I've got Covid

For the fourth time I have Covid, this time it's really on my chest and I have an upset stomach along with shivers and temperature which is fortunately nearly normal. I'm so tired I can hardly move. I have had five Covid vaccinations. It's hardly mentioned now and it's treated almost like a cold but it's a hundred times worse than a cold.

Am I right in thinking they hsve put this years vaccination age up from 70 to 75?

Mom3 was the Paxlovid prescribed by the NHS?

No its from 65 plus others including carers and those with underlying medical conditions

Sigh of relief. Thank you rosie.

I'm in the United States and got Paxlovid for free from the managed health care group we belong to which is Kaiser Permanente.

Florentina51: We had the same thing happen to a 77-year-old relative. His wife tested positive for Covid but he didn't. They both were very fatigued. When he felt better, he was out working in the yard but came in and didn't feel well. He sat down to rest and suddenly died from cardiac arrest.

I’m glad it’s gone, just exhausted by it, wonder if I have long Covid, I will never find out because our doctors don’t appear to be anywhere, well they are but not where we can find one.
