Hands up if one of the C-waves rolled you...

Pretty sh$t to be honest, not feeling well at all. At least the oxygen sats are still looking fine.
Hang in there CJ..

My wife and I are both on day 9 of full blown infection.
I has been a really really rough time for us..

Today is day 9 (of a full blown infection of this Delta variant) for both me and my wife.

This has been a very difficult 9 days and still no light at the end of the tunnel for us

Be safe guys

Hang in there and shout if you need anything (even if you just want to share war-stories or need a sympathetic ear to b$tch into).
 
So I tested positive for Covid yesterday and was wondering how many more forumites ran into the same unfortunate news. If you are up for it, co
mment below if you caught it since the pandemic started and what your experience was (or is)?

So far I have had splitting headaches, a DEEP cough, sore throat, a nose that will make Usain Bolt and Bruce Fordyce doubt their own running credentials, muted taste and smell (not gone yet, thank goodness) and all over muscle sensitivity...

Sounds like the Delta variant from the symptoms. I m still on the mend 3 weeks after symptoms emerged. Mrs still on oxygen concentrator after a stay in ICU. This thing just completely saps your strength. Hope you are well on your way to feeling better. Be patient. One day at a time bud.

Worst part at this point is having to look after a 3 and 6 year old during the day... absolutely no time to rest. Today is day 5 since symptoms emerged... next few days will apparently be key.

Hang in there. It gets better! If there's any sign of breathing issues getting worse though, go to emergency immediately! Best if you have an oxymeter to monitor yourselves.

Good thing that! Mrs oxygen levels dropped from 94% to the 60's within a day and half!! Got diagnosed with covid pneumonia. Scary how fast you can deteriorate with this virus.

At least here in KZN, they hospitalise you if you oxygen saturation level hits 92% or lower.

Oh my word. And not safe to send them to someone else either. Hope they know the time to behave is now!

We have a PulseOx meter and monitor overselves regularly.
We are also under close daily supervision from our doctor.
So far we have not progressed to the covid phnemonia phase.
The biggest worry the doctor has is my wife. She suffers from blood clots which makes her an extreme high risk as one one of the biggest killers with this covid delta variant is blood clots.

This has been the most debilitating 9 days of our lives.

I can sympathize. In the early days I literally couldn't lift my arms to type a message on my phone. Have they given your wife blood thinning meds and the likes?

Yes she is on a very specialised blood thinner and she has blood test done regularly. But it doesn't stop that fear in one's mind that at any point in time she could get, and pass, a blood clot through a vital organ.
Our doctor told us that apparently more people die from blood clots with this covid delta variant then respiratory failure.

Wow guys my prayers are really with all of you I wish all that are suffering have a speedy recovery
 
Hope you all recover soon. I had it in the very beginning when Giz and I were stuck in America, I was woman down for about a week with nearly all the symptoms including the rash, Giz is one of the fortunate few who are completely asymptomatic.

We have had alot of family contract it in the last few weeks (including my sister who is vaccinated {healthcare worker, she had the Johnson and Johnson one though})

Trust me when I say Ivermectin works, and it works extremely well and extremely fast, we have one family member who is a chronic asthmatic and ivermectin sorted him out chop chop! Also remember to take tons of Vitamin D.
 
Was at doc again this afternoon and just got my blood test results back. The virus is abating so I am out of the danger phase now..
Now I go into recovery mode.
Right now I have exteme fatigue, even walking like 30 meters is diificult and I have to rest.
Wife is also getting better but it also suffering from fatigue and heart strain.

Still a long road to recovery, doc says can take up to 3 weeks

So glad hear this news. The fatigue sucks bad. I m past 3 weeks and still not full strength yet.

Hope her scratchy throat hasn't worsened. That's how it started with me.
