This covid shit is no fkn joke, it's absolutely gutted me, its kind of scary. The fatigue is also something I've never felt before, I'm awake for 30mins tops, and then I'm out again until I wake myself from sweating through everything.
Keep smashing the waters! Dont wanna get dehydrated cause that takes it from a bad time to a worse time.
Have you got plenty of paracetamol for the fever? Do you have anyone to help you if things get dire? Even just a slab of Aldi gatorade kind of help?
Yeah, by some crazy turn of events the housemate has not caught it, so they are playing nurse maid. We are also super lucky our house is designed in a way that allows us to completely quarantine from one another, including only them being able to access the kitchen.
Yeah, I feel ya. That virus knocked me about for six days. I rarely get sick, so it was a true eye-opener!
Yeah that fever is a bastard. I hope it passes soon for you. I was taking pseudoephedrine and mersynofen every 4 hours (which I've sadly run out of, I might head to the medical centre for more now) and I've been sleeping as much as I can.
I think this latest strain is hitting people harder than anticipated.
Hope you get plenty of rest and feel better soon.
Hang in there.
hugs, rest, drink a lot and take care. 🤗
