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'm on day 6 of isolation. Just done 4 lateral flow tests this morning. Two of them were the newer nasal only tests and two of them were the older throat and nose test. The newer ones came back positive and the older ones came back negative.
Apparently the newer ones are more sensitive but the older ones are still allowed to be used. So if I go with the older tests I'm out of isolation tomorrow but if I go with the newer ones I could be stuck here for anything up to 10 days or more. |  | | |

Weird isn't it. I tested positive on Monday, although tested negative today. My partner, who lives in the same tiny flat with me, has consistently tested negative. We're both symptomless. Really waiting on tenterhooks for these PCR results. |  | | |

If I'd been unwell then at least I could feel the necessity to isolate but I've had no symptoms.
Really testing my patience. Do I just go with the older tests and stop isolating tomorrow or stick with the negative tests?How can I still be contagious 7 days after testing positive and with no symptoms? Makes you wonder how many other bugs you might pass around without knowing about it as I certainly wouldn't have taken any time off work if it wasn't covid. There's nothing wrong with me! | | | |

It’s frustrating but to be fair, I’d prefer the govt to delay making a decision until they have the data to make a more informed decision.
Many people were calling for lockdown last week and it’s now looking like that might have been a bit hasty and premature.
Let’s hope that we can all go to the Bournemouth game. |  | | |

Be lucky you've been fine and didn't end up like the previously fit and healthy 53 yo Il Divo singer who died from covid a little after a week of getting it. |  |

I do appreciate that I'm lucky to be well, I really do. And I understand the importance of isolating to protect people who are more vulnerable than me. The impact on people's mental health and their ability to financially support themselves if they can't work from home is also significant and the government show no sign of loosening the purse strings again on furlough or any significant support for affected industries. | | | |

Took another positive test this morning so will wait until Christmas morning before wasting any more LFTs as they are getting short to come by.
Would be great to eat Christmas dinner with the wife and girls instead of Denzil, Bruce and Mat Damon whose company I guess I will be fed up with by Saturday🙄 | |

I've watched all 6 seasons of Peaky Blinders over the last 6 or 7 days. I'm guessing most people have already watched it but it's definitely worth a watch if you haven't. | | | |

It's an old film now but if you haven't seen it, "The King of New York" is tremendous  |  |

Given we now know that omicron is less severe than delta, I’m glad the govt didn’t rush to put in place more restrictions and hopefully we’ll get to watch QPR on Monday for the first time in weeks.
Hopefully the worst of the pandemic is now behind us. Couldn’t ask for a better early Christmas present! | | | |

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. | | | |

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. | | | |
