Give her my best. Anyone who thinks this is "just a cold" has either not had it, or been very lucky. Take care yourself. We both came down with it within a couple of days, even though we kept apart. It's the tiredness which is such a nuisance. The sun is shining, and the gardening beckons, but within an hour I feel knackered.

That's ineteresting.

My otherwise very healthy wife had it too and displayed cold like symptoms (lethargy, cough etc).

I did slightly lose appetite, had a few heart palpitations too which I found out is not unexpected.

Now Zaha's got a bit of green grass ahead of him here... and finds Ambrose... not a bad effort!!!!

I ate junk all the time. You could face that lovely Cornish ice cream with English strawberries, I bet. I had no sense of taste myself but enjoyed the odd Ben and Jerry's and Hagen Das out of the tub with a spoon.

Red and Blue Army!

This surge in Cornwall just proves covid eventually spreads where it hasn’t.

I had it in October and probably delta or similar. I could’ve skipped eating but ate as normal and regularly. Did little exercise for 10 days which is unusual. Loss of smell for 7-8 days but no loss of taste. A few times things didn’t taste the same but nothing major.

COYP

I used to live 3 miles from Scorrier, so yes I know where it is. Been 2 weeks since I was last in the city, but there were quite a few still wearing masks inside shops then. Not outside though. There is a lot of Covid here at the moment, and it seems very transmissible, so good luck with the PCR.

I had the same when I had it, and the jabs.

It seems that it's a vascular illness rather than respiratory.

You can get a finger monitor (around £20 - Boots do one) that checks your heart rate and O2 levels. I found that my heart palpitations showed as a decrease in O2 levels and a 50% increase in my heart rate. I went for a walk and breathed deeply when I had one. I was also taking an aspirin every couple of days (blood thinner).

I work in Cath labs so get to check my BP, o2 and heart rate regularly and I found that when I was not having a palpitation all were normal. So I suspect nothing will be seen.
