Have you tested yourself for covid?

There is a brutal non-covid virus going around here in the east Midlands, certainly among older folk.
It starts pretty much as you describe although I've not heard of the shivers lasting as long as you describe.
It seems to end up like a bad cold but with a dry cough.
I've had it, and even after nearly three weeks feel utterly drained.

Sister Sprogs and I have this. Been around 4/5 weeks already! Sometimes it's coughing fits with every other breath! Sleeping is Impossible in those episodes, and the Muscle Aches are pretty Nasty, sometimes in places that you wouldn't think there was any rhyme or reason for!

Have you been tested for Whooping Cough?

Not wishing to spread fear, but a friend of mine has been really ill with whooping cough for weeks.....it got so bad he had bruising all down one side of his body!!!
He's gradually coming out of it now...with medical help of course....but it took a while.
On the less severe side, it would seem there's lots of sore throat viral stuff going around. I have a dose myself, and just feel so drained and fatigued.
But I do think that we need to re-educate ourselves sometimes [and I'm referring to myself here] about allowing yourself to do NOTHING when we get ill - [other than getting outside for a walk on days like this]. It's perfectly ok to wind down, stop and give your body time to get better.

Mrs V has it
My only recommendation is to get "Throat Coat" herbal tea, which seems to help.
Expect it to last 100 days

The fashion for wfh has had a detrimental effect - before if you were too ill to go to the office you had a day off. Now you wfh.
