Just wondering if anyone has had Covid , and if so what was your vaccination status and how bad were your symptoms 

  • I developed Covid on the 15th snatch and had a clear LFT on 26th March. I honestly had worse colds and apart from a banging headache for 24 hrs that was it.

    I am over 6 years out from treatment but my type of low grade is incurable. 

    Once I had my positive tests I called in to 119 and an hour later LONG conference call with my Consultant and an Infectious Diseases Consultant and the consensus is that I will not have the antivirals as the symptoms I am presenting with would be like taking a sledgehammer to a nut…… and there is a ‘gray area’ as to what side effects the antivirals ‘could’ kick off with some rare conditions - best leave sleeping-dogs sleep. We agreed that hoe I am feeling is a very good sign that the vaccine program and me being so far out from treatment means my immune system is doing its job - but I can call in if things change.

  • Thanks Mike glad to hear you made out so well 

  • If you have tested positive do call the number as you ‘may’ be eligible for the antivirals

  • Just wondering. I’m on watch and wait with Follicular Lymphoma and have four jabs. One of each and the fourth was Pfizer 

  • I have talked with folks in the same position and we’re offered the meds….. each case is looked at on an individual bases.

    Are you feeling ok?

  • Yes just wondering about experiences of others . We are in the sixth wave here in Canada

  • Ah Canada…. no idea if there is an antiviral program with you.

    I have talked to many people who have developed covid and the vaccines have made a bid difference with regards to the seriousness of symptoms with a high percentage saying just like having a bad cold or flu.
