Has anyone vaccinated and boostered had symptomatic covid recently?

Oh and several epic sneezing fits and a nose that ran like a tap for a few days.

An update to my previous post from a week ago.

I’ve been really unwell since with a cough, headaches and chills. I’ve been generally achy, extremely fatigued and I realised mid week that I have no sense of smell. I would liken it to flu. I’ve also had a couple of days when my chest felt very constricted which was disconcerting.

My DD, SIL and DIL, all triple vaccinated had Covid, before Christmas.
Symptoms of a heavy cold, hacking cough and fatigue, but are starting to improve.

On 29th December I woke up and had a temperature. In the evening I felt quite breathless and had a cough. Oxygen readings down. Felt totally lethargic and brain fog. Had consistent positive LF. Negative PCR. Last sunday had a bad headache . Have had positive LF since. Gradually have felt better to extent able to WFH. I've had both jabs and booster beginning of November. I'm assuming Covid due to symptoms and positive LFS. My PCR test was supposed to be collected at 1.00pm last Saturday ( I dont drive). They turned up at 11am so had to wait for me to do it. I had results back in less than 24 hrs which quite surprising as previously around 48. !
As I say I'm assuming Covid,I didnt feel as bad as some but definitely not well. I have isolated ,fortunately I am in a position to be able to do that. My employer was very supportive and told me not to work if felt too I'll but also supportive in that could WFH rather than risk bringing Covid into office.

Son had covid, double vax and booster, very fatigued for 10 days, brain fog, bad head cold, blocked sinuses, headache and was poorly, enough for me to worry

My son also double vaxed and boosted has COVID. His daughter age 15 had it at the beginning of December and now has it again. Both rather poorly

My son, double vaxed and boosted, has Covid now. He has cough and headache and... itchy feet which, he says, many other people have also had!

Hope you are starting to come out of it Jane, my DS had an absolute stinker of a cold over Xmas, but like most people he tested negative several times.

My niece in Wales who is a hospital doctor has has Covid twice in a month. Obviously she is fully vaxxed. Second infection was very mild apparently.

My DH had similar symptoms to you and 6 negative Covid LFT ‘s he took a PCR and was positive 4 days after initial symptoms. I am asymptomatic but tested positive 2 days ago. We are both double vaxed and boosted.
DD is poorly with flu like symptoms but has not been boosted and only had her second vax on 30th.

I think some people will have caught Delta which is why they have worse symptoms than those that have Omicron. Of course, when the government stop PCR tests they won’t know which variants are around.

Of course we will. PCRs are still done in hospital and the figures will continue to be based on extrapolations as they have always been.

good news is i have started to feel a bit better the past few days still a bit brain foggish but I think I'm going through the menopause too which wont help

I think people are forgetting that it's winter and the time of year when we get colds and coughs. It doesn't have to be Covid but of course, do a LFT to make sure. If you've been triple jabbed you are unlikely to fall seriously ill if it's Covid but take it easy, drink plenty of fluids, keep warm and take paracetamol to ease the symptoms. If in doubt, phone your GP.

I don’t think it’s too late for a pcr Jane. Dh has only just sent one off.

I hope ALL of you feel better soon to maybe it just feels worse to be ill at Christmas/New year too

I started with it 2 weeks ago, sore throat, very heavy cold, blocked sinus and sinus pain, ringing in ears, I've had migraines a couple of days and a bad head. I feel dizzy today, brain fog, have lower back pain, still full of snot and sore throat again. It is just going on forever. I feel worse in a morning. I have been a walk though. I tested the two days before I had symptoms and they were negative and I've tested since, all negative. I think it is late in the day to get a pcr

I am in no way knocking the vaccination program, I am grateful for it too.

I will rest up and try not to mither. I have a house full of boys but they can pretty much look after themselves and I've got their tea ready it just needs chucking in various pans!

Maybe I am a wimp

Dd and dh both triple vaccinated tested positive over Christmas. Dh still unwell as above and not seeming to improve, dd similar though slightly better. Just grateful they have been vaccinated as wonder how much worse it would have been had they not.

Fully vaxxed and boosted here. I’m almost a week behind DH who is still very fatigued ten days on. His symptoms were similar to flu, mine are the same but my chest hurts more, I have a long history of chest infections/bronchitis/scarring on lungs though. I have also had lower back pain along with the head, throat, chest and joint soreness.

No change to sense of taste or smell.

We have very mild doses compared to so many others for which I’m grateful.

The vaccine is working.

8 of us, triple jabbed adults have, tested positive after Christmas. 2 are asymptomatic, the others have mild-ish cold symptoms, feeling tired, etc.
On the first day I knew I’d got it, I also felt terribly cold and shivery - collapsed on the sofa with a blanket and a hot water bottle at my back.
?that’s the worst so far.

Santana,I totally agree re the vaccination programme.I dread to think how ill we would have been if we hadn’t been vaccinated.

I am just interested in what your symptoms were as following a 2 week 'cold' (all LFT negative)I now have awful lower back pain and absolute brain fog

We have had the same over Xmas. LFTs negative but DH had a terrible cold, and I had the fatigue, brain fog and backache. A PCR test over Xmas seemed a step too far, so we isolated for 7 days.
DH had a booster whereas I had third full dose because of Fibromyalgia. FM causes the fatigue and brain fog anyway, so familiar territory.
We are both ok now and agree symptoms weren't too bad.
I am very grateful for the vaccination programme.

We have had both vaccinations and the booster and have been battling Covid for the last week.

We have had sore throat,a dreadful cough and a feeling of absolute exhaustion.DH has had the lower back pain and I have lost my sense of smell.We also both had a high temperature although DH’s much higher than mine.

A week on I feel we have turned a corner.

I hope you are feeling better soon JaneJudge.My only advice is rest if you can and lots of fluids.Paracetamol every four to six hours.

You would be better to get a pcr test if you are concerned that your lft are not picking up covid. Better to have the peace of mind so that you can start to feel better. Get well soon.

It is good no one is seriously ill

I can't think winterwhite, I have the whirring in my head. Feel a bit like I'm on another planet
