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.<\/p>\n<p>Seen as my throat was sore I decided on the Saturday morning to swab my tonsils &#8211; Positive. That Saturday it progressively got worse. At first I thought it was gunna be largely asymptomatic like a mild cold.<\/p>\n<p>I ended up spending most of the Saturday &#038; 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.<\/p>\n<p>I was pretty delirious but managed to get together all the medicine I needed. Anti-histamines, paracetamol &#038; throat spray.<\/p>\n<p>Also plenty of supplements. <\/p>\n<p>I boosted my Vitamin D for weeks anticipating this &#038; still got sick as a dog.<\/p>\n<p>The fever broke in my sleep Sunday night. I awoke Monday with very damp pillows &#038; sheets but no longer in fever &#038; with a much clearer mind.<\/p>\n<p>What remained was a terrible paralyzing cough which would have me bent over coughing until I almost passed out several times.<\/p>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<p>Today I am much better but still positive. I awoke at 6am feeling great. My toes &#038; fingers were tingling with circulation again. My spark is still missing though &#038; I soon felt like I was stuck with a nasty cold again. Went back to sleep &#038; awoke at 1:30pm.<\/p>\n<p>Maybe tomorrow or the next day I will be out &#038; about.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Worst thing about my Omicron COVID?  <\/p>\n<p>48 hours delirious &#038; weak in fever.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tweet It started on last Friday night 25th March.
