I know a lot of People who were unwell , End December through January ,makes you wonder , Still feel a bit rough myself , not going out not helping will have a walk later ...

It's a bit of a coincidence when one person disappears and several posters who always support that person also disappear.

131 confirmed cases Durham up 11 ??   A very small rise of less than 10 % if the figures are to be believed ,although SD certainly appears to be being adhered to in my little area ....

As for DR C I hope he is well ...

Hopefully a case of one our friends getting him a ban for some reason ..

Chicken soup? Give yourself a treat and get Aldi "Cullen Skink"

note to self  cut back on the london pride

165 Cases today an Over 25 % Rise   ... Must be Hospital cases cause no where else to get tested ....

Or is there some other way the figures are compiled ??

18th March Case, today was the 15th day since then.

My timeline as well as I can remember

Evening of Tuesday 24th March .... Start to feel slightly unwell.  Take my temperature and it's normal
Wednesday 25th March ... A bit of a blocked nose and a slight cough, and semi diarrhea but feel ok.
Thursday 26th March... Diarrhea gone, cough gone, nose now runny and feel fine.  I go out for a 5 mile cycle ride.  Surely this isn't COVID-19.
Friday 27th March ...Wife is in bed all day, feeling unwell.  We move into separate rooms and self isolate as a family.  I start to develop muscle pains in my arms and legs and start taking pain killers regularly.  The muscle pains come in waves (that is the enduring legacy of my time with the virus)
Friday night to Monday 30th March.  Wife continues to stay in bed through to Sunday.  I feel ill but well enough to keep things ticking in the house.  Starting to get very dehydrated despite drinking loads, especially at night.  My throat is just incredibly dry.  Can't sleep for more than 3 hours at a time, and generally that's just the one 3 hours.  Constantly needing the loo at night, despite being parched.  Always get the shivers after going to the loo.  Still getting the muscle pains and taking the flu meds at 3/9/3/9 as clockwork.  I feel better in the fresh air but it's just too cold outside.
Tuesday 31st March.  Wake up drenched.  Feel much better after a shower.  I cook a roast dinner and have a glass of wine.  An hour after dinner I'm feeling poorly and have my first cough since the initial 24 hours.  I chastize myself for having a glass of wine when I'm so dehydrated.  Later I start to feel a tightness in my chest, and the diarrhea is back, but much worse than before.  I'm starting to feel concerned, but I try to reassure myself that my breathing is ok and I have no probelems walking around.  We stay up late and watch 4 back to back episodes of Big Little Lies, and then I get my 2-3 hours sleep, sleeping as upright as possible
Wednesday 1st April.  I wake up glad that the tightness in my chest is not feeling any worse than the day before, it's not feeling any better though.  I stop watching the news and try to kill time playing endless  Sporcle quizzes.   I've completely lost my apetite and start to feel nauseus.   I feel like i'm living every minute acutely aware of my symptons.  Evenings always the worst.
Thursday 2nd April.  The muscle pain in my legs has gone.  It's still there in my arms but not as bad as it was.  Still taking the pain killers every 6 hours .  I need to.  I'm picking at tiny amounts of food.  My diarrhea is still there.
Friday 3rd April.  I put a bagel in the toaster and I really struggle to finish it.  I don't eat anything else till the evening when I force myself to eat a banana. I've felt a bit better, the weather is ok and I've played darts in the garage and fixed a new doorbell.  I don't read much into it and sure enough as the temperature drops I get the shivers and I spend the next two hours trying to regulate the temperature and get rid of the shivers without going the other way.
Saturday 4th April.  I wake up at 4am.  WOW  I slept for over 4 hours and I'm not reaching for the pain killers.  I take them anyway as a precaution.  I go to the loo as normal and there is a bit of shivering, but it's less.  As normal I struggle to get back to sleep, and struggle to find a comfortable body temperature.  I run a bath.  It's too hot so I lie in bed waiting for it to cool down.  I fall asleep and wake up in a pool of sweat again.  I weigh myself before I get in the bath and I've lost 7lbs.  This time I feel much better.  The muscle pain in my arms has gone, the tightness in the chest has gone, the nausea has gone and the appetite is coming back.  I don't take pain killers at 9am for the first time in over a week, nor at 3pm.  The cough is still there, and the nose is runny, and I won't know about the dry throat till this evening, but that's nothing compared to the rest.  I feel confident enough to ring my parents and tell them I think I've recovered.

Hopefully I will not require Anti Biotics because I wont be getting them

Cuomo said he lost 13 pound in 4 days,was in a permanent fever never let up for longer than an hour..still onging.

If you have chest infection then should definitely be getting ABS i did the same thing a couple of years ago,went on for weeks then was coughing up blood then admitted with pneumonia,if you have a proper chest infection it won't shift by itself.

Coughing a lot of crap up over night .. Chest discomfort and Coughing , but has eased

I took a couple of Spoons of Drowsy Benylin at 7 Which knocked me out for a few hours

Will take going to bed tonight ...

Life has gone out of Sync , time doesn't seem to matter anymore , all very strange .......

I cant take it H had Ulcers in the food pipe a few Months back , which thankfully went after a couple of months ..

Phew mad dog, that was good news. Nothing like the word 'shadow' in connection with lungs to make you scared, not surprised you nearly s**t yourself! I'm glad you came threw well. The antibiotics were fast acting there; I probably should have done the same and asked for some off the doc, but I have a fear of taking too many, as my stomach is not the greatest at the best of times (hiatus hernia issues). A bit silly really, I should have asked for some biotics rather than going through months with a chest problem.

I have to say this even though I may regret it. I really don't like Drippen and think he's an obnoxious turd. I do hope he's ok though.
