to 95% , still an annoying cough . Seen the worst of it
