Archive for March, 2022

It started on last Friday night 25th March. I had a bit of a sore throat all night. Four of my flatmates were already positive so I had been RAT testing for days always negative.

Seen as my throat was sore I decided on the Saturday morning to swab my tonsils – Positive. That Saturday it progressively got worse. At first I thought it was gunna be largely asymptomatic like a mild cold.

I ended up spending most of the Saturday & all of the Sunday in a nasty fever with my tonsils stabbing with pain. The main thing with COVID fever is it totally drains you of all energy. I was a big blob of jelly in bed with stabbing tonsil pain.

I was pretty delirious but managed to get together all the medicine I needed. Anti-histamines, paracetamol & throat spray.

Also plenty of supplements.

I boosted my Vitamin D for weeks anticipating this & still got sick as a dog.

The fever broke in my sleep Sunday night. I awoke Monday with very damp pillows & sheets but no longer in fever & with a much clearer mind.

What remained was a terrible paralyzing cough which would have me bent over coughing until I almost passed out several times.

This violent coughing in turn led to me coughing up quite bloody phlegm for 3 days. Prior to this it was a purely dry cough.

Today I am much better but still positive. I awoke at 6am feeling great. My toes & fingers were tingling with circulation again. My spark is still missing though & I soon felt like I was stuck with a nasty cold again. Went back to sleep & awoke at 1:30pm.

Maybe tomorrow or the next day I will be out & about.

Worst thing about my Omicron COVID?

48 hours delirious & weak in fever.

Son of a bitch after all this time I finally caught COVID. I am triple vaccinated & its probably Omicron B strain.

This is the 3rd day & I just had 48 hours of delirium & weakness plus tonsillitis. Fortunately my fever broke last night & today is a little better.

The main thing with COVID is it zapps every speck of energy out of you during the fever stage. I have been consuming water constantly so have not experienced headaches or joint pain.

Hopefully better in a few days
