Covid

Hi Fsake, I have heard of many people in the online community now testing positive for Covid. It seems to be everywhere. Have you rung 111 and asked about the anti viral drug paxlovid. It is not suitable for everyone, I think it depends on what treatments you are on, but it has helped to keep peoples symptoms mild. Hope you do not feel too unwell with it xx 

Hi chelle, waiting for a call from my oncologist i dont feel too bad yet, i know i got it from work as people dont follow the covid rules we have in place and one guy tested positive saturday he literally stood over me friday whilst i was signing out my work kit.

I’m glad you have contacted your oncologist. It’s so frustrating that people are still not being sensible. We can do everything we can to keep us safe, but others don’t see it that way. The times people have said to me we have to get on with it, we have to live with this now. It’s not as easy as that for us. Very frustrating xx 

Hi chellesimo i have been on anti-virus meds for 3 days days now and i feel like i just have a cold still testing positive. My wife has the same symptoms as me but much worse and testing negative very odd.

All thr best

Hi Darren, I am glad to hear you are feeling reasonably well on the anti viral meds.  
Do you have the lateral flow tests? It might be an idea for your wife to continue testing daily as well. I have heard of some people testing negative in the morning, but then positive just a few hours later. 

Hope you both feel better soon x 

• Feeling fed up after having covid and testing negative for 4 days i was shocked to wake up with a runny nose on day five and be positive again, i feel a lot worse this time hope i dont end up in hospital with it.

Oh no! I am really sorry to hear this. Hope you feel better soon x 

I tested positive for covid while I was in hospital following a lobectomy.  I had a few rough days and the doctors were concerned about my inflammatory markers for a while, but my hospital stay was only extended by a few days.
