Woke up 2am on Sunday morning with a fully developed head and chest cold and 5:30am Monday morning still haven’t been able to get any sleep since
Had loads of negative Lat Flow tests in the past but after taking a test Sunday morning the second line appeared to confirm I had it after about 30 secs.
The thing that has kept me awake is not the feeling rough as I am not too bad but either my immune or my booster three weeks ago doesn’t like Omicron and has given me the worst prickly heat since I was in Crete when I was 18.
Just hope the Mrs and girls can swerve it before Christmas but I can’t see how they can even we me being banished to solitary confinement since 9am on Sunday..
Make sure you get some antihistamine in just in case this is a common side effect as I haven’t any until the shops open and someone gets out of bed for me 😂
Edit: turns out we had some antihistamine in the cupboard all the time😠[Post edited 20 Dec 2021 8:47]

I’ve had my sore throat since the 18th,and it still shows very little sign of going yet.Now I’ve developed the cough to go with it,and the runny nose too.
Hardly any meaningful sleep since Saturday,just an hour here and an hour there.
Several lft tests show negative,so I booked a pcr test for today as we’re supposed to be having 14 for dinner on Christmas Day,including my elderly in-laws. |  | | |

It's good to read that north.
I hope everyone else is improving as well. |  | | |

Yesterday i watched french film La Haine' (translated 'Hate' if you're looking for it on Netflix) Recommended. Also watched Straight Outta Compton which is decent if you like gangsta rap bravado. Which i do..lol
Four Brothers is a good film, again lots of gangsta bravado but this time with a bit more heart. lol
The Departed
The Revenant
Candyman (2021)
True Detective series 1
Sicario and Sicario 2 are good |
La Haine is a quality film. Vincent (can't be bothered to look up his surname. Casell?) Has been in a few good films. | | | |

That's good to hear. Hopefully you get some day 6 and 7 negative LFTs. I'm on day 9, have had almost no symptoms but continue to test positive on LFTs. Not best pleased. |
Yeah, same as me. LFTs still showing a faint 2nd line, latest one very faint but not risking anything until totally clear, hopefully for Christmas Day. |  | | |

Once you hit day 10, the advice seems to be you don't need to test any more and you're free to end isolation. They also changed rules so that day you first had symptoms is day 1 rather than the day after. This means I'm day 10 tomorrow so will get out for Xmas! | | | |

Yeh, my mum, brother and his wife all had it recently and were told all good after 10 days, as supposedly the virus can't replicate by then. | | | |

Basically over it now.
Symptoms felt 18th, tested positive 19th, didn't sleep at all nights of 18th, 19th, 20th with sweats and changing temperature, really bad throat 19th, 20th, 21st, congestion in my sinus 21st and 22nd, improved yesterday and now today I just feel a bit washed out.
I've never slept so much in my life as the last three days but apart from that I think I'm just about there. I've definitely had much worse colds and flus so if that's the vaccine working then the jabs were definitely worth it. |
Similar experience as reported by my family members who had it recently, including my 80 year old mum. Get vaccinated. | | | |

You should only stop isolation after 10 days if you are symptom free, as this means you have overcome the infection. The virus can most definitely replicate past this point as shown by the hospitalisations and deaths which are almost all later than 10 daya. |  | | |

I'm hoping I can have one Christmas Day. Drinks have tasted v, v weird so far though. Everything tastes like I've just cleaned my teeth. |  | | |

By the way guys, if you're struggling with the night sweats and sleeping as well, I've found this helps...

Same dates as Clive.
Group of lads went to see Squeeze/Madness at the O2 and as my brother had so many Marriott points we got 4 rooms for £30 per head in Canary Wharf.
I woke up in my hotel room at 2am with complete congestion and sinus pain. Didn’t get back to sleep and had this gut instinct that I needed to just get up as soon as the tubes were running and get home. I had been sneezing throughout the day and felt a bit tired but other than in our seats where no one was wearing masks and at the table in the pub I always wear a mask on transport and shops/hospitality etc.
Can’t believe my brother and the other fella in my room are all still 100% and testing negative every day.
Relieved to hear that there is such a thing as a faint red line as that is what I got this morning so hoping that I get clear Friday night and Saturday lunchtime so that I don’t have to eat Christmas dinner on my bed.
By the way “Silent Hours” on Netflix - don’t bother - woeful | |

You might be right about the replication and definitely about the fact it can still be fatal 10 days after contracting, but the advice here is that it's not contagious after that point even if you have symptoms. Mind you that advice could change tomorrow! |  | | |

I think worth a read, not all doom a gloom and from a professional working in the field.

After working at school all the way through the pandemic- nothing. December 23rd feel bit ropey and test positive. Some of the symptoms people have been talking about but don't feel too bad, thank goodness I've had all the jabs. Gets me out of a lot of Christmas duties as been sent to room for 10 days. Getting food delivered by mask wearing family members! | | | |

All the best mate. 5 in our house and surprisingly no else has caught it off me. Even my wife who shares the bed (split 80%/20%) has been testing negative nearly every day.
I'm allowed back out the house Monday. Back to work Tuesday. |  |

She was positive some days?!!
Tbh, not particularly worried at this point, except for in financial terms - I'm self-employed and have taken a bit of a hit recently, van is broken down, no spare vehicle etc, and my wife is a care-worker in the wonderful gig economy.
It's my daughter's partner who has it, really nice fella, has covid and supports chelsea.
At least there's a vaccine for one of his ailments. | | | |

Sorry to hear that Lee, bad timing but at least it gives you some time to tinker with your Fantasy team!
Best wishes for the holidays to all on here and especially those struggling with Covid which seems to be a significant percentage now. |  | | |

The Mrs insisted on moving straight out last Sunday in to the spare room.
Best nights sleep have had in years this week without behaving to wear earplugs

Shes positive most days.
Positive, its my fault. Positive she's always right, positive its my turn to do the washing up etc...lol
Only joking (if she's reading this)
Anyway. Why do vans break down at the worst possible time?. Hope you get something sorted mate.
Hope you told your daughter she needs to socially distance from her boyfriend. About 10 miles ought to do it. ;) | |
