Re: Covid is kicking my ass [fulla]
Reply to Fulla but could have been to almost any on this thread.

Many many thanks to all that have posted. I've just gone down with it and so this is a really helpful thread. I'm 47, triple vaxed with mild asthma and almost certainly down with an omicron variant (dominant in NZ). I was pretty conservative over last years to avoid, but then this week had some work events and the inevitable happened. As I was travelling I need to isolate in the hotel, which in some ways will help as it takes away the temptation to jump on the trainer before day 9, or to go walking up the hills. At best midweek I can go for a 30min flat walk around a nearby park.
I actually tested positive 10mins after I got back from an early morning run - was supposed to be routine test before a visit to an at risk destination, and so was a bit surprised. But then noticed a bit of a sore throat, and perhaps the runny nose wasn't from the pool chlorine. Last night was awful, splitting headache and Ox Sat was down to 85% this AM. Panadol/paracetamol has helped and the leg aches also eased but will be doing nothing other than making a dent in the hotel bed today and tomorrow.
Yesterday was really not fancying food, but this morning had some toast and straight away felt a lot better. Oh and the brain fog too. That was scary yesterday when I was trying to talk on the phone to sort some logistics out and couldn't find my words.
