Dammit. I feel absolutely wrecked. It came on over night. I have a sore throat...full of a head cold and weak.

Niamh. 07-07-2022 02:53 PM

Denver 07-07-2022 02:56 PM

Getting Covid these days is the equivalent of going to town in flares

arista 07-07-2022 02:56 PM

No and we have to pay for them now. I have no idea where to get one or how much it would cost.

Hopefully it's not an extreme variant.

I have loads of tests Kate - if you really want to test, PM me your address and I will pop a couple of lateral flows in the post. Although by the time you receive them, you will probably be recovered :laugh:

You need to try and sleep as much as possible, and dose up on liquid night nurse.

Vanessa 07-07-2022 03:11 PM

You can get them from thw pharmacy.
I got sent some, because I'm in the at risk category.
Get some rest and drink plenty of water.

That stuff is potent, I'm not even sure how they get away with selling it over the counter, last time I took some of that I wasn't right for days :laugh: Good if you're really sick though definitely

It makes you feel tired and hungover the next day. It contains 18% alcohol by volume

definitely not something to take for a cold

Vanessa 07-07-2022 03:16 PM

Get a test. It might not be covid. It could be flu?

Best way to get through covid is sleep, and the best way to sleep is NN.

As someone who attends long covid clinic, I wish someone would have given me that advice!
