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.
3 Feb 2021 1st Astra Zeneca Oxford
14 April 2021 2nd Astra Zeneca Oxford
5 Nov 2021 Pfizer Covid Booster
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.
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.
